    The high points

    The high points are the nude scenes and the clothing from the 1980's - which people dress up as pimps.

    That's it.

    There's only reasons to watch this are to ridicule a shoddy story with no real merit to it.

    Ahhh - the 1980's - where all sorts of horrible movies were made but will live on in time and space now with internet and cloud storage.

    Oh - it's got some half naked girl - which makes this movie simply amazing.

    This Movie was amazing, it was so bad.

    This movie has everything going for it: Horrible acting, the most worthless plot ever conceived (if there was one) and clothes even michael jackson or elton john wouldn't wear.

    Lemro is just horribly done that you can't tear your eyes from the screen. i strongly suggest everyone try to watch this, just so that you can base hollywood garbage on something even worse and actually be satisfied with what they're churning out nowadays.

    I Love the Power Glove - it's So Bad.

    A gang of thugs threaten a lady when a dude looking like a Michael Jackson impersonator complete with black fedora hat comes to her rescue. What does a hero do now? You start dancing, call up a random friend and gloat about the hot lady you've meet and then hit a club with her. When a bare bones aliens subplot emerges and the bad acting, action continues it quickly dawns on you 'Alien Private Eye' is bananas and not in a fun way.

    Lemro (Nicholas Hill) saves Suzy (Judith Burke) twice within the same day, the two become involved and he reveals he's an alien. It turns out a gang is trying to track down a powerful disc that is the key to a highly addictive otherworldly drug and Suzy has the second piece. Now Lemro the private eye is thrust into a battle of good vs evil versus this gang. Coming face to face with it's leader Killgore (Cliff Aduddell) who'll let no one stand in his way of power & wealth.

    I appreciate a good b-movie and sometimes a bad movie can be a barrel of laughs, but it's a fine line. Especially if friends or alcohol is not involved. 'Alien Private Eye' is the type of trip I don't enjoy, usually seek out. I cracked a smile once or twice at it's absurd elements - wait until the hero wields a laser gun mounted to his arm near the end - but I can't in good conscious recommend it.

    The cover was the best thing about this ordeal...

    I stumbled upon the 1989 action sci-fi movie "Alien Private Eye" in 2022. Had I ever heard about this movie? Nope, not even a single word. I liked the campy late-1980s feel from the movie's cover, so of course I opted to sit down and watch what Vik Rubenfeld had to offer with this movie.

    Needless to say that I wasn't really expecting a whole lot here, to be bluntly honest. But still, with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course it got a fair chance.

    I managed to get through half of the 95 minutes that the movie ran for, then I just had more than my share of lousy acting performances, incoherent storyline, cheesy 1980s outfits, big hair and horrible dialogue. This movie was every bit as bad and cheesy as I had expected, and then some.

    This is not a movie that I have any intention of returning to finish watching, because the storyline just entirely fell short of providing me with any sense of entertainment or enjoyment. And the sluggish and amateurish acting performances just did absolutely nothing to take away focus from the lack of a proper storyline or narrative.

    No familiar faces on the cast list, so not even there could the movie manage to score some much needed points.

    Sometimes you just wonder why no one ever puts a foot down and asks people to stop and have a look at what they are about to unleash upon the world. And "Alien Private Eye" was one such moment. This movie was really not worth the effort in any way.

    My rating of Vik Rubenfeld's 1989 movie "Alien Private Eye" lands on a very generous two out of ten stars.
    EyeAskance

    Complete and utter feculence which will assuredly crack you up.

    A pointy-eared alien working on Earth as a gumshoe becomes involved in a bloody street war over a mysterious extraterrestrial disc. To save the Earth and the Earth girl he loves, he must thwart the sinister plans of a cabalistic militia led by a sadistic psychopath, and junkies strung-out on a narcotic imported from another world.

    Imagine yourself walking barefoot down a road strewn with thumb-tacks, your mouth filled with bullet ants, and clothespins on your nipples. That's how I'd best describe the searing agony and algolagnic ecstasy of watching ALIEN PRIVATE EYE, a movie so exotically awful that you might opt for a "safe word" your first time seeing it. It's the perfect storm...the most unendurably bad actors in the history of stage and screen, editing presumably performed with a Slap-Chop gadget, clichéd film noir trappings, pitiable action scene choreography, and a leading man dressed like 80s-era EL DEBARGE. Seriously...you never had it so good.

    Only a massive stroke could inhibit a wide-grinned reaction to the unpremeditated hilarity of this steamrolling ne-plus-ultra...another fine product from RAE DON VIDEO.
