The whole universe connected with citing as the reasoning behind it all: Mostly thanks to Val Verde! Commando, Speed, Die Hard, Blade Runner, Alien & Predator are in the same overall universe. Terminator & Robocop are connected loosely thry games and comics. 



 Also, too much speculation here: https://www.quora.com/Do-Predators-exist-in-the-Alien-Covenant-Prometheus-world?top_ans=113861419

Species II had an earlier script mentioning the Alien origin planet but since both Chris Brancato came at the finished script in a campy way and even designer HR Giger claimed his Species designs were derivative of his Alien saga creations, it’s doubtful that there’s any attempted canon.

Elements of Alien 3 were noted as inspiring both the first Species and Pitch Black but again no connection, despite the first and third Riddick films having similar creatures and contributions by the Wheat brothers, as there was no loose or direct establishing link between either franchise.

Also, despite the 24 TV show saga originally trying to crossover with Die Hard, if not tip its hat, there’s no correlation between either at this time. 

 The 1998 film Soldier references some Star Trek II planets but that’s likely as a joke or homage given how unoriginal Paul WS Anderson is.

 A Season 14 episode of NCIS has a part of Paraguay naned Val Verde but that was likely meant as an inside joke given how that was also the name for the L.A. filming location. I highly doubt it’s part of the same universe as while this show is a spin-off of JAG, it has referenced various movies (including Die Hard) for pop culture related jokes.

 I was also fortunate enough to interview author James Swallow who noted how he worked in the airport from Die Hard 2 into his recent Splinter Cell novels.

Themes The ESRB doesn't really have themes as one of its classifiable elements (with the exception of Suggestive Themes), but it may classify it anyway. Examples can be horror themes, sexual themes, suggestive themes and violent themes. An example is the Five Nights at Freddy's series: the games are usually rated T for fantasy violence. Fantasy violence could be accommodated at a lower rating (E10+) but the ESRB secretly rated it based on its themes too; the themes just don't show up on the Content Descriptor box.

Violence Since 2006, E can only have mild unrealistic violence (e.g. Mild Fantasy Violence/Mild Cartoon Violence). E10+ rated video games can have Mild Violence and standard Fantasy Violence and Cartoon Violence descriptors. While some E10+ rated video games can have mild blood (and in some rare cases, E rated video games may have blood without violence), Blood (and Gore) is restricted to a T rating or higher. Gore may only be present in T rated video games if the gore is stylized or cartoony, and if it is viewed from a perspective other than first-person.

Sex One game with sexual content, however, got rated T.

Nudity The ESRB, similar to the MPA, is very strict with nudity. The ESRB is very strict with nudity. Games with partial nudity is allowed in T rated video games and above.

Offensive language The ESRB allows religious language for E rated video games ("damn", "hell"), mild language for E10+ rated video games ("b*tch", "crap", "bastard", "piss", "ass", "frick"), slightly stronger language at the T rating ("s**t", "a*shole", "d**k", "p***y", "pr**k", "n**ga") and some racial slurs.

M-rated games that should be T, E+10 and E
