Not only are the film’s unfit and ill-disciplined military crew able to mow plenty of them down, but some of them are killed by handguns and the Queen is even indisposed by a slow robot punch, too.
Thankfully Ripley’s emphatic use of the swear “bitch” papers over this specific cracks, though.
But as the trailer points out, it’s not all quite so faultless.
While Alien presented the Xenomorph as the perfect killing machine, and a creature that has almost no weaknesses, the creatures are a little bit more fallible in the follow-up.
