Back to Wormhole Xtreme! ... The SCI-FI Forum Discussions

I'm trying to track down a movie/television show. I thought it was Alien Nation, but we just watched that, and it definitely wasn't the movie in my head.

The facts I'm am sure about are:
2 people have a scuffle of some sort in an alley and come across a box of sunglasses

These sunglasses change signs etc into subliminal messages

The 2 (or more) people try to stop whatever the takeover of Earth is??

Unsure about:
Whether the sunglasses facilitate the change or just expose it

Whether the "change" still appears human or whether there are aliens openly living in the community such as in Alien Nation

Whether the people trying to save Earth are cops or some other career.

Lastly, I have no idea who the actors are - or even a general description.

Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sunglasses and aliens was enough. Stars the wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper.

But then again--when you see that it stars Roddy Piper--just how serious could it be??> LOL
