Species

Factual error: At the end when the oil in the cavern is burning there is no sign of smoke. With a fire as large as it appears to be, everyone in there should be choking to death, yet they don't even seem the least bit bothered. Forest Whitaker should have also been roasting over the flames, yet he is unscathed.

Factual error: When Sil grabs Dan's ankle whilst he is hanging over the oil pit, she climbs completely out of the oil, she should be entirely aflame at this point as she is coated in oil and had to pull herself through the burning surface. Dan's leg would also catch fire from this and should be severely burned, not to mention the fact that he was just hanging over a fire.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where she drives the car (with the kidnapped woman in it) down the hill towards the breaker/electrical box, when she hops out at the very last second you can clearly see a person dressed all in black sitting in the driver's seat driving the car down the hill.

Trivia: Creature designer H.R. Giger personally financed the "nightmare train" sequence after the studio refused to fund it due to its high cost and short length. It reportedly cost him nearly $100,000 between paying for the props, the filmstock, the effects and the camera crew.
