Trivia:

There is a scene in which Sakura breaks the thong on one of her geta (wooden clogs). This act is considered unlucky in Japan. Her uncle Cherry then shows up and more unlucky events occur. A black cat darts out in front of them, and a hearse drives by. The Japanese also believe that if a hearse drives past them, and if they don't hide their thumbs, an early death will befall their parents.

Goofs:

Miscellaneous: During the closing credits, Kôichi Kitamura is listed as being the voice of Upa (Rupa's great-grandfather). This is incorrect, Upa's voice was in fact performed by Kenichi Ogata, who also provided the voice for Ataru's father. Kitamura's actual role was that of Lum's great-grandfather.

Quotes:

Ataru: I WILL NEVER FORGET! You... Lum.

One of the best of all the movies

Lum gets kidnapped again, this time by an alien from the Dark Planet, who claims her as his bride. Ataru and friends must travel to the Dark Planet to save her, but all sorts of chaos occurs when some misunderstandings between them take place. Lum and Ataru are angry at each other, and Ataru must try to grab her horns all over again to save the Earth and win her back.

I loved this movie. Just as much, perhaps even more than Beautiful Dreamer. It actually brought tears to my eyes at the end. If you're a fan of the Urusei Yatsura movies, then you should definitely see this one. It's not confusing either. Some of the other movies, I had to watch them more than once to figure them out. But this one is easy to understand. Check it out.
