Beck gets called to investigate the store Miller had just robbed and gets annoyed on noticing Gallagher at the scene. When he wasn’t satisfied with the mindless violence, he went ahead and stole cash and a revolver from the register and walked out of the store with a boombox.ĭetective Beck refuses to help Gallagher chase after Jonathan Miller as the only crime in his records are a couple of parking violations. When the employee at the shop tried to stop him, Jonathan beat him to a pulp. As the alien had an affinity for heavy metal music, he started off by shoplifting at a cassette store. If he wanted something, he would simply go and get it. Up until now, he was a law-abiding citizen with a couple of parking tickets, but after becoming the host for an alien parasite, he started committing impulsive crimes. Miller was scheduled for a triple bypass as his heart had completely deteriorated and he had other ailments. It was too late by the time Gallagher arrived at the scene as DeVries had collapsed and the alien parasite had transferred itself to another host. Despite being in a critical condition, he just woke up and walked out of the hospital. The other patient woke up while the doctor was trying to revive his pulse. He goes over to the bed of the other patients and the legs of a tarantula attached to a giant slug-like creature with a head similar to that of a snail and tails that resemble worms crawled out of DeVries’s mouth and entered the body of the other patient. He detaches the IV drip and other needles from his veins and crawls out of his bed. DeVries wakes up and notices another patient lying beside him. The criminal Gallagher had been sent down to arrest was DeVries, and he rushes to the hospital with urgency on learning about his condition.
FBI Special Agent Lloyd Gallagher informs the Lieutenant that he has been sent to investigate a suspect and Detective Thomas Beck has been assigned as his partner to help him with the investigation. He refused to spare Beck even when the Senator’s office specifically requested him to safeguard the senator after he received several death threats. Detective Beck was the best cop in LAPD, Lieutenant Masterson vouches for the fact that without Beck, his department would crumble and criminals would run rampant. Given the number of crimes he has committed just in a span of two weeks, Detective Beck thought DeVries deserves to die a painful death. The doctor believed it was a miracle he had managed to survive but was doubtful whether he would make it through the night. DeVries ends up in the hospital, tied up in tubes and stitches, barely alive. He was standing tall and smiling before the car was blown up into bits. The bullets of neither the policemen nor the security guard from the banks had seemed to have any effects on the culprit. The high-speed pursuit ends with the police cornering DeVries into a blockade, shooting multiple bullets into him and blowing up the stolen car. Meanwhile, Beck questions people about the suspect Jack DeVries and learns he has no criminal past and has lived a quiet life before he suddenly robbed a bank, killed all the security guards, and stole a bunch of Ferraris. He outruns the cops by shoving aside their cars and hitting the people on his way. The police vehicles chase after him as he continues to drive away without any regard for human life or public property. The Hidden (1987)Ī man in a trench coat robs a bank, shoots the security, and drives away in a black Ferrari blaring heavy metal music. We have an extraterrestrial antagonist that is enamored with Ferraris, heavy metal music, and everything LA has to offer, and who is making the most of it by causing havoc. The film is a light-hearted parody of the decade’s unbridled extravagance. The Jack Sholder film investigates how an alien’s vision of human life is influenced by where they arrive. Michael Nouri reportedly turned down the role of Detective Martin Riggs in Lethal Weapon in order to star in The Hidden, a science fiction action picture about an alien who takes control of ordinary people and uses them to do rash and audacious acts.
It did, however, feature a bizarre plot involving vehicle chases, gunfights, and an alien infection. The Hidden was not the biggest hit of the year, despite being released the same year as Lethal Weapon. Films portraying cops collaborating with their polar opposites to solve crimes have always been popular.
