Iron Sky: The Coming Race

So, this is a thing.

This has got to be a mock trailer.

Man, I don't know where to start...

It's a sequel to Iron Sky. Which was a movie about Nazis on the Moon.

Ah, so it's a riffable comedy.

I'm actually wondering how this can reasonably be a thing, considering the last movie had the world leaders causing nuclear war.

EDIT: Huh. Upon actually watching the trailer it appears that it happened deliberately? Or at least the President intentionally started it?

Looks like this is going to be more about those crazed "lizardmen controlling the world" conspiracy theories David Icke created now, especially given that the Palin-expy and the Nazi look like lizard people.

Still no way in hell I'm watching that, I have brain cells to save.

I am so going to see this film. Just because it appears to not take itself seriously.

I'm gonna hunt down the first one and watch both of them.

Come on, it's a movie with Hitler riding a T-Rex. How could I not watch it?

I recall upon the release of the original film, one of the complaints was actually the They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot feeling some people had in that the movie is a nonsensical comedy, whereas the concept of "'Scientifically advanced Nazis attacking from the moon" would make a pretty awesome serious Sci-Fi story.

This is mostly because one of the first teasers (and the most famous) has actually a pretty grim and serious tone:

It ends with "Get ready to kick some Nazi arse! Send us your money!" How serious were they really expecting it to be?

Even from the seemingly grim trailer it is a bit hard to consider this a "serious sci-fi". The first big clue is Scientifically Advanced Moon Nazis. Say it out loud. Sounds kinda silly doesn't it. Scientifically Advanced Moon Nazis launching from the moon from their conveniently Swastika shaped Moon Fort in Nazi UFO's none the less. The creators literally ripped that idea from a series of nutty conspiracies about WWII. Everything about it screams Deliberate B Movie. That and parable points out the final thread of that thought is kinda silly in and of itself.

Never mind the several other bits of advertising, posters, and trailers that rapidly and notably undermine the seriousness of the pseudo grim trailer.

Space Nazis attacking from the moon sounds about as serious as Sharknado. Except better funded.

I now want to see Space Nazis from the Moon fight Sharknado.

It's official... the producers are now out to make a movie even crazier than Sharknado.

BEHOLD, JESUS DUAL-WIELDING MG42 MACHINE GUNS!!!

AND LIZARDMAN PUTIN!!!

EDIT: I give up on trying to add embedded youtube videos... it never seems to work.
