they didn't even fire half the weapons. most of them stood around. also, a sniper would have been posted given the fact they posted a General to Greet the Ambassador. also charging in with bayonets or simple to close distance would have been more effective than standing there. you don't really see the soldiers firing their weapons. a fool would have not given their defense forces Ammo or even posted a sniper to lay low until things go wrong. the aliens also would have likely done more research to realize that Doves are a Symbol of Peace; the most realistic explanation is that they picked the most Arrogant Candidate for Ambassador. if they had no time to research then it was still arrogant for the Ambassador to order his men to wage a massacre. need a more realistic first encounter than this, not even the conquistadors were this aggressive initially.

In this instance the aliens we're smart in their strategy to eliminate the human leaders that remained. You have to keep in mind that it's war, the art of dception was well used here and unfortunately the human leaders did not consider that they would use mercy as a weakness to kill their leadership.
This is the first film ever, I laughed so hard off, I became short of breath.... It started already in the first 5 minutes. My friend and me watched on video then. When the burning cowes arrived, with the comment of one of the neigbours..."Neigbour, barbeque? Whe had to stop the film, and had the laugh about it for over 15 minutes on end.... Alway when I see parts of this film, I still get a smile.
I was four years old when this movie came out on vhs. I saw the cover and wanted to see it because it looked like a silly little movie, and it absolutely horrified me. I haven't seen it since then. But anyway yeah I live in the town where this scene was filmed, which is cool. I can go to the dry lake bed in ten minutes and think "Mel Brooks made a movie here"
In regards to the tanks. I had a few friends as extras in this movie with the Tanks in the DC scene. So the film production rented from 2 companies, one out west and the other outside of DC. The movie was going for that 1950s/60s look so wanted anything from that Era. The tanks used in here are T55s and M41, same with the DC scene. (Ive been to the place outside of DC and road in the T55 from the film.) Funny notes on production in the DC shots. The secret service came out to make sure no gun barrels were pointed the the capital, even if they were demilled. The general shooting the 50,(in the DC attack) is just shaking the gun, they added the effects in post shooting. If you look at the original cards you notice the us army is the late 50s early 60s sateen look.
I choose to believe that they exist in the same continuity. 2200, after humanity had recovered from the Eugenics Wars, and defeated Skynet by breaking free from the Matrix somehow, saw the peaceful exploration of space, by a military star fleet. By 40 000, there was not much left to explore. In between, around 2552, the exploration took a back seat to conquest when the military took control of the government using a provoked alien attack as justification. Because of the perennial war, the scientific method was lost to history, so that by the time of the Emprah, all technology was operated in a cargo cult fashion. (Like copying code from Stack Overflow.). And the ghastly Spartan II procedure deteriorated to Ultramarine and similar when it was adopted by the Sardaukar.

Some have said that in observing people walking dogs, the dogs making a mess, and the humans cleaning up after them, they would assume the dogs are the leaders. (In some cases, that may be true.)
As a kid I always thought the aliens didn’t know what the creature was and thought the humans were trying to harm them so that’s why they started killing the soldiers .

I haven't watched this since it came out, looks like I need to watch it again! 🍿🎬😊
In reality, birds were used as weapons in all other galaxies, so the bird was taken as a threat, and they just did what they had to do.
It was just a trope to make the aliens look more like jerks, because that's all they were doing. They came to invade, but have some fun first.
Jesus: *they came in peace*
Dove: oh hey guys ima just see the ambassa-
Ambassador: *you caused this.*
One of my most favorite movies!
I had the bubble gum cards as a kid and I have to say this is one of my favourite spoof movies along with Galaxy Quest.
2:13 Woah indeed
3:11 -3:28 my favorite part
Seeing him die was very satisfying. 😂
I remember watching half of the movie when I was a kid and yet got a chance to watch it again when I got older, loved it :)
The aliens were my favorite part about the movie, including their laser guns XD lol.
A dozen of soldiers with artillery and machine guns couldn't hit 5 standing aliens and a stationary flying saucer... Realism= -273%
This reminds me of those fear the walking dead solders
Would not have been a very long movie then. Realism? Why not mention that the Martians don't exist.
"If they bring us the wisdom of the stars, we welcome them."
"And if not, we'll blow them up."
"I am Moron."
"Alright, we'll blow them up."
@@urelpinnock2071 yes for some reason they couldn't bomb the hell out of the zombies or just run them over with tanks that reach up to 60km speed easily
Back in those days, I was scared of this
I knew this was going to be hilarious when I saw the cows running on 🔥
So much for "We come in peace" scene.
😂 yep
If aliens ever arrive and say they've been learning about us before making contact then we're fucked.
Some argue that the best proof for the existence of intelligent life in outer space is the fact that they haven't contacted us.
Some have said that in observing people walking dogs, the dogs making a mess, and the humans cleaning up after them, they would assume the dogs are the leaders. (In some cases, that may be true.)
Damn this was a good pick, you'll see what im talking about in a few months
Still waiting to see what you're talking about lmao
Lol
I come in peace= I want your planet
Little did humans know that releasing a bird in front of diplomatic delegates is considered one of the worst possible insults and threats in Mars.
As a kid I always thought the aliens didn’t know what the creature was and thought the humans were trying to harm them so that’s why they started killing the soldiers .
That damn bird is to blame for everything!
I agreed
Damn! Those Martians are hardcore lol
If there language has a word for peace it has a word for conflict.
DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES!!!!
That came outta no where
A bat started the coronavirus, and a dove started the Martian invasion.
.........
Nope I think you'll find the US caused both.🤣🤡😉
Loved the Chihuahua picking the hand….for dinner later 😂😂😂😂
First film i worked on as a vfx artist. great times.
wow, neat! :)
what software / hardware was used to do this?
@@backslash68 Alias Power Animator for modeling, Softimage 3D and Caricature for animation. ViewPaint for texturing. RenderMan for rendering. Matador for compositing.
@@backslash68 Hardware was every SGI model under the sun.
@@toddjones1480 something in your answer tells me that you were one of the vfx artists for this...
Love this film. Love Slim Whitman's , "Indian Love Call" being Earth's secret weapon. Laughed so much. Gakgakgak, gakgakgakgak.
Martians: "We come in peace"
Random Bird: *exists
Martians: We were good, but now we're bad
This movies cast is stacked for absolutely no reason lmao. Troll masterpiece
1:41 that's gonna provoke some angry emails
Can say one thing, Tim Burton has a lot of friends in Hollywood for his films. This is just one example.
One of my favorites
loved Mars Attack !
Such an entertaining movie. Loved the granny who defeated the Martians with her music.
Mars Peace=Russian Peace
@@eugene9603 Do not run! We are your friends. (Bang bang!) Do not run! We are your friends. 😂
@@Kraliezec ,putin khujlo.
Anytime you hear that phrase, better break out the heavy artillery..
Klaatu barada niktu!
I knew birds were evil. Secret government spies. I will never declaw my cat
My favorite movie and scene of all time
That's a classic, love this movie.
This is all the humans fault. On Mars, the dove is the most deadly predator ever.
Giant predator birds. An alien race
This movie scared me big time when it came out in the 90s! I must have been nearly 8 when I was first saw it at my friends house during a sleepover!
