Where is the Facehugger in the Med room?

Member


Posted 02/22/2012

The tail drops down over Ripley's shoulder from a high spot, so
does it end up clamped on the ceiling somewhere? The thought
of it detaching itself and skittering around the med-lab before clambering
up the walls to die on the ceiling is very nighmarish and creepy.
None of the films have ever shown the huggers detaching themselves
and the last few minutes/seconds of their lives.

That would be interesting to see, especially how gruesome the implantation tentacles would be as they slipped out of the victim's mouth. Also, I like how in Alien, if you watch carefully, there are actually multiple small tentacles coming from the facehugger, as opposed to the bulky fat one featured in the sequels.

@Dewey70 that was actually clams made to look like insides, places inside of a horseshoe crab or something, not testicles. also i think the facehuger in alien looks the best when on the face, but the best facehuger insides would need to be the ones from aliens, much more realistic :) and yeah that would be creepy, kind of like the running one from aliens, but up the wall :x

I wouldn't use the other films to explain anything concerning the first... All the sequels bastardized the 1979 film and took the story off in their own direction separate from Ridleys.

If you watch the scene just before it drops on her shoulder, you can just see it at top right to middle screen. It's almost as if Ash poked it with that inspection light, stick, or whatever it was, and fell off the other side onto her shoulder. I'll try to capture a screen shot.

@invaderzim42 Naw, I meant "tentacles," not testicles. The thin tube that goes down the victim's throat. I saw an artist's rendering online not too long back, and according to it, one of the tubes fed the embryo into the throat, while a separate tube went down the victim's lungs. I'll try and see if I can dig it up.

Zeta I agree with you on that one - the way that scene is edited & the way Ash is acting it appears he pushed it off the shelf or whatever it was sitting on right onto Ripley. If you notice right after that happens he comes from right around the other side of the cabinetry that was between him and Ripley.

Is it just me but in all the alien film as well as the AVP spin
Offs, the facehuggers appear to be able to only implant 1 embryo. However in alien 3 I think it manages to implant Riply In the Sulaco with a queen and then implant the dog/bull on Fury? I havnt seen it in ages, are there 2 facehuggers?? V
