What manner of man are you, who can summon flame without flint or tinder?
Some call me... Ken.
Well, my guess is that it goes on like the mess it is with no resolution and we're all left feeling empty and unfulfilled like Fassbinder's tragic hero in 'Berlin Alexanderplatz.'
"Get down, this is no monkey cage!" This is no disco, this ain't no fooling around.
They said you were a traitor. And here you are in an Earth Space Command uniform. Traiting!
This is the song written for the train chase.
This is the chase, Rocky and Ken...
HE TRIED TO KILL ME WITH A FORKLIFT...OLAY!
It's... the song of the space-mugs! We'll drink to the brotherhood of glubglubglub
"What are the specs on this job, sir?" "Oh, those are bugs, they'll wash off."
I thought it was a sheer delight. I think that's about as grand as a hat party can get! BZZZZT ...That was about as painful as a cattle prod to the shoulder can get...
(Ken runs around & laughs insanely) Looks like Ken got his prescription pills. ...And is reverting back 2 childhood! ~Crow
Hey look, 27 8 by 10 color glossy photos with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one.
It's like in Doctor Who, the one with the three doctors, when one of them had Moe's hair.
"He's my mother! He's my sister! [slap] He's my mother AND my sister! [slap]"
"I want... your... wig... now..."
"It's been twenty-six miles..."
"It's only fun if I catch you! Wait up!"
"C'mon, it's my turn to wear the nightgown!"
"Oh, no! I don't want to die in the middle of nowhere!"
"I wanna' die in the Thong section at Victoria's Secret!"
"I can't do it-- I can't kill the man I love!" Then kill the one you're with.
"You've just been ordered executed. That oughta take the smile off your face." Not if you do it right.
"Ok let's just imagine that the blonde assassin comes in and shows her undying love for Ken & instead of serving 2 masters they die in a hara-kari love pact." Come on Joel, this is Sandy Frank, not Kurosawa!
Give it a week, I'll have a six-foot foam scorpion stinger hangin' off my butt.
Then Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy will be out to tell us some poignant stories of the joys and sorrows of being really, really....horribly old.

when Dr. F warns "remember what i said about hat parties!" .. what's he referring to?
mike as jack perkins just never gets old. not once ever.
I actually kind of like the special effects in this film. Also, I'll bet it made more sense before the Sandy Frank treatment.
Such a brilliant tactic to display a micro bomb/ device. Just pinch your fingers together, and it looks like you're REALLY holding onto something futuristic!
Over 20 years later, and no giant foam scorpion tail for crow. It's a shame, really...
The actor who plays Captain Joe, with the chipmunk-like, Dizzy Gillespie cheeks actually had cheek implants put in. It's not cheap to look that goofy.
The only thing this movie is missing is some Power Rangers and Godzilla

Does anyone know what Crow says at 15:40? The actor says "That's no meteorite." and then Crow says "That's my_______." and then laughs at himself.
It always kills me at 56:33 when she turns around talking on that giant white phone.

Holy cow! How popular is the name Ken in 1960s Japan?

"Ken did it?"
"Those bastards!"
(Almost South Park, six years before the fact. :p )
"Crow, I want you to be Ken, and Tom, I want you to be Ken." That line gets me every time.

Planet of the kens!
Ahh run more credits!!!
52:15 "That answers my question then. I thought you were a wolf raider." But I wasn't sure so I tried to run you over with a forklift.

Am I the only one who noticed you can see the left edge of the theater seat cutout in this episode?

The fugitive alien movies are highly under-rated. I don't know what it is, but all the Japanese movies they riff almost seem like they're made to be riffed...
OK, NOW I get the "We are Ken!" line from the Prince of Space episode.
Tragedy tomorrow, Kabuki tonight!

As a former mallet percussionist, I LOVE the musical chair! But guys, why make it sound like a vibraphone? It's design lends itself to bells, or at least a xylophone. Vibraphones need pedals and cushions. Just my little niggle. :)

Can someone please explain how those peoples' faces are being blown back in ripples of flesh -- as if riding a rocket sled -- if they're sealed inside a pressurized spacecraft cabin with NO WIND?

@ about 24:00 min..... one of the "space travelers" face seems to be waving, ahhhh.... don't you need gravity for that ? Oh... and a centrifuge ?
Or perhaps an OUT OF CONTROL PLUMMETING AIRCRAFT ? At least NEAR a gravitational source ?
Great... Now I want Haagen Dazs...

Joel and the bots are making fun of my hair- MY HAIR!
You killed my wife and daughter! No I didn't! Um... ok, then we'll make you an officer in our army. Welcome. Here's your top security clearance.

Remember when Fruitopia was the bomb? Not it's just a one-flavor-variety drink sold only at participating McDonalds.
"You betrayed us... TRAITOR!"
I want my last words to be redundant, too.

Some of this episode's best gags just aren't the same in text...

Helmets with curly, strawberry-blonde hair? Why? All I can figure is they're effective at confusing the enemy.

The opening scene is rather painful to watch now-- planes flying into a skyscraper.
