The funny thing is, you can kind of see how this movie had potential. "Eddie Murphy as Lando Calrissian" should be a pretty workable premise for a movie. And the cast has some talented people in it!

[@Zodroo_Tint]

He could have been a smuggler in a cool ship smuggling stuff to the Moon and Venus and Mars. With a hundred million budget it could have been a great movie.

[@roberttreacy8271]

Yeah, there’s a good movie in there somewhere.

[@RenaldyCalixte]

​@@Zodroo_Tint The issue isn't Eddie Murphy it's bad writers. It's sad because I enjoyed the canon Lando Calrissian solo comic. So it's clear Pluto Nash could have worked as a space movie.

[@RenaldyCalixte]

​@@roberttreacy8271 I saw Pluto Nash as a kid and liked it. But as an adult I realized how bad this movie was. Part of me wishes they did a reboot of Pluto Nash with a different popular black actor because with good writing Pluto Nash could succeed.

She started with a terrible movie, she should be happy she got any role after that.

[@heymistercarter.]

She was also in Men In Black Part 2 the same year as this. So in other words, 2002 was NOT the year for her to be in sci-fi projects. But, now that Ahsoka Tano is one of her main roles, it does get better.

[@brain_apostrophe_t]

Pluto Nash is weirdly nostalgic for me. When I was 10 my parents moved myself and my brother to Australia, and as my mom was still in the US selling the house, I wasn’t in school yet and I didn’t really have any friends, I was kept occupied by rented movies pretty much all the time. Even then I realised it was a shit movie, hell I was more cynical then than I am now, but aesthetically it really had an impact on me. While derivative, it’s certainly cohesive and focused in its aesthetics, and I can appreciate that.

[@HiperPivociarz]

I gotta be honest, the way they play dramatic music everytime "the twist is revealed" is pretty funny.

[@Tareltonlives]

I actually laughed at the twist. I'm kind of ashamed.

There's a certain sort of movie I've seen a lot of in my life. I watch something on TV and it ends. For whatever reason I don't turn the TV off, I just leave it on in the background and go about my business. Hours later I glance up and a generic late night movie is playing. I think to myself "Oh yeah, that's a thing that exists." then I continue ignoring it. Pluto Nash is a great example of that kind of movie.

[@SigEpBlue]

$100,000,000 to make _this_ 'movie'? Where did it go?! Honestly I'm stumped. I can only assume they left about five or six reels on the cutting room floor, or had to do enough retakes & rewrites to make Michael Cimino blush.

[@TheSeptet]

So fun fact! One time I accidentally bought this movie because I thought it was Meteor Man. I had watched Meteor Man as a kid and vaguely remembered liking it, so when I saw "Eddie Murphy space adventure" I thought that this was that. The problem? Robert Townsend is the star of Meteor Man, not Eddie Murphy. All in all, I'm not sure if I got off better or worse buying this movie instead.

Brandon Roberts best Comment *EVER*

[@ralphyetmore]

From the non-twist reveal, to things like the "happiness chip", it makes me think this was originally written as a satire of b-mivie tropes. But nobody making the film knew that and tried to make it a straight comedy.

[@Pineappolis]

That's an interesting theory given the sheer time it was in development Hell. A parody like that probably would have made a lot more sense back when the script was first written but probably wouldn't have struck a chord with a wide enough audience when it went into production (hence trying to adapt it into a straight comedy). Of course, in a sane world, that should read, "(hence throwing the script in the bin and never thinking about it again)," but Hollywood can be _really_ weird sometimes.

[@handsomebrick]

This movie makes a lot of sense if you imagine it as a fantasy made up by Pluto as he watches his friend play bad accordion music. It starts out simple, he imagines himself telling his friend to play Italian music instead, then his imagination quickly spins out of control with mafia guys breaking in to kill the friend, and he smooth talks them into giving him his friend's bar instead which immediately results in him becoming a super important and popular guy, he hires a hot waitress who knows about his exciting past as a smuggler (probably something he made up for the fantasy), then the bar blows up and he and the waitress go on an exciting adventure where he meets all his old smuggling friends (which he also made up, obviously) and his friend who became a huge success by taking Pluto's career advice, and finally fights an exact clone of himself that was created by the crime bosses of Mars to destroy him. I assume the setting actually is Mars, but he made up the robots and clones and body modification shops to make the story more interesting. I guess he's an opinionated guy, since his fantasy occasionally involves people listening to him rant about some topic, and the central plot is about criminals trying to make Mars into a gambling haven so presumably it's something he's anxious about.

[@MyMagnificentOctopus]

I am surprised at how many faces from Pluto Nash ended up on season three of the Sopranos. The older guy shaking down his friend in the intro was Bacala's father. Joe Pantoliano had a big part. Did David Chase watch Pluto Nash and decide "Yeah, these are the guys we need to add to the show"?

[@seanandesen4193]

Pluto Nash may be a better David Chase creation than Many Saints of Newark

[@RenaldyCalixte]

​@@seanandesen4193Many Saints of Newark was disappointing but it wasn't embarrassingly terrible like Pluto Nash. 😂

[@SerenityM16]

The conflicts lasting about 5 minuets reminds me of the historical films they make now a days where they make something up, like any time you notice something being a conflict in the movie and then is immediately forgotten is something you’re going to later find was made up to make it seem more important. Like when the exec in Bohemian Rhapsody doesn’t think the album would do well. It’s immediately resolved because that conversation never happened.

[@charliepie1212]

It feels as though they wanted to cash in on futurama, but only really caught the general aesthetic? Like, they saw the show, remembered their screenplay they had in the freezer, and decided to try and cash in?

[@JesterNil]

A better twist would've been if Pluto Nash was the clone all along and just didn't know it. Still a bad twist, but better than, "Oh yeah by the way, you were cloned.".

[@juliagoodwin3461]

[@seanmatyas3938]

A kind of weird (and slightly disturbing) Randy Quaid story When I worked at Blockbuster, Jamie King (from Sin City) came into the store and ended up renting a bunch of movies ( I even sold her a Rewards card). She was in town shooting a movie and I guess she was bored. Anyways, after she left a girl (in her 20s) came in and I said "Hey, you just missed the actress Jamie King" and her response was "Oh really? Well once my friend slept with Randy Quaid". I kind of just looked at her for a second and the only thing I could respond with was "why?" She looked flustered and I guess realized that wasn't really something to brag or be proud about and kind of scurried off into the store. That was back in 2009 so I guess Pluto Nash wasn't bad enough to stop Quaid from sleeping with girls more than half his age.

[@tonymata8070]

Yikes...... that sounds horrible.

[@lookbovine]

[@cbright76]

The reason why this movie bombed at the box office because there was almost no advertising and the release date was pushed back several times. Warner Bros. had a release date of July 3, 2002 and at the last moment, Sony rushed to complete Men In Black 2 to have it released on the same day. With two movies like the same, one of them would bomb and Warner Bros. didn't want to take the risk. So without announcing the date change, Pluto Nash was pushed back to August 16, 2002 to limited theatres.

Pluto Nash is a movie you put in while you have nothing going on, and don't want to think. One of the first such movies that are now flooding the box office now. It did make me laugh, as in, "That was so stupid" laugh. But if I have nothing better to do, and have a couple hours to kill, its fun to see someone's career go down the drain. Now the challenge...

Not all characters need arcs. Indiana Jones famously has no serious character arc, but he's a great character. I think it can be even funnier to have an asshole of a character set up like he'd going to have a character arc and then show that he hasn't changed at all (even though that itself has now been done to death). The real flaw is in making an unfunny comedy. Eddie Murphy was in many films where they seemingly just expected it would be funny and a hit simply because he was there: Best Defense, Vampire in Brooklyn, the Haunted Mansion, etc. He has been in some great comedies, but he also shows up for a paycheck.

[@Tareltonlives]

At least he changed in Raiders-indifference to the Ark, then obsessed with it, then willing to destroy it to save the woman he loves, then respectful of it. And Last Crusade was basically one long father-song reconciliation

This movie had exactly one thing going for it: the music. John Powell is a good composer who's done a lot of really solid work over the years (like the How To Train Your Dragon movies) and he was trying so so so SO hard to prop up the movie with the soundtrack. The main title is super fun (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2PJhoiLiLCmfbc) and throughout the movie, what little energy or excitement it shows is almost 100% coming from the orchestra. This one's up with some of Jerry Goldsmith's work in terms of "awesome score which is way better than a movie deserves."

[@danielvandersall6756]

This film was a product of Castle Rock Entertainment. Owned by Warner Brothers media, they obviously thought that people would come to see ANYTHING with Eddie Murphy. Not saying this destroyed the studio or anything, but they made about 30 films in the 2000s, and in the next decade produced about 10. Counting in overhead costs and advertising, I would estimate a total cost of around 200 million for this film; it did international box office of 7 million. For any studio, even with the creative and fascinating accounting they do, losing nearly 197 million is a very serious loss. And for Murphy, the kiss of death. Only thing I remember seeing him in recently was "Dolomite" on Netflix--and he was superb in that.
