"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

→ View All

Movie Goof (errors in geography): In one of the Kansas scenes, the camera pans across the farm and surrounding areas. The faint skyline of the University of Kansas (in Lawrence) can be seen, though the scene apparently takes place elsewhere.
Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): SPOILER: At the end of the movie Granny and Richie are awarded Congressional Medals of Honor. The CMH is only given to members of the armed forces - they should have been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
In the scene where Martin Short is seducing a woman (actually an alien, played by Lisa Marie), he brings her into a secret room used by John Kennedy with a fish tank. The fish tank contains almost the entire cast of Finding Nemo including Nemo himself, Gill, Dory and Bubbles (no sharks, shrimps, whales and pelicans though.) The coincidence occurred probably because these species of fish are the most popular and colorful types of salt-water aquarium fishes.
The little dog owned by TV hostess Nathalie Lake (the Martians later swap their heads) is actually owned by Lisa Marie, the actress playing the Martian Girl.
