    All about the sound effects? Whatever... it's all about the music, which sounds like something right out of an old Atari 2600 game like Space Invaders.


    Am I the only one that was sad when the chick got whacked at the end? Way to cover your group there people.

    Poor Christina Aguilera-lookalike! Why did YOU have to die out of all the expendable crew members? );


    And what is up with the marching band playing in the background?!

    @TheFinalCylon: The robots were pissed at her for copying their blonde pageboy hairstyle. Robots are very sensitive about that sort of thing.

    Check out orange jumpsuit dude at -0:50. Looks like he's got a first generation iPhone strapped to his wrist.


    I really would love to see the MST3K crew ca. 1991 take on this movie.

    @lightninglouie: When I found this movie I was terribly worried at first that MST3K had gotten there first.

    @Tomosexual: Did you actually know the bad guy's name was General Gonad, or did you come up with it on your own???

    After the first 30 seconds, I was like "Okay, this is cheesy, but not much goofier than a below-average Doctor Who episode from the Pertwee era." Then they broke out the imitation He-Man lightsabers and department store mannequins, and I realized just how wrong I was.

    Wow. This is made of 40% awsomeantium (the rest being Pure Cheese). I really like how the sound effects go so far beyond "pew pew pew".

    It's more of a "Pee'chi KniEowaAah sh'whow(g)rreuogh aowAaahh."

    Which in Cantonese means, "My sister-in-law's landlord is having a terrible row with a prawn in a green hat*". Makes the whole scene quite poignant, don't you think?


    *Utter fabrication, of course. Please feel free to supply the correct translation.
