Things I learned from Space Mutiny


In the future, the inside of spaceships will look just like 20th century factories, complete with concrete floors and brick walls.

Laser guns can kill you, but the effects are only temporary.

Old guys with fake beards have daughters old enough to be their wives.

In the future, everyone will use IBM 8088 desktop computers.

Electric floor buffers explode when crashed into each other.

No matter how big and buff a man is, he can still scream like a little girl.

Aliens love plasma balls from Spencer's Gifts.

In the future, parties are common but the exact same thing happens every time.

In the future, people will have their choice of uniform: Jumpsuit with huge football-pad type sleeves, or spandex.

Future scientists have discovered how to grow astroturf rather than manufacture it.

Future spacecraft design will include never running out of oxygen because of onboard fires and no damage due to explosions.

A big, buff guy with huge arms can fit into a uniform worn by a really skinny guy.

In the future, individual weapons will be ridiculously tiny, and handheld bazookas will reload themselves. But flamethrowers will consist of old propane bottles painted silver.

Evil guys like having a silly laugh and will use it at every opportunity.

Chase scenes involving floor buffers don't really work.

Space pirates always announce that they are space pirates.

In the future, people will have a poor grasp of 20th century history leading them to put "SS" logos on their uniforms.

In the future, people will have no shame.

In the future, there will be a shortage of products to combat hair frizz.

I guess I'm 2 and a half years tardy to the party, but I thought I'd kick in a few nuggets of wisdom that I too learned from watching Space Mutiny.

Mutineers will torture their captives in a vain effort to gain information that their co-conspirators already possess.

Of course 20th century history receives short shrift in future classrooms: after all, most people in the future will be completely ignorant of 20th century dental equipment.

A generation ship on a decades-long journey between star systems will pass close enough to other vessels or inhabited planets that a complete stranger can board the ship, and that the ship is constantly under threat of pirate attack.

If you're in command of a spaceship, you won't notice that several of your highest-ranking officers are amassing a crew sympathetic to their mutinous desires right under your nose, nor that several of your crew have died or been frozen under mysterious circumstances (although to be fair, it's hard to notice that a person has died when she springs back to life within minutes).

If a woman blames you for the death of her friend and mentor, but you reveal that her friend was your best friend too, she will almost immediately forgive you and sleep with you.

In the future, clothes will be made of technologically-advanced fabric that will instantly conform to the body of whoever wears it, even if it was recently taken from another person who was much larger or smaller.

Space pirates habitually threaten and/or attack spaceships whose firepower is ridiculously superior to their own.

For as awkward as it was to see Meat Haystack make out with Betty White, it was even words finding out they were married 9 years when this movie was made.

In the future...the hormonal sex drive of your grandmother will be insatiable!
