[@ariakravi268]

In the original cut (which was only released in Japan), Eric was shot by the police instead of being injured by the explosion, and the dad alien literally rips the bullet out of him. In the international release, they rerecorded the audio of Michael saying "He's gone?" but he's clearly saying the original line of "He's dead?" (and they did such a poor job of it, you can still hear the original line under the rerecorded version), and "He's dead, mom, he's dead" became "They can't help him". I wish I were joking.

[@pittland44]

So, I just have one little problem with them having an actual disabled kid playing the disabled kid in the movie. Mac resurrects the kid from the dead. However, because of the reality that the actor was actually wheelchair bound, he cannot give him the use of his legs. So, he revives him from death, but doesn't help him walk? What the actual hell? That's why that was a bad decision. Also, the kid cannot act. Like at all.

[@shadrachandtheboys5626]

The main thing I know this from is that every time Paul Rudd goes onto Conan's show to promote a movie, instead of promoting the movie he's in, he just shows the scene of the kid falling off the cliff in the wheelchair, and that's it. No context or explanation, just that scene. It's honestly iconic.

I've heard that most of the crew for this movie was pretty much payed in advance or something. The director was hired out of the blue, showed up and saw that everyone who could be a part of a film crew was already there but he asked for the script and was told "We don't have a script. Just start filming and write one on the weekends" so they started filming and wrote one on the weekends. Also apparently the kid who starred in this film was someone who had a condition where he actually needed that wheelchair and he probably could've been a big 90s star if the movie wasn't so bad. His career never really picked up after it and now he's an artist or something. Which, props to him for being one of the few people in this film that could bounce back into the public eye after that. I don't think there's a single speaking actor in this film that continued acting after it. At least not within decade to follow.

[@violetgc6049]

That is all super interesting info! It's pretty clear that the script/plot was not a top priority. Anything not directly ET- inspired most certainly evolved in a spitballing session wherein the director, the boom guy and some extras got really stoned and started brainstorming and laughing until they couldn't breath. (Alien design/random dance sequence/ wheelchair kid falling off cliff/entire climax and resolution of film -- all inspired by the director's vivid, intense acid trips on the weekend while fleshing out the "script.")

When I was a small child in the early 90's my aunt owned a video store in Luxembourg. I spent A LOT of time in that store and watched SO MANY movies. The thing is, I was very young at the time and now I don't recall most of them. Except for one single movie that randomly pops into my mind from time to time. I have thought about that movie hundreds of times, unable to remember what it was called or what it was about. All I remembered was the final scene involving an alien chewing pink gum in a car. I wasn't even sure if it had actually happened or if it was just a fever dream of mine. I didn't think I would be able to find proof of its existence so I never actually bothered to look it up. But then this video was recommended to me. This IS the movie! Thanks KZbin algorithm. I feel weirdly emotional now.

Because for the 80s this movie wasn't that abnormal. It's only as wild and bizarre as it is when looked at in a modern light. Now i'm not saying it was ever good, but it wasn't that odd either. The amount of cocaine in hollywood at the time they churned shit like this out every other day.

The fake names in the credits is actually not an uncommon occurrence. "Alan Smithee" is actually the official pseudonym used by the Directors Guild of America from 1968 to 2000, which directors would credit themselves as if they had worked on a movie that was meddled with so much by the executives during production that the director no longer wanted to be associated with it.

[@Vikanuck]

Lol one GLORIOUS bit of trivia you forgot to mention about this movie, is that while E.T. stands for ‘Extraterrestrial’, MAC, stands for ‘Mysterious Alien Creature’ haha 😄 Also, the reason they dressed him in a bear costume was so they could pull of the same trope of having E.T. wear the girls clothes to allow him to blend in, but escape in that movie. Not just arbitrarily be out in public to be hidden, only to break out into choreographed dancing 😂 I’m one of the lucky few these days to have been a bad movie hunter at Blockbuster, and with that I found this movie, and Malibus Most Wanted, which actually became one of my favourite movies ever.

I love how they see a disastrously remodeled/trashed room and their first thought is "the kid in a wheelchair did it!" Like..a top student athlete would have serious difficulty accomplishing all that in a single night. Imagine carrying all that crap in with one arm, rolling a wheelchair + the weight of the stuff you're carrying with the other. Silently. In one night. And also destroying a wall.
