Somehow, there is even more Ho Yay than the movie.

The planes-on-wires aren't very convincing, either.

Wow, the graphics are shit and the manual is the size of an average paperback since the story's All There in the Manual, but the music's pretty good for the platform.

What it just is is a cheap audio recording playing over Jaws. Mostly, it is just cheering on the shark for killing the humans and berating Roy Scheider for killing the shark at the end, among other things. Makes for a bit of Snark Bait.

Widely hailed as a brilliant show, starring Steve Martin reprising his role as Neal Page (and banjoist for the soundtrack) and Jack Black with a surprisingly nuanced performance as the curtain ring salesman (and guitarist).

The makers of it know nothing about the source material, so they just assume it's a quest to find the missing 25 letters of the alphabet. For ages 3 and up.

Most of the in-game characters are too stupid to do what you say. This is seen as a glitch by many when in reality it was very intentional.

There's absolutely no bowdlerization whatsoever, and as a result the Moral Guardians flip out and parents become horrified at the books... and yet, they are continuously sold to the people who are into that sort of thing.

[up][up] So, basically, Marvel Vs Capcom minus Capcom?

[up]The deaths and cannibalism are excised from the story, and the ending is as happy as can be. Fans of the original story and the survivors, as well as most decent human beings, react negatively, but the soundtrack has many Breakaway Pop Hits. Basically, in a few years', the soundtrack is the only thing remembered, all of the songs on it becoming standards.

FLCL, the John Lennon album.

The story is heavily Bowderized with the cannibalism removed entirely. They find civilization within an hour of the movie led by a talking dog. They all live happily ever after.

The entire movie revolves around super-powered aliens learning to drive. It is actually pretty funny but does poorly with the intended demographic.
