Curiosidades

The Creature Wasn't Nice is a 1981 American comedy film written and directed by Bruce Kimmel. A parody of Alien, it stars Leslie Nielsen in a role similar to those in the farcical comedies Airplane! and Naked Gun, alongside co-stars Cindy Williams, Gerrit Graham and Patrick Macnee. It was released on VHS in 1984 under the title Spaceship, to emphasize Nielsen's connection to Airplane!, and on DVD in 1999 under the title Naked Space, to play up the connection to Nielsen's Naked Gun films.

Production

Bruce Kimmel came up with the idea for the film in 1979 and successfully pitched it to Cindy Williams, with whom he'd worked on The First Nudie Musical. Kimmel based the film on his love of 1950s B-movie sci-fi films such as Target Earth, Tobor the Great and The Angry Red Planet, as well as his distaste for the more extreme horror films that had risen in popularity, such as Friday the 13th and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, calling them "evil" and…

Al Schwartz of World Northal Corp (who'd released The First Nudie Musical) optioned the project as his first in-house production, previously having specialized in distributing European films such as Bread and Chocolate and Cousin Cousine. The film's special effects were handled by Magic Lantern Organization, which had also worked on History of the World, Part I and Flicks.
