Do not watch this movie on television. Rent it! The jokes are too fast and too subtle to get in a single viewing with commerical interruptions and no ability to rewind and double-check a gag. Like the orginal "Airplane" the funniest parts of the movie take place in the background. If you blink or miss a phrase, then you will miss the joke.
For example by 1998:
Japan defeated and annexed the Soviet Union in nuclear war;
Britain became America's 42nd State;
the monarch formerly known as Prince Charles is the host at an amusement park called "Limeyland"
Isreal and Egypt (?) Saudi Arabia (?) are conspiring to rule the world; and
NIKE stands for "National Indian Knitting Enterprises"
In short, rent this movie but be quick with the rewind button.....
