Salma Hayek also makes a cameo as the burned-out school nurse, Jon Stewart plays a doesn’t-know-any-better-or-does-he science teacher, and Robert Patrick of Terminator 2 fame is the aggro-turned-creepily-calm football coach. The film also boasts an excellent cast of before-they-got-famous teen idols, including Elijah Wood, Josh Hartnett, and Clea DuVall. The audience, however, is treated to a spooky eight-minute opening sequence that involves an after-hours staff meeting on a disappointing funding outcome and a gory mishap with the school principal (she shows up later in the film, of course, but isn’t. People in suburban Ohio don’t seem to catch on too quickly, though – it takes maybe 20 minutes into the film for one of the kids to realise something’s a bit off. As the Martians head home, Captain Bipto suggests they go to Arcturus to "help torture prisoners" this idea is promptly vetoed by the rest of the crew.įilm historian/critic Leonard Maltin gave the movie 1.5 out of a possible 4 stars, declaring it "Criminally overlong.It all makes you wonder why Orson Welles couldn't get financing for decades, while pictures like this one are produced by the truckload." The film has gained a cult following.The Faculty: scary-stupid viewing fun. The alien excrement rejuvenates the drought-stricken farmland while turning the regular green beans (for which the town is famous) into gigantic, 6-foot-tall pods this enables Wrenchmuller to save the town from greedy real-estate developers. As an unintentional gift, the Martians jettison their ship's sewage tank while flying over Wrenchmuller's field. The humans succeed in destroying the Enforcer Drone with dynamite, then offer to help the grateful "invaders" return to space. Their ship's Enforcer Drone won't let them leave, making things even more complicated. Things get worse when the ship's "hyperdriver" goes into meltdown, threatening to create a black-hole. The Martians finally realize they made a horrible mistake. (Doughnut Of Destruction), but it falls apart instead. The desperate Martians try to blow the Earth up using the D.O.D. Attempting to blow the ship up, Wrenchmuller is trapped in a paralyzing beam. He then tries to help the alien repair his ship. Kathy's new friend, a boy named Brian, captures Blaznee by hitting him with a trashcan lid. Giggywig, Ziplock, and Pez try to blow up the town's Co-Op and instead just heat up a silo of corn kernels, creating a gigantic hot-air popcorn-popper. Captain Bipto gets hit by a truck and turns a gas station attendant named Vern into his robotic slave. Wrenchmuller tries to cash in on the Martians' existence in order to save his farm. She befriends the Martians' "Scout-in-a-Can", a small robot which folds up into a sphere.

Kathy discovers the aliens when they join a group of trick-or-treating kids. The deputy tracks down the ship in order to give the occupants tickets for having no license, registration, headlights, taillight, or wheels, and going 2,945 miles over the posted limit.

The sheriff finds out about the aliens when his deputy records their ship doing 3,000 mph. Among them is the town sheriff (Barr), his daughter Kathy (Richards), and an elderly farmer named Wrenchmuller ( Royal Dano), on whose farm the Martians have crash-landed. Eventually, though, a few locals realize the truth. Because it's Halloween, everyone assumes the Martians are kids in exceptionally-well-made costumes. The CAP crew searches for the (nonexistent) Martian invasion fleet which they believe has already landed. Ziplock, the careful and calculating science officer and the alternately-overeager-and-timid Corporal Pez. He is ignored by the rest of the crew: Captain Bipto, an overzealous optimist Lieutenant Giggywig, an ambitious and hot-headed know-it-all Dr. The ship's smart-mouthed pilot Blaznee, who has more common sense than the others, doesn't think it's a good idea. Mistaking this for a real invasion - and not wanting to miss out on the glory of "kicking some Earthling butt" - the CAP crew lands their ship in the tiny community of Big Bean, Illinois there they proceed with their "invasion" of the planet. Said signal is followed by a Halloween rebroadcast of Orson Welles' 1938 The War of the Worlds radio dramatization. Meanwhile, the incompetent crew of a small spaceship from the Martian "Civilian Asteroid Patrol" intercepts a distress signal from the fleet. The Martian armada is sent into battle by Enforcer Drones, tasked to keep the Martian soldiers in line, despite objections by some that it won't work. The space armada from Mars fights an interstellar war against their long-time enemy, the Arcturans.
