Also known as Gremloids.

Isn't very clever and certainly not a riot of laughter, but have a funny premise (a Darth Vader-esque looking for the rebel leaders in Shelby, North Carolina) and some moments.

That guy as the protagonist and Paula Poundstone as the mistaken 'princess' are so miscast here.

The best is Chris Elliott taking the preposterous script and getting the best of his scenes as an 'alien expert', all snark in front of the camera.

Super cool, super funny and super uh...? Well anyway, really good spoof movie. The whole story is like taken from Star Wars IV only that it´s all wrong....Lord Buckethead is very cool. The little aliens are really funny. Special effects were surprisingly good. One of the coolest scenes ever made must be when the little aliens chase the good guys in a supermarket with flying food carts !!! Yeah I know, pretty wacky. All actors are kinda unknown except for Chris Elliot that we have seen in movies like "There´s something about mary".

I just love this one...I give it a good 9 out of 10 !!

This was bought for 50p, and that is about as much as it is worth. The VHS cassette still bore "Rent this for £1 a night" The most amusing part of this film is that the head bad-guy is called Lord Bucket Head: laugh at that, that's as good as it gets.

Nice idea, but if you're on a cheap budget & you're trying, you end up with a bag o'sh1te. It wasn't painful, but somewhat pointless...

Anyhow, look at the cover & it looks a bit like Star Wars. Imagine that Lord Vader was a buffoon & he ended up trawling Earth for 'stolen droids' & secret Death Star plans. What would happen if this tall, helmeted bad-dude went into a do-nut shop demanding to know where the rebel forces where holed-up?

Jawas, 'death-rays' etc...

Please note that we only spent 50p on this, I would advise against spending any more L

P.S. I recommend Bride of the Monster

Lord Buckethead (yes, he really does have a bucket on his head) goes on a rampage in small-town America as he and his handful of little helpers are on the lookout for "the princess and the secret transmissions". But apparently they've landed on the wrong planet ! What follows is a rare and surprisingly funny spoof on the "Star Wars"-trilogy. Buckethead, the Darth Vader of this story looks like something out of a Monty Python-picture as he roams the countryside. It's not always on target but when it is, the humour is so innovative, crazy and refreshing that with the low budget in mind one can't help feeling very impressed over Todd Durham's piece of work.

Some films become part of your life, they provide a vocabulary, inform your life, prevent you from going into business. This is one of the greats. It doesn't have to be defended, No excuses need to be offered. This is a superlative film.

The father of those kids is one of the greatest fathers. He's an every man. Someone we can all relate to.

The pest control hero who wants to get into management. That is a hero indeed, reluctant, but eventually pulls his weight.

The girl at the garage. She is lovely, a little hoarse, but quick-witted and spirited.

The UFO expert is enthused and informed. He is up against it with the local radio audience, but he has right on his side.

The couple that runs the bakery. They don't panic easily. I could taste one of those fritters now.

The car chase. One of the ten best in films.

The villain. Another great. Much better than john Travolta in the Punisher.

The funeral for the cow is a touching surprise in an all-action film.

The evocation of the simple pleasures of country life such as night fishing will always be with me.

The reference to King Lear as a man who takes crazy risks.
