In the future of 1991, alien slaves are Newcomers to Earth. One of the filthy potato head slags kills Detective Syke's partner, he is then forced to partner with another slag, Sam Franscisco (Mandy Patinkin, who never really found his way into much later with the great "Dead Like Me"). Talk about adding insult to injury. But I digress, in order to solve their first case, the have to work together despite their differences. A typical buddy/cop film despite the slags. Thankfully the film chooses to sprinkle the social commentary on race relations lightly on and the film's more about being an action movie. ( Sadly the subsequent TV series choose the opposite tact much to it's detriment). While it's not a great film by any means, the acting is merely serviceable (James Caan being the only standout), the plot is VERY formulaic and clichéd. But it's an enjoyable enough time waster when in the right mode. Plus it's the most skin you'll likely see from Leslie Bevis (and no she's not nude in this just the side)
