** Well, we do hear that it will be "forty below" in a few moments, and that's in the early ''morning.'' Just because the air is breathable doesn't mean you'd want to live there. But that does raise the question as to why the temperature plummets after dawn.

** The most notorious one in the series - all the Aliens were destroyed in the previous film, and the Queen tore off her ovipositor when she went after Ripley. In this film however [[ContinuitySnarl there is somehow an Ovomorph on board the Sulaco]], in a room the Queen did not and could not possibly enter. Popular [[FanWank fan theories]] are that the Queen keeps an [[HandWave extra egg]] stored in some other part of her body [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief for emergencies]], but that still doesn't explain how it got where it did. Earlier versions of the script did try to justify this - the [[Creator/WilliamGibson Gibson script]] had Bishop's innards infected with material that grew into an egg, and the comic adaptation explains that the original host was ''Newt'', having been impregnated at the end of the previous film (although [[VoodooShark the timeline's too compressed and we see Ripley torch the facehugger meant for her]]). When she began to drown, the queen larva switched to Ripley's body. ([[VoodooShark Which just raises further questions.]])
** The follow-up to that, of course, is where the ''other'' facehugger came from. The opening sequence depicts ''one'' egg, which presumably is the one that infects Ripley. Since the facehuggers die after implantation, it must be dead before Ripley was ejected from the Sulaco. So there's no indication at all where the second facehugger, the one that reaches the surface of Fury in the EEV and infects the dog, came from. (''Videogame/AliensColonialMarines'' goes to great lengths to explain how [[{{Retcon}} Hicks survived]], and shows the facehugger attacking Ripley, but oddly still neglects to reveal it got there.) The Assembly Cut introduces the bigger "Royal Facehugger" and implies it infected Babe the ox as well, which goes some way towards filling this plot hole, at the expense of [[HandWave hand-waving]] it by introducing a creature that can implant multiple types of alien in multiple victims.
** The previous film strongly suggested the Xenomorph acquisition project was dead, and that Burke acted alone based entirely on Ripley's story to further his career. Otherwise, why would the Company have settlers on LV-426 for years without making them scour it for the most precious lifeform in the universe? In this film, however, they act more like a Xenomorph-worshipping cult, able to send a Conestoga-class starship with a compliment of mercenaries, scientists, and a high-ranking executive to Fury 161 at a moment's notice, completely ignoring the [=ICC=] quarantine plot point from the previous film. However, this is more debatable, as ''Aliens'' never made it explicit that the project had been shelved, and it is possible that it was top secret and known only by an elite few, who didn't know what planet the Nostromo had landed on.
** A rather strange example of this is the mysterious character known as Vincent. In all versions of the film, the bait and chase sequence begins when Kevin hears a prisoner screaming and then finds the Alien mauling his dead body. In the Assembly Cut, David identifies the dead body as Vincent, but this is odd as everyone who was at the meeting in the furnace is still alive at this point in time and Vincent was nowhere to be seen during that scene.

The Assembly Cut introduces the bigger "Royal Facehugger" and implies it infected Babe the ox as well, which goes some way towards filling this plot hole, at the expense of [[HandWave hand-waving]] it by introducing a creature that can implant multiple types of alien in multiple victims.

In this film however [[ContinuitySnarl there is somehow an Alien egg on board the Sulaco]], in a room the Queen did not and could not possibly enter. Popular [[FanWank fan theories]] are that the Queen keeps an [[HandWave extra egg]] stored in some other part of her body [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief for emergencies]], but that still doesn't explain how it got where it did. Earlier versions of the script did try to justify this - the [[Creator/WilliamGibson Gibson script]] had Bishop's innards infected with material that grew into an egg, and the comic adaptation explains that the original host was ''Newt'', having been impregnated at the end of the previous film (although [[VoodooShark that's far too compressed for the usual implantation process]]). When she began to drown, the queen larva switched to Ripley's body. [[VoodooShark Which just raises further questions.]]

** A rather strange example of this is the mysterious character known as Vincent. In all versions of the film, the bait and chase sequence begins when Kevin hears a prisoner screaming and then finds the Alien mauling his dead body and in the Assembly Cut, David identifies the dead body as Vincent, but this is odd as everyone who was at the meeting in the furnace is still alive at this point in time and Vincent was nowhere to be seen during that scene.
