[@bouncybaby5577]

No, when I first watched Mars Attacks I was hoping for a serious sci-fi thriller, but having seen the cast list knew it was going to be a bit weird. It seems the more super stars in the film, the weirder it is. Examples would be 'Murder By Death' and 'Oscar', both stacked full of legends but with utterly ridiculous plots.

[@robertspurgeon281]

There's a very good reason why Jack Nicholson plays two characters in this. Warner Bros. told Tim Burton that he couldn't kill off Nicholson's character in this film, because he'd already killed off the Joker at the end of Batman and they thought audiences would feel like they'd seen this before. Burton thought this was so stupid, he basically went "Screw it, I'm gonna kill him twice" 😆

This movie is based on the Mars Attacks series of trading cards published by Topps in 1962. It was popular with kids of the time, but they were extremely gruesome and the company was forced to halt production after an outcry. Topps brought Mars Attacks back in the 1980s, then an expanded series reissued in 1994, a couple years before this movie came out.

[@Gravydog316]

Topps legend Gary Gerani wanted to make a Mars Attacks movie, then Tim Burton got the movie rights to this & Dinosaurs Attack, & Tim was planning to make Dinosaurs Attack first, ...and then Jurassic Park came out, so he made this instead & Gary Gerani was heartbroken because he wanted to make this, but as a real scary horror movie like the original cards.

The woman playing the alien in disguise was Tim Burton's partner at the time. She needed ongoing medical treatment because the costume was so heavy. She was quoted as saying that despite the extreme discomfort, it was a role she really enjoyed playing.

[@kevinschultz5678]

She was a spot on dead ringer for Vampira in Tim Burton's "Ed Wood", which is kind of on a par with this one in terms of weird ridiculousness. No Danny Elfman on that one, some guy named Howard Shore, don't know if he did anything after it. 😉

The Theremin is the electronic sound instrument that makes that ufo associated sound.

The Tim Burton remake of Planet of the Apes is worth watching for the theme *ALONE* (Danny Elfman). The music sends chills down my spine. A lot of people didn't like the remake, but I enjoyed it. Danny Elfman did the scores for the overwhelming majority of Tim Burton's movies (19/22 to date). The only ones that do not have Elfman scores are Ed Wood, Sweeney Todd (as a musical, the music was already complete before the movie was even an idea), and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Everything else in the Burton catalog is scored by Danny Elfman.

If you haven't seen Tim Burton's first live-action theatrical movie as the director, then you should consider watching _Pee-wee's Big Adventure_ (1985). Yes, Danny Elfman did the score, and it was his second movie as the score composer. You'd enjoy it, and while I don't want to spoil it too much, it's partly about "James Bond kind of stuff" (direct quote from the movie). Well, sort of. 😉
