Directed by: Dean Parisot
Starring: Sigourney Weaver, Sam Rockwell, Alan Rickman, Tim Allen, Tony Shalhoub, Daryl Mitchell, Robin Sachs
Visible crew/equipment: When the crew is escaping with the beryllium sphere, there a shot where you can see the filming crew at the top left corner of the image. (00:53:55)
Suggested correction: Having watched it carefully, I can't see any film crew in shot at any point in this sequence.
Factual error: Laredo drives the ship out of the starship docking station and scrapes the main hull on the walls. This would not be possible without either scraping the wings first, as they are much wider than the main ship, or turning nearly sideways, which they clearly don't.
Sir Alexander Dane: Could they be the miners?
Fred Kwan: Sure, they're like three years old.
Sir Alexander Dane: MINERS, not MINORS.
Fred Kwan: You lost me.
Trivia: The Thermians says that they are from the Klaatu Nebula. Klaatu is the name of the alien who visits Earth in "The Day the Earth Stood Still"(1951).
Question: At the end of the film, Malthazar says "The ship was a model as big as this - a very clever deception indeed." Does he mean that the Thermians now accept they were decieved by the "historical documents", or does he still believe the "documents" were real and the Captian was deceiving Sarris by pretending to admit they were false?
Chosen answer: He thinks that the Captain was just tricking Sarris and the "documents" were real.
