The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid (1979)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

People are voting emotionally.

Absolutely brilliant

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

beautiful film. As to the usual one, the usual negative comments which talk about a classical film some years 80 which everyone does not like it to the nostalgic ones are met.Sure Heros that this film had to have a judgment in this site. In fact reviewers' good part has put a high vote to the previous episodes. Because this contrast? I know the reason. Since assumptive reviewers' good part favorably sees the past and as the past is "better" than the present they have given several credit to the preceding episodes being still the last episode more explosive and spectacular. At this point should reject also the old episodes but there are here two weights and two measure.In fact also cinema masterpieces have been criticized and denigrated. Good part some reviewers of this site belong to the very bad reviewers. Better think separately with its head.

OK, everybody knows more or less what are all the movies of Bud Spencer about, so i'll not try to sell it as a masterpiece. But i still remember it as one of the favorite movies of my childhood. The story is the usual "E.T. meets all kind of humans, some of them very friendly, and others not so friendly", but made in the usual Bud Spencer style. Bud Spencer is the sheriff of a little town in USA, and has to fight with all the bad guys, army, etcetcetc. Funny as hell, the little "remote control" used by the kid was one of the most wanted toys of our times. I saw it recently, and... i still watch it with a smile, despite knowing that is far from being a good movie and also that it aged quite badly.

That movie is the first one that I can remember seeing at the theater. I must have been a five y-o or something then, and the other day when I watched it on DVD, I could reminisce all those souvenirs that film brought me. Relive the innocent moments of the child's magic remote control, those fights between the sheriff and the marines, all those comedic punches and slaps in the faces...The movie is also quite heart warming as well. I mean here, Bud Spencer is not only a fighter, he's someone who decides to take care of a stranded alien kid on earth. It is mainly a friendship story between an adult and a child that is sure to delight people of my generation.

My hometown of Monroe, Georgia (USA) was the site of at least some of the filming of "The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid". I have never actually seen the film, but I participated in a scene where there was a parade down the main street of my town. I was basically a bystander on the sidewalk who was waving as the parade went by. I have always wanted to see the movie to not only see what the movie was all about, but to also see myself in my one and only film debut. I would appreciate any leads in how I may go about getting a copy of the film.
