Brett's death was storyboarded by Sir Ridley Scott originally for the Alien to use its inner mouth to take his heart out of his chest, harkening back to the image of the space jockey. The Alien would then leave Brett, where he would be found by Parker and Ripley, who'd cradle his body. Scott abandoned this idea, due to it being too similar a death to the chestburster scene, and the scene that now plays, was made up on the day it was shot. In the scene as filmed, the Alien would grab Brett's head so tightly in its hands that blood started pouring from it as he screams for Parker and Ripley. However, the studio balked at the amount of blood, so in the finished scene, there is only a brief shot of the Alien breaking Brett's skull with its jaw, and pushing him to the ground before it drags him up towards the air duct with the cat watching. The Director's cut restores a shot where Parker and Ripley come in and see Brett being dragged off for a brief moment.
