About the Film

Lem is just an average teenager working on getting the girl and furthering his career at the local planetarium – except that he’s an alien. At least to U.S. astronaut Captain Charles T. Baker who lands on Lem’s planet hoping for a quick flag plant and a hasty return to earth and his millions of screaming fans. But on this alien planet the media has tagged spacemen as brain-eating, zombie-creating monsters, causing Baker to run for his life and into Lem’s house. Now it’s up to the green native to get the clumsy astronaut back to his spaceship before military dictator General Grawl and mad scientist Professor Kipple manage to exterminate the Earthly visitor.

Trivia & Facts

- Even though much on the alien planet is round in design, nothing have wheels.

- The film was shot on location in Los Angeles.

- As astronaut Chuck Baker gets tangled up in a planet mobile in the planetarium, his air hose becomes dislodged and his oxygen becomes depleted. Upon realizing the planet has breathable air,
he removes his helmet, and the air hose is now reconnected to his suit. It is then again disconnected in the following shot.

- A lander only has enough fuel to take off once from the planet, not twice. We don’t see Chuck fuel the spaceship before taking off again.
