Killer Klowns From Outer Space (12) (Wiki IMDB)
Directors: The Chiodo Brothers (Wiki)
Leads: Grant Cramer, Suzanne Snyder, John Allen Nelson
1. It's impossible to feel sympathy for the obnoxious humans. So you end up rooting for the Klowns to win.
2. Footage from the film is played backwards in the trailer to give the impression the film is more exciting than it actually is.
3. The female protagonist spends the entire second half of the film wearing only one earring.
4. Balloon Animal Sniffer Dogs. Sentient Popcorn. Fatal Laser Puppet Show. All great names for bands that are languishing in unused purgatory.
5. The theme song is pure surf punk big top mania...
6. Every invasion/takeover horror film needs its nay sayer. In Killer Klowns John Vernon comes close to perfecting this role by playing a skeptikal drink sodden cop who likes to rough up the no-good punk kids that populate Crescent Cove.
7. The male protagonist is called Mike Tobacco. His surname is never mentioned in the film.
8. The clowns come from a planet where technology is far in advance of our own, except in the field of dental hygiene.
9. The film opens with the lead couple at make out point. In an inflatable dinghy. In the back of a truck.
10. The tagline was "In space nobody can eat ice cream." Seeing as most of the Xenomorphs seem to be angry women, perhaps Ripley should have just offered the Alien Queen an industrial drum full of Hagen Daas and an iPod stuck on Enya.
