Please help me find this film


I remember watching this in 1985/1986. Could have been released earlier, but it felt like an 80's movie.

All I remember, was alien creatures transforming themselves into human beings by attacking them first. One scene was an alien attacking a policeman at his police car, and they fall to the ground, and next scene you see the alien being the policeman in his skin. That scene was at night time.

Been looking for it forever.
Thanks for any help.

It might be The Hidden. It has aliens taking over peoples bodies and policeman fighting them, but I’m not sure of that specific scene is in it.

No, it's not that. The Hidden released in 1987, I was watching it in 85/86.

Is it possibly Strange Invaders (1983)... ?

You're welcome. The entire film is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Km89bden8s
Not the best picture quality but viewable. I haven't watched the whole thing yet.

Maybe Lifeforce?

reply

Seen it. It's not that.

Critters (1986) has this scene.

They Live?

No

Although the film isn't specifically about alien creatures invading Earth, that sounds like a scene from The Last Starfighter.

reply

Not sure it's that, but will have a look. Thanks.

reply

PersistentViewer, it sounds like Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.

reply

I've seen that. Not it.

It's really bugging me. Just can't get the title. But I appreciate everyone's responses. I really do, so thank you.

You're welcome.

I know the year doesn't fit, but the scene from Terminator 2: Judgment Day fits as do other shapeshifter scenes in it.
