!!''Alien from L.A.'' provides examples of:
* ActingForTwo: Several actors cover multiple roles, with one playing four different characters.
* CaliforniaDoubling: This was filmed in South Africa (which explains the accents - South African accents and Australian accents are similar), although as some scenes are set in Africa it's a part-aversion.
* YouLookFamiliar: The actor who played Loki in this movie also played the obnoxious Watney Smith in [[Literature/{{Gor}} Outlaw of Gor]].

!! The sequel ''Journey to the Center of the Earth'' provides examples of:
* DolledUpInstallment: From what Lemorande says, the film ''he'' made wasn't even a sequel to ''Alien from L.A.''
* ExecutiveMeddling: and how. See the quote from the (credited, but not actual) director.
* TroubledProduction: The movie was nearly finished but Creator/TheCannonGroup was hemorrhaging money and couldn't afford the special effect shots, of which there where many. Having to fulfill contractual commitments to foreign distributors who had already purchased the film, Cannon went to their usual to-go guy, Albert Pyun, and tasked him to basically finish the film using as much of the existing footage as possible. Also, the budget for the reshoots was a joke. How much of the footage was Pyun's and how much was Lemorande's is currently unknown, although Rusty claims only the first ''8 minutes'' were his.
