Turns out this was a complex drama about an intergalactic warrior who winds up on Earth lodging with a suburban family from where he then fights a succession of baddies. This one is a star vehicle for Hulk Hogan, who is sort of the missing link between Lou Ferrigno and Russ Abbott; he's a likeable enough presence but with the caveat that his acting makes Miles O'Keeffe appear like Laurence Olivier. In this one, he does more or less what you expect of him, to that end skateboards get thrown into outer space, thieves get put in wheelie bins and cats are launched into outer space (actually, I am noticing a theme here even as I type this). Anyway, quite amazingly, there are some actual funny moments in this one, although admittedly none of them involve Hulk Hogan. But you have to take what you can get when you watch a wrestler movie I suppose.
