Moonwalker: Difference between revisions

* [[Deus Ex Machina]] -- It's not like we ever find out why Michael has the ability to turn into a superfast car, shielded robot with energy cannons, or a giant spaceship. It would seem to be the result of his [[Make a Wish|wishing upon a shooting "lucky star"]], but why does it conveniently appear every time the chips are down?

* [[Direct to Video]]: Bizarrely, in its ''home country'' - Lorimar Motion Pictures had planned to give it a North American theatrical release, but Michael's manager (and along with MJ the film's executive producer) Frank DiLeo wanted such a high percentage of the box office returns that it was cancelled.

* [[Faceless Goons]]: Mr. Big's men.

* [[For the Evulz]] -- Mr. Big in the movie wants to get all the children of the world high on drugs...why? Because he wants to be famous...apparently.

* [[Shout Out]] -- Frankie's men have guns with cool LED ammo counters obviously inspired by the then-recent ''[[Aliens]]''.

** The logo also looks to have been very much influenced by the font used for the title of ''[[Tron (Film)|Tron]]''.

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]] -- All over the place in the climax of "Smooth Criminal".
