love those sparkly gold helmets!!!


The scene where they bump off Farnsworth is one of my favorite moments. I think more movies should feature contract killers wearing fancy motorcycle helmets.

Definitely memorable in a bizarre way.

I suppose "health and safety" must be important. Get your target injured but not yourself.

Sparkly gold motorcycle helmets were true 70's fashion.

I thought the point of the helmets was to obscure their identities. They did lower the visors. Also, Farnsworth yelled at them a couple of times to show him their faces.

Dude, you need to put a Spoiler Alert in your Subject if you're going to divulge plot points.

Btw, whey did they bump him off? I never did understand that.

To take over control of the company, so they can limit the amount of new technology World Enterprise produce (as well as some serious $)
