Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When escaping from the Queen, Ripley and Newt get into the elevator to our left. A second elevator arrives to our right which the Queen enters. On the platform, Ripley and Newt emerge from the elevator door to our right, and the Queen from the door to our left. The elevators haven't switched places: they boarded using the cargo doors on the front of the elevator, and exited using the cargo doors on the back, so we're seeing the opposite side of the elevators.
