    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      To make the Martian Girl costume as smooth as possible, it had no zipper or buttons. Lisa Marie had to be sewn into it every day.
    • Goofs
      The shape of the president's tie changes several times during his "can't we all just get along" speech. This is an in-joke reference to a similar continuity error with Jack Nicholson in Kunnian miehiä (1992).
    • Quotes

      Grandma Florence Norris: They blew up Congress! Ha ha ha ha!

    • Crazy credits
      A flying saucer buzzes around the opening Warner Brothers logo.
    • Alternate versions
      A television ad had Marsha Dale saying (over the desicion of what to do about the Martians): "Kick the crud out of them!" which was an edit to what she said in the theatrical version: "Kick the crap out of them!"

    Has aged well
    Much derided at the time for it's shallowness and the way the stars seem to be having too good a time, this has aged better than the disaster movies that came out at the time. Especially now, with the way governments are failing us with the virus, a satire feels much more honest than any film showing people in a better light. Having said that, for a full blown satire, it is never quite funny or witty enough, and relies too much on stars undermining their own image.
