Suburban Commando

Suburban Commando centers on Shep Ramsey, an intergalactic warrior who strands his damaged spacecraft on Earth after a battle. While the ship recharges, he takes a room with the Wilcox family in a quiet suburban neighborhood and tries to keep his origins hidden. Unused to ordinary life, he keeps running into everyday rudeness, from reckless drivers to aggressive paperboys, and cannot stop himself from intervening. The family's timid architect father, Charlie, eventually discovers his lodger's true identity, while interplanetary pursuers close in.

The film is a science fiction comedy directed by Burt Kennedy, released in 1991. It is the seventh film he directed, following a run of Westerns that began with Mail Order Bride in 1964 and included Support Your Local Sheriff!, Hannie Caulder and The Train Robbers; this was a notable departure in genre for him. Frank A. Cappello wrote the screenplay, and Howard Gottfried produced. Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan plays Shep, with Christopher Lloyd as Charlie Wilcox, Shelley Duvall as Jenny Wilcox, and Larry Miller, William Ball and Jo Ann Dearing among the credited cast of twenty.

Made for about 11 million dollars, the film earned roughly 8 million worldwide. On IMDb it holds a critics' rating of 3.7 out of 10 from 13 reviews, while on TMDB it sits at 4.7 out of 10 from 209 votes, a modest audience score for an 88-minute family comedy.
