Best sci-fi movie trivia of 1999

Trivia: Senator Grebleips, who appears when the Queen of Naboo speaks to the senate, is an alien from "E.T." making a cameo appearance. This is after Steven Spielberg ('Grebleips' is 'Spielberg' backwards) included some "Star Wars" references in "E.T."

Trivia: In the entire film, there are only two "homegrown", real humans - Tank and Dozer. They both have names of machines.

Trivia: The Iron Giant has only 53 words of dialogue in the entire film.

Trivia: Immediately after General "Bloodbath" McGrath is killed by Loveless we see a little dog approaching the dead body and looking with curiosity at the device in his ear. This shot resembles the famous logo of the RCA VICTOR company .

Trivia: The song Andrew listens in the player is from an opera named "Rusalka". This opera is based on a water nymph who wants to become human for love. Just as Andrew.

Malaver

Trivia: In interesting contrast to Guy's frequent ranting about how he, as the only unnamed character, will be the first to die, in the sequence where Sarris enters the command deck and shoots everyone, Guy is the only crewmember who is NOT shown getting shot.

Trivia: The cyclops thumb in the bar, who says, 'Woo-hoo' is in every thumb movie.

Trivia: The termination code for Seth is "NCC170182461VIR" - whoever came up with that probably also likes "Star Trek" since the USS Enterprise's registration number reads 'NCC-1701'. That the following numbers add to 10 in pairs of two (8 2 and 4 6) while 'VIR' is the Latin word for 'man' (which 99% of the film's cast are) might simply be a coincidence - but then, perhaps not... (01:08:56)

Trivia: This movie is based on a scene from the original Muppet Movie, where, while sitting around a campfire, Gonzo sings "I'm Going Back There Someday," and looks up at the night sky (though nowhere in any other Muppet show or movie does it say he's an alien).

Xofer

Trivia: Ray Walston, who plays Nineenert, played the original Uncle Martin in the TV show "My Favorite Martian." In the movie he says his antennae are always giving him problems and everything is in black and white and that his gum had lost its flavor in '66. The original TV show was in black and white and its final season was in 1966.

Bishop73

Trivia: Was filmed in the same neighborhood as the original "Halloween." Additionally, the gymnasium used for the Halloween dance is the same gymnasium used in the original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" movie.
