The most frightening thing in this movie is Robert Z'Dar's face. That's not make-up folks; he really looks like that!!

Loved the "Jean-Claude Gosh Darn" joke.

I always thought that the most frightening thing in ANY MiSTed movie is the fact that it was made!

Favorite Lines:

"This isn't the future and there aren't any wars. Other than that, the title fits great."
-Something like that.

"So he said, 'up your jurassic.'

This was one of the cheapest, crappiest, pathetic, flicks which had huge guys, Jurassic Park plush toys, Jean Clod Van Numbskull, and cardboard boxes. I have no clue why I like watching it again and again. Remember the classic "losing my shirt" scene?

Fave line was:

"Ladies and Gentlemen...Fred Burrows!"

"You think I ripped my shirt off!"

"The Lutherans create a cyborg..."

"Maybe the dinosaurs were killed by butterflies."

"What is this, a halfway house for huge guys??"

Keith Morgan was the gaffer of this movie! Gee, thanks KAM!

Another Jean-Claude Van Damme! Gee, thanks Belgium!

Man, Reb Brown could act circles around everybody in this movie.

I would love to see Gosh Darn try and have a conversation with the Warewilf lady.

Favorite Riffs:

Dustbuster Galactica!

Son of Moe Howard!

It's Superpope!

Z'Don't!

Come on now, you know that the "B-Word" is to be used only in Serious ScreenplaysOMT.

You know, I was so drunk, I don't even remember working on this film.

I hope my little 'lost weekend' didn't hurt the movie.

I hold you solely responsible for the cardboard maze kickboxing scene, KAM. :(


By KAM on Monday, June 11, 2001 - 7:39 am:

You mean that really happened? Wow, I thought it was just a bad dream.

Big really unbelievable news....apparently the guy who played Runaway (alias Jean Claude Gosh Darn) in this movie has a pretty sizable part in the upcoming Matrix sequels. He'll be playing a character named Agent Johnson.

Heaven help us.....

"That's how you kill an android: Wipe a length of tin pipe across it's stomach."
"Super Pope!"
"This must be the Arby's employee chapel."
Wannabe Nun: "I had a past that I'm not proud of."
Crow: "That's why I kept a scrapbook!"
"Great counselor picture."
"I'll hit you so hard with this, you'll go flying that way..."
"We're all outta steak."
"Ladies and Gentlemen: Fred Burrows!"
"Captain Blaris!"

This is the first episode I ever watched and paid attention to and laughed at. My favorite line out of the few I remember is where we see a close up of the cyborg's face with the bushy mustache and one of the bots says "Freddie Mercury after a good beating."

“It’s a clown loft – people keep coming out of it!”

(During the opening credits: special appearance by Mel Novak)
“It’d be a lot more special if we knew who the hell he was!”

“Boxes of air, shipped anywhere in the world overnight.”
“Maybe they’re shipping fully inflated balloons overseas.”

(The Runaway finds himself surrounded by boxes)
“He’s boxed in!”
“Yeah, well, I’m card bored.”

“The FedEx/DHL wars continued well into the next century.”

“Cardboard boxes aren’t working. Try throwing a piece of paper or a cotton ball.”

“Battle of the guys who peaked in high school.”

Fred: “When we met, you were hiding from a pimp. You just did a month in the joint; you were suicidal and addicted.”
Crow: “And you threw it all away!”

Annie: “Well, thank you for not killing me.”
Crow: “They should make a Hallmark card for that.”

Annie: “Ever since yesterday at the burial I’ve been asking myself ...”
Tom: “... how much do undertakers make?”

Sister: “Do you believe in signs?”
Crow: “I believe in Yield from Right.”

Annie: “I work alone.”
Tom: “I nun out of my house.”

(Annie makes a phone call)
Operator: “The number you have dialled is out of service.”
Crow (as Annie): “Oh, Vatican, pay your bill!”

“He has the lithe, supple figure of James Doohan.”

Runaway: “[The dinosaurs] come in packs.”
Crow: “Or cartons.”

“Oh, good, another large guy. The movie was needing one.”

Annie: “I’m sorry about Terri Jo.”
Crow: “He was a good Python.”

“This isn’t a real movie – it’s more of a movieloaf.”
“Yeah, it’s made from real movie parts chunked and formed.”
“OK, my theory is that the director shot the entire movie without looking at it.”

Runaway: “They’re after me. I’ll go give myself to them.”
Crow: “Good! Meeting adjourned.”

“Movie sponsored by the Plaid Council.”
“Plaid Avengers, ho!”

“Lighting budget ran out but they just keep on a-filming.”

“He’s an apprentice Bryan Brown.”

“The awesome power of a 60 watt lightbulb.”

“It’s a 5K spaz run!”

“Hi! I’m the director. Please enjoy this small inaccurate model of what we’d like to imply just happened. Thank you.”

“The movie that delivers more Huh?s per second.”

This is a really weird movie--it's like a mix of sci-fi with Roman Catholic Afterschool Special.
