PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
JoeB131 This movie has some good actors in it. Not marquis names, but people you've heard of. Charles Napier, Ron Glass and Julie Newmar.And for some reason, they are doing a movie that rips off the Alien Movies for no good reason.So, a satellite crashes on Earth, and releases an alien monster that proceeds to kill people. It's mostly about a pair of cops who don't play by the rules (Napier and Glass) investigating this incident, but we also have a group of shadowy government people who mostly stay a room with some consoles, and a psychic played by Julie Newmar, probably because they got her for a day and didn't know how to use her in the film.The real star of this film is the badly done copy of the alien movies, which includes a "facehugger" a "chestburster" and an adult form, but we are totally not ripping off the Xenomorphs from Alien.Ridley Scott and James Cameron had the good sense to hide their aliens to make them more menacing. This movie doesn't show that level of sophistication. They just stick the alien in early on.
yeodawg Alien spin-off I love these str8 to video monster movies. You can always guess what inspired them. In this one somebody saw the movie ALIENS with the space marines who-haaaing it up around the spacecraft. They decided it would be cooler if the alien crash landed on earth and a salt and pepper "MIAMI VICE" cop team had to deal with it. Wrong, nothings cooler than space marines win a run gun-battle with Alien creatures on a space station. However there were some cool points to be had. This film is so old the clothes are now in style again. The men in black show- up, there were using them long before the x-files. There's a scene in his apartment where he's grabbing every hi-tech gun there is but a GSG-9 only because it wasn't invented yet. This scene rivals the TERMINATOR gun store scene.
udar55 Maverick detectives Ian McLemore (Charles Napier) and Jerry Merris (Ron Glass) find a routine investigation of the death of two teenagers takes a twist when they discover the killer is some kind of mutant alien thingy created by the U.S. Government. Naturally, whatever they do pisses off Capt. Robertson (Bo Svenson, proving he really isn't Napier in real life) and interferes with McLemore's plans on bedding young police woman Carla Sandbourn (Ann Turkel). Just kidding, he has mad bag piping skills that get her to take her clothes off (really!). This low-rent ALIEN rip-off from Fred Olen Ray works mostly due to the lead performance by Napier. He is genuinely funny and totally game for the crazy stuff he is asked to do (chasing mini-aliens around L.A.; chainsawing the monster in the finale). And the aforementioned seduction by bagpipe is truly something you've never seen before. Ray skimps on the gore and nudity (odd for him) but does deliver a nice gooey monster (which apparently comes with its own strobe light). Julie Newmar pops up for a few scenes as a psychic who is always calling McLemore with tips on where the alien is. Nice way to cover your holes, Fred.
Darth-Helmet A Government experiment from space just landed somewhere in L.A., it's a horde of alien pods that unleashes monstrous baby creatures including one huge mother-^%&$^%&* that go around the city killing people in the alleys and neighborhoods, it's up to a rookie cop ( played by Charles Napier from "Jury Duty", " Rambo-First Blood part II" and " Silence of the Lambs") to stop these monsters.Pretty much decent for a low-budget Sci-fi flick that changes the whole Cops-and-Robbers theme to Cops-and-Aliens instead, some of the acting is stiff but there is a good apperence by Batman: The Series's Julie Newmar and a cool looking more that makes this an entertaining movie worth checking out.If you liked " Return of the Aliens: The Deadly Spawn" and " Bad Taste" then this is for you.6/10.
