Alien: Romulus

Trivia: When the Xenomorph lands over Kay, director Fede Alvarez asked for a bucket of cold water to be thrown at Isabela Merced to obtain a better scare face. Isabela says she was not informed earlier that they were going to throw cold water on her, so the face you see in that scene is her real face of fright trying to catch air because of how scared she was.

Trivia: While Rain is eating and talking with Andy in the background, a dipping bird can be seen, just like in Alien and Alien: Covenant.

Continuity mistake: This film takes place after the events of "Alien." At the end of "Alien," the Nostromo is vaporized in a massive nuclear explosion, but in this film, massive chunks of it are found floating in space. Not to mention the fact that even if such giant pieces survived, they would have been propelled outward indefinitely and would not all be floating in the same confined area.
