Watched this as a kid thinking it was a legitimate science fiction and I loved it. Rewatched it recently as a comedy as it was intended as and I loved it.
I still remember being an extra on this movie (I played one of the soldiers). Got to meet several of the stars, including Michael J. Fox (he's a genuinely nice guy in real life) and the director Tim Burton (also a nice person to work around.). I spent a week in the Northern Arizona desert working some of the Alien Ship arrival scenes and even got to play a tanker with some Russian tanks standing in for American tanks. It was fun, long days, and I watch it every so often for a good laugh.
@@mrgarica9633 No, they warned us about souvenirs as it was an old Army Tank and Training Range. I did get a really nice paycheck and a ruined pair of muddy combat boots. One of the conditions for any military extra's (most of us were Air Force or Army National Guard) was to bring a pair of combat boots (to wear as soldiers). It rained a couple of days on the set and it was an older pair anyway.
I remember watching this movie way back when I was a kid and the only thing that I can remember are those weird brains of the aliens and them bursting human heads I think. I remember watching this movie bec of the brains😂
I remember how disturbing it was to me at least back then when I was a kid. It still has an impact on me. To this day for some reason if we ever encountered aliens this is exactly what I see happening
you see them inhaling a nuclear blast and having their heads explode by some random music,this movie has gone out of its way in being out of touch with reality or possibility ...its hilarious to me than some think than this can metastasize past imagination
@@humility-righteous-giving Dont forget that the laws of Physics for Aliens are very different from ours.Sometimes reality is crazier than the craziest fantasy
but it does not fit with logic he only attacked after they felt threat from bird . humans are really assumptious and try to think that everyone else is also like them if humans kill and torture animals just for their pleasure and taste its good according to humans but they also judge aliens even without looking at them how can you say every organism have the same feelings as humans just like humans like greed , ego and hate ?
@@Aditya33789 i think u need help, what about when the humans call for peace after the first incident, but the aliens still trick and kill everyone attending the meeting? Did you watch that part of the movie?
I was terrified by this movie when i was a kid. For some reason I would watch things that were not for my age and feel fine but I took a glimpse of it while my parents were watching it and it traumatized me for years. I don't remember a lot from it but the sheer mention of this movie reminds me how scared I was. Meanwhile I would watch horror movies or violent movie and be completely ok
Dad also was overprotective, but for some reason he'd would watch watch comedy, horror, etc with me. So after watching stuff like The Thing & Pumpkin Head, this was just funny, lol. I was born in the late 80s, so maybe you are are younger than myself?
This movie scared me so much too when i was little and didn't help that when the dial up would start on the computer my parents would say it's the aliens trying to contact 😂
You'd think after the first time the aliens just destroy and kill everyone leaving no survivors in the first meeting and then leave...You'd think that alone would say they do not come in peace, also launching nukes at them would've saved a ton of time and lives...assuming the device they had wasn't prepared.
It's happening right now.. Cartel members come accros the border while the president claims they are all good people who want peace so he let's them all in while ignoring the murders etc.. That happen.. Msng such cases at the me moment..
I think it was pretty reasonable to assume that it was just a cultural misunderstanding. There were many wars in human history that were started because of cultural misunderstandings, that ended in unneccessary bloodshed. The second time it happened was a good time to realize that they didn't come in peace. All in all I think the President in this movie acted rationally.
Crazy how many big time celebrities (both in their prime and before they became big) were in this thing, given how corny it was. Pierce Brosnan, Danny Devito, Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annete Bening, Sarah Jessica Parker, Martin Short, Michael Fox, Natalie Portman, Jack Black, Christina Applegate.
considering a few % points difference can make a human thrive or pass out it's not that weird to think they couldn't breathe our atmosphere without some extra nitrogen. Maybe they needed 90% nitrogen instead of 78%.
It bothers me how the best movies of their era get ripped off so often that they come off as cheesy and cliche by the time you look back at them . Nostalgia is a hype monster.
The amount this terrified me as a child was no joke. For months I couldn’t sleep because I was much to young to have seen this. The dismembered heads were a prominent feature in my nightmares. I’ve since watched it and it’s not as scary as I found it as a child. If only that worked for the birds, watched it multiple times since, still terrified of birds.
That movie scarred me . I watched it pretty young and developed a fear for aliens for pretty much all my teen years. Watching the recap now, i still find those scenes disturbing even thought i know its a comedy movie

@@darkracer1252 Yes, I was a small child, people were turned into skeletons and some heads were removed. Ofc that is scary for a kid. Why are you mad that I got scared? Chill dude 😂
That's a fair comparison of the casts. The difference is that It's a MMW was actually funny, whereas Mars attacks was a new genre, namely a comedy with no jokes.
Really? U didn’t remember the main thing about the movie? All you had to do was type in aliens brain explosions. Or even if you didn’t know it was an alien movie you could just type in head popping scenes in old movies and after a few mins u will find it. Or if you didn’t know it had head popping you literally could have typed in Google old alien movies. The fact that you didn’t know the name of the movie for ‘decades’ either means you didn’t care about it at all enough to do a very quick Google or this comment is complete horse shit
I saw this in the theaters and people were walking out because they didn't understand it. The monotone voice doesn't do justice of how great this film really was.
For a goofy film, the cast is overloaded with top Hollywood stars, before superhero films, we had never seen so many stars in the same, goofy comedy film, and i love it.

That was unheard of, with that cast that year you could expect the best film ever done in history, but we got this... And i prefer it
I watched this with my daughter who I guess was around 7 at the time, with it being advertised as a comedy I had no particular qualms about her viewing it, it turned out she was absolutely terrified of the aliens to the extent I was horrified by her reaction! Switched it off and to this day she won't watch it!
OMG I have searched for this movie ever since I was a kid! I remember watching the scene when the aliens go all out. When I told my parents later, They thought I just had a dream
I loved this movie as a kid. It never creeped me out. To me it just looked cool with all the explosions and destructions and I would use some plates and pretend they're UFOs while hovering it on some lego buildings I made back when I was 6.
i have unlocked a new memory now i remember watching this like maybe 10 or more years ago i don't even know and i really remember the ending and many stuff from it which is very surprising it was at the time i didn't even speak English very well
