Notes[]

  • The Daleks appear in the Area 52 section of the film. This caused a controversy, as Wikipedia states:

The alien cyborgs yelling "Exterminate them!" are Daleks from the British sci-fi series Doctor Who; more precisely, the models used are from the non-canon films Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD (distinguishable from the TV versions by the "vapor spray" weapon, although there seems to got circle-shaped death-Ray with it). It was at the insistence of Steve Martin that Daleks be used in that scene. This was the cause of a minor legal issue as the Daleks are owned by the estate of Terry Nation and are not in the public domain as was assumed.

  • The website flickfilosopher was unkind to the film itself, but seemed to give the Daleks the Thumbs up:

The few genuine laughs have nothing to do with Looney Tunes lunacy, like how there are Daleks in Joan Cusack's mad laboratory. I'm not sure why they're there, and they seem pretty confused about the surprising turn of events too, but hearing them warble "Exterminate! Exterminate!" while wobbling across the floor -- and being taken as a serious threat while doing so -- was hilarious.
