E.T.

Boy fails to explain Star Wars to space goblin, so they both get drunk. Then they refuse reasonable government demands to experiment on space goblin, thus preventing USA from becoming world leaders in space goblins and ending the cold War early. Selfish little so-and-sos.

Trivia

The spaceship seen in the climatic scene is a converted 1979 Vauxhall Viva.

The real ET has lived in Area 51 since the fifties and mainly earns a living now from his art.

The original script had ET training Eliot for a local karate championship but the storyline was abandoned after the many similarities to Rocky were noted.

In France ET means ‘and’ – the daft bastards.

The film is solely responsible for the incredible popularity of Dungeons and Dragons, pizza and cycling through the air

Bloopers

Despite being set and made in the early eighties, one of the government agents can clearly be seen using an iPhone 8.

Elliot rides a Kuwahara bike. This particular model does not fly.
