| Plot: | The story begins in 1957 in the star-filled skies above California's Mojave Desert. It is a special night for noted astronomer Ted Lewis, who is preparing a special dinner for his beautiful, adoring wife Lana to celebrate their wedding anniversary. In another part of town, Tammy, a waitress at small local diner with big plans for the future, looks out her window and is excited to see a shooting star, which she takes as a good sign for her dreams. But, what Dr. Lewis and Tammy assume is a shooting star, is really an alien spaceship. The fiery ball hurtles toward earth and crash-lands on a butte in the desert. The only witnesses are teens Dick and Penny who are necking in a nearby lover's lane. A tall, metallic alien named Urp emerges from the craft unharmed, alarmed to discover that the monstrous Ghota, who was also on board, has escaped. The menacing one-eyed creature's unquenchable appetite could mean the end of civilization as we know it. Urp is the only one who knows how to stop the hideous extra-terrestrial, but to do so he has to take over the body of Dr. Lewis and enlist the aid of Tammy, the only human in town willing to believe and trust in his mission. The local police - including Chief Dawson and Officer Vern - are confirmed skeptics and offer little help. Together, Urp and Tammy must hunt down the Ghota and neutralize it before it consumes all the local inhabitants and uses the human fuel to multiply and conquer the world! |

DATE: Though the film is clearly set in 1957, a key sequence takes place in a movie theatre showing The Blob (1958), which was not released till Fall 1958. DATE: When Tammy, Dick and Penny are in the theater, we see surround sound speakers on the walls. DATE: Several shots of vehicles traveling on the highway show yellow center lines. Center lines were white in 1957. Yellow lines were mandated in 1971. Revealing mistakes: When Officer Barnes radios the Chief to let him know that there's been "a PDX, Vern's down" and asks "What should I do now, Chief?", the radio makes a noise like he's released the button, even though his thumb is still firmly pressing it. He continues to hold the button as he waits for an answer from the Chief, only releasing it to press it down again and repeat, "Chief?". Continuity: Urp (in the body of Dr. Lewis) is shot by an agent and runs away with a hole in his right shoulder, but later on his jacket is undamaged. Revealing mistakes: When Tammy ('Jenni Baird' (qv)) passes Ted Lewis / Urp ('Eric McCormack' (qv)) walking on the shoulder of the road while she is driving the pick-up truck you can see through the rear window that there is nobody where Ted should be. DATE: When Tammy and Ted are driving shortly after picking him up, modern style round and wrapped hay bales are visible in a field they. |
