A lot of thoughts put into the chestburster practical effect. This is pure old school filmmaking.

Just realizing this but the chestburster isn’t just smaller cuz of Aileen Wu but also cuz of the accelerated and possibly even premature lifecycle.

That’s what I thought too when I saw the film. Like she wakes back up to instantly everyone in a panic that is stressed her enough for the chest buster to come out almost immediately. It probably might also explain the cocoon after like a second incubation.
@juiceekay74288 күн бұрын
@@deadshot7062 I think the cocoon is something that does happen in a normal Xeno lifecycle especially with how Fede explained it. The cocoon determines how many biomechanical features a Xeno may have. Hence why in the movies each Xeno looks different than the others & why Scorch has his signature lightning bolt Scar.

Not to take anything away from Alec Gillis, but while Giger designed the Alien Xeno and did some drawings and sculptures of the facehugger and chestburster for the movie, the chestburster design as we know it came from Roger Dicken who was a practical effects artist in the UK. Gigers chestburster looked more like a small turkey and was rejected by Ridley Scott. Roger Dicken sculpted a new chestburster that resembled the longer head of the adult xeno blending into the body and tail with some direction from Ridley and created the final design. He also created a backup animatronic puppet when the main one failed to break through the shirt and act in a convincing way. So the one we see on screen is actually his hand operated puppet. He sadly passed away in Feb. 2024 and he often doesn't get the credit he deserves for the original film, where he did a lot of the work that appeared on screen in many of the iconic moments.

Roger Dicken designed the chesburster based on Giger's adult alien head. Giger's chesburster looked more like a plucked bird.
