Question
i'm trying to find the name of a film i seen a few years back all i can tell it was a sci-fi/horror film with a giant action man in it and a bath tub full of strange eggs.

Answer
Hi Craig,

The movie you are looking for is called "Xtro" which was made in 1983. A plot summary from imdb.com follows:

"After being abducted by aliens three years earlier Sam (Phillip Sayer) returns to earth and reunites himself with his wife Rachel (Bernice Stegers) and son Tony (Simon Nash). While Sam was away Rachel moved on with her life and started seeing Joe (Danny Brainin) and after the arrival of Sam at the couples flat Joe begins to suspect that Sam is not all that he appears to be."
