Speaking as someone who loathed such witless films as DUMB AND DUMBERER, Chris Mathieson's film EVIL ALIEN CONQUERORS was never an obvious choice. But Mathieson's reputation as a writer of minor cult material (The BILL AND TEDs 1 & 2, MOM AND DAD SAVE THE WORLD) gave this, frequently slated, vehicle some curiosity value. Two gormlessly arrogant aliens, 'Du-ug' and 'My-ik' from the planet Kabijj arrive on Earth with a mission to behead the population within 48 hours. Unfortunately the deadly swords they've brought meant for the job are reduced to the size of cocktail sticks on arrival. While they think up alternate plans to enslave humanity, they become temporary lodgers with slacker Kenny. Now awaiting in terror the arrival of their alien enforcer Croker they are strangely drawn by the discovery of two odd mono-browed women at the laundrette, and the attractions of hairy feet..CONQUERORS demands a particular sense of humour to enjoy it thoroughly which undoubtedly splits audiences down the middle (my girlfriend for instance told me never to play it in her presence again) but I found it continuously amusing, with few flat moments. Despite the ramshackle nature of it all, there's a lot here that's just naive and plumb-weird enough to stay in the mind. This while it comes nowhere near the grim, unfunny commercialism of a DUMB AND DUMBERER. The difference is that the off the wall naivity of CONQUERORS is a saving grace, not a lumbering handicap. Mathieson clearly wrote out what *he* thought was ludicrous on a micro budget. The cast play the result through straight, with never a distracting wink-wink made to an waiting audience, who at first might expect some recognition of such a personal joke. Du-Ug's continuous threats of "you will die in agony!!" to all who annoy him; the weird vocal play between the two aliens and their jump suit uniforms; the arrival of the much feared Croker, always shouting "I am the Mighty Croker!!" but unable to understand how feeble he really is, in the fast food restaurant ("we've got another one" says the bored til girl); the Lynchian mono-browed women, the balloon flying device, the My-ik's obsession with Smirnoff Ice; it all adds up to a package which is by no means terrible IMHO, if not side splitting, but quotably crackpot enough in a Saturday NIGHT LIVE sort of way to warrant seeking out as a real oddity.
2 somewhat inept Aliens invade earth with evil intentions. Almost as good as the 3 Stooges but there are only 2 of them.The plot is simple enough but the results are hilarious. We drink Crystal Geyser water and eat Sunchips whenever we watch our copy. I won't explain why but you will too!Great fun that will keep you laughing long after the movie is over. It may not be Oscar material but it certainly has my vote for a fun family rental. We almost fell out of our chairs laughing! Many of the silly comments throughout the movie stick in your head. It was like a Saturday night Live skit but better.It's not a problem kenny!
A low-budget film with great comedic acting and a wonderful story line. Comedy doesn't get much better than this. Don't watch this if you like the kind of blah humor found in such shows as "Friends" or "When Harry Met SAlly", but if you like smart, absurd, fun movies, this is right for you! I normally only write an IMDb review when I see a stupid movie and want my friends to see my comments on it, but in this case I genuinely feel a good movie went largely unnoticed. Was it even in theaters? Its great. "SUNCHIPS AND CRYSTALS GEYSERS!". The premise is aliens come to earth to kill everyone, but they have underestimated the task and soon fall for earth's charms anyways, such as Supertramp and SMirnoff Ice.
Anyone who doesn't think this movie is hilarious needs to go to the hospital and have the stick removed from their ass. You have to go into this movie not expecting anything spectacular. I watch this every time it comes on and have recommended to all of my friends. I immediately receive phone calls from them after they watch it and they are usually laughing so hard they can hardly talk. I have to say that my favorite character is Croaker. The way he thinks he's still a giant when he gets to earth is one of the funniest damn things I have ever seen in my life. All I have to say is two aliens that come to earth to behead the entire race and become addicted Smirnoff Ice and nudies is comic genius. "Only an asshole, Croaker!!!!"
