When the 1954 movie Killers
from Space became public domain, the folks at Refried Flicks came up with
the original idea to use the corny footage but give it a redubbed soundtrack and
plot. The result is akin to "Mystery Science Theater 3000," but not
quite as funny. During the reign of the Bush administration, the military
plans to rid the United States of gay people by luring them to Sodom, Texas and
dropping a bomb on them. The bomb goes off course, landing in Inbred, Texas instead,
and the Enola Gay Basher crashes. Its pilot (Peter Graves) should be dead, but
shows up back at the base all of a sudden gay with amnesia. Military doctors
finally learn that he was abducted by aliens who hit him with their gay beam.
From the planet Uranus, the aliens are the protectors of all homosexuals in the
universe, and tired of the current threats to gay people, they have decided to
make everyone on Earth gay. The aliens also admit that they have always
been the ones who make people gay, showing a list of names in line for the next
gay beam. (Hillary Clinton is on the list.) When the giant beam finally hits,
the pilot's wife Ellen (Barbara Bestar) comes out with, "I could sure munch
on a muff right about now." Since most of the characters are men, most
of the jokes are more gay, rather than lesbian. Stupid to the core, this is a
crazy movie that is good for some laughs, but new footage spliced into the old
turns out to be not very funny, and it all goes on a little too long. |
