I heard that Jack Nicholson's agent negotiated that he couldn't be killed in the movie. Tim Burton responded by giving him 2 different characters, and killing them both.

Why does it matter if his character dies? He’s just playing a role.

[@briandurio6479]

​@@117rebelsometimes actors have weird things like that in their contracts. Like if I remember right Dwayne Johnson has something in one of his contracts that states that he can never actually lose a fight or something which is part of the reason why he ended up having to dip out of the Fast and the Furious franchise cuz Vin Diesel also has something like that iirc. I can't remember what it's called something like a tough guy clause or something.

"They blew up Congress! Ha ha ha ha!" Fun Fact: The pinball machine that appears briefly in the background of the film is Bally's Harlem Globetrotters On Tour (1979). Final Bow Fact: The final film of Sylvia Sidney, but kept on the small screen. A lifelong heavy smoker, Sidney died on July 1, 1999, aged 88, of throat cancer. Practical Effects Fact: To make the Martian Girl costume as smooth as possible, it had no zipper or buttons on it. Lisa Marie had to be sewn into it every day before filming of her scenes in it could even began. Lost In Translation Fact: The film's writers were not sure what the Martians should sound like, so its script used "Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack!" for all of their lines of dialogue. This became their actual language in all future franchise merchandise and media. Music Enthusiast Fact: Director Tim Burton visited Tom Jones backstage after one of his Las Vegas performances to ask him to be in this film. Additionally, Jones' actual back-up singers at the time, Darelle Porter Holden, Christi Black, and Sharon Hendrix, played his doomed back-up singers in the film. Mother Bear Fact: Director Tim Burton called Pam Grier and asked her to fly to Los Angeles for an audition. She said she wanted to, but could not because her dog was terminally ill. He called her back several times and eventually decided that she had already auditioned by not leaving her dog, since her character in the film refused to leave her two sons.

The music that kills the Martians is by Slim Whitman. I grew up hearing it all the time! My grandmother and my dad were both big fans. He was a lot more popular in England than here in the USA. I know he recorded at least 75 albums, because that’s how many my grandmother had. There were probably more! Hard to believe. 🤣

The Martians landed in Pahrump, Nevada, a town that became well known due to the late Art Bell who created the overnight radio show "Coast to Coast AM"

I'm not overly crazy about Tim Burton's movies on the whole (I grew up on and love Beetlejuice, though), but this one is a big darn homerun! Perfectly captured the feel of those old fashioned B-movies of the 50's with full A-list casts. And it's just darn funny too. Plus he put The Joker and The Penguin in the same movie; gotta love it.

[@MegazoneMusic23]

Im with you on that. I was never a fan of TB movies. I wasnt crazy about 1989 Batman,and Ive never seen Beetlejuice. Mars Attacks was actually pretty funny. Ill give him that ;)

[@samwallaceart288]

_Ed Wood_ is Burton's best movie, low-key. Based on real Hollywood history, Johnny Depp plays the so-bad-it's-good horror director struggling to keep creative control over his project with McCarthy-era smears on his character and studio meddling. For people who don't like Tim Burton movies, I'd wanna shout that one out as being a straight look at his chops as a director that isn't a genre parody. Also _Big Fish_ has a special place in my heart. It's Tim Burton's take on the "old guy narrates his far-fetched life story" type of movie; the whole movie has a cozy bittersweet storybook vibe.

[@maximillianosaben]

The fact that Jim Brown and Pam grier play a married couple babooooom! Two 70's blaxipolition action stars that all they had to do was stare at you and you were a pile of ash.

This was based on a series of trading cards back in 1962 but depictions of gore and implied sexual content caused an outcry, leading the company to halt production. Needless to say, they're now valuable collectors' items. The cards are awesome BTW. You can see them on KZbin. The woman playing grandma was a A-list actress back in the 1930's. Sylvia Sidney. She played the spirit guide in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice.

So part of this plot was based off of the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, in that movie the song Puberty Love killed the tomatoes and turned the tide. Probably not a reaction watch because most people do not know about it, but probably one you want to watch without reaction. Great B movie stuff!

A lot of the old scifi movie had the aliens being defeated by some odd means. There was even a Godzilla movie where the aliens had their computers fouled up by a noise, and maybe that's why Godzilla was in this movie. You should try Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride".

[@stanmann356]

The OG Martian invaders, from H.G. Wells novel "War of the Worlds", written in 1898, had the Martians completely dominating Earth, only to die of sickness from Earth's bacteria.

[@Thane36425]

@@stanmann356 Right. That kind of made sense for the time it was set. If the Martians had lived in very clear or even sterile conditions for long enough it is possible they would have had weak to no immune system. However, this would presume that they also forgot about germs and didn't take precautions. It would also mean that Earthly germs could affect them or even survive in them, and that is not a given. It also presumes it wouldn't work the other way, too, meaning that the Martians weren't carrying some kind of germ that was either dormant or beneficial to them that was lethal to Earth life. It probably wouldn't work today since if they'd observed and media for the last 90 years or so they'd know about germs here and would be ready.

This whole film was based on “Mars Attacks” trading cards which were a lot like the “Garbage Pail Kids”. The cards were graphic parody cards with outlandish characters and art work.

It's hilarious, the cast is awesome, it's very well done (you can tell that the people who worked on it put a lot of time, pride and effort in), doesn't take itself too serious and fully leans in the campy ridiculousness without loosing the plot. I saw it for the first time in the cinema (pure luck, the movie my friends and I wanted to see was almost sold out and we would have had to split the group). The theater was almost empty, on the opening weekend! I don't think I ever laughed so hard in a cinema.

"That's Jim F'ing Brown!!". That's what I was expecting the first time Jim Brown appeared, not at the end of the movie. I forgot how many big name actors were in this movie, out of all of them Tom Jones is my favorite. Every time I see Tom Jones I think of my mom, she was a big fan of him. While I'm thinking about it, was that a Slim Whitman song that killed the Martians? I'm going to have to Google that. Oh, for another Jim Brown movie I suggest The Dirty Dozen, if J hasn't already seen it. I think J would really like that movie.

[@samwallaceart288]

As a kid, I had this irrational fear that Danny DeVito's character in this movie was me when I grow up. And I meant that literally; in the back of my head I just _knew_ that DeVito was _literally me,_ time-displaced from the future, to be in this movie; that this is the man I would grow up to become. And this knowledge scared me. Eventually I laughed it off. What a silly fear to have, that's not even possible. But then I rewatched this movie as an adult and realized watching this character again; _I _*_really_*_ like this guy. I like the way he thinks and carries himself. He's my dude._

[@IggyStardust1967]

Another fun movie along these lines is "Spaced Invaders". That movie is hilarious, and I highly recommend it. It's a "sleeper" movie, in that it doesn't have a large following, but it's criminally underrated.

I seen it but only one time and I was like only 4 or 5 years old. My parents rented it for me and only watched it once, and somehow never watched it again. I'm now in my 30's. I don't really have much of an opinion on it. Do you think I should try to see it again?
