Sorry, WHAT?!It's an obscure, apparently terrible C-movie with no BTS involvement with the Alien franchise. It reminds me of that random film with Judith Myers' tombstone.

Are you talking about Judith Myers? It was discussed a while back.Sorry, WHAT?!
RH Weyland is probably a distant cousin or somethingIt's not that confusing. It doesn't have a proper placement. It's set after 2012... that's all we know. 2020 probably works better with the technology and development of the AVP universe. Fuck knows how R. H. Weyland would fit into the Weyland family tree.
I took out 2000 and 2050, since David Carradine appears to be voicing a different Frankenstein in Death Race to his original incarnation (apparently someone from the 3rd film). It's already difficult enough to reconcile everything.
Which threadAre you talking about Judith Myers? It was discussed a while back.
More consistent with Blade Runner, Soldier, Underwater, etc.I got a question what does the placement of the film being in 2020 have to do with the tech level?
Yup Ik Caleb and Malcolm have the same face and voice.. well ehm just close an eye on that.also according to the Whedonverse wiki this are the Series that share a universe:

The technology in Death Race is less advanced than those films. It makes a small, minimal difference to place it just a little earlier to them.What does the placement have to do with the consistency of the tech?
Lol, Cabin in the Woods? I don't know about that one.also according to the Whedonverse wiki this are the Series that share a universe:

It even automatically locks on like a WY gun. A very interesting easter egg. Firefly works well for another reason too, being that the Earth in the 26th century is a dead planet, just like how it's pretty much on its way in Alien: Resurrection. WY apparently saved much of Earth but I think you could rationalise it as it still being a total mess with only a few people living on it. The Sea of Sorrows novel is likely the biggest issue, since there's still humans on Earth in 2497, only 20 years before Firefly.Weyland-Yutani's UA 571-D Ground Sentry (from Firefly) is the same name as Weyland-Yutani's UA 571-C Automated Sentry Gun (from Aliens) but with the letter D, I assume it was loosely intended to imply that it's a later version of the same gun developed for a different purpose. Honestly, even as an easter egg that shows up on-screen for a few seconds, that detail gives it a lot more validity than if it were just the logo.
