Storyline

An alien is on the run in America. To get his kicks, it kills anything that gets in its way, and uses the body as a new hiding place. This alien has a goal in life; power. Hotly pursued by another alien (who's borrowed the body of a dead FBI agent), lots of innocent people die in the chase. Written by Rob Hartill

Trivia

When we first see the police squad-room we hear a radio call go out to police car '1L19'. This was also the callsign of the LAPD car hijacked by Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in The Terminator. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: The M72 LAW rocket used by Clarence Felder's character would not have exploded so soon after leaving the launch tube. By design, the LAW rocket must travel 10 meters before arming itself. If it strikes a target closer than 10 meters, it will not detonate. See more »
