- TriviaJon Lovitz was forced to quit Saturday Night Live (1975) to work on this film. Originally the film was to be shot during the summer break between seasons, but when shooting overlapped for two weeks, Lorne Michaels told Lovitz he couldn't miss a single week on SNL, so he had to make a choice. Convinced that the film was going to be a box office hit, Lovitz stayed on until the production wrapped. Lovitz attributed the film's abysmal box office performance to the film being edited to be more family friendly.
- GoofsWhen Dick first meets the killer mushrooms, his hair changes inconsistently between shots.
- Quotes
Emperor Todd Spengo: On a scale of one-to-ten, in terms of... universe-dominating greatness, where would you place, say... oh, me?
General Afir: A ten sire, most definitely.
Emperor Todd Spengo: [musing] A ten? Hmmm...
[becoming more annoyed]
Emperor Todd Spengo: Well yes, of course a Ten. What else would you think? A six?

Do I look like an idiot?
For a movie on a planet of idiots, I enjoyed this extremely. Outstanding performances by Jon Lovitz and Jeffrey Jones and even more-so by Eric Idle with is memorable line "I'm the most intelligent one here and I'm an idiot!" It was also good to see the Stanton Brothers [Don and Dan] together in this film. They are certainly moving along from their Gremlin 2/T2 spots
I found the little mushroom guys in the sewer reminding me of Super Mario Bros. and such, but found this film extremely enlightening. If you have the chance, I highly recommed watching it, it is so choice
And finally, my favorite scene is when Jeffrey Jones is first thrown into the dungeon and encounter that funny rat
