9 Classic Movies With Insane Unofficial Sequels

Italy had a great old time ripping off Hollywood in the 1980’s, where everything from Mad Max to Jaws “inspiring” a parade of knock-offs. They even managed to squeeze in a couple of Alien “sequels” before Aliens came along, including Alien Contamination.

The movie uses the effective cost saving measure of setting the story on Earth, with Alien Contamination finding a group of scientists teaming up to stop a terrorist destroying the human race with exploding alien eggs. The eggs spit out poisonous goo that causes people explode in glorious slow motion, and the eggs are laid by an alien Cyclops. If it sounds nuts that’s because it is; the plot is a haphazard mash-up of Alien and a Roger Moore Bond movie. 

It even features a flashback to an astronaut finding a chamber of alien eggs on Mars, a scene that shows Alien could have been pretty silly if Ridley Scott hadn’t been around. It’s a fun movie in its own way, but Aliens it most certainly is not.
