nukie . it a bad e. t. ripoff film in africa and with production ( and some footage ) handle in germany . it in english and so i be not sure where the targeted market be . nukie and his brother meeko be ugly little alien with big head and runny nose who fly through space use some sort of personal energy rather than ship . they be tempt by the beauty of the earth and fly too close and and crash . nukie land in africa and be relatively unharmed while meeko land in the united state and be immediately pick up by nasa . at least and i think it nasa . it logo appear in several place and but the stock footage building exterior be definitely not nasa . nor be it ever call ` nasa . it call the space foundation . and there be beer can in the break room . but since nasa be the only space agency in the u. s. and that what it have to be . scene after scene begin with an exterior shot of ` nasa . the voice over give the date and time ( sometimes the time do not synch with the amount of daylight show ) and and more often than not he follow with ` nothing unusual to report before tell u that meeko have escape or some such . if that not unusual and i do not know what be . while meeko suffers in america and nukie meet the quirky inhabitant of a small village in africa . he befriend twin boy name tookie and tiko and and a chimp name charlie . nukie and the boy search for ` america and which they think be the name of the evil doer who be hold meeko . they must avoid an american chopper pilot work for nasa ( watch out he a ` player ) and local poacher and and a pesky nun ( glynis john ) while they do so . it all end happily and of course and because this be a kids movie . nukie and meeko fly into space amidst stock footage of firework and and they bring along one of their new friend from earth . who be the friend . you will have to watch the movie to find out . the producer must have expect a big demand for nukie merchandise and because every time the word appear it have the little ` tm after it . ` nukie be trademark and for cry out loud while none may use his name without permission . i doubt the demand for merchandise materialize and otherwise we might be see nukie lunchboxes and action figure for sale in thrift store . people do not believe me when i tell them this and but i kind of like nukie . do you ever have a friend who be your friend just because you felt sorry for them . i like nukie because i feel sorry for it . i think it need a friend .
