Is Blue Monkey (1987) Really an Aliens Rip Off?

Joe and Sean are back in the Video Dungeon and they've brought a hidden gem with them! An old man falls ill after pricking his finger on an exotic flower and is rushed to the hospital, where he births an insect from his mouth that then grows to gigantic proportions. It's kind of a big bug! Officer Duane Barry teams up with Doctor Klingon and that cop from the Super Mario Bros Movie getting a heel massage, to put an end to the creature and its mate before their eggs hatch and they are totally overrun. You know, like in Aliens... but not really! So grab your medical grade laser 'cause we're talking Blue Monkey (aka Insect)!

Take a 50s style horror film in the tradition of "Them" and "The Fly," cross it with the spectacular special effects of the 80s and you've got Blue Monkey. This bizarre tale of horror begins in a greenhouse where a mysterious plant rubs its first victim the wrong way. So wrong that he lands at County Memorial Hospital where he give "birth" to a hideous wormlike creature! Police Detective Jim Bishop (Steve Railsback) and Doctors Glass and Carson (Susan Anspach, Gwynyth Walsh) manage to contain the "thing," but within hours, the Blue Monkey has developed into a grotesque insect of gigantic proportions. Now roaming the corridors looking for its favorite food—human bones—the creature is virtually indestructible. And when it produces an egg-laying female, only one course of action seems apparent. Blow the hospital and everyone inside away. Also starring Don Lake, John Vernon, and Helen Hughes, with cameos by Joe Flaherty and Robin Duke.
