Alien 3 (1992)

Corrected entry: In the credits - and the warden says it - they mention chromosome YY, or double YY. But that is impossible; women are XX and men are XY; you have to have an X chromosome, sometimes you can have XXY, and maybe there are other variations, but there must be an X, no matter what.

Correction: XYY chromosomes in human males is quite common and is usually referred to as YY syndrome (though it isn't really a syndrome, medically speaking). They are using medical shorthand. Nothing unusual about that. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XYY_syndrome.

This explanation is incorrect. The warden is using "Double Y" as shorthand for "male" and not referring specifically to any medical conditions the inmates might have. He is discussing the fact that a woman entering the facility full of violent men is problematic. The dialogue is incorrect as it assumes that females are "Double X" and males are "Double Y" when in fact males would be "XY", as the original entry states.

Alien 3 (1992)

Corrected entry: One of the prisoners says there's no freezers for ice cream, but in the morgue, when the girl's drawer is opened, you can plainly see the vapour that comes from a freezer; they could easily keep the ice cream and lots of other goodies in the morgue freezers.

Correction: Morse doesn't say they have no way to store ice cream, he says they don't have any ice cream full stop. There isn't any ice cream on the planet, irrespective of the fact they have freezers in the morgue.
