You can stream The Gendarme and the Creatures from Outer Space (1979) on France Channel Amazon Channel with a subscription.

The bungling inspector Cruchot finds himself trying to save the residents of St. Tropez from some oil-drinking humanoid aliens. The only way to tell the aliens from the real people, besides their constant thirst for oil-products, is that they sound like empty garbage cans when you touch them. Chaos is ahead.

Pure slapstick chaos erupts when oil-hungry extraterrestrials descend upon the sunny shores of Saint-Tropez. Expect frantic physical comedy and ridiculous sound effects as an inept inspector battles metallic invaders.
