Birth Scene
The birth scene at the end was pretty disturbing.

That part always confused me.
Suspending disbelief for the film, I still have a hard time buying the monster-baby would "birth" itself by ripping through her abdomen. The path of least resistance is still out the same way its Papa got in, which is not that way! (Same criticism also applies to "Species 2.")

And Leon's getting laaaaarrrrrger!
But the baby is just that, a baby. It doesn't have that kind of intelligence yet. It has fangs and claws and it found the easy way out. The doctors standing around should have performed a c-section. But then we wouldn't have gotten Corman's homage to Alien.
share In-universe response: I'm contending that wasn't the easiest way out for it. My contention is that it would take intelligence that it doesn't possess to think, "Hey, I'm ripping through this wall of flesh," instead of just sliding out where the exit is. If a C-Section was needed, it would just hang out until the incision was made.
In-reality response: No doubt. Corman wanted to "honor" the scene from 'Alien'. It's more gore and that's not a bad thing for a movie like this.
So, my essential problem is with the in-universe position. I fully understand the realities of movie-making and the decision from that perspective.

Corman also made Carnosaur which features dinosaurs being birthed by women.
