Yes Nicholson played 2 characters. Story has it that the studios were upset that his president character died in the movie, so Burton wrote him a second character, just to ceremoniously kill him off again to spite the studio.😂
A few fun facts: Jack Nicholson accepted the role without reading the script because he had such a good time working with Tim Burton on Batman.
Also [SPOILER WARNING] Tim Burton was repeatedly instructed that he couldn't kill off Jack Nicholson's character in a movie so he decided to cast him in 2 roles in this film and kill him off in both.
Thats odd. Didn't his character die in Batman?
@@brainstorm9560 kinda shoots a hole in his central thesis there. Lol.
@@brainstorm9560 I suspect that was what led to him being told that - if he was actually told anything like that.
I have seen this comment on killing JN twice before. But I cannot find a single interview where it is confirmed
The old Grandma was the case worker in beetlejuice. There's so many people in this movie, everybody is somebody.great reaction
I didn't recognize her, that's so cool she's in this too!
Silvia Sydney had been hit by a car, but Tim Burton wanted her in this. He waited for her to heal and had her character in a wheelchair. So sweet. ❤🌹🙏🏽🕯
I have an autographed picture of Sylvia Sidney that she signed to my grandfather in the 1930s. She is a legend. Here she is in an early Hitchcock film. th-cam.com/video/JIdDMLkdExg/w-d-xo.html
An alien invasion with the humour of Gremlins. Outstanding movie I loved it.
The singer is Tom Jones, who is one of the most famous singers there ever was. He still performs. Whenever he has a concert the women have always thrown their panties on stage at him and they still do to this day. It was it was a good movie. I really enjoyed it when it came out. Thanks for reacting to it. 😊
When you're Tom Jones it's not unusual to be loved by anyone.
The problem is that, much like Jones himself, those ladies have aged... now they're throwing Depends!
The Mar Attacks trading cards from the 60s were infamous for their violent content. They depicted various people and animals being dispatched in gruesome ways by Martian invaders. Parents were outraged. Which only made the cards cooler to kids. Last time I checked, complete sets went for hundreds of dollars. Probably a lot more now. The movie caused a resergence of popularity and Topps published a number of Mars Attacks comics.
To this day it amazes me just how much Tim Burton stacked this cast.
This started off as a series of traiding cards. Many scenes were depicted on the cards as well.
Also, the Martian's eyes were later used in Jeff Dunham's character Achmed the dead terrorist.
The very first Tim Burton movie I watched as a kid. Lost the count of how many times I watched on my VCR with my mother. She didn't liked as much as I did at the time, but she still enjoys to watch with me once in a while. Also Mars attacks was a series of trading cards from the 60s; so most of the scenes and jokes and visuals were based on these cards
I think for me this is one of Burton’s craziest films, and so that’s really funny/ neat it was your first experience with his style
They did a really good job with the look matching the cards.
Jack Nickolson, Jack Black, Annette Benning, Glenn Close, Natalie Portman, Michael J Fox, Sarah Jessica Parker, Martin Short, Pierce Brosnan, Danny Davito, NFL legend Jim Brown, Tom jones, Christina Applegate, Pam Grier, Ray J and so many other famous actors and actresses in this movie. Its literally one of the most star studded movies ever made.
I’m think both A+ and B+ yes or no
Rod Steiger! He plays the war-mongering general. In my opinion, one of the funniest characters in this movie.
"Annihilate, Kill, kill, kill". Jack Nicholson surely knew what talent he was playing against.
Steiger was a Hollywood legend, one of the first method-actors along with Marlon Brando. Steiger had a long career but he struggled with bipolar disorder and had long periods where he was too sick to work, so his career never reached the height it should have.
I am glad Tim Burton cast him in this role. A great actor with a big heart and a great sence of humor, even though he mostly played heavy, serious roles.
Check out the 1970 film "Waterloo" where Steiger plays Napoleon, and frickin' owns every scene he's in.
It has violence, but its not really bloody at all. I always find that interesting. And I love how strange and dark humored this movie is. Total classic.
That movie was such an unexpected pleasure. It managed to hit all the classic tropes while being continuously surprising
I saw this in the theater with a bunch of friends on my 18th birthday, and we were just giddy and couldn’t stop laughing, high on sugar and life from my party. I’ll always love this film for that, haha
One of these days I'll work out why, generally, no one in the US liked this at the time, here in the UK it absolutely landed, perhaps the humour was maybe too British, even though it was a US production. It's an utter blast to watch and I love it dearly.
It was the timing of the release of the movie. Independence Day had just came out a month or two earlier and was the biggest hit movie of the year. Everyone was expecting the same kind of over the top summer blockbuster type of movie instead of a Tim Burton type of movie.
thats ironic since Big Ben gets destroyed in the film lol
Underrated. One of the funniest movies I've seen.
This movie scared the crap outta me as a kid. I know it's a parody now, but as a kid I was horrified because it seemed to me like a apocalypse scenario with bad writing. Now it's one of my favorite horror comedies.
My brother and I thought this movie was hilarious. We'd go around chasing each other like the aliens, but our "killer song" was "It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones.
OMG! Jack Black's grandma is being played by the Maitlands' smoking caseworker in "Beetlejuice"!
I saw this film first run in the theater with my then 8 yr old daughter. For the LONGEST time afterwards, we would "Ack, Ack...Ack-Ack-Ack!" at each other, whole 'conversations'. Lots of fun.
My daughter was already a big Tim Burton fan. She was like a cheerful Wednesday Addams, a Lydia from "Beetlejuice".
I actually remember the Topps trading cards for Mars Attacks, from my own childhood...
It breaks my heart the new generations dont know or recognize the legend of Martin Short :(
Martin Short is my favourite brand of comedy. I always love seeing people appreciate him :)
@@Stephie_L Inded, i love his time on SNL
Is it sad that I remember the Ed Grimley cartoon? 😅
I can't stand him. Never found him funny
Not even in 3 amigos ? @@elusiveDEVIANT
This movie is so weirdly crazy and funny and that’s exactly why I love it. I love how it has such a stellar cast but it really doesn’t take itself too serious. Also grandma is the best character.
I watched that movie like million times back in my childhood. It's a great movie! Tim Burton did an amazing job!!! 😍💖
I'm glad this film is getting more attention. It's such a ridiculous and great parody. All those top actors dying in minutes.
This movie traumatized me as a kid, the design of the aliens was the scariest thing I'd ever seen. The comedy went over my head, i was too young to get it. I had nightmares, and if I saw the movie cover in blockbuster my heart would literally jump. Was legit scared of aliens for years, I still kind of am lol
Lmao you are never too young for comedy. It sounds like your family didnt help you understand things.
The best part of this movie is that Slim Whitman's yodeling saved the day. There was a rumor that some at NASA wanted to play "Indian Love Call" from one of the rovers after it landed on mars, just in case..
That would have been HILARIOUS lmao.
At the time, Independence Day was bringing back this classic sci-fi movie trope, giving then-cutting edge CGI and serious pacing to a B-movie concept like landmark destroyers. So that's the environment that allowed Mars Attacks to exist.
I don't know what it says about me as a kid... but I was never scared of the aliens. This was one of my favorite films as a kid. When we went on road trips our van had built in TV and VHS and this was a staple. We were always watching it. I remember watching this at like 4-5 years old, laughing my twisted little butt off.🤣🤣🤣 Signs though... that movie gave me nightmares for 2 weeks straight. My family still references this movie, randomly talking like the aliens, ack ack ack, or singing the song that kills them, singing the one the guy on stage is performing. All of those things still go around during family reunions. Then again I also grew up watching Tim Burton.
The aliens reminded me of the stereotype of the average American tourist
"has word not gotten out to these poor performers" XDD, It's TOM JONES!
If I remember correctly, the hotel that Jack owns was a real hotel scheduled for demolition. They were able to use the actual demolishion for the destruction scene.
The hilarious detail about the ambassor is that when he takes off his cloak, he has a championship belt underneath.
This movie is so strange in the best way, I'm so happy that Byron survived and made it home to his family
"The most interesting opening credits I've ever seen"
Bro it was literally just the cast 😂❤
I really did think it was the dove that set them off, but then seeing how much fun they were having in destroying them all, it made me think they just wanted any reason at all to go ape. When I first saw this it was with my sisters, it scared the crap out of them but I had a ball. It was so over-the-top and unexpected from anything involving aliens that I'd ever seen I just kept watching whenever it came on. I liked the vibe, the design of the aliens. Gotta be honest, I was 100% on their side to destroy.
Can I recommend if you never saw it The Witches with Angelica Houston, The Pink Panther with Steve Martin, and War of the Roses.
Martians from Mars attack are one of my all time favorite villains. They are not just generic evil invading aliens. They are just jerks and I guess trolls is better term just having fun doing this evil stuff and for no other reason because they can.
This film was made from the Trading Cards (like Baseball Cards with Gum) that came out sometime in the early 60s but were pulled from the market after being judged too Violent for kids. I recall getting a few before they were pulled. They fetch a high price now on Ebay as Collectors cards! Wish I still had the ones I got but they're long gone.
One of my favorite parts of seeing people react to this is the reactions to finding out the cast
Actually, back in the early 1980s, When Howard Stern was a WNBC, He did a bit about Martians invading Earth, and Slim Whitman using his singing voice to defeat them. I'd sure like to find a copy of that bit.
"Do the martians have two sexes like we do?" says the most androgynous person ever lol. I love that joke.
13:09 That's funny because, over a decade ago, Jack Black was initially cast as Green Lantern, another superhero. Black was eventually replaced by Ryan Reynolds when the movie got made, but it's interesting to imagine if it happened.
I have had nightmares about the robot martian GLIDING woman for TWENTY FIVE YEARS. (Watched at a friend's house, fell asleep and woke just in time for HER. I'm actually comforted by this rewatch, what with advancements in cgi it's much less terrifying)
One of the greatest alien invasion movies out there. Both trolling the alien invasion genre and being an apex alien invasion movie in genre too. If you can, check out the Mars Attacks comics. Those are epic!
I was 14 when this came out and got free tickets to a pre-viewing by this job I interned at. Best. Film. Ever!
That sounds like an amazing experience!
OMG r u serious? Glenn Close is one of the biggest actress in Hollywood. Shes very tallented. 8 nominations for oscar
My cousin had a 1:1 statue of one of the Martians, the first time I visited their house as a child I ran into it while looking for the bathroom and almost choked to death on a cheese cube.
It's a great send up of all those late 50s early 60s b movies. They even used late 50s early 60s military vehicles, guns and uniforms.
Another more modern sci fi comedy movie that follows late 50s early 60s sci fi b movie formulas and tropes to the letter is Evolution.
more like sci-fi & tales from the crypt, type comic books from the 50's & 60s, but you're right about the movies too.
To answer the question you pose towards the end, this movie came out when I was in my 30's, so I knew exactly what they were going for when they made it.
It is both an homage AND a parody of 50's-60's low-budget sci-fi flicks. Also reminiscent of the 50's-60's "all-star cast" comedy movies such as "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World."
So it was a huge throwback for this kid who watched a lot of those lame sci-fi flicks as a kid on TV. I thought it was perfectly insipid. And who doesn't love grandma?
The real satire of this movie is satirizing how Americans would actually respond to an invasion like this. Which... _glances back at the last 2.5 years_
Yeah, seems accurate.
I've heard that much of this movie is based on a weird line of those collector cards you buy in blind packages that usually also contains a stick of gum.
Both the title and a lot of the visuals comes directly from that. Like the burning cows in the beginning.
And I don't think those collector cards were based on anything in particular more than the whole trend of invasion Media at the time.
Kind of weird inspiration and you end up with a weird movie. 😅
My favourite Burton movie. Epic.
I remember watching this movie when I was around 12 and even though the CGI is not the best I shat my pants when watching this. For the longest time I didn't wanna watch any other alien movies and I certainly haven't rewatched this movie since. This is going to be an interesting reaction. Maybe I won't be scared anymore
Haha let me know how it goes!
Oh, I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who was traumatised by this film. It was the strangest thing rewatching this and viewing CGI of the aliens as an adult because as a kid they looked freaking REAL 😂 Their devil eyes and massive heads have haunted me for years haha.
@@Stephie_L @Thor Reacts
The movie itself was pretty funny not gonna lie but the damn physical appearance of the aliens is still terrifying and weird. Whoever came up with the idea of how they should look like did a great job in my eyes, cuz if I had been in this movie and seen these aliens I would have ran away so fast.
@@lostpdreams Apparently their design was taken from this 1962 card series. Just google "Mars Attacks Cards"...you'll see it's an exact match.
It's literally not even remotely scary. If you were scared by this silly and goofy as all hell movie, you were a tremendously stupid kid.
Thank you mars attacks for giving us the hit game 'Destroy All Humans'...thank you
This movie is brilliant! I often re watch it is very fun!
The hotel collapsed by the Martians in Las Vegas was a real casino, called The Landmark. Tim Burton filmed the demolition of the hotel and used it in the film. Also, the junkyard of old Neon signs is a real place. It's part of The Neon Museum, and it's a popular tourist attraction in Vegas.
I watched this movie when I was very young and the martians were the stuff nightmares are made of for me for YEARS 🤣🤣🤣 It took me a lot of time to rewatch the movie as an adult 🥲
“They came in peace….”
Releases dove.
The property this film is based on are 60s era bubble gum trading cards. They were awesome!
Okay, so this is a Tim Burton movie. In Batman Returns, there are some in-jokes to Edward Scissorhands -
*SPOILER ALERT*
- The Penguin is the perceived version of Edward Scissorhands.
- The last two nights out are inspired by Edward Scissorhands, with Edward playing the villain, and Jim playing Batman, including getting demonised innocently. The Ice Princess = Kim. Danny's van being driven recklessly = The Batmobile being driven recklessly. The Inventor's Mansion = Arctic World in the finale of both.
So, I think Mars Attacks has some in-jokes!:
*SPOILER ALERT FOR BATMAN, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, AND BATMAN RETURNS*
- The grandma actress played a case worker in Beetlejuice i.e. a case worker for alien entities.
- Jack Nicholson played The Joker and wipes the television camera screen with his hand in Batman, so that he can appear i.e. The Martians (the villains) wipe the television camera screen so that they can appear.
- The Esmeralda actress from Edward Scissorhands is here i.e. the person who warns others to expel the alien-type entity - The Martians replacing Edward here.
- Danny DeVito played The Penguin i.e. the way The Martians are defeated is with a sound frequency, this being the same way Batman defeated The Penguin by sending the penguins armed with bombs back to Arctic World.
- Sarah Jessica Parker played Dolores Fuller in Ed Wood, the girlfriend of Ed Wood, and here, she again plays a girlfriend (I've never seen this film, by the way).
a good classic sci-fi film in 1956 is Earth Vs the Flying Saucers. The look of the saucers in this was taken from that movie.
I think my Dad had slightly desensitised me and my little brother to violence and horror in movies (I definitely remember seeing things like Predator, Tremors, Poltergeist before I hit double digits) so this was just funny when it came out. We definitely went around hitting each other with things yelling “ACK ACK ACK ACK!” while my Dad cackled away at the ridiculousness of the movie.
The score is one of my favorite parts about the movie too.
Lisa Marie portrayed the martian disguised as a woman to infiltrate the White House, she also played Vampira in Tim Burton's "Ed Wood"
The alien design is actually based off a bubblegum trading card series from the early 1960s.
18:57 you're kinda right. For whatever reason, they thought the dove was an attack, but my favorite part of that, is they also took it as a sign earth was not surrendering peacefully. They thought earth knew it was an invasion and wanted to surrender peacefully, and "we come in peace" actually meant they come in peace, as long as earth doesn't fight back. Of course, it was all a lie anyway
The actress playing the disguised martian is Lisa Marie who was Tim Burton's girlfriend at the time. You saw her playing Ichabod's mom in Sleepy Hollow.
For such a star-studded cast, this was a weird damn movie but super entertaining all the same.
Yes! I've been waiting for this. One of my top five favorite movies.
It’s so strange and awesome haha
Yeah, Mara Attacks was a famous line of collectible trading cards from the Topps company in the 60s. They were absolutely over-the-top: one featured a Martian destroying a kid’s dog. Ironically, the wrappers are the most valuable things, because virtually none survived.
THANKS for this reaction !
i always love your enthusiasm
😁👍
I recommend checking out the Original Red Dawn movie, it's definitely a classic.
On my list!
omgggggg you dont understaaaand!! my sister and i looooved this movie as kids!!!!! to the level i learnt to do the aliens noises hahahaha my fave tim burton movie hahahaha
omg...thor is too young to remember the donuts commercials with the finger pointing up...im gonna go cry cause im old..skjdklashdfkdshfkldhjf
"is that natalie portman?" he says after at least 3 natalie scenes and her name in the credits hhahahahahah
have you ever seen snakes on a plane? when you were talking about hte mix of people you want to see die and the ones you want to survive i immediately thought of that movie.
You've probably already know this by now but the female bus driver was Pam Grier. Her brother Rosey Grier played in the NFL.
Slim Whitman FTW!!
The Martian Girl was played by Lisa Marie Smith.
I was this movie in the theater back in the day and I absolutely loved it. When my brother, uncle, cousin and I saw this in the people in the theater. My mom and aunt saw Scream on the same night. My aunt won tickets to see Scream off our local radio station. Awesome reaction Thor.
Grandma was in Beetlejuice
5:16 You may want to check out Sister Act with Whoopi Goldberg.
Was thinking that too 🤣
this is definitely a fun movie and a favorite
Never realized this was a Tim Burton movie. I remember it made an impression on me as a kid. I remember it as fun and exciting, it was just too wacky to be taken as reality, but I think I found some of it scary. Pretty sure I had nightmares featuring those aliens.
My childhood favorite movie
Excellent pick!
Fun fact: this movie is actually based on a series of trading cards of the same title.
I remember seeing the trailer for this movie for the first time. It was self-consciously 95% actor introductions.
We find these aliens kind of funny because of the way they make fun of people and the twisted way they kill some people, they are funny bad guys, a bit like the 'Gremlins' or the 'Minions'
Mars Attacks was based off a graphic trading card series. I’m here to help answer your questions buddy.
The writer explained why the Martians attacked. They are as$holes. Pure and simple
I LOVE this movie - it is so madly crazy, lots of famous actors and really shows it loves to the 1950s tradingcards that it is based on. ANYONE thinking it is a deep and serious film is sadly misstaken. It is the SF version of Beetlejuice. It is just a fun flick no need to think just watch and enjoy
When I first saw this on tv as a child I had nightmares 😳 😂😂😂
I was a kid when my dad put this on and this movie gave me the worst nightmares because of the design of the martians and the fact that they were turning people to skeletons. I couldn't look at them or this movie. My dad, to this day, keeps telling me that it's a funny movie.
Saw a preview screen at a local theatre the day after Thanksgiving. I was pretty young at the time. It gave me nightmares. Even to this very day…
I remember watching this at Glastonbury in 1996 at an open air cinema Independence day was on same bill They came out at the same time
Also: watching this movie in black and white makes the violence so much more grisly.
90's Tim Burton and Danny Elfman delivered a combo of images and music that gave me actual chills in the theater many times: Batman (1989) - When the Batwing flies in front of the moon, Batman Returns - Selina Kyle suffering a traumatic brain injury as cats swarm over her, Nightmare Beyond Christmas - Jack Skellington falling on to a statue in a graveyard, and the opening theme of Mars Attacks as the ships fill the screen. IMO Mars Attacks really isn't a very good or funny movie, but it seems to have had a big impact on people who were probably too young to be watching it.
I remember seeing this in the theater and cheering for the aliens.
Great Glen Close movie is Fatal Attraction. She's also in Air Force One with Harrison Ford.
Could you tell but the actor that plays Richie is the kid in E.T.
Such a great gem of a movie 😂 amazing reaction breh!
13:31 And that's Christina Applegate on the right
hi Thor i've got a movie you should watch its called snow white and the huntsman. it's basically like the original snow white, but there's no singing and there's action in it. the person who plays snow white is Kristen Stewart
This is a perfect kids movie
You'd have to have been a fan or collector of Topps Mars Attacks trading cards to understand the total bizzar craziness that movie plot has. That's what this movie's theme was based on.
If I remember correctly, the trading card game for the Mars Attacks series more or less heavily implies that humans came from the martians breeding with the primitive primates. They pretty much left humans on their own for some time, and pretty much grew disgusted with their creations
On the dvd special features, you can change the soundtrack so its all completely in the Martian language 🤣🤣
There's probably a couple Futurama episodes where heads kiss.
