With the f ate of the world in his clumsy hands, Dix heads to the planet Vegan, a very strange place run by an evil doctor and inhabited by aliens who, having learned to speak English from wa tching television, all talk like different movie stars. After engaging in some freaky lun ar socializing, Dix joins forces with sexy officer Cassandra Menage (Ophélie Winter) and m aster of disguise Captain di Pasquale (Ezio Greggio) to rescue the saxophone-playing presi dent. They return to Washington, D.C., and accomplish their mission of replacing the clon ed president with the real president. Or do they?

This review is from: 2001 A Space Travesty (2001 Un Loco En El Espacio) [NTSC/REGION 4 DVD. Import-Latin America] (DVD)

The president has been cloned. It is up to Dick Dix (plural) to rescue him from an alien plot. Naturally his sidekick is a sexy blond (Ophélie Winter) and he encounters too many close encounters of the third kind.

In these days of diversity it is almost impossible to find a one star product. Well here it is. This poor film had no body to save it. The script has a superficial appearance but never follows through. The slapstick humor is not professional enough to get a giggle. Their timing is off and the mystery is not. This animal is not even in the same category as a spoof. If you see the first few minutes you have seen it all.

A note on the VHS edition. There is approximately 20 minutes of coming attractions that make you actually look forward to looking at this film. After five minutes of the film you will want to watch the coming attractions again instead.
