The Iconic Chestburster Scene - ALIEN (1979) Movie Clip

I just realized, almost 45 years later. that I saw this movie in the same theater in Nyack NY that I had seen Jaws four years before. That means the two iconic scenes that sent me straight up out of my seat like I could fly---the first appearance of the shark while Roy Scheider is chumming and this beaut with the chestbuster---could well have happened in the same seat.

From the moment I seen this scene as a child I always associated alien movies with chest bursting. Hell to this day. That's what I expect when I see any type of sci-fi movie😂😂

I've seen this movie 2 times already and my local indie cinema showed this last night. Seeing it on the big screen was something else, what a fucking scene, man.

Ash: You're a beautiful, beautiful butterfly!

Une ambiance morbide, avant c'était en deux mots mord-bide, et il est apparus suite au film Alien de 1979, lorsque l'alien sort du ventre de l'homme.
L'ambiance entourant cette scène est restée et fût nommé mord-bide par rapport au coup de mâchoire que la créature à fait en sortant de sa victime.

What a little cutie pie that alien is so adorable

It's so cute😂❤

How chestburster come out of chest IN 1979???

I saw Alien when it came out. The "chest burst" scene was intense in the theater. Great movie

The fact that this came OUT OF NOWHERE

“Not again!”

Hey ladies, this is how it feels to have a dick, don’t envy us!

Love how Brett is smoking while trying to hold this man down lmao

Apparently the actors didnt know that the creature was coming out of his chest. The reactions were genuine

Eso le pasará a la gente que votanpof MORENA ynse come el frijol con gorgojo

I remember watching this as a kid terrified asking my dad to change to Cartoon Network . He replied either this or we go to sleep 😂

My god that trailer is incredible. They don't make them like this anymore

The baby xenomorph surveys the room. Then calmly says "you're all dead." Theb it scurries across the room.

Bruh. Why did they not help him? They just let it kill him.

Make sure that your own stomach is empty while watching this.

Fun fact: Dan O'Bannon, the screenwriter for Alien, suffered from Crohn's disease, and this scene was based specifically on the pain the disease caused him - at times it was so bad that it felt like something was physically trying to claw its way out of his stomach. He lived with this condition until 2009, but died from complications of the disease at the age of 63.

yes

The crew went crazy after ken lays down the table

Bro shoulda let him touch it ..

If it was me, and I saw it crawling out of me, I'd be like "GET BACK IN THERE!!".

What a heart wrenching scene

Four things about this scene: 1. I watched the exact chestburster moment for the first time utterly out of context at around 12 years old-- my twin brother, a big horror movie fan, had recorded some top 100 countdown of the scariest horror movie scenes; being a horror weenie (massive understatement), I left the room literally in tears 5 clips in. Could still hear everything, though, and I knew Alien was famous, so morbid curiosity brought me back.
2. So Imagine my surprise when, as an adult, I braved the entire movie and discovered that the lead-up to That Moment was a million times more horrifying and scary. (I didn't leave the room, but I did the couch to stand much farther from the TV.)
3. I still think the android scene is the scariest thing in that movie. also surprising to me.
4. I have never in my life gone from horrified, wish-i-wasn't-waching-this why-am-i-watching-this angst to howling laughter and needing to pause the movie as fast as I did as when the alien spawn ran away, and I don't think I ever will. biggest mood whiplash ever.

what’s the matter the food ain’t that bad baby.“

That metal rod on the chest-buster should have been removed digitally....

Tiene un bicho de Paternal!

So that’s where Obama came from!

Even Brett lost his cigarette with that one.

5 week embryos in humans are the basis of thos model

Jesus! That's gotta hurt!! 😬😮

This was so much more horrible when i was a kid... dammmmm

gonna keep this for later... thanks homie

eres un thomas? 🐸

"Don't touch it!"

Yeah, fuck that, if I see that happening I am swinging for the fences.

For me the thing about Alien is that they should’ve all stayed in one place and waited for the thing to come find them instead of going off on their own in the darkness and all getting killed

John Hurt's acting is perfection. He acts with his whole body which makes the scene so much more devastating.

One of the best directing squences in movie history

And here I thought the water was for keeping the xenomorph growing inside well hydrated

Bro, when the alien came out, that scared the shit out if me

Definitely should have killed it.

Can't take this scene seriously because of Spaceballs.

This’ why you never buy sushi from a gas station

Def not the chest idiots, do you have any idea how stupid u are? Learn some anatomy? That scene was completely garbage. The spoon??? Over the mouth? Ohhh yeah the body rejects the aliens soo give ‘em the spoon for the morphine to shut em up
