Goofs:

Factual errors: When the tank fires on the Doomtrooper it creates no muzzle blast, which would have at least injured the entire unit in front of the tank. The explosion, when the tank round hits, is ridiculously small. A 75mm shell from a Panther (as the tank was supposed to be) would have killed or injured everyone in the street and collapsed some of the building.

Quotes:

Private Parker Lewis: I just can't win.

Funniest yet worst film ever

Well, if the title doesn't enlighten you as to the appalling nature of this film, allow me to try. SS Doomtrooper is a massive blue monster who is created by some evil Nazi scientists. Somehow. A normal guy goes into a curious looking chamber and comes out as SS DOOMTROOPER! As far-fetched as turning a normal man into a 18 foot blue monster with lightning coursing through his biceps sounds, what really takes the biscuit is the fact that he has somehow managed to generate armour and a ridiculously over-sized cannon.

The bit that confused me was that if the Nazis were capable of creating such a powerful weapon, they would have won the war anyway, without the need for a creature that can take a tank shell to the chest point blank and carry on moving.

Go and see it!
