The song that kills the Martians is called "Indian love call" and yes it's by Slim Whitman. I used to play it on the loudspeaker at my old bar when it was time to close. It worked.
"They killed Congress!! 😂😂😂😂😂"
Most realistic scene in film history.
"Maybe they don't like the human being" is another good one.
This movie basically takes all the stereotypical elements from 1950s and 1960s sci-fi movies, throws them together, and mocks them. Im old enough to have watched those old movies in black and white on tv as a kid, so I love this!
It's also based on trading cards from the era.
So many Burton movie actor cameos. I wonder how much was ad-lib'd or otherwise done as they went - like DeVito's death - Yeah Tim, I want the Martians to fry me at the end . . . type stuff.
"Mars Attacks" is dark, twisted and funny. It came out the same year as "Independence Day," which takes an alien invasion pretty seriously. You can guess which one people preferred. But to me "Mars Attacks!" will always be light years better.
Dasha: "Are you serious?"
Us: There's nothing serious about this movie! Just morbidly funny.
How is SJP popular & successful? She has none of the criteria usually required to succeed as an actress in Hollywood.
Tim Burton was told by the studio bigwigs "You can't kill Jack Nicholson!".
So Burton obviously had Nicholson play two parts and had him killed twice.
That was very martian of him.
Tim already killed Jack Nicholson in Batman (1989), not sure why he couldn't do it again.
Mars Attacks! is based on the 1962 trading card set of the same name produced by Topps. The giant robot at 19:50, the shrink ray and the burning cattle are directly modelled on cards from that set.
The “save the President, screw the kids” probably is the most realistic part of the movie. The President’s safety would be the Secret Service’s 1st priority.
As it always is. The humor is they said it out loud.
Well, it is a underestimated movie. On its time it wasn't appreciated because "Independence Day is better"
It never tried to copy Independence Day, it was a parody of it and every space invasion movie there is, specially those from the 40's 50's. Burton is a Genius.

saying EH
with her accent is adorable
The "two out of three ain't bad" line was one of my favorite movie lines of all time.
I use it at any opportunity.
The actress who played the grandma also played Juno the case worker in Beetlejuice.
Yup! Sylvia Sidney. She started her career in the 1920s. She was a *highly* paid star in the 1930s! She worked on stage as well as screen fairly steadily for seven decades. "Mars Attacks!" was her last film role. She died in 1999, at the age of 88.
5:43, She would be, Dasha-At the time, he'd just debuted as James Bond, "Goldeneye" And real-life women swooned worldwide. His 007 movies are very well liked, he was a natural for the role.
27:29.... C'mon, Dasha, do the Carlton dance... You know you want to...
Loved this as a kid, also “beavis and butthead do America” if you’d ever do that, what a film lol. Thank you for all you do x
Or “who framed roger rabbit” x
@@ashleymenzies665030:17 she already did Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The reaction is on the channel. You should check it out.
Doves are just pigeons with delusions of grandeur.
LOL. Well said.
The one who played the doctor is J. Kenneth Campbell, my mom's cousin
Look up Slim Witman to learn about the grandmother's music.
Tim Burton wanted the martians to be done by stop motion, much like "Nightmare before Christmas". However, it became too technically difficult due to trying to combine stop motion with live action so Burton had to do the martians by CGI.
Agreed 😊
There's some of that in there still. And stuff like removing the helmet is super slick for the time.
Shoutout to Jim Brown, the greatest Running Back of all time playing the boxer!
23:05 I only understood this part many years after watching the movie for the first time (and I watched it many times). Notice how the Martian leader's voice changed. He inhaled nuclear fire like we sometimes inhale helium to make our voices squeak 😉
Technically you were right, doves and pigeons are the same thing. Some species we call doves, some we call pigeons, and some we call both (the "Common Pigeon" is a sub-species of the "Rock Dove" or "Rock Pigeon")
20:28 ...Don't know if you've noticed, but the president and this space cowboy, this bandit of love were both played by Jack Nicholson.... Just a small fact...
The singing at the end is called yodeling.
The song was sung with a high note , it is probable that where the aliens came from they never heard very high pitch sounds.
I didn't really appreciate this when I saw it as a teenager, but I now find it really funny.
I loved this movie when I was in college. So silly. Tons of famous actors, all dying within minutes.
Little history, Mars Attacks! was a set of collector cards. This movie was based soaly on that set of caards.
I saw this on DVD last year and I laughed so hard when, skull aliens are talking funny and invading.
If you like silly sci-fi you might try "Earth Girls are Easy".
This movie has so many people in it.
If you don't know them, eventually you will watch one of their movies.
It really would've been the most A-list cast of all time if it came out 10 years later.
To me, this movie will always be remembered as the movie I most often used to connect Natalie Portman with other actors in "Six Degrees of Natalie Portman", a not-so-subtle spin on the popular "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" that my Navy buddies and I used to play while standing watch.
5:05 I feel like she's talking to a lot of us out there 😂
Grandma was the original Mother Carlson on WKRP in Cincinnati
She was also the social worker for the recently deceased in Beetlejuice
There are reports that Tim Burton is working on a sequel to Mark Attacks.
NO APPLAUSE
NO BIRDS
4:20 Jack Black looks totally _different_ with a buzz cut, doesn't he?
5:40 Well, when you're interviewing James Bond, that tends to happen. 😉
I don’t know anything about this movie but it’s funny
The bird was a dove. Doves have been associated with peace for centuries.
I love the absurdity of this! Just about every stereotypical trope thrown together in an absurdist comedy. My personal theory is that the speech that coopted the airwaves initially was something about how Earth was an experiment but it was never supposed to develop intelligent life, so they're coming to fix things.
The aliens' super science doesn't quite make sense: re, the heads able to talk! I can accept his head kept alive via artificial blood, & his support being controlled by his thoughts, but voice requires breath, a diaphragm that can be controlled, larynx & tongue, & while the ditzy reporter had an organic body, she wouldn't control the dog's diaphragm; while the scientist didn't even have lungs! Never mind a diaphragm!
What an underrated comedy and franchise (I kind of remember the attempt to push that very old property again, Mars Attacks! I mean. They pushed the band Kiss at the same time) based film. All I can say. It is just wildly creative and the low brow comedy is just as point as Dark Shadows.
Oh and Caesars Palace is cool. I'm not far though it was long ago for me. Actually though most places on the strip and along the Tri-State are equally as great to visit. It's not the ritz rather they all are. I did have one of the stupid column mugs though a flatmate broke it. But yeah, you should see all that and Vegas, Laughlin, Lake Havasu. Especially London Bridge in the latter. That is all worth doing.
It is based on cards in…. Bubblegum packets? Great movie anywho.
Fun fact: as you may already know, when translating languages, you have to take into account things like word usage, slang, and subjectives. If you take that under consideration, the actual translation from the Martians 1st messege (which you were right, he sounded angry) is as follows:
Martians, 800,000 years ago. We created the human hybrids. We fight for the right to control the cosmos The power of the Martians, fighting under the dark swayed flag, will mow your people down like a harvest of wheat.
Source?
The formation the saucers were in is what's called a wedge formation. Cavelry used to use it to help break through enemy lines. Also I don't know if you noticed but that's Jack Black playing Rickeys brother.
The perfect counterpart to Tim Burton’s “Ed Wood” film, as Burton considered this an homage to the real director Edward D. Wood, Jr.
Tim Burton had 8 other plans for this movie....
The grandmother in the nursing home was played by Sylvia Sydney, who had been in movies for 70 years when this was made.
14:35 "It's a _great victory_ for our administration."
Show this man the movie title.
"Nice Planet..We'll take It".
One of my favorite lines in this (highly quotable) movie: "You're an adult. Just cope." That and "Don't run, we are your friends!"
Another movie you might find as amusing is "Spaced Invaders".
Also, the "Flying Saucers" in Mars Attacks were quite heavily influenced by the ones from the movie "Earth VS the Flying Saucers" (a black and white movie from the 1950s). The Martians, not so much.
24:30 - It's the Yodeling in that note in particular.
Also, there were quite a few subtle references to the 1953 movie version of War of the Worlds. I won't point them out because "Spoilers" (even though the movie is well over 50 years old at this point).... but that version is well worth checking out, as well.
“Wow, that looks very peaceful” no thats just american welcoming parties lol
Dasha: *sees a dove*
Dasha: Pidgun
My favorite B movie cult classic
The pinball machine for this film was great.
Yes. Yes it was. Love me some pinball.
Hi Dasha, Merry Xmas to you & your family, Best Wishes for a Happy New Year !! Compliments of the Season to all the other Subscribers, Commentators & viewers of your channel. :)
I was like 6 or 7 when I first watched this movie, they used to give it a lot on the USA network , and the WB when I was a kid I loved this film but the Alien Pro, and the experiments used to give huge anxiety as a kid. I loved this movie but those scenes used to just scare the hell out of me.
26:25
In The Darkest Hour 2007 the aliens are killed by microwave guns
Hydrogen nuclear weapons produce helium. Hence the funny voice gag 😊
The music that kills the Martians is by a singer named Slim Whitman known for yodeling and whose music albums were sold on late night American TV at the time the movie was made.
I enjoyed your reactions, it was a comedy, with tropes from the 50's era of B movies. They sorta copied the sound weapon from Godzilla vs, Monster Zero. The aliens were destroyed by a personal alarm this guy invented😂
This move was originally called Russia attacks!
Aliens being defeated by weird ways harkens back to the original alien invasion story, HG Wells' War of the Worlds. The Martians quickly counter and overcome all of humanities weapons and tactics, only to succumb to germs and bacteria
Admit it, you tried walking like the Martian lady at one time during this movie.
Tim Burton made this movie as a "fuck you" to Hollywood. Apparently, some Hollywood exec(s) told Burton that he can't kill off Jack Nicholson's character and his response was he created a 2nd character for him and Burton killed off both of them.
Jim brown was a man using hands instead guns
Loved your reaction. I think you got all the right cues from this movie. It's silly and cartoony and it's just meant to be escapist fun. Well done.
*Indian Love Call*
*Performed by Slim Whitman*
*That's the music what kills Martians.*
20:20 😆This has to be one of the funnier parts of the movie. It's like they want to harm this pack of cub scouts, but _specifically_ by dropping the Washington Monument on them. So if _they_ start to move, the _monument_ has to move.
That boxer who took out multiple Martians with his bare hands was the late Jim Brown, legendary running back for the Cleveland Browns🏈 !
the song is called Indian Love Call by Slim Whitman, its great
Has anyone ever delved into the possibility that the Martians in this movie were the inspiration for the Minions in Despicable Me?
Originally Tim Burton wanted all the Martians to be stop motion animated as an homage to Ray Harryhausen. But facing time and budget limitations, the producers convinced Burton that CGI was the way to go.
I enjoyed your review 🎄Have a Nice Weekend 🎼💫✨❣️
Great sci-fi movie with an all star cast! It doesn't get better than this! Fun watch and Dasha you even got two "That's what she said" jokes in there! Lol 😂 great reaction Dasha I truly enjoyed watching. ❤💛
Nice Xmas Tree 🌲 Unfortunately our dog always manages to knock over our Xmas tree, so we only got a little tree to put on the table now.
a dove is a pigeon so youre technically not wrong
Navajo Nation luvz Dasha!
19:34 thats an awfully big ask Dasha. Lol
Slim Whitman was a very popular yodeler in the 70s. I remember the commercials on tv for his albums and my next door neighbor when I was a kid was a huge fan.
im pretty sure that tim burton remade the movie ‘Plan Nine From Outer Space’, with the technology and story telling methods that were available at the time… and i loved it. 😂
Ack ack...ack ack ack ack. Ack!
This was fun.
And now the US government is trying to bring back the UFO hoax. Better version than from my childhood. In the 50s there was a movie where the Martians kidnapped Santa Claus ;-)
The rumor is he was told he couldn't kill a star like Jack Nicholson so he got two roles and both were killed.
It easier to understand when you realize the Martians and Humans, everyone, are nothing out stupid, vicious a**h***s played for laughs.
A pigeon is a dove. Some people distinguish them but not everyone agrees which is which.
It's confusing because a white pigeon is a dove, but a mourning dove is a related but different bird
Mars Attacks! (1996) has a lot of popular American actors
Jack Nicholson
Pierce Brosnan - James Bond
Rod Steiger - movie IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT 1967
Michael J. Fox - movies BACK TO THE FUTURE
Christina Applegate - TV comedy series Married with Children
Tom Jones - popular British singer 1960's
Jim Brown - action movies 1960's - 70's
Pam Grier - action movies 1970's
Joe Don Baker - action movies 1970's
Thanks !! (Dave Strong)
Don't forget Jack Black from such hits as School of Rock and the voice of Kung Fu Panda
There's always more popular movies that Dasha can add to her suggested Movie List@@vincegamer
thanks for reaction
It's different from Independence Day
Dasha honey, do a Christmas reaction to "Dr. Suess: How The Grinch Stole Christmas" from 2000 with Jim Carrey as the Grinch🎄
Great job Dasha! You got another Tim Burton film under your belt. Good movie and a fun reaction. Keep up the great work.
I've always thought they were saying "AFLAC AFLAC AFLAC"! LOL
😊
Merry Christmas Dasha
That adiós amigos was too cute dasha, You must learn to speak spanish 😍😉
@22:59 That’s what she said 😂😂
Excellent reaction!
the spaceships are based on a 1950's classic sci-fi: Earth vs Flying Saucers
Dasha! 😂
Guy are so clueless - just like the one that keeps screaming to nuke them! :P
Love this movie.Jack Nicholson is so good. I think the story goes that he wanted the role of the Cowboy guy just to add some fun to his work. Something like that.
Not quite, the studio told Tim Burton that he couldn't kill Jack Nicholson in the movie so Burton wrote in another role for Nicholson so he could kill him twice just to spite the studio.
@@88wildcat thx. nice
Check out "Spaced Invaders".
Funny movie
This is a great parody of old 50s sci-fi movies.
Indian love call- slim Whitman
