Summary
Finally, a "Plan 9 from outer space" for our own generation. One simply cannot derive greater campy fun from this film, which has spawned a thousand drinking games! Here are some of my favorites:
***** LEVERAGED DOUBLE-WORD DRINKY-DRINK *****
Take a swig whenever someone says one of those silly hyphenated nouns (e.g. man-animal, crap-lousy), Double-swig whenever you hear the word "Leverage"
***** LOGIC-LAPSE QUAFF-FEST *****
Take a drink whenever confronted with a point in the plot that makes no sense whatsoever - e.g.
- that this group of savage men can learn to fly fighter jets in a day or two; well, OK, I can suspend disbelief for that, but...
- that the aforementioned jets can operate after 1000+ years of sitting idle
- the part where Johnny Goodboy (LOL) is running around without air for, say, 15 minutes
- that the Psychlos call themselves "Psychlos" but call these humans from Earth "man-animals"
- when the "man-animals" are sent to go mine gold, none of these super-smart Psychlos notice that they've apparently mined perfectly smelted gold bars
- when Johnny goes into the library, he peruses 1000+ year old books with fully intact covers and pages; they simply just need a bit of dusting
- that these super-intelligent and strong Psychlos, who conquered Earth in 9 (Yes, 9!) minutes, can barely walk in their silly "Kiss" hand-me down boots and can hardly grasp anything with their big floppy rubber gloves
- while observing the stranded man-animals catching rats to eat, the Psychlos assume rats must be their favorite food, even though there were no other edibles to catch
***** SILLY-QUOTE CHUG-A-LUG *****
Take a sip whenever confronted with nuggets of wisdom such as these:
"I am going to make you as happy as a baby Psychlo on a straight diet of kerbango."
"It will go straight to the home office!"
*For the hardcore kerbango-fan, while drinking, tilt your body at a 30-degree angle for no apparent reason, just like the cinematographer did with the camera!
