Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


"It's an intriguing mix of genocide and modern dance!"
Joel Robinson


Film watched: Fugitive Alien

This is the song written for the train chase,
This is the chase: Rocky and Ken,
He tried to kill me with a forklift! Ole!

This is the song right after the train chase,
This is the fight: Rocky and Ken

Now strap in tight, and let's get set for action,
To launch the ship out of the sand!
He tried to kill me with a forklift! Huzzah!

This is one of the nine Sandy Frank Japanese films originally used for a KTMA episode that was riffed again a few years later on Comedy Central.

The Comedy Central version contaings these tropes:

  • Running Gag
    • Joel and the Bots break into the "tried to kill him with a forklift!" song several times.
    • J&TBs are convinced everyone in the movie is named Ken.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha... YOU'RE STUCK HERE!"
