Did they enlist their grandmothers to make their costumes and urge them on by telling them to " sew like the wind"? I bet it took a prethora of thread. ;-)

The Germans being there is actually pretty interesting. The date they gave us at the beginning of the movie was 1916 which was during WW1. In WW1 Germany tried to convince Mexico to ally with them and start a war on the US border as a way to keep America busy so that America couldn’t focus as many resources on fighting Germany, basically a distraction. It didn’t work tho.

What really happened was that the viewers were so impressed by the film's picture quality and smooth framerate that several of them enthusiastically remarked afterward about how lifelike it was, saying it almost looked as if the train would roll right out of the picture and into the theater. Nobody panicked or ran away, they were just really impressed, and the story mutated in the retelling like a game of telephone.

"Galaxy Quest" is basically a re-imagining of "The Three Amigos" which is a re-imagining of "The Magnificent Seven" which is a re-imagining of "The Seven Samurai." It's an inception "inception." And that's not to detract from any of these amazing films. They are each wonderful in their own right. Also, while Randy Newman wrote the songs, Elmer Bernstein composed the score for this film and he lovingly styled it to resemble his _other_ epic score for "The Magnificent Seven."

Steve Martin used to order banjo stuff from the music store where I used to work until it went out of business. I was the shipping department and on one order I wrote " !! VIVA LOS AMIGOS!!" on the packing sheet. I'll never know for sure, but I like to think he saw it.

May I suggest making one more that has both goodnights on one tee. - "Can I have your watch when you are DEAD?" ... VERY meme-able, VERY quotable movie

I grew up singing all the songs from this movie. My dad was a big fan of comedies like this and ghostbusters. The golden era of straight comedy. (as in, everyone's playing it straight, although the situations are ridiculous) My dad played guitar and piano and we'd sing all the songs. Good times.
