Alien Space Avenger

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.

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!

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.

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!

HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME, (4) and today we review .... anal space avengers .....wait ...wrong film .....

so ...

here we have everyones favorite 1989 classic sci fi movie that everyone remembers right ? ..... right ? .... anyone ? .... hmmmm well apparently this one flew well under the radar BUT in fact isnt half bad .....kind of runs along the lines of "attack of the killer tomatoes" kind of vibes in the comedy sense .... its got that self aware feeling of the creators knew not to take it too seriously or it would ruin everything about this film ... and it would have 100 % ..... so letting it breath as a sci fi comedy really plays to its advantage here ...other wise the story would have fallen flat and the acting would have been in serious need of night classes at the local theater ...

over all its a decent ode to the comics it was story lined into ....the old school 1930-50's styled action comics , a more wholesome era of comics where half the crap was SO BORING !!!!!!!!! But also aliens landing taking hosts... fighting the super hero ...AND ...literally shooting everything that moves lol.... good god people who gave them a gun license ?????....because they are RALLY misusing it , they didnt practice gun safety one time !!! I mean always point down when not using the gun !!! ...

the alien FX are pretty cool i must say, from the aliens them selves to the exploding body parts and the regrowing of said body parts the FX team did a fantastic job .....

the music however .... is what happens when you buy the latest in casio keyboard technology from the 80's and push the "demo" button .... why ... i mean ... chances are what i just said is 95% probably what actually DID happen .... so ... never mind .......

as a film on whole it was okay, had alot of what made 80/90's films great ... boobs blood and explosions ....and monsters ....so it deserves a solid score for that alone BUT it also does have a pretty well paced story, HOWEVER lacks alot of cohesive explanations aka plot holes everywhere SO if you ignore that stuff ... eh im sure youll enjoy it ....

taking it for the era its made ill give it a 7/10 ....
