The production reality behind the scene in Alien when Dr. Kane discovers the Xenomorph eggs sounds completely disgusting.
The Big Picture When it comes to iconic films of horror cinema, pictures that culturally and artistically revolutionize their genre and filmmaking techniques and leave a lasting impact on audiences for decades to come -- very, very few movies can hold a candle to 1979's historic sci-fi marvel, Alien.
Alien How Was the Xenomorph's Egg in 'Alien' Designed? The Xenomorph's egg is the first form of life in the Xenomorph life cycle and, in reality, is more of a living organism than an actual egg. It serves as a sort of standalone womb, one with a symbiotic relationship to the Face Hugger that inhabits inside of it .
As per Entertainment Weekly, to represent the natural, biological order of life, gestation, and conception, as well as take the egg's concept as a sort of living womb to its natural conclusion, Giger originally designed the Xenomorph egg to resemble a female reproductive organ that would presumably "give birth" to the Face Hugger.
The egg was entirely practical from its shell to its movement, allowing actor John Hurt to interact with it in a very palpable, believable way. The interior of the egg was created by stuffing the womb full of sheep intestines and then encasing them with a cow's stomach, giving it its horrifyingly believable look.
