This one still puts me in stitches. A lousy movie; with a hokey script, and digs at all the other SF movies ever made going on in the background. Only 'Mars Attacks' came close, but they didnt have this jewel.
Consider the following line from the alien's perspective. An enraged human fighter pilot pursues his alien adversary right to the wreckage.
"Welcome to Earth" (**WHACK**)
Best 10 seconds on film ever done.
Hang
P.S... you guys missed Blazing Saddles?? LOL.. Mel Brooks stuck some outrageous commentary in there.. the "...badges?? We don't need no stinkin Badges" bit was there, but the capper was (and please forgive the language; it was a social commentary piece)
(black sheriff holds gun against own head and yells to advancing lynch mob) "Hold it right there.. any closer and the cupcake gets it!" As I recall, Slim Pickens sez "better hold up boys; he looks serious"
And; from the posse recruitment scene "..lemme see, umm; rape; murder, looting, robbery and rape." Recruiter: "You said rape twice" Recruit: "Yah. I LIKE rape."
Young Frankenstein... "Walk THIS way". And the horse.. every time somebody mentioned 'Frau Bluecher'. And... "Put the candle BACK"
Gawd.. I'm headed fer the video store now....
