If you loved The Cabbage Soup, try The Gendarme and the Creatures from Outer Space

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What The Gendarme and the Creatures from Outer Space is

Here we have a film that perhaps only France could produce. A bumbling police inspector must protect the residents of St. Tropez from humanoid aliens with a taste for petroleum. The aliens are detectable by the garbage-can sound they make when touched. It's a French farce, and it knows it.
