This comedic double-feature is bursting with laughs, and includes:
NOTHING BUT TROUBLE: In the strange burg of Valkenvania, a monstrous small-town judge (Dan Aykroyd) hangs passersby for speeding and conducts his court from a mansion situated on a toxic dump site. When his bungling deputy (John Candy) brings in a couple of New York yuppies (Chevy Chase and Demi Moore), his twisted joy is gruesome to behold. The hapless duo try to flee -- only to run into several life-threatening pitfalls and traps in the process. Aykroyd plays several parts.
MARS ATTACKS!: Director Tim Burton unleashes MARS ATTACKS!, a vicious, affectionate, brightly-colored homage to 1950s alien invasion movies. When a shiny silver flying saucer lands in the Nevada desert, a group of skull-faced Martians exit the gleaming craft. Although they claim to be peaceful, they promptly "vaporize" a gathering of unfortunate Earthlings, kicking off a bizarre high-tech war with wild special effects. This studiously campy sci-fi spoof, based on a series of Topps bubble-gum cards, gleefully parodies not only schlock B-horror movies, but also overblown blockbusters such as INDEPENDENCE DAY. This subversive film is helped along by an all-star cast including Jack Nicholson in dual roles as both a clueless U.S. President (with First Lady Glenn Close) and a Las Vegas sleazebag. The film follows the wacky WAR OF THE WORLD--like proceedings from the points of view of numerous colorful characters, from the inane U.S. Press Secretary (Martin Short) to a trailer-park family (Lukas Haas and Sylvia Sidney), singer Tom Jones (as himself).
