The Cat from Outer Space (1978)


Buena Vista Distribution
Directed by Norman Tokar
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Walt Disney)

Alien cat ends up in a government research facility where he befriends scientist Ken Berry. The cat has a collar which allows him to speak telepathically and move objects. He convinces Berry to help him repair his spaceship in exchange for help on his theories. They need pure gold to make the repairs, so they use the cat's powers to win a pool game at local billiards parlor. Before the cat can leave, an industrial spy kidnaps some of the scientists friends and the cat has to help rescue them. Absurd Disney slapstick with terrible special effects: from the obvious wires to the fake cat in the airplane finale, you can't take your eyes away.
