Alex da Silva Lloyd Bridges (Kyle) is an alien who is fighting an inter-planetary war on Earth. Two planets have sent 3 representatives to fight it out at designated locations. The aliens take human form and whoever wins gets to control Earth as well. So, the film follows Bridges as he fights this three against three battle. During his mission, he comes across Angie Dickinson (Sandy) whilst travelling on a bus. She takes a shine to him but he is endangering himself by letting her accompany him. Can love conquer all? This is an entertaining sci-fi offering. It has a minimal cast with what looks like no extras. Sets are deserted. Still, it keeps you watching and the ending is memorable. However, the picture quality is not good. Thankfully, this doesn't ruin the experience.
HyperPup I feel as though an angel has smiled on me. After years of wanting to see this movie I finally saw it. This was one of the ABC movie of the week deals that I learned about in high school back in the 80's. Unfortunately I was born a scant 5 or 6 months before it aired on ABC, which meant my parents were probably enjoying it whilst I was napping in my crib in another room. I can't remember how I found out about it back in 1988 but I did, and had a nice enough of a working idea of the plot to attempt a remake of my own. That became my senior video project in my Mass Media class and while it got me an "A" in the class, it didn't garner me much recognition. I even built the props in addition to making the script! The producers needn't get their lawyers ready as I have long since lost the footage of me and my friends running around reenacting what was poorly but cogent rendition of their movie. However it would be nice if someone would remake the movie for a more modern retelling. A good made for TV movie with a nice twist-ending.
Orman Beckles Like most of the other comments I also saw this as a kid...I don't even think I knew it was a sci-fi movie at the beginning...but as they chased each other and fired their guns...I got very involved.So I was excited to see it available for download on the internet! I don't want to start a discussion about downloads! I would have paid to obtain this movie thru normal channels (will if someone tells me where..seriously I feel that strongly about it...Tori Spelling maybe?) I didn't even think it was possible since I don't think VHS was even around back then. Any ways I set it to download...since its so rare it took 6 1/2 months (not kidding...I think only one other person was making it available) and this morning 5:47 est, to my surprise it had finished.Like Indiana Jones holding a diamond....I pressed the "PLAY" button.Yes I enjoyed it! The whole war issue it brings up is a great a conversation piece now as it was back then. It has lost nothing...But the most important part for me! After 37 1/2 years later I get a second look thru those glasses! I can finally cross it off my list of things to do...seriously...I never thought I would see it again..but really wanted to...and now I have.Just a trip to the moon and my list is complete and I can die a happy man......I really thought the trip to moon would be crossed off before I saw this movie again! (wink)
CatoTSR2 A really strange esoteric sci-fi movie, that came out of the 70s creative culture period: Lloyd Bridges and Angie Dickenson, in a sexy exciting winner takes all,inter galactic rival war,on planet earth: Only identifiable by some really cool looking sexy shades. These aliens were out to kill each other,by hook or crook,cloned as humans! Climatic ending, resulting in a Moor-ssh want for a sequel,that never was.Shame really,yet another one of these black and white 70s B movies,that never gets an airing on afternoon time TV. Out of the Brotherhood of The Bell, Mould: Time for the cover version chaps, Im thinking Charlize Theron and Daniel Craig for the 2008 remake!
