YMMV / Fugitive Alien

  • Angst? What Angst?/Wangst: Everyone veers wildly between these two moods, especially Ken and Captain Joe.
  • Awesome Music: The Star Wolf theme, AKA the Forklift Song.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: This movie was not the only work with a Star Wolf. Or an entire Proud Warrior Race of Super Soldiers with a name themed around wolves and space.
  • Ho Yay: When Dan gets captured by Seysarians, Billy is really besides himself and absolutely adamant about going back and rescuing him despite there being a ticking time bomb in the base they just managed to set. It gives off this vibe... the two are either the most loyal of friends or something more.
  • Macekre: These movies, along with other Sandy Frank productions riffed on by MST3K, are proof that the trope might as well have been named after him. This and a couple of other Sandy Frank "movies" were produced by re-editing episodes of Japanese TV series together, often losing all semblance of plot coherency in the process. The many Kens in this movie are a result of this.
  • Special Effects Failure: The dated special effects.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: Though the effects are very clearly produced on a TV budget, (and not a big TV budget, at that) and are quite dated otherwise, there's a few shots of Bacchus 3 that even Joel and the Bots note are actually quite impressive.
