Funny story I heard about Giger. He first designed the Facehugger eggs to look like vaginas when they opened, but then he realized that the Christians might get offended by that so he redesigned them to open with four flaps in a cross shape thinking that they wouldn't be offended because "they like looking at crosses".

You know what's extremely weird? Thunder Force V also has a jungle stage and has a mini-boss that appears at the beginning that looks and behaves virtually exactly as that Panzer Dragoon II boss.

I love that kind of stuff. The (real) final boss of Chakan had some Xeno elements that aren't found in the rest of the game.
It looks like a big humping apparatus.
