Coneheads -- One look and you know they're from a very strange place. They're from New Jersey, by way of 'France,' by way of far- off, far -out Remulak. They're Coneheads. And their comedy antics are heads above the crowd! Lampooning our Bluntheaded civilization as only a Conehead can.

In the comedic vain of Kingdom Come and Soul Food, Gas is a whole new grade of high octane comedy! When Damon returns to Los Angeles for his father's funeral, he finds that he has inherited the family business – a gas station and mini-market. However, he is only co-owner, as the business was also bequeathed to his brother Mookie, a former drug dealer who caused Damon to lose his chance at a college scholarship. If they don't run the business together for a year, they will forfeit their ownership. Can these brothers at odds learn to trust each other?

In Loose Cannons, Gene Hackman plays Mac, a Washington, DC, police detective teamed with a new partner, Ellis (Dan Aykroyd), to break open a case that involves the FBI, Nazis, Israelis, and pornographers. The plot involves the fight for the possession of a pornographic film starring Hitler and a prominent German politician.

The Coneheads were a sketch on the Saturday Night Live television show of the late '70s which were expanded to feature-length proportions with this film. The story concerns Beldar (Dan Aykroyd) and Prymaat (Jane Curtin), who leave the planet Remulak to prepare for an invasion of Planet Earth. But due to a malfunction, they find themselves plunged into the Hudson River and forced to take up residence in Paramus, New Jersey where Beldar gets work as an appliance salesman and makes a deal for a phony social security card. Before long, all thoughts of invading Earth are left behind as Beldar and Prymaat quickly adapt to suburban life — except for their coneheads and metallic-sounding voices, they become a typical middle-class suburban family. The Coneheads have a child, Connie (Michelle Burke) and Beldar becomes a New York cab driver and starts up his own driving school. Connie grows into a teenager and a neighborhood boy, Ronnie (Chris Farley), develops a crush on her because he likes to rub her conehead. But a nefarious INS agent, Gorman Seedling (Michael McKean), and his toady assistant, Turnbull (David Spade), are hot on The Coneheads' trail because of Beldar's false social security card. Not only that, but the Remulakian Highmaster (Dave Thomas) is beginning to wonder what ever happened to Beldar's invasion of the third rock from the sun.
