"Nice planet. We'll take it!"

'We come in peace' is not what those green men from Mars mean when they invade our planet. This star studded cast must play victim to the alien’s fun and games in this comedy homage to science fiction films of the 50’s and 60’s.

Movie Trivia/Goofs

Martin Amis worked on the script for Mars Attacks! He said, "I rather liked the film, though it contained not a word I wrote."
Movie Goof (continuity error): When the general says that they have to attack with that nuclear blast shit, and shouts; "It already is war!" and the president responds; "Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!" you can see the generals clipboard change place from under the generals arm and to the desk and back again.
The scene where characters are wandering through a collection of old neon signs was filmed at the "Neon Boneyard", located on property maintained by the Neon Museum, a non-profit organization in Las Vegas. Many of the signs in the collection were donated by the Young Electric Sign Company (which constructed many of the casino signs and were originally salvaged for parts), and are slated for restoration and incorporation into outdoor exhibits. The "Boneyard" has been used in a number of film and TV projects, and is open for tours by appointment only.
Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When Donald Kesler's head wakes up inside the alien space-craft, we can hear a steady heartbeat. However, when the camera pans out, and we are able to see the heart to the left of the screen, the heart is beating much faster than the speed the audio is beating.
