    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      (at around 13 mins) Many people say Thelma & Louise (1991) has the first selfie in movie history. But right before Tuck Pendleton is shrunk and put in the syringe, he grabs a Polaroid camera and does a selfie with one of his coworkers. And even before that, Clark Griswold takes one in National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985).
    • Goofs
      (at around 55 mins) When Jack turns away from the mirror the picture in Tuck's pod should have turned with Jack's head, instead it stayed looking at Jack in the mirror.
    • Quotes

      Lt. Tuck Pendleton: I'm right here, INSIDE you INSIDE YOUR BODY!

      Jack Putter: [stands up] Oh God! Somebody help me! I'M POSSESSED!

    • Crazy credits
      The Special Effects credit at the end of the movie states "Mr Short's Interiors by Industrial Light and Magic".
    • Alternate versions
      The Blu-ray and Digital HD version of the film plasters Warner Bros. Pictures with the 2003 variant of the fanfare.

    Fantastic Voyage Too
    INNERSPACE (1987) *** Dennis Quaid, Martin Short, Meg Ryan, Kevin McCarthy. Fast-paced and frenzily funny action/comedy/sci-fi film with Quaid as a washed up military pilot who volunteers to be miniaturized in a scientific experiment a la "Fantastic Voyage" inside a bunny but is mistakenly injected into hyper hypochondriacal Short (in arguably his finest comic role) who provides the physical comedy with Ryan as Quaid's long-suffering journalist girlfriend. Nice performances and some truly eye-popping Oscar-winning visuals. Directed by Joe Dante
