| 2 | * J. D. Shapiro's CreatorBacklash resulted in two slices of hilarity, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20100331182718/http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/movies/penned_the_suckiest_movie_ever_sorry_MdXedZpTMWJmfpw80Xc7aO/0 this "apology" article]] and a speech at the Golden Raspberry, most notably when he recited quotes from critics. |
| 3 | -->'''J. D. Shapiro:''' The critic for New York Times said 'Battlefield Earth is about the extinction of the human race, and after seeing this movie I'm all for it.' From the Banana Daily they said 'I'd like to call this movie a train wreck [[InsultToRocks but that's not really fair to train wrecks. Because people actually want to]] '''[[BileFascination watch]]''' [[BileFascination a train wreck]].' And my absolute favourite, '[[ClusterFBomb This is the worst fucking piece of shit fucking movie I've ever had the displeasure of fucking seeing]].' That was from my mom. ''(raising the Razzie)'' Thank you very much. I'm gonna keep this in my belly button. |
| 4 | * When the tribals are giving Jonnie AsYouKnow exposition in the film's opening minutes, there's a brief interlude where they go past a long abandoned [=McDonald's=]. Their talk of the "gods" riding "chariots beneath golden arches, where food would magically appear" has never made a drive-thru experience sound more epic or more ridiculous. |
| 5 | * The Bar scene: |
| 6 | -->'''[[EvilIsHammy Terl]]:''' When you were still learning how to ''spell your name'', I was being trained, '''to conquer galaxies!''' |
| 7 | * Perhaps the only legitimately funny (and good) part in this movie: |
| 8 | -->'''Terl:''' You will soon be relocated to a new mining site, and if any of you get any bright ideas about escaping, just keep in mind that although you know nothing about firearms, I certainly do. I graduated top marksman in my class and I can kill any one of you at over a thousand paces. ''[to Jonnie]'' Tell them what I've said.\ |
| 9 | '''Jonnie:''' ''[to the other humans]'' [[TranslationYes We try to run, he'll kill us]].\ |
| 10 | '''Terl:''' ''[stunned]'' [[LampshadeHanging That's it?]] |
| 11 | * From the book, a slimy Tolnep reporter is named [[UnfortunateNames Roof Arsebogger.]] And another, the Tolnep representative to Earth, is called [[CardCarryingVillain Lord Schleim.]] Both of those names have intentional implications. |
