1. The Special effects?

The special effects of the movie aren't really that bad. It's mostly the nonsensical plot and the pretty bad acting. Watch it as a comedy though and picture Terl and Ker as the stereotypical bumbling cartoon bad guy duo and it becomes something completely awesome.

Yeah, it certainly is humorous and comedic, but only from our perspective.. their actions and the way they conducted themselves was largely due to their characters ego and overestimating their ability to outsmart the "man-animals".

As for the special effects, irrelevant, they were adequate and served the purpose.

As for the harriers still working after all that time, yeah, I imagine that's unlikely.

The utterly retarded tilted camera shots. There is a reason people don't do this when making films; it looks *beep*

The sudden "We're going to destroy their home planet" plot development and how remarkably simple it turns out to be.

Changing Ker into a villainous lackey instead of an ally.
