"Imagine dying surrounded by mascots...that would scar me."
I mean, it wouldn't scar you for very long, Ashleigh. 🤗

Just want to add another shout out to Robert Picardo who KILLED it in this movie as Cowboy. Not just playing Cowboy which was already excellent, but playing Jack playing Cowboy too. That kind of layered comedic performance takes some real chops that not everyone can pull off well, and he did fantastic.

Innerspace was an underrated gem from 1987 that was sadly overlooked during a summer dominated by Predator, Beverly Hills Cop II, Robocop, The Witches of Eastwick, The Lost Boys, Spaceballs, and The Untouchables.

"Demons talk through you, not to you" This line cracks me up every time

[gorrammudder]

Martin Short is in peak form in this one.Robert Piccardo kills it as the Cowboy. "HEY!.... BIG JACK!"

There's an old sci-fi thriller from 1966 called Fantastic Voyage where a team goes into a scientist's brain in a miniature sub to remove a blood clot. For its day the effects were impressive. This movie came out only 21 years later (inspired by Fantastic Voyage) and improving on the movie effects. So at the time most people seeing this were familiar enough with the first movie but enjoyed the comedy. There are a lot of comic actors in the movie you probably wouldn't recognize now but were often seen in the 80s. Henry Gibson, you might have recognized as the lead "Illinois Nazi" from the Blues Brothers as well as the dream lady at the checkout was Kathleen Freeman who was also the nun in the Blues Brothers. During the scene in the doctor's office he is sitting between Joe Flaherty and Andrea Martin, both well known from Second City TV Network which was a comedy show that helped launch the careers of many people including Martin Short, Rick Moranis, John Candy and Eugene Levy.

Martin Short's physical comedy is priceless. The way he can dance and use his whole body to react to any situation. Another shrinking movie, even though not a comedy, is "Fantastic Voyage" with Rachel Welch, which I highly suggest.

[swingsloth]

Huge shout out to Vernon Wells. The man played some truly iconic roles and was grossly underappreciated in modern cinema.

Rolaids' best-known commercial from the 1970s featured the famous tag line:
"How do you spell relief?"
"R-O-L-A-I-D-S" loved this reaction you were just as entertaining as the movie, if not more. Awesome

[Carnage]

Dennis Quaid in "ENEMY MINE" was his best most passionate role, a movie you need to see.

[kevinramsey]

I LOVE this movie. Robert Picardo, aka The Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager was The Cowboy. Also, you won't recognize them but there are two awesome cameos in the doctor's office scene. Joe Flaherty and Andrea Martin, who were Martin Short's fellow cast members on the classic sketch comedy series SCTV. Dennis Quaid wasn't a knockoff Jack Nicholson, he was a knockoff Harrison Ford (in fact he did audition for the part of Indiana Jones. Fun, right?) but he became a great actor in his own right. Christian Slater is the knockoff Nicholson.

Kevin McCarthy (Scrimshaw) was the bad guy in UHF. That's where you've seen him before. But he's best known for the classic sci-fi movie, the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

"How do you spell relief?" was the slogan for Rolaids antacid.

At the end, that was the Wayfinders Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. It is used as a filming location in a lot of sci-fi tv shows and movies, and some non-sci-fi ones as well. It is truly beautiful.

This film won the Oscar for Special Effects. Joe Dante who did The Howling, The Burbs, Small Soldiers, The Hole 3D, and Gremlins made this film.

The computers that were used for the moon landings were not used to get to the moon. The hardware, the rickets, the capsules, the modules. were all designed with slide rules and a whole lot of people doing calculations.
Computers were used in the lander, but they were custom built and programmed for only that purpose. They didn't even have an internal clock. Modern computers spend 99.999 percent of their time waiting for human input, and modern operating systems chew up half the processing power running background processes that have nothing to do with the applications actually in use.

[shainewhite]

It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects and you'll see why!
This movie is a lot of fun, from the characters to the story to the action scenes to the comedy!

[stijill]

Most computers today and even back in the 80's where built to do "several different things". In a nut shell the "computers" used on the Apollo missions where dedicated machines made to do "one thing", but that "one thing" was done "well". Just like your "dumb" microwave's task was to basically heat up your food, maybe not to your satisfaction, but it did it "reliably".

[dudermcdudeface]

If you like Dennis Quaid playing this kind of character, you'd probably enjoy "The Right Stuff". He plays the real-life astronaut Gordo Cooper. He was definitely chosen for Innerspace based on that performance.

[wirelesmike]

This is one of my many favorites. It's a reimagining of the 1966 science fiction film Fantastic Voyage. The 1966 movie was also groundbreaking for its special effects at the time, but had no comedic element whatsoever. It focused mainly on a grew of scientists entering the body of a terminally ill man in an attempt to save his life, and they had to work against the clock because the craft and crew would automatically return to normal size within just a few hours, killing the man they were trying to save. The Effects in Innerspace were some of the best ever created, and they still hold up against any CG that has ever been done. It would be a crime to update this movie. It fits the time frame too well. Martin Short is the GOAT.

[trent]

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Martin Short and Dennis Quaid knocked it out of the park creating the illusion they were playing off each other even though they are on screen together for no less than 3 minutes. The Practical Effects are insane. I love Gremlins and Gremlins 2 but this to me has to be Joe Dante working on all Cylinders. Excited to see your take on it 😃
