Super cool, super funny and super uh...? Well anyway, really good spoof movie. The whole story is like taken from Star Wars IV only that it´s all wrong....Lord Buckethead is very cool. The little aliens are really funny. Special effects were surprisingly good. One of the coolest scenes ever made must be when the little aliens chase the good guys in a supermarket with flying food carts !!! Yeah I know, pretty wacky. All actors are kinda unknown except for Chris Elliot that we have seen in movies like "There´s something about mary".
I just love this one...I give it a good 9 out of 10 !!

Lord Buckethead (yes, he really does have a bucket on his head) goes on a rampage in small-town America as he and his handful of little helpers are on the lookout for "the princess and the secret transmissions". But apparently they've landed on the wrong planet ! What follows is a rare and surprisingly funny spoof on the "Star Wars"-trilogy. Buckethead, the Darth Vader of this story looks like something out of a Monty Python-picture as he roams the countryside. It's not always on target but when it is, the humour is so innovative, crazy and refreshing that with the low budget in mind one can't help feeling very impressed over Todd Durham's piece of work.
This film is bar far the best Star Wars spoof.
Why? Because it's played completely straight through-out. It is very low budget (which adds to the appeal) but the actors are all spot on.
It's vital to have a knowledge of Star Wars, generic 50s/60s Sci-Fi B movies and Monty Python.
The plot is basically that Lord Buckethead, through a slight error whilst chasing the Princess who's stolen some secret transmissions, ends up on Earth convinced that the Princess is somewhere in small town USA. Strangely the locals are none the wiser.
The film reaches its climax with Lord Buckethead chasing the two heroes and a large scale battle between the Army and Lord Buckhead's spaceship with it's Death Ray.
Best line - "Seize the fritters!"

Also known as Gremloids.
Isn't very clever and certainly not a riot of laughter, but have a funny premise (a Darth Vader-esque looking for the rebel leaders in Shelby, North Carolina) and some moments.
That guy as the protagonist and Paula Poundstone as the mistaken 'princess' are so miscast here.
The best is Chris Elliott taking the preposterous script and getting the best of his scenes as an 'alien expert', all snark in front of the camera.

Let me say, this movie's a hoot, I would even go as far to say it's almost 'Plan 9' quality. I know... I know, that's a big thing to live up to, but believe me, it does so.
This is the ultimate example of how committed low-budget film-makers are. The aspect ratio switches between 1.85 and 2.35 all the time, which I presume is due to a grueling hardship to get the film finished.. even with different types of film stocks. Even Ed Wood didn't go that far.
I will reveal nothing about plot details, but I will say that it has one of the best surprise endings that I've ever seen... far better than the Sixth Sense. Man, It's one of those moments where you just wish you could erase your memory and re-live it all again.

- Trivia"Lord Buckethead" attempted to promote his movie in the UK by standing as a prospective MP for Parliament in both the 1987 and 1992 General Elections. Representing the "Gremloid" party (by which this movie is known in the UK) he stood against Margaret Thatcher in her Finchley constituency and somehow got 131 votes. Five years later in 1992 he stood against the then PM John Major in Huntingdon and got 107 votes. In 2017, 25 years later, he stood again against then PM Theresa May in Maidenhead and got 249 votes.
