Alien Warrior

I can't quite figure out exactly what audience the filmmakers were trying to reach with this film. It's basically a kid's movie about an alien who comes to Earth to defeat "great evil". But they also throw in lots of violence, pimping, drug dealing, naked women, and the result is a paranoid movie that only fans of bad cinema will appreciate. Perfect for inviting friends over and having a do-it-yourself Mystery Science Theater 3000 party. The acting is terrible, so are the special effects. The funniest scene has to be the alien befriending the street gangs and convincing them to paint over their old graffiti with new "nice" graffiti!

Alien Warrior (or King of The Streets) is one of those 80s gems you stumble across by mistake, then watch awestruck, marveling at how wonderfully silly and over the top it gets.

A rather hunky alien arrives on earth (LA to be exact) and stumbles into a world of drug dealers, gangs, and corrupt cops. He falls in love with the flaxen haired, beautiful teacher who only wants to help inner-city kids read more. He also manages to anger a coke-snorting drug kingpin who vows to destroy him.

I fell in love with this film at first viewing... sure it's hokey, silly and low-budget. But you can tell the filmmakers had their heart in the right place, and damn if the thing doesn't work! I only pray it'll be on DVD soon.

It's got a hot soundtrack, break-dancing, violence, nudity.... all with a positive, wholesome message! See it.

I was in this movie back in the 80's as a teenager. It still haunts me today 25 years later. I was one of those black pimps the alien saved! Yes, it is true! Today, my life is full of alien thoughts of going back to the dark alley streets and saving the prostitutes and change the world one pimp at a time! Yes, I was......

What a load of crap! Just like this movie: crap! I did see it in the 80's and remember it somewhat. Not long ago I thought about the worst movies I've seen and this has to be at the top. If you want to laugh, cry, and celebrate all during a movie, don't see this. Watch The Last Airbender. No, avoid that one too!

imagine if you took the Christ myth, mixed it with a healthy dose of porn, against a backdrop of bad sci-fi blackxploitation(brotha from another planet like) throw in a dash of after school special, and lots of really bad kung fu fighting. oh and some decent break dancing. with an awesome casio keyboard soundtrack.

and some how they make this even worse than you could imagine. there are at least 4 rape scenes, at least one great car explosion, a buff black guy running around in his undies with an Uzi.

add alcohol and this is the perfect movie.

i mean lots and lots and lots of alcohol

Hargh... this film is so bad it's almost good. Trash at its best. Jesus' bro vs. pimps...come on. I'd say that you'd actually have to see this, it's so bad... my sides hurt when I laughed. I can't understand why this isn't in the worst 100.
