A gang of thugs threaten a lady when a dude looking like a Michael Jackson impersonator complete with black fedora hat comes to her rescue. Chop socking guys one by one until head goon decide to stick his gun in the hero's face only to be disarmed. What does a hero do now? You start dancing in your apartment, call up a random friend and gloat about the hot lady you've meet and then go dancing again in a club. When another cheap action showdown follows, an bare bones aliens subplot emerges and the bad acting continues, it quickly dawns on you 'Alien Private Eye' is a piece of the absolute bottom of straight to video realm and not in a fun way.
Lemro (Nicholas Hill) saves Suzy (Judith Burke) twice within the same day, the two become involved and he reveals he's an alien. It turns out a gang is trying to track down a powerful disc that is the key to a highly addictive otherworldly drug and Suzy has the second piece. Now Lemro the private eye is thrust into a battle of good vs evil versus this gang. Until he comes face to face with it's leader Killgore (Cliff Aduddell) who'll let no one stand in his way of power & wealth.
I appreciate a good b-movie and sometimes a bad movie can be a barrel of laughs, but it's a fine line. Especially if friends or alcohol is not involved. 'Alien Private Eye' is a 80's flick that some poor bargain bin souls paid for literally that gets resuscitated in conversation because of a love for badness. This is the type of trip I don't enjoy or usually seek out. I cracked a smile once or twice at it's absurd elements - wait until the hero wields a laser gun mounted to his arm near the end - but I can't in good conscious recommend it.
