What happens

Kamillions is a 1990 film directed by Mikel B. Anderson from a story by Robert Hsi and a screenplay Anderson wrote in collaboration with Harry S. Robins. The film was re-edited by producer Teresa Woo, who later admitted she did not really understand an English language science fiction comedy, and was expecting more of an action film. The film was shot primarily in the Dunsmuir House and Gardens in Oakland, California. In the film, a mad scientist creates a portal to another dimension and accidentally transports two other-dimensional shapeshifters to Earth. Both aliens assume human form, but they demonstrate different personality traits. The female is friendly and amorous, and proceeds to find herself a boyfriend. The male is a trickster with sadistic tendencies, hurting people for his own amusement. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
