[edit] Plot synopsis

(from IMDB)

Two garbage men (Thomas F. Wilson and Karim Prince) are picked up by aliens to be experimented on. Only to eventually escape (taking a sophisticated fire extinguisher with them, which for some reason, seriously pissed off the aliens) and they become the lead in stopping the ultimate alien invasion which is secretly being planned by a weak Strangemeister (Wigald Boning spoofing Dr. Strangelove).

[edit] Cameos

The titular character, Mrs. Doubtfire makes a brief appearance for a few minutes in the movie, leading a girl scouts group into fighting aliens.

Over a dozen monsters from the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers series make a very brief appearance in a musical scene with Strangemeister.

[edit] Trivia

Spoofing the final scene in Alien, Karim Prince's character ends up strapping himself into a chair while "fighting" the main alien, Galaxon in deep space. On a chair's arm, there is a sign saying "Please press this if your name is Ripley." Prince presses the button, and Galaxon is blown out of the airlock in the same fashion.
