Invasion of the Neptune Men/YMMV

The film:
"(singing) "Space Chief failed miserably and tried to cover up his shame.""
 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: Again, the Hitler Building.
 * Designated Hero: Space Chief helps save the kids from the aliens at the beginning, but does pretty much squat after that. He doesn't even get to finish the Neptunians off.
 * Of course, as his secret identity he does beat them. In fact, his civilian version is a lot more useful in every respect.
 * He more or less becomes "Too Little Too Late Chief" by the end. He shows up after a few dozen buildings have been blown up, probably hundreds dead, and even then, he takes his sweet time actually taking down the ships.


 * Dude Not Funny: The supposedly kid-friendly film uses loads of footage taken from WWII bombing raids (the uncut version even includes footage of an atomic bomb). Best Brains in particular found this appalling; it is the reason why the film's riffing is comparatively harsh.
 * Apparently, what really put them over the edge was the infamous Hitler Building.
 * Godwin's Law?
 * Fashion Victim Villain: "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...Your costume is ridiculous!"
 * Narm: Space Chief's first appearance, the "Roji-Panty Complex", and the classic case of misplaced stock footage where the Neptunians blow up a giant mural of Hitler.
 * The Scrappy: Given the lack of parents, and the omnipresence of the kids, they fit this trope as well.
 * Special Effect Failure: Space Chief's bulletproof flying rocketship car cardboard-mockup-finmobile-on-a-first-generation-keijidosha-chassis and the Neptunians' "pirogies of death".
 * Also, the use of WWII Stock Footage becomes even more painfully obvious thanks to a building façade being...a bit out of style, to say the least.
 * What an Idiot: A very average summer storm apparently presents enough of a threat to the electro-barrier that the good Doctor orders that the city's main defense be turned off.
 * WTH Costuming Department: One of the few areas where Space Chief actually has a leg up on Prince of Space is the fact that his outfit isn't quite as ridiculous - but it's still very silly looking. Ditto the Neptune Men; not nearly as goofy looking as the chicken men of Krankor, but they're pretty bad.
 * When not in their clunky space gear, the Neptunians can be told apart from normal humans by wearing extremely heavy eye shadow and lipstick.
 * Unfortunate Implications: The kids are a bunch of misogynists, and the movie salutes them for it.
 * It was early 1960's Japan; a misogynistic double-whammy.
