Review of Spaced Invaders (1990) by Larry J J — 10 Dec 2009

I usually agree with the aggregate tomatometer level. NOT this time. Good grief...what were these people doing while watching the movie, sucking lemons?

This flick is brim full of hilarious bits; characters, dialogue, visuals. Sit in a deep comfortable seat; it's the only way to keep off of the floor.

Didn't anyone notice...or find funny, that the pilot sounded just like Jack Nicholson, or one of the other martians just like Cary Grant?

Here's just one bit of dialogue that puts me on the floor (bit of a spoiler here). The martians have returned to their ship and are trying to repair it so they can go home.

The entire town of Big Bean, Illinois is outside with rifles, shotguns, and pick up trucks.

Lt. Gigiwig (the one who sounds like Cary Grant), has obviously had ENOUGH, after being chased by these hicks over the countryside all night:

Gigiwig: Let me sum up the entire situation in a nutshell: there are FIVE of us, and four BILLION of them. They have Strategic Air Commands, nuclear missile submarines, and JOHN WAYNE. We have this. (holds up a little pump action gun).

Captain Bipto: Is it loaded? (points the gun at Bipto).

Giggywig: Let's find out!

Yeah, it's taken a bit out of context, but it's still side splitting.

Really folks, give it a try.
