A movie so horrible that not only was it a critical and box office epic fail, but its producer, Franchise Pictures, was convicted in court over it due to a scam in which the film's budget was overstated. Not to mention an indelible scar in John Travolta's career. And cult status for the movie in the future? HAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Somebody with incredibly long dreadlocks. Reference to the movie Battlefield Earth, where John Travolta's character has said hair style.
Gary: Dude, that chick is hot!
Eldon: If you're referring to Battlefield Earth over there, I don't think we can hang out anymore.

The book is awesome. unlike the movie its more believable. for justice should have been a 3 part movie that stuck to the real story.
Jonnie discovers how to exploit a weakness in the alien’s armor. He finds deposits of uranium in the Rocky Mountains that have been enfeebling his people, and that uranium is unstable and explosive in the presence of the gas the Psychlos breathe. When Terl finally prepares to teleport gold in coffins to Psychlo, Jonnie and his band of Scots replace the gold with uranium, which utterly destroys Psychlo upon transmission. The multi-galactic empire they had built is irretrievably broken. Terl, and the other Psychlos left on Earth are subdued and imprisoned.
Book goes on to what happens later - with the Psychlos gone other species from other planets appear. Our heroes use politics, law and relationships to save Earth again.

Ryan George has are pretty funny video about it. All his stuff is good really. But I'll check it out.
Hym "I'll rent Battlefield Earth and watch it later but I should probably take a nap here before work. A side note, and completely unrelated to Battlefield Earth, I'm pacing around my house, right? And what do I see? My parents got me a copy of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' for Christmas, right? Hilarious! The irony of giving a trillionaire- (the word 'trillionaire' isn't even in my auto-correct by the way) But, giving a trillionaire a book on making money is astounding! An astounding level of irony! The maximum, probably. It might be the most ironic thing... Ever- Egh.. They want you to pay 3.99 on Amazon Prime... How much is it on YouTube..........? Also 3.99. OK. I guess that's the going rate. You know it was free not too long ago but I guess that ship has sailed. Oh well..."
