ALIEN FROM L.A. 1988 (MGM)

Sexy Kathy Ireland gets the starring role in this film about a young woman searching for her missing father and finding a civilization under the earth.

Such is the premise for this bizarre yet very watchable film. Ireland talks in a squeaky voice and portrays the nerd very well, but the closing shot of her in a very skimpy bikini is something everyone would remember.

William Moses is the man who lives in the underground world who falls for Ireland, and the rest of the cast does a good job with their roles as well. The movie was not very successful upon first release, but has attained a small cult following due to Ireland and director Albert Pyun.

MGM put this out as part of their excellent Midnight Movie line, and if you can find it you might want to give it a look. This is kind of a cross between "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" and "Blade Runner".
