The Creature Wasn't Nice

The Creature Wasn't Nice (also known as Naked Space and Spaceship) is a 1983 American comedy film written and directed by Bruce Kimmel. A parody of Alien, it stars Leslie Nielsen in a role similar to those in the farcical comedies Airplane! and Naked Gun, alongside co-stars Cindy Williams, Gerrit Graham and Patrick Macnee. It was released on VHS in 1983 under the title Spaceship, to emphasize Nielsen's connection to Airplane!, and on DVD in 1999 under the title Naked Space, to play up the connection to Nielsen's Naked Gun films.

The film is a low-budget comedy with simple sets and dialogue wrapped around several musical numbers. In one of the scenes, the red slimy one-eyed alien monster performs a lounge-style musical number called "I Want to Eat Your Face." Williams performs two musical numbers, one solo and one with Kimmel, who in 1976 had appeared with and directed her in The First Nudie Musical. The film was completely re-edited by the producers, creating the version released as Spaceship and Naked Space on home video. The original cut, The Creature Wasn't Nice, was only seen at two public previews. In 2019, it was announced that both versions of the film would come to home video under its original title.
