Luna Schlosser: "Regis - register commies, not guns." What's that mean?

Miles Monroe: What?

Luna Schlosser: "Register commies, not guns."

Miles Monroe: Oh, he was probably a member of the National Rifle Association. There was a group that helped criminals get guns so they could shoot citizens. It was a public service.

A pretty funny movie. The McDonald's on the moon made me laugh. Also, something about a leader that was blown up and all that was left was his nose, so they decided to clone the nose to make a new leader.

Didn't understand alot of the humor, but still funny as hell.

Some of it was filmed in our home town of Boulder CO, especially the "futuristic" looking houses and buildings.
