Alien
(1979)
In director Ridley Scott's atmospheric sci-fi thriller:
- the opening scene - the 'birthing' scene - of hypersleeping
crew members of on the Nostromo ("Mother")
who emerged from separate egg-shaped, coffin-like cribs
- the discovery of a huge, derelict alien spaceship
that had crash landed on an uncharted planet, with its two hind
'legs' visible and extending upwards; the crew explored and entered
the ship through vaginal openings leading
to the inside of the 'body' of the spacecraft; there, they found a gigantic, fossilized, reptilian, alien creature
- described as leathery and skeletal with a ribbed surface; it
was seated, with its ribs bent outwards
- the view of a pod field composed of rows of eggs
(semi-translucent) resting below a bluish, reactive mist; Nostromo crew
member Kane (John Hurt) was attacked by the 'face-hugging' alien
as he explored the alien ship and the rows of egg sacs; the
Face-hugger had a bilateral hand of eight fingers that grasped
and covered Kane's head; later, its underside revealed dark, fleshy
and moist-appearing labial folds, and there was also a phallic-shaped
proboscis that had forcibly inserted itself into the victim’s
mouth; there was an attempt to surgically
remove the parasitic Alien from Kane's face, spilling an acid-like
substance that ate through metal layers in the ship
- in the film's most startling and gory scene, after
Kane had been 'impregnated' by the insidious creature as a surrogate
mother, he 'gave birth' to the phallic-shaped baby alien - the
newborn alien burst from his bloody chest - as a Chest-burster

- the life-and-death struggle with the relentless
Alien as it committed murders, now that it had grown to full size
as a Xenomorph; it was momentarily viewed as a slimy, penis-headed
beast about 7 feet tall, with dripping secretions from its open
vaginal-shaped mouth; inside the Xenomorph's mouth was a second
set of pharyngeal jaws
- the scene of the bludgeoning of Ash (Ian Holm) revealing
that he was an android/robot; and when Ash's severed head was reactivated,
he warned: "You
still don't understand what you're dealing with"

- the scene of crew-member Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver)
question to "Mother" (the ship's computer) and its harsh
answer:
"Insure return of organism for analysis. All other considerations
secondary. Crew expendable"
- the Alien's head-splitting murder of crew member
Brett (Harry Dean Stanton) when he searched for the crew's cat named
Jones
- in an air shaft of the Nostromo, Dallas with
a flame-thrower was guided with the help of a tracker to try and
locate the alien - when suddenly the tracker screen showed a second
dot moving ominously straight toward him: (Navigator Lambert (Veronica
Cartwright): "Oh God, it's moving right towards you. Move! Get
out of there!"; the Alien attacked with two hands upraised when
Dallas turned and shined his light onto it - the monitor screen ended
its transmission with static and a very high-pitched whine
- Lambert
(Veronica Cartwright) was also lethally attacked - the creature's phallic
tail slid up between her legs and she made pseudo-orgasmic grunts and
howls of pain over an intercom as she was killed (offscreen), implying
that she was literally raped
- the ending sequence inside the Narcissus shuttle
(with a throbbing blue strobe light) revealed sole remaining Ripley's
starkly female appearance in a braless, sleeveless white tank top
(revealing her erect nipples) and skimpy, low-cut mini-panties
as she confronted the threatening, phallic alien beast; she protected
her fragile flesh from penetration after dressing herself in an
astronaut suit; she realized, to her horror, that
the Alien was still onboard

- she fought the creature to the death - when she
opened the airlock to expel the Xenomorph, it held on until Ripley
shot a harpoon at the creature to completely eject or expel it,
but it still persisted by grasping a rope (its umbilical cord)
until it was incinerated by a blast from the ship's engines
