    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      At around forty-nine minutes, Press' line "bangin' cocktail waitresses two at a time" was borrowed from The Godfather (1972) from the scene in which Moe Green explains to Michael Corleone his public mistreatment of brother Fredo.
    • Goofs
      The crew holds real-time video and radio conversations with Earth while in orbit around Mars. This would be impossible without technological advances. Despite travelling at the speed of light, radio waves would need anywhere from several minutes to almost an hour depending on where they are in their orbits with respect to each other to travel from Mars to Earth and vice versa.
    • Quotes

      [At a brothel, the scene of a grisly death]

      Press Lenox: So, you didn't see nothing, you didn't hear nothing, you don't know nothing, right?

      Seedy Motel Clerk: They come and they go. You know what I mean, they come - and they go.

      [Starts laughing]

      Dennis Gamble: Well, that's hysterical. Why don't you sit your ass down.

      Seedy Motel Clerk: They come and they go. You get it?

      Press Lenox: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. Here you go!

      [Press pushes the wheelchair-bound clerk rolling down a nearby hill]

    • Alternate versions
      DVD release includes some deleted scenes. Three of them are just longer, alternate takes of scenes in the film: Patrick's sex encounter with the debutante and her sister; a longer dance scene in the strip club; a longer version of Patrick's attempt to slid his 'tongue' into Dr. Laura Baker's mouth. The fourth scene shows Patrick going into the apartment of a girl he picked up at a club: when he discovers that the girl is actually a transsexual, he kills her.

    Enjoyable sci fi film

    If you liked the first species film you will like this, it's not as good but it's more or less the same just a bit cheaper. The sci-fi story is cool and I like the series and will watch the third one to see if it's any good.
