| Nukie | comment |
Nukie is a 1987 South African children's movie directed by Sias Odendaal and Michael Pakleppa about the titular alien who, separated from his brother Miko, crash lands in Africa and has to enlist the aid of two twin brothers to rescue Miko from a U.S. government organization.Borrowing quite a bit from E.T., Nukie was an attempt from the South African film industry to target an international audience and... well, much like Space Mutiny, it wasn't well-received to say the very least. | |

Just Eat Gilligan | |
| Nukie / int_35543514 | comment |
Just Eat Gilligan: Since Nukie and Miko still have their abilities on Earth, including turning into shooting stars and flying, most of their troubles could've been prevented if they just did it and reunited in space. | |

Humans Are Bastards | |
| Nukie / int_3d4d3dc9 | comment |
Humans Are Bastards: Played with; although Dr. Glynn and Dr. Rhinestone have no qualms about performing medical experiments on Miko, at least a few other U.S. government officials strongly object. Not to mention Dr. Harvey, Sister Anne and the twins Tiko and Toki are on the side of good. | |

Show, Don't Tell: A pretty egregious case; a narrator explains most of what is going on whenever the film cuts back to the government headquarters and you very rarely see actual experiments happen. | |
