The original, effects-only version of the Sil's nightmare scene where she dreams of herself in her alien form mating with a male alien was twenty minutes long, and was much more detailed and graphic. H.R. Giger, who designed some of the effects for the movie, loved the original uncut version of the scene, and hated that it was only a few seconds long and poorly edited. Giger also came up with the idea of killing Sil by blowing her head off, since he thought that her original death where she gets burned alive with a flamethrower was weak. Giger had some other suggestions for the ending, one of which included a much bigger and more action-packed ending in a drive-in theater showing Ridley Scott's Alien (1979), a movie on which Giger also worked. In that ending, the military fought Sil with helicopters and Laura eventually killed Sil by blowing her head off with a rocket launcher. After she gets killed, Sil's baby crawled out of her, but also died, either by explosion, or by being beaten to death by one of the soldiers.
