So I guess in 1978 right after STAR WARS came out in Japan they threw together a TV rip-off show called STAR WOLF. What you get here in FUGITIVE ALIEN is a direct to video thing which came out 9 years later and was edited together from that series. This was done by Sandy Frank who was also responsible for bringing all those crappy dubbed versions of the GAMERA movies to VHS back in the 80's. At least in those you get a giant flying fire-breathing turtle. I'm sure he woulda made this one a lot better but he never shows up and instead we're stuck with a few boring laser gun fights and some really badly dressed aliens who wear red wigs for some reason and some other aliens that wear helmets that look like watermelons. I watched this on Mystery Science Theater 3000 otherwise I'm pretty sure it would be really tough to get through.
There's a sequel titled STAR FORCE: FUGITIVE ALIEN 2 which I'm sure is equally awful.
