ComedyScience Fiction

The bungling inspector Cruchot finds himself trying to save the residents of St. Tropez from some oil-drinking humanoid aliens. The only way to tell the aliens from the real people, besides their constant thirst for oil-products, is that they sound like empty garbage cans when you touch them. Chaos is ahead.

VIBE

This film is a delightful, zany blend of slapstick and sci-fi spoof. Expect a lighthearted, farcical romp filled with visual gags and charmingly absurd alien encounters. It's a campy, propulsive ride perfect for those seeking pure, unadulterated comedic chaos with a retro French flair.
