Alien (1979) Plus avec IMDbPro »

Some mild sexual references.

When Ripley is pinned down on the table by Ash, pictures of naked women can be seen on the wall next to them (breasts are slightly visible).

A woman takes off her clothes so that all she has on is an undershirt and panties (you can see the crack of her buttocks).

The alien in this movie shoots a set of teeth at a man (some blood is seen).

The alien bursts through a man's chest while he is eating dinner with the rest of the crew (blood spurts everywhere).

The alien attacks a man and pierces his head with his inner jaw (a puddle of blood is shown in the director's cut).

A man is attacked by the alien, and you see blood in his mouth as he screams; it is then implied that Lambert is raped by the alien; later, you see the man very briefly with blood on him and a severed foot dangling nearby.

A man is hit in the head with a fire extinguisher and white substance comes out of him; he is then hit once more and his head tears off; moments later, we figure out he is a robot; afterwards, the crew asks him questions and at first he answers with sputters and spurts (his blood is white, though).

A man cuts a "finger" off a facehugger and it bleeds acid.

The crew looks at the insides of a facehugger alien.

5 F-words, 1 sexual reference, 8 scatological terms, 1 anatomical term, 20 mild obscenities, 5 religious profanities, and 8 religious exclamations.

Some people smoke cigarettes.

There are some scenes that will make you jump and some scenes that you may find intense or frightening.

In one scene an alien surprisingly burst through a man's chest.

In the scenes when the monster shoots teeth at its victims, it will make you jump.

In the scene when Ripley is getting ready for hypersleep, a monster reaches out to grab her.

When Dallas is in the air ducts, the alien screeches when he sees him and reaches out to grab him (very brief moment, yet still very frightening).

Parker and Lambert are attacked by an alien. Very frightening and intense. It is also very discreetly implied that Lambert is raped by the alien (though you don't see anything, her screams and deep cries that are heard can be very disturbing).

The alien is more frightening than it is violent or gory.

In the scene with the alien eggs, one egg opens and an alien jumps out and attaches to Kane's face (a very surprising jump moment).
