Alien Contamination, Toxic Spawn or Larvae) is a 1980 science fiction-horror film directed by Luigi Cozzi, produced by Claudio Mancini and Karl Spiehs, and starring Ian McCulloch, Louise Marleau, and Marino Masé.

The ship is discovered to be carrying large containers of coffee hidden inside a series of football-sized green eggs.

When pressed, Hubbard agrees to help Holmes investigate the insidious plot to bring the deadly eggs to Manhattan, and it takes them, along with sarcastic New York cop Tony Aris, to a Colombian coffee plantation.

All is not as it seems; Hubbard's former astronaut colleague is alive and well and living under the influence of a monstrous alien Cyclops, which is using mind control to further its plot to flood the world with green eggs and wipe out human life on Earth.

Aris falls under the alien's mental influence and is devoured, but Hubbard saves Stella and kills the Cyclops by shooting out its eye.
