is axl foley a science fiction fan ?


he mentions his suspicions that they're all robots in part 1. in part 2 he makes a jedi force joke 10 years after the original star wars and in part 3 he's so interested in a ride called alien attack he sneaks into the control room to watch, and as luck would have it meets some hot pussy doing so.

Wasn't Lucas in this too?

Eddie was (still is?) a huge Star Trek fan and was almost in the 4th movie (before everyone remembered Superman III lol) .. I guess he's probably also a fan of other scifi stuff so it obviously seeped into his movies - (maybe he's referenced Trek in certain films as well? it wouldn't surprise me to imagine he might've demanded Shatner be in ShowTime lol)

that's right. showtime is a favorite of the more recent murphy films.

yes lucas makes a cameo. more so because landis always seems to have director cameos in his films. ray harryhausen, joe dante and john singleton also make a cameo in this. but axl has a scene with lucas and is in one shot with him.
