Gayniggers from Outer Space (1992)

Thanks for the memories!

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This film is nothing short of perfect. Its a shame that this film was overlooked by the Academy but unfortunately that's the reality we live in. In every aspect of film making, the film is flawless. I cannot recommend this film enough.

This is hilarious! It's the funniest science fiction comedy film that I've ever seen. The title of the film and of the characters are comedy genius!It deserves to be remade as a high-budget feature film. Imagine how great it would be with Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock and Will Smith playing lead roles!

When I was first told about this film, by a friend who (in my opinion) had impeccable taste when it came to movies, I thought it was just a joke. I must admit the mere name, awful as it is, caused me to almost judge this cinematic book by its horribly-titled-cover. I cannot tell you how happy I was to ultimately be proved wrong.I found a copy, on a mere lark, at my local blockbuster... thankfully, here in Miami, Florida. I thought I would have a bit of fun when I rented it. When I got home, the first five minutes didn't really do anything for me... but the more I watched, the more I became hooked. By the end of the film, I was not only a fan but someone who would try to convince others to see it. I will mention no plot points nor narrative high points as I could not bear to have another viewer prepared to feel the rush I experienced, for the first time, as I raced from plot point to plot point in the film's mad dash toward its thrilling and fulfilling conclusion.This is no mere movie, but a "film." A film worth watching... with all of the accolades (from its fans), all the bells and whistles, and, to some extent, unfortunately, all of the somewhat distracting pretensions inherent to such an cinematic accomplishment. People may compare it to Plan 9, to Manos: Hands of Fate, to the first two Star Trek films, to Fellini and Anderson, etc., as well as many, many others... I've since heard them all. But the comparisons, I fear, are dreadfully lacking. Lacking a beauty, a commonality, a tenderness found in all humanity. To be completely honest, a true substance most rare.This experience deserves not only a single, but multiple (and I mean multiple) viewings. The more you watch, the bigger fan you become.How could this film have been ignored? It is truly a remarkable effort, beset by both the hardships and hallmarks of independent film making and the glorious triumphs of the creative genius inherent to all other major studio films. It is the wonder, the thrill of adventure, that is the foundation of what we in America (and, to some extent, throughout the world) call a remarkable movie.If you find a chance to rent this film - take that chance. If you are lucky enough to find a copy for sale - buy it immediately. If not, you will most certainly regret the decision. Maybe not now, but someday.

i abhor all these comments on whether this movie is supposeed to be "funny" this is an honest and sincere portrayal of an intelligent and sensitive culture that you simply failed to understand. the subtle drama of being gay, being black, and being in outer space. this poignantly short masterpiece captures better than any other movie i've seen the true, and compassionate nature of higher beings from a more advanced sexual realm.obviously this was never meant to be comedy, and could never be mistaken as such except by crude, illiterate, non-homosexual earth people. perhaps to you, the idea of an advanced civilization based on higher concepts like gay love, and rectal exploration should be a joke. but to the civilised universe, where triforce anal probes and flavored lubrication jelly form the basis of enlightened philosophy, these things are a way of life, and this movie is anelegant portrayal of that life.
