Trivia
Plagued by several box office failures, Empire Pictures was suffering major financial issues at the time. During production of this film, director David DeCoteau received a communique from studio executives saying "the bank has just shut down the entire company and seized everything. But they don't know you're shooting this picture, so just keep rolling and get it in the can before someone finds out." DeCoteau didn't let the actors and crew know because he didn't want them to worry. He said it turned out to be the most enjoyable of any film he'd done. They all had a great time making it.

Goofs
At the 4 minute point, Marvin is driving a car with right hand drive as used in the United Kingdom, but he drives in the right lane as in North America.

Quotes
[after the sexually violated Wesley won't come by free will to the aliens' home planet to impregnate the female aliens there]
Xenobia: Please, think about the fate of our planet!
Wesley: Oh, sure, just like you thought of what this stuff would do to me. You tampered with my life. You violated the "prime directive"!
Drax: What?
Wesley: Didn't you guys ever see Star Trek?
Drax: Well, I liked the first two seasons of the old show, and a couple of the movies were okay, but...
Xenobia: What is this "prime directive"?
Wesley: Ah, it's a rule they had about not interfering with people and cultures on other planets... like you did.

Decoteau's best

I haven't seen everything DeCoteau has directed, but yes I have suffered through most of his work -- even those cursed puppets. I don't really know why I put myself through this, but sometimes you get rewarded, and this is one of them.

Prior to seeing this film, my favourite was The Brotherhood (2001). But this one is just a bit better. It's got everything great about the 80s. Lots of naked boobies for those who are into that. Shirtless Billy Jayne and his painted-on jeans for me. Good music, pop-culture references (without going overboard like the Scream franchise), a plot, halfway-decent dialogue, and even effects that didn't look completely like leftovers from another film's trash. Most importantly, no minutes-long sequences of people walking down corridors in slow motion. We can all celebrate that, can't we?

This film doesn't deserve the horrible score it has received. It's not Shawshank, but it's certainly worth 6/10.
