In 1939 a spaceship carrying four alien escaped prisoners crash-lands on Earth and the aliens take over the bodies of four locals. Fifty years later the aliens find out that an artist has written a comic book called "Space Avenger," which they believe is about them. They go to New York to try to kill the artist.

A movie lover's delight! This was one of the early roles for Gina Mastrogiacomo (Janice Rossi of the movie, Goodfellas). It's a shame she didn't get bigger roles after this picture. Yes, the script is lacking and the acting isn't Shakespeare, but it's a lot of fun to watch and it looks like they had fun making it. Mastrogiacomo's character, Ginny was absolutely hilarious, as was the story line between her and her comic book creator boyfriend. I have two copies of this title and would kill for a copy of the poster. Don't be so critical and just have fun with it!

Complete cheeseball madness aping 'The Hidden', but in all honesty it shows occasional signs of competence and is legitimate funny at times.

In the late thirties two young couples, have their bodies possessed by alien reptiles and becomes really strong, are able to regenerate any kind of body damages, and sexual intercourse with earthlings create fire hazards. After some random violence, and nerdy references to older movies, they decide to go into hibernation and wait for earth technology to be up for their needs. Enter now, which seems to be 1989, where there is no trouble blending into the hipster crowd in pre-WW2 fashion. But a comic-book artist, who is too busy working to have sex, manage to notice them and use them as inspiration for his series. A crude, self- published, b/w book, that still seems to be found at every news-stand.

There is all the shlocky action required of blood-spilling, slow-mo shootings, rubbery effects and boobs. One of the aliens starts drinking and when his foot is shotgunned off it regenerates as a hand! A severed arm, regenerates all the way into a full body in a pretty cool effect, that seems to be shot at a location also used in 'Combat Shock'. And Gina Mastrogiacomo get dirty with Jamie Gillis, who burns to charcoal by her alien orgasm. Later she score a cop watching the crime-scene, and do him in the very same bed! Watching her, there is no doubt she would move to bigger things. No siree!

This movie was great when i was young and now that i am older i still like it.but now i am seeing some of the flaws like for example towards the beginning there is a sex scene with a blond and you can clearly see she still has her panties on.another thing i didn't notice(When i was Younger) is the guy from the classic nick game show "Legends of the hidden temple" is in this.Is it just me or is it kinda weird that he was the host of a kids TV show after this,i am sure he was in more than this and hidden temple but now i will always remember him for this role.what can i say this movie has everything.Comedy,bad acting,softcore sex and boobs,b-movie effects at their best gotta love this movie.i highly recommend it so you guys check it out

In the 1930's four aliens arrive on earth after having escaped from a prison planet. An intergalactic agent is on their trail. After killing some people in the 30's, they enter a kind of slumber in their spacecraft. Due to construction works, they are awakened in the 1980's. The mean infiltrators start killing again.

A comic strip author unknowingly starts to turn their adventures into a comic book. So they go after him. But he gets help from the intergalactic agent and together they fight this threat to earth.

Nothing special at all, but the story is quite well written, providing both jokes and action. The director does all he can and some actors even show talent.

Many things don't make sense though. There are two 'sex scenes', both extremely soft core. In the first is the gorgeous Gina Mastrogiacomo. She has a delicious body indeed and acts well in both the sex scene and the action scenes. When it comes to the normal scenes, you can see she is not extremely talented. Anyway: her sex scene is mystifying indeed. In one shot she wears panties, in the next she isn't. Then she is wearing them again, but stepping out of bed we see her lovely ass. The movie really messes up here. And the way Prichard suddenly wears a towel in the scene right after the sex scene is just as amazing.

There is a nice cameo of Jamie Gillis, the renounced porn star. He is a business man and becomes a client of one of the aliens, who is pretending to be a hooker. The very short sex scene that follows is extremely… let's say burning.

Still this is a fine B-movie that can light up a rainy Sunday afternoon. I rate it 6 out of 10.

Four alien prisoners crash on Earth and inhabit the bodies of some 1930s teens. When an alien bounty hunter comes looking for them, the aliens hide in their spaceship for the next 50 years. Cut to the 1980s and a construction crew unearths the ship and releases the aliens still in their 30s human form. They head to NYC to get weapons and plutonium to fix their ship. They also catch the eye of Matt (Kirk Fogg), a comic book artist who makes these outcasts he sees briefly once the main characters of his new comic and his wild imagination depicts them as alien terrorists inhabiting the bodies of folks from the 30s. He's good! Of course, the aliens see this comic and get all angry. And, as if all these coincidences weren't enough, the bounty hunter alien inhabits Matt's girlfriend Ginny (Gina Mastrogiacomo).

This tongue-in-cheek sci-fi flick won me over about midway through when two aliens descend upon a nuclear power plant and shoot over 30 people in the process. You have to love a film with so little respect for safety workers. Richard Haines directed this after SPLATTER UNIVERSITY (1984) and CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH (1986) and his skills have improved somewhat; dramatically compared to SPLATTER. Despite not being made for Troma, the aroma is still there in the splatter, exploding heads, random nudity and slimy aliens. Lead Fogg looked so familiar and hitting the IMDb reminded me he was the host of the early 90s Nickelodeon game show LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE. Mastrogiacomo's next role, believe it or not, was a supporting turn in GOODFELLAS (1990), making one hell of a back-to-back movie role trivia. Robert Prichard is the lead bad alien and he was also in NUKE 'EM HIGH as Spike. Look for Jaime Gillis in a small role and a shot of the Roxy 4 movie theater offering VAMPIRE HOOKERS, DOLEMITE, HI-RIDERS and RUBY on the marquee.

Simplistic, pragmatic, tedious and unforgivably boring. It's very difficult to make a good movie out of a conversation - which is really all this is. I kept waiting for there to be some real action. Never happened. Don't even bother with this one!

A group of four aliens escape from prison and hide here on the planet Earth during the 1930s. After finding some guns and shooting people by the room-full, they decide to go back to their ship for a while(?). Fifty years later some construction workers dig up their ship, and they start killing again. Eventually some guy bases a comic book on them, and they think that it's been made by the aliens that chased them to Earth.

The storyline is actually a bit better than it sounds, but not by much. They kill plenty of people and there are a couple of topless scenes, but nothing to really put this above the usual 1980s crap movies.
