Mike, Servo and Crow prove that the whole silly affair involving a [[FlatCharacter one-dimensional]] scientist turning into a lizard creature via a moon rock makes for a great target of mockery. Note that, rather improbably, this is actually the ''fourth'' movie the show featured about a guy named Paul turning into a monster, preceded by ''Film/TheCrawlingHand'', ''Film/TheProjectedMan'' and ''Film/Werewolf1996''. Shares many odd similarities with ''Werewolf'', in fact - guy named Paul, Southwestern US, Native American folklore, ditzy girlfriend, confusing reference to Literature/{{Dracula}} in the dialogue...
