Short description

A pair of aliens arrive on Earth to prepare for invasion, but crash instead. With enormous cone-shaped heads, robotlike walks and an appetite for toilet paper, aliens Beldar and Prymatt don't exactly blend in with the population of Paramus, N.J. But for some reason, everyone believes them when they say they're from France.

What's left behind the scenes

The Coneheads (as they are originally known) were born on the TV show "Saturday Night Live" (1975). After the characters became established on the show, it was decided to make a full-length film.
Once, Dan Aykroyd brought his three-year-old daughter, Danielle, to the set to show her how movies are made, and she liked the Coneheads’ costumes so much that she asked for one of her own. As a result, she was cast as Connie so she could wear one too.
The French at United International Pictures strongly disliked the aliens pretending to be French and demanded all references to this nationality be removed from the dialogue. This request was not fulfilled.
