    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The actors performing as the Martians were virtually blind when the Martian heads were in place, so they had to be talked through their actions.
    • Goofs
      In the opening scene, when Sherrif Hoxley is getting a bottle of soda pop out of the machine and talking to Russell on his radio, reflected in the window over the machine are two rather-tall palm trees, trees which are not native to Big Bean, Illinois.

      • Blaznee: Well, let's see. We got a torqued-out digi-framus, our mega-spaz redundancy pile is on the blink, and it looks like we bruised our boo-boo.
