Mars Attacks!/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Byron Williams beats the Martian ambassador to death with his bare hands through the ambassador's Plexiglas helmet in an impromptu boxing match.
    • Even better: He defies the movie's Anyone Can Die nature by surviving and then making it across America on foot to get back to his family.
  • The First Daughter's deadpan line after the Martians wipe out Congress in their second slaughter on our planet's soil:

First Daughter: Guess it wasn't the dove.

  • Or, just watching all those Martian heads pop like pimples inside their helmets, to the lilting refrains of Slim Whitman.
