Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe YouTube channel, RedLetterMedia, owned (at least) 104 VHS copies of the film, before finally destroying all but one in a wood chipper in a 2022 video. This was in an attempt to see if it would raise the worth of their remaining sealed copy that they had professionally graded. They later put the graded Nukie VHS up for auction where the proceeds would go to two charities (St. Jude and Wisconsin Humane Society). By the auction's end, in early January 2023, the final bid was $80,600.
- GoofsNukie is shown to be able to turn into a ball of light and fly around at will. If he is so desperate to find his brother, why does he walk around constantly rather than simply flying to him? This is compounded by the fact that Miko, who has the exact same ability, never uses it to escape his captors at the Space Foundation.

Nukie looks like ET...if he were made of poo
Firstly, Nukie looks like ET if he were made of poo. Plus, on the back of the VHS box is a picture of a Tiger. Nowhere in the entire movie is a tiger. I felt cheated! Honestly, I was caught off guard by how AWFUL this movie is. I'm also caught off guard as to how many reviews IMDb has for for NUKIE.
In regards to movies, I'll watch ANYTHING. I'm actually fond of little know releases. I found Nukie for $1.75 NEW in a Mexican grocery store. How on earth was this movie made? I'm pretty sure it will never be released on DVD. The budget wasn't big but you can tell some money was spent. I'm sure they expected this to be a hit at the theater ( they even trademarked the name Nukie! ). Also, why didn't this movie make the "worst of" lists? It's WORSE than Soultaker and Troll 2. Why was this movie even made? Who funded this? Why!?!?
