Jack Nicholson's agent didn't want him being in this movie because he thought it be bad to be in a film in which he is killed off. But Nicholson wanted to be in it. And just to spite his agent, he got killed off twice.
Really shows how disconnected these agents are from reality. Like in what universe would a moviegoer watch a movie, see an actor get killed on screen, and be like "oh wow he died, I guess he's a bad actor. I'll never watch another movie with him in it ever again!" Kanye was right.
The trading cards this movie is based are demented AF too. The whole doing experiments on humans bit like what they did to both Brosnan and Parker is straight out of the card set.
Yeah, Blind Wave, you need to look up the original Mars Attacks trading cards from the 50's. They were very controversial with parents because of the graphic nature of the drawings of the creepy, skeletal Martians (which the movie reproduced perfectly) and the gory killings and experiments that the Martians performed on their victims. The flying saucers, giant robot, cows on fire, disintegrations of the people and the dog, and the disections, were all in the cards.
As a kid i was scared of this movie yet i still had a crazy love for it. It's really a special piece of media. You can see they didn't take it seriously and just had fun at every level. I don't think it's a "bad" movie. It's intentionnaly crazy and campy and makes fun of almost every clichés of this kind of story and movies of it's time.
i remember watching it as a kid and thinking it was a perfectly serious movie lol, i now realize its absolutely ridiculous and i kinda hate it. But i ll always remember it tho, its unbelivably memorable. i ve seen it like 15 years ago and i remember a bunch of scenes, i saw man of steel 1 year ago i dont remember one scene from it so they had to do something right
My favorite fan theory, I have heard is that there was two teams of Martians and that's why they turned them red and green, kinda like paintball. And they were just seeing who could kill how many and such.
It's definitely one of those gems that just got lost and forgotten. Like Galaxy Quest. You can watch it a hundred times and you're still happy to get to watch it again.
Tim Burton: I am going to make the silliest level of stupid-fun sci-fi film you have ever seen. Most of Hollywood: In, in, in, choose me, I'll do it, hell yes, in-in. 😂
Mars Attacks gave me nightmares as a kid. Was actually afraid of aliens for most of my childhood because of it. It wasn't until I was an adult that I found out it's a damn comedy, haha.
@@st0n3p0ny Its because Wales being one of the Nations of the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) is often ignored in media in favour of the others, mainly England. So Firstly, its often surprisingly pleasant to see anything Welsh in Film...And Secondly, The fact its the Welsh, who are in fact the Native British. The Welsh are even like it if they ever come across another group of people from Wales on holiday! Its an amazing thing to see.
@@LexTrent what the... looked it up, apparently he moved to America in the mid 70s when the Labour party was elected and wanted to tax him at 98%.... I guess his European accent should have given it away.
When Byron appears at the end and everyone found out he survived, I remember the theater breaking out into applause. My appreciation of this movie only continues to grow. Loved this reaction!
@@Silver-rx1mh True. Those cards are demented as hell. The whole bit with what happened with Brosnan and Parker's characters getting experimented on is a straight homage to those cards. The original trading card set is still highly collectible even now too.
Movies that broke the Blind Wave crew: Eric - Dragon Ball Evolution Aaron - The Room Shane - The Star Wars Holiday Special Calvin - Mars Attacks Now we just need to see what movie breaks Rick.
This is one of the best examples of how entertaining a movie can be, of all time. It is a masterpiece in my opinion. I remember when this came to Sweden and my family rented it. Everyone liked it. As a child i loved it. It has been one of those movies i have watched many, many times over the years. It is a example piece of what i wish more movies would be like.
I just watched this for the first time last week and loved it! Loved this reaction. Calvin seems to have been very unsure but talked himself into loving it as well. LOL
All of the bits around the aliens and their communication still make me LOL to this day. This movie is just layers and layers of sarcasm and irony interwoven.
I don’t care what anybody says! This is a great movie! I know this movie is used as a joke for people that starred in it, but everyone is freakin fantastic! I love the acting, I love the affects, and I love the comedy!
@@alucard624Tim Burton got interviewed that he said it’s like a MAD Magazine version of Independence Day. But they’re both great sci-fi movies in that year.
Considering Calvin appreciates British camp, maybe he'd like this more on repeated viewings, especially with friends. That's how I learned to love a lot of cult classics. Because this is like, Hollywood camp.
Rod Steiger won Best Actor for "In The Heat Of The Night." Also this movie was based on trading cards from the 1960's. They are collector's items now. And VERY expensive.
I auditioned to be Taffy for this movie, as I am the biggest fan in the world of Topps cards (& OPC, my Canadian version LOL) but I was too young & they made this a comedy, while the cards are pure horror in response to the introduction of the Comics Code. Topps legend Gary Gerani wanted to make this a pure horror, like the cards, then Tim Burton got the rights to Mars Attacks & Dinosaurs Attacks, & was going to make Dinosaurs Attack, but... then Jurassic Park came out, so it was scrapped & this was made as a comedy. It broke Gary Gerani's heart that this became a comedy.
This was one of those movies that was on cable all the time so I caught it so many times. It wasn’t until I was like 18 or 19 that I realized how insane it is lmao
Ok so. Eric: Dragonball Evolution Aaron: The Room Rick: Kingsmen: Secret Service Calvin: Mars Attacks Shane: Star Wars Holiday Special Do we have all of them?
Mars Attacks is a great example of entertainment factor being more relevant then making perfect sense. If you can have both, great; if you have to focus on one, you know what needs to be done.
My friend and I went to see this in the theater in our early 20's. There were about 50 other people in the theater and when the Martians started talking we laughed so hard we were crying. We looked around and we were the only ones laughing and that made us laugh even harder. They must have thought we were nuts.
I’ve watch this movie when i was 9-10 years old, i remember being so scared of it at that time, but now its literally funny, and its the first movie i watched, since that day i was trying to remember the title, then i watch your reaction to it and from the sound of the martians I remembered. So thank u guys for this 🤍.
This has been one of mine and my dad's favorite films for the longest time. We quote it and people think we're nuts, and I love that you reacted to it.
It's an old story - Boy meets Girl, gets kidnapped by martians, and crash as their decapitated heads declare their love and kiss each other. Greatest love story ever told!
I like to think of this as Tim Burton’s attempt, immediately following Ed Wood, at making an Ed Wood-style movie. And he absolutely nailed it. I also definitely think the actors just really wanted to work with him. It says a lot about his rapport with actors that so many of them have worked with him multiple times.

One of my favorite bits of trivia from this movie is that Jeff Dunham used a pair of the martians' prop eyes for his character Achmed the Dead Terrorist.
Fun fact about this movie: The explosion of the tower building Jack Nicholson’s secondary character owns was a real building and a real implosion. I’ve lived in Vegas my whole life, and vividly remember when they were shooting here and it was big talk that they would be using the upcoming implosion of the old Landmark tower for part of the upcoming movie. I was so excited to see all of the spectacle related to the film. You can watch the original non-film version of the implosion online if you just search for the Landmark Hotel
I love The Andromeda Strain, but I think they need to watch Earth vs. The Flying Saucers in order to gain some insight into what Tim Burton was both homaging and spoofing.
*I’m surprised* so many people don’t know the context behind this movie. This film is Tim Burton’s giant homage to Ed Wood’s bad movies of the 1950s. The really bad cheesy 50s alien B-movies you watch at Drive-Ins. Tim Burton had just made “Ed Wood” 2 years before this and had done a ton of research on him for the movie and wanted to make his next one a homage to him, his movies, and that era of science fiction movies. The name and design of the aliens came from the 1960s Topps trading card called Mars Attacks!
God I love this movie, it is SOO over the top, plays off of every trope and cliché in the genre and does it MASTERFULLY!!! Tim Burton is just a total master of his craft. To this day whenever my daughter or mother annoy me I go straight to Martian speak!! Knaaack naaac nyaak naaak!!!
29:30 we all start swaying to that magical voice. Even my roommates asked “what are you doing man” so I turned my Bluetooth off and they too swayed with. Tom is magic ;)
I remember being traumatized as a kid, by the aliens just vaporizing people. Went back to it when I was a few years older and just dying from how funny the movie was. We don't have enough movies like this.
Please do reactions to more tim burton films, batman 89', batman returns, big fish, sleepy hollow You're dancing to tom jones was AMAZIN, i almost died laughing
So Eric had Dragon Ball Evolution, Shane had The Star Wars Holiday Special, Aaron had The Room, and now Calvin has Mars Attacks as his film that drives him insane. What does Rick have?
Yesssss! I love this film, I always enjoy this film along with Galaxy Quest, Evolution and Tremors =) I also enjoy the fact it's based on a 1962 card game.
The sound of the Martians make is a joke from the Charlie Chaplin film City Lights. It was made after talkies, but Charlie Chaplin wanted to show you could still make good movies without talking. He also wrote all of the music for it, and at the beginning of the movie, The mayor is making a speech, and Charlie Chaplin had somebody play a kazoo over the Mayors speech. Look up City Lights Mayor Speech here on RUclips. It’s crazy.
@@RynKen I think he's built up a dislike for the movie over years without ever watching it, from feeling left out of the group when the others would reference it
When Jack Nicholson was approached for this movie, he is said to have jokingly remarked that he wanted to play all the roles. In addition to being based on the trading cards (and if you can, try to find some images of these cards--the visuals are wild) and an homage to 50s alien invasion flicks, this also takes inspiration from the massive budget 70s disaster films like the Towering Inferno, Earthquake, and others where they would cast dozens of huge name (and much smaller-name but still recognizable) actors, only to have most of their characters die.
I don’t get scared in any movie now but if something frightened me as a kid then it still scares me now and this movie will always freak me the fuck out
I do like how the special effects of this movie aging actually kind of helps the 50s Sci-Fi B-Movie aesthetic feel. Cause most of the movies back then had special effects that while not great was actually not that horrible, for the time.
Jack Nicholson's agent didn't want him being in this movie because he thought it be bad to be in a film in which he is killed off. But Nicholson wanted to be in it. And just to spite his agent, he got killed off twice.
Really shows how disconnected these agents are from reality.
Like in what universe would a moviegoer watch a movie, see an actor get killed on screen, and be like "oh wow he died, I guess he's a bad actor. I'll never watch another movie with him in it ever again!"
Kanye was right.
@@Ziggopotamusyour comment has not age well unless you agree with Kanye
Talking about irony, huh?
Not to be a nay sayer, but Jack Nicholson dies in most of his movies 🤨 mostly before mars attacks
Don't mess with 90s Burton. He was on a roll!!
Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, Ed Wood, Mars Attacks, and Sleepy Hollow.
Three of those were either critical or box-office bombs.
@@TheDunnDusted better than his 2000s films though.
Some may have bombed, but they were damn good
You forgot the Nightmare Before Christmas.
@@TwilightLink77 That, Edward Scissorhands, and Mars Attacks were my childhood, (eventhough I wasn't born untill 1999.)
The "they blew up Congress" has gotten funnier every year since 1996.
It's Sylvia Sidney's laugh after saying it that cracks me up so much.
As an homage to 1950's style B-movies starring shockingly big A-list actors, Burton absolutely crushed it. This movie is great.

This cast was HISTORIC 👌
12:50 Hey look, tanks that actually work -- Haven't seen that in a while!
Big Fish is AMAZING I cannot stress enough how much I love it!!
Saw this when I was very young and was scared shtless of the aliens 😂
Lisa Marie was Tim Burton’s wife at the time and she also played Johnny Depp’s mother in Sleepy Hollow
I do like how the special effects of this movie aging actually kind of helps the 50s Sci-Fi B-Movie aesthetic feel.
Cause most of the movies back then had special effects that while not great was actually not that horrible, for the time.
This movie is pure gold.
This movie was definitely ahead of its time
