I believe he's a Mantat rather than a Harkonen. His eyebrows imply that he's good at math and will be milking a cat in a few hours.

Caller: Is this The Southern Cross? Patrick: NO THIS IS PATRICK!

Brown betty bam-a-lam!

Earwolf Police - a terrible Cheap Trick song from one of the many times when they tried to revamp their career. Give it a rest, guys!

I have a theory as to why there were virtually no extras in this film, and it ties in with the confusing time period of the film: The Cuban Missile Crisis took place in 1962, early in the run of the original show. Imagine a world in which the events that October turned out differently and the U.S. and U.S.S.R engaged in nuclear war, using long-rumored neutron bombs which could kill millions but leave buildings in tact. So, the few who remain who aren't gravely ill with radiation poisoning begin to rebuild things precisely as they remember them. A generation later, the population is still very small (no extras). Now it's the mid 1990's but some things look (and some people dress) exactly as they did in 1962. They're imitating what they remember from surviving film & TV, a connection to a time before those horrible events. In fact, Peel & Steed are imitating the banter and sexual innuendo they saw on the original show, but it comes off cold and false because they're constantly reminded that everyone they once loved is now dead, and soon they will be as well. Basically, this:

Small correction: Patrick Macnee was the Invisible Voice, also the original Steed in the TV show, not Patrick McGoohan. It's an understandable mistake since their names sound similar and they both starred in spy-rleated 60's TV shows like Secret Agent Man and, my favorite, The Prisoner.

Whoah. I had no idea Tommy Middle-D quoted this on Twitter. I'd print & frame it if it wouldn't look kinda sad.

Also, the bad guy w/ Benz symbol around his neck like Eric B. and Rahkim. Much respect And at the end when they cut to the reverse angle to the harem girls in the back of the car, I'm fairly sure they're different actors for some reason.

I think it's odd how IMDB got Piper's photo mixed up with David Spade: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0684929/

As a guy, if you've ever gone in for a fertility test and come out with decent numbers, you really feel like bragging about it but at the same time you knew that would be weird and wrong. That's how I think this movie came to be- a B-movie producer spooged in a cup, got great results and then proceeded to tell everyone about it. "Dude, your high motility numbers are not the kind of thing you just bring up in casual conversation." And he leans back in his chair and said, "aw, fuck it. I'll make a movie so millions (thousands) (dozens) of people will see it and have to hear about my fantastic sperm count!"

I love how they never mentioned that every archetype in the Village People were based on male stripper tropes. That's why all the women treat them as sex objects and they they have tear-away clothes.

When I watched it, I thought of LuLu as the mother of Hats (Teen Witch). Her behavior makes more sense. Still, it doesn't explain the collection of bows haphazardly pressed into dress form that she wore during the final performance.

The construction worker was last seen playing air guitar with this Bay area band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LatorN4P9aA What I love so much about this video is that if you didn't know that this is the actual band it would be reasonable to assume that it's just a bunch of dads who really, really like this song. Pump your fists guys! Bunch in together more! MORE!

June allowing BB-8 into her home sounds like the classic "ironic mistake of trust" plot line of some of my favorite made-for-tv flicks. With her guard lowered, she'll won't notice the odd e-havior (see what I did there?) until it's too late: BB-8 popping out at her from a high shelf, brandishing a knife, and trying to seduce Paul hand-that-rocks-the-cradle style. In ten years this will be a Lifetime Original Movie - "Broken Lives: I Know It's Mission."

(oops)

"Leathermen don't get nervous! Leathermen don't get nervous! Leathermen don't get nervous!" That's a paradox, I think, because he's a leatherman and he's clearly nervous.

"One more time!" "No! No more times! I cannot milk shake any longer! And stop pointing at me, movie lady!!" --- Traffic Mgr: "Hello, this is WNBC in New York. You sent us a 1" broadcast dub of your Milk Council commercial." Steve G: "Yes, I think it's terrific! Isn't it just the best?" Traffic Mgr: "It's four and a half minutes long. How in the hell am I supposed to find space for a four minute commercial inside a two minute ad break?" Steve G: "Wow. I hadn't thought of that. Honestly, we just let the cameras roll and the guys just went nuts." Traffic Mgr: "Do you have the budget to expand it to a half hour and run it as an infomercial?" Steve G: "We blew our budget on silver lame short-shorts. Sorry."

"Anybody who can swallow two snowballs and a dingdong shouldn't have any trouble with pride." This is a line that an actor said in this movie.

The sign clearly says "no rollerskating." That really took me out of the movie. The whole time I'm thinking "these people are scofflaws." I like the underlying message of the movie: fuck dentists. I also like the Grease poster on Guttenberg's wall his room is an Allan Car museum.

... not the movie The Hindenburg but the actual disaster.

Knowing that the movie was directed by 70's sit-com actor Nancy Walker style of the intro sequence makes more sense. The song is like a TV theme song, and the split screen, the random parade and all of Gutenburg's "Oh, yeah! I love this fucking transistor radio!" gestures fit perfectly. I expected it to go to an ad for Brill Cream when it finished. "Let me pause and boogie for a little bit while these garbage men do their thing. Yeah! Look at my fucking radio!" Also, Paul Sand! Paul Sand is the pre-Reagan era Jeff Goldblum. He's so Goldblum, even Goldblum is like 'um... yeah, well, you see... um, turn down your Goldblum just a little."

In National Lampoon, Christie Brinkley was dead the whole time. Watch it again. It's unmistakable.

Does anybody else imagine Danielle shaking maracas in the show logo?

"hmmm, does Billy 'like me' like me? Has our father been murdered?" "I dunno, sis. Let's ...[rattle rattle] consult the bones!" From the makers of the Magic 8-Ball - it's Consult the Bones by Parker Brothers, America's number one maker of board-games-slash-juvenile-dark-magic. "Does sleeping with my butt in the air cause the Cat in the Hat to sneak into our home at night?" "Great question! Let's scatter a collection of our biological mother's bones and interpret them to divine secrets from the past, present and fuuuuuture!" Got a burning question? Need a clue to solve that big case? Consult the bones! -Available at most major retailers.
