Alien from LA (1988)

Join Vincent and Tangella as they watch “Alien from LA” from 1988 with Kathy Ireland and William R. Moses.
In the 1988 science fiction film "Alien from L.A.," Kathy Ireland plays Wanda Saknussemm, a young woman from Los Angeles whose life takes a fantastical turn following the news of her archaeologist father's disappearance. Wanda embarks on a journey to find him, leading her to the underground civilization of Atlantis, where adventure and danger await. Mistaken for a spy in a world where surface dwellers are considered aliens, Wanda navigates a treacherous path filled with mysterious government agents and ruthless criminals. With the help of Gus, a miner, and Charmin', a charming rogue, she strives to clear her name and rescue her father, uncovering the secrets of Atlantis along the way. "Alien from L.A." offers a unique blend of science fiction and adventure, loosely inspired by Jules Verne's classic tales, with a touch of whimsy reminiscent of "The Wizard of Oz."

I liked how they spent so much time establishing she needs her glasses and then the glasses get broken and she doesn't need them anymore.

[@universalassociates6857]

My understanding is when she was in the lodging place she put her face in a health & beauty machine that improved her eyesight.

Oh, my... Kathy's voice in this film sounds like a Japanese anime character's voice.

[@frednugent2310]

Much respect to Kathy Ireland. I Googled her and see she's still married to her husband Greg Olsen since 1988, which is a doctor. They had 3 children together and are still happily married. What an outstanding life they've obviously had together and I hope they are happily married until they pass.

Last night, Mr Livingston made some deep fried mozzarella balls swimming in a rich cheddar sauce smothered in grated parmesan. It was still less cheesy than the awfully dubbed dialogue in this movie.

This is a Cannon Group film, released in 1988, directed by Albert Pyun. Cannon was on its last legs as a studio- they had released tons of B-movies in the 80s like Masters of the Universe, Texas Chainsaw Massacre II, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, The Delta Force, Breakin', and many more. But by this point, they had almost no money. You've got the origin story of this movie a bit wrong, though. Cannon had made the Journey to the Center of the Earth movie in 1986 and made it a Christmas movie, but shelved it after they hated the rough cut. Over a year later, they approached Albert Pyun, who wanted to make his own Journey-based movie. They agreed to finance Alien from L.A. for $1 million if he filmed new scenes and re-edited their old unreleased film. That way they could cut out the Christmas stuff, add new scenes with Kathy Ireland, and connect the two films' plots. Thus, a movie mostly filmed in 1986 came out in 1989 as a sequel to a film released in 1988. Anyway, thanks for the upload! This is one of the few Cannon Group films not available on streaming options in the U.S. The picture quality is fantastic. Is this sourced from the Vinegar Syndrome blu-ray, by chance?

[@djam7484]

if it was not for this channel i would not of found out about these quality films...seriously the shit they pump out these days is mostly crap compered to the 80s and 90s. even creap films back then where worth a watch.

[@ghosthammer7774]

Not sure how to connect you but would you consider the original punisher movie with Dolph Lundgren?

[@tinymetaltrees]

"Edgy" future children not grokking this style. They're behaving that way on purpose. It's called "acting" when people pretend to be imaginary characters in fiction. Nobody is trying to fool you into thinking this is "realistic" by making all the people mean and all the objects dirty. Back in the 80's everybody understood that it was all made up for fun...not "realism", even kids.

[@tinymetaltrees]

Yup. This is like one of those comics from Cracked or MAD Magazine made into a live-action movie.

[@chance7ify]

I enjoyed the movie. It's concept and dialog were products of the 80's a time in my life where living was fun. Dick Clark even said that was one of our greatest decades. Technology was creeping in on us but just enough to make the silly and curious side of our minds at the time enjoy where we felt things headed. Now we look back and remember the joy and carefree times of our lives. Keep these crazy 80's coming.

[@thomascollins4325]

This was a cute movie. Not meant to be taken seriously.

[@moldvox]

Don't know why everyone is annoyed, it's actually bold what she's doing. The director went with it too. He was going for Gilliamesque and wound up with Mario Brosesque instead.

[@iKne]

I am sure this is one of those movies I would have rented on VHS back in the day, just because it had a hot cover. And we would have suffered through it just in case there was some skin.

[@troystiles1033]

Agreed , something I'd watch on the tube at 3am while tripping on LSD

[@frednugent2310]

Me too. Seems like as long as there was a sexy girl on the box cover was good enough to watch.

Oh my God what a horrible movie. But the sets were really cool and it was fun anyway. I was a teenager of the eighties and I certify this with official eighties approval.

[@RussellBSmiley111]

That is Kathy Ireland's real voice, if you listen to interviews and talk shows she had a very high squeaky voice, as someone else in a reply said she got voice training to learn how to speak lower and with a stronger Timber I am sure now all these decades later it is just second nature and her natural voice it does sound much better it was hard to take her seriously unfortunately being born with that high squeaky Minnie Mouse voice. Not her fault she did something about it.

Yikes, they should have let Kathy Ireland sound like herself, not a toddler/mouse.🐀 This was one of those movies where you wish you could get the time back, even mostly on fast forward. It started badly - with her Minnie mouse voice -, and went downhill from there. 1/10 🎬☣
