You're right guys! We're idiots, I guess! [squares up to lap, vomits]
Crow - "Ok guys, let's lay down that lead guitar track just one more time."
Brought to you by the League of Psychotic Children. Surround yourself with annoying, shrill voiced children. Good day.
Tom: You know Space Chief should really try going up into space sometime.
Crow: Yeah, he's really more like Lower Atmosphere Chief.
Mike: Barely Off The Stupid Ground Chief.
Maybe the Japanese didn't really know they were making a film, per se. Maybe they thought they were working in a different medium, like fabric sculpture or something.
I never thought I'd say it, but suddenly Independence Day seems a richly nuanced movie.
It seems weird but this movie was based on a lyric poem called "Lotus WindFlower".
Hey guys, can we just... walk... to the lab. [panting] It's just that I have a heart murmur... and I'm... not supposed to run... everywhere. Oh boy.

"I just can't get a news break. There's nothing happening." There's the dolphin killing festival.
Meanwhile, Elliot Ness and his men and his cousins and friends and uh... some guys he met at the auto parts store all were on their way to ...
here.
Well uh, not much traffic today, you'll have a clear shot to your stifling workplace... Later on driving to the bar to avoid your family should be nooo problem.
Man, they got hosed on the whole barrier deal... I hope they bought the service contract.
"Run!"
... Riot! Loot!! Burn down the Asian grocery stores!
Oh no no no, wait wait wait...
You know, I wish the running would never stop. I mean it! I simply can't get enough shots of these kids running! No, really! Literally, there is no limit to how much I wanna see it.
"Yesterday you laughed at us, today we're all heroes!" - Now, you're gonna take a BEATING!
Oh I'm just so glad Japan honored all those post-war disarmament treaties.
Well, it's the end of the world as we know it, and actually I feel a little bit gassy, but otherwise I'm fine.
Thomas was very cross with Japan and felt he must resort to carpet-bombing.
"The clock's running backwards!" "That means lunch won't be 'til yesterday!"
"You can call me a name that suites me fine." "How about Ineffectual Chicken-Headed Bachelor?!"
Run! Work! Run faster! Work harder! Abandon healthy diets! Drink alot! Never speak to your children! DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR THE WAR!
You know, not many movies can support a full minute of showing a radar screen. For example, this one can't at all.
Scientists from around the world try to find out just what the hell is up with Japan.
Oh I know a song about stock footage: da dat da dat dat da, EAT IT MOVIE!!!!!

Drinking game: take a shot every time a group of characters run somewhere.

My cat sat on my lap and watched the entire interminable flight fight sequence towards the end of the movie. I think he's the only creature on earth who has ever enjoyed it.
Alas, if only I could also of had Krankor show up to buoy my spirits during my tragic and agonizing viewing of Battlefield Earth.
Good point Scooter Antreides! If the Neptunians could disguise their big azz spacesuits to appear as humans, it would have been so much more fun if they had chosen to appear as Japanese bikini beach babes!
So the Neptune Men come from an advanced civilization that designed spacesuits that make it impossible to turn their heads to the side; they can only see out through a tiny welder's mask sized window and they move like they haven't been able to change their astronaut diapers in quite some time.
SPOILER ALERT ! ! !- This movie really blows.
I had Rojipantycomplex as a child when I was too young to appreciate the cure.

One Neptunian's epic adventure through the galaxy in a mad frenzy over the loss of his favorite record.
If the Neptune invaders have the power to masquerade as humans, why did they appear as male soldiers in Geisha make-up?
If it's just an illusion, couldn't they have looked like anything they wished?
at 29:22 that kid said "Our reactor, they BLEWED up our reactor!" What a missed opportunity for the guys! That's almost as good as "it dived into the river" from Gamera. This line is called back in only a couple episodes. Mostly Gamera Vs. ___ ones.
Can't help but notice Krancor wasn't in the credits.

So the alien's plan was to start a war between America, and Japan, who at the time was a conquered protectorate of America?
21:40 ... Who's on FIRST!
1:14:29 "The Hitler building!"...really Japan, WHAT THE HELL?!?

The weird thing is--except for a few minor details--this is almost exactly the same movie as Prince of Space...Only Prince of Space is a riot: One of the most enjoyable films ever shown on MST3K--while THIS movie sapped my will to live :P
What a difference one simple Phantom of Krankor makes!
Does anyone else think that the kid in the light gray beanie sound just like Vincent Van Gopher from the Deputy Dog cartoons?
Scientists labor to find out just 'What the HELL' is the deal with Japan.
What. A. Turdburger.

It seems quite plausible that Japan would have something called a "Roji panty complex."
Oh, I don't know if there are any Rage Against the Machine fans here, but a clip of this movie (specifically at 13:55) was used in their video for "Testify."

The Idiot Control Song and Canada Song are pretty good bits, but I prefer Noh bit.

I may turn Mike saying "Can't get enough of that Sugar Crisp" into a ringtone.
