I must now seek out and view Nukie. From the above link:
<< I rented this film because the cover looked funny. It has this picture of an alien with a huge head. That's funny. Watching the film is horrifying yet somehow beautiful. The acting is miserable, and for some reason none of the characters use contractions when they speak. Nukie is an alien who crashes his ship with his brother Meeko. They get separated, and Meeko gets taken to this place that's supposed to be NASA, which is evidently controlled by Commodore 64 computer consoles, where they inject him with unspecified fluids. Nukie ends up in Africa, and is chased by stock footage of giraffes. A lot of inexplicable things occur. You should probably view this film. Nothing this compellingly atrocious will ever be produced again. In fact, I urge you to purchase "Nukie" for your home video library, and view it daily. You won't enjoy yourself, but you won't be able to deny that your perception of life will undergo important changes. >>
