Trivia:
The plot for the Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi/action film Predator (1987) also features the same idea of an alien from outer space that hunts humans. The same actor who plays the alien in "Without Warning", Kevin Peter Hall, also plays the Predator. moreQuotes:
Joe Taylor: [Talking to Sandy] It's up to you now. When I get that alien to the shack, you push the plunger.Joe Taylor: [Taylor runs towards the shack; yelling] Alieeeeen, alien, alien, come on.
Joe Taylor: [Taylor reached the shack and sits down against the shack; yelling] Come on Sandy, You've gotta push the plunger.
Joe Taylor: [Sandy pushes the plunger, but the wire is not properly configured] The wire, Sandy, push it.
[Sandy puts the wire on the plunger whilst Taylor falls over against the alien, then Sandy pushes the plunger and then the Shack blows up]

An alien has landed and it's killing innocent humans! Why, you ask? If you're looking for a feasible explanation like harvesting humans for food or cleaning off this planet for future alien use, forget it. Here the bad guy is just looking for a fun time hunting humans to add to his burgeoning trophy collection. Aiding in his sport are hairy, fanged little parasitic suction-cup Frisbees he flings at victims that drink their blood. The fun and gooey make-up FX are by Greg Cannon.
If the campy, silly plot isn't enough to get you tuned in, keep in mind it costars Jack Palance as a grizzled gas station owner, Cameron Mitchell as a sadistic hunter and an out-of-control Martin Landau as a ranting, raving, insane Vietnam vet! David (NYPD BLUE) Caruso also puts in an early appearance and the alien is played by giant Kevin Peter Hall, who went on the play the monster in the PREDATOR films.
Fun flick!
