3. I have a hard time liking that movie

People say it's a camp classic, and on paper they're correct ("No! Not the bore worms!"), but that clown Sam J. Jones just ruins it for me. What does he do besides watch dumbly as every scene he's in is stolen out from under him? If they'd gone for, say, the young Kurt Russell instead, it would have been a whole different ballgame...

4. Pretty good for a live action comic

There's a scene where they are wiping the professor's memories and the display shows scenes of Hitler and Nazi Germany. The Klytus character says "Now he showed promise" and he just deadpans it.

I don't know why, but I always just bust out laughing every tme I see that scene. It isn't the subject matter that makes me laugh, I think it is just the delivery and timing that get me.

6. He's Got Bette Davis Eyes

And Joan Crawford eyebrows.
