Trivia

In the DVD edition edited in Spain in 2017, it was warned that the first scene in the military base did not include the Spanish Castilian dub and therefore was only shown in its original version with subtitles, since they had been unable to locate the entire dub. Despite the film, which premiered on television in 1996 in Spain, it was released in a complete cut and with dubbing. However, that distributor was widely criticized by consumers when some discovered that some films used dubbing from synchronized copies from the internet. Casually, for several years, a copy of this film had been circulating on the internet with the (same) first scene in Latin Spanish dubbing and the rest of the film in Castilian Spanish dubbing. Both versions, the Internet copy and the DVD, recovered the Castilian Spanish dubbing at the exact same scene. Many users say it can't be a coincidence.

User Reviews

Good comedy

Alf is a good comedy, but it is definitely WAY behind the series, maybe because of the lack of the original characters. They were WAY funnier and the series in general, too. The only funny character of this TV-movie is Alf and the only good part is the first 20 minutes.

I am a kinda fan of the series, but this one cannot stand up to it at any part of it.

All in all, I rated this movie 6/10. I recommend it to fans of the series.
