For over 30 years I have had vague early childhood memories about a movie where a miniaturized ship is injected into a guy, and at some point there were scenes at a supermarket. And then out of nowhere I see something online about a movie that looks exactly like my hazy memory, so I look up this trailer to confirm it is EXACTLY what I remember. It's wild how a tiny fragment of a memory can suddenly become perfectly clear after so long.
This same thing happened to me for The Witches. I remembered some kids getting turned into mice and a whitch stepped on one, and he had green goop for guts. Nightmare fuel for kids.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY, WITH THE SAME EXACT MOVIE!!! Omg I feel so validated in this experience!!! Legit 30 years too! I’ve googled things about this type of movie for years and found nothing and then an article was posted and BAM!
This is me with that movie where the guy is actually controlled by a bunch of mini versions of him but they suck and also there’s a line at the end of the trailer “don’t drink the ketchup” I forget what it is I just know I saw the trailers.
The influence of the American movies In the world is undeniable!! And this movie is no exception! I remember going to the movie theater in Mexico with my way older brother, we were impressed about the special effects in this movie!! We lived it!! 1987! Nice memories!!
I don't understand how this movie isn't considered an 80s classic along with ghostbusters, indiana jones, back to the future, last starfighter, etc. it's just as good as any of them.
when I was a kid, we had this on VHS, but only half the film was recorded which has left me with so many questions, and only just now have I finally found it!
I remember watching this all the time when I was a kid but I couldn’t remember what it was called. Always thought it was called “in a space” until now. Glad I tried to find it again.
I love Joe Dante's unique brand of weirdness. More times than not his films go slightly nuts towards the end, like Gremlins or Explorers. That might not be everyone's cup of tea but I happen to love those films. Interspace also gets a little whacky but Dante again makes it all work. Really fun adventure. One of the best films of 1987, in my opinion.
They unfortunately do it all the time. However, I wouldn't actually mind if they did a sort-of sequel about a similar thing happening. Might be interesting. Unlikely to be this good (the Dennis/Martin duo was surprisingly awesome), but if they did it right it could still be an enjoyable movie.
Loved this movie since I first saw it at school in 1990 or so and inded an epic 80's Sci-Fi adventure from that time. I had no idea that Martin Short was the same guy who played Jack Putter then later Franck (the wedding co-ordinator) in Father Of The Bride a few years later. My father saw this movie when it came out and always enjoyed seeing screenings of it on terrestrial TV.
After all these years, I've finally found this movie. I've been looking for it for years, ever since I saw it as a kid I've been trying to find out what this movie was called and now I know.
I always love when Tuck goes back to give her a real kiss! One of my favourite childhood movies. . . It's nearly time for a rewatch. . . When movies were movies! 📼 🥲
WHAT?! This is a COMEDY? What the .. I only saw this when I was really young, and I remember it being terrifying haha, what the hell, what universe am I in !
Really? This hilarious film gave you nightmares? I thought it was awesome as a kid. Best film with Martin short. Best thing that both Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan had done
I remember seeing this years ago and I forgot basically everything about it except the plot. I thought it might have been one of Disney's old 80's sci-fi movies like The Black Hole or The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes and I was looking for it on Disney+, lol.
Everyone always says Joe Dante only had one good film ("Gremlins"). I contend this is another good one and severely underrated (actually, I think he had three good films..."Gremlins 2: The New Batch" is even more underrated).
I kinda wished I never watched this again as an adult. Wasn't half as good as I remember. Most of the movie seems to be about some technological espionage with some cowboy who introduced Velcro to some place in the world. The actual inside the body plot is kind of a plot device to drive this buddy movie, you only get a couple minutes of screen time inside the body. Those are some impressive effects for the day but it's way too little. the concept of this movie is nothing like the superior Fantastic Voyage concept. Think of it like this, you are shrunk to the size of a micron. One inch is now around 15 miles. So if you are in the guys hand and he moves his hand one inch, you've just moved 15 miles in less than a second. You'de be dead! And Fantastic Voyage remake with a proper big budget and a serious tone (I dunno, like avatar or interstellar) would make for a seriously kick ass movie, way better than a remake of innerspace.
I see where you are coming from but that doesn't have to be the case. Look at Peter Jacksons remake of King Kong. It's very bright and colourful, massively expands on the original requiring 3 times the running time and yet still very reverential to the original. The original concept of both King Kong and Fantastic Voyage are great concepts, no need to add extra crap that will only serve to remove screen time and development of the core concept of the movie. The King King remake did that by filling out the core concept, it didn't make any changes to the original concept like innerspace did with fantastic voyage because it's a good concept and if they can't make it work without feeling the need to add a bunch of crap like a cowboy in innerspace or some other gimmick like throwing them into the body of a spy or president or alien whilst they are running around doing tired old action stuff with guns and explosions then they need writers that can see the potential the concept has and can make the most of it. FYI, the latest FV remake news is they have hired David Goyer to write a treatment. Look how dark and different he made Superman? He's early recognisable as Superman now. So whilst it doesn't have to be that way, it probably will be as hollywood never learns. Then they act surprised when their movies don't make the money they thought it would. before I go, think of a recent movie that was bright and fun and colourful and very reverential (perhaps too reverential considering it wasn't supposed to be a remake) to it's source material, the force awakens. That made tons of money!
David S Goyer writing the FV remake doesn't necessarily fill me with joy, given that I hold him responsible for single-handedly ruining Superman in Man of Steel.
your thinking of physics on a macro scale not a micro scale. if you moved the 15 miles in a second youd barely be affected, like when you have an ant in your hand and you throw it. it doesnt die from the velocity of being thrown, no? it lands somewhere with very minor damage if that. mass vs velocity is different on the micro scale.
I was washing dishes, and then i had a memory leading to a memory leading to memory of a scene of 5 or 6yo me where this movie was played in the background. And i came looking for it. Thanks to chatgpt, he gives me the name at the first try
