I saw this scene when I walked into the living room when my parents were watching when I was maybe about nine and it gave me nightmares for weeks. It still scares the shit out of me.
@@Pedrg93 For some reason, your comment reminds me of something a certain someone said, during an episode of Family Guy... 😂😂😂 "It's eery isn't it? Like looking into the future." -- Stewie Griffiin
😅 Did you know there’s an exclusive book of interviews with the screenwriter of Mars Attacks! , Jonathan Gems , his life and work with Tim Burton -MARS ATTACKS MEMOIRS Ack Ack!
For a good part, the feminine carmine red clothing of these sadistic creatures added to their perverse and sick gaze as well as their reverberated duck voice, all in a decor of skinned animals and shades of red / blue, pushes back the limits of horror to the most crazy comic.
I have no idea why but I was always fascinated by this scene. I was about 3ish years old when I saw this movie... Didn't remember it till turned sixteen... last year. I went 13 years thinking I dreamt this scene lmao.
I saw this scene on tv at my cousin sisters house when i was a kid.. and i was unable to find this movie.. finally years later i randomly remembered the scene and got it.. thanks 😂
This movie scared me when I was a little girl. ESPECIALLY this scene where they swapped the lady’s head and dog’s head... I had nightmares and couldn’t go back to sleep in my room. So I snuck into my dad’s room, and slept under my baby brother’s crib, with my blanket and pillow until morning. Why did my dad have to make me watch this movie??
I kinda liked the part where Godzilla made a 5 second cameo and then the Martians switched the channel to Dukes of Hazzard. It would’ve been really satisfying if Godzilla had more screen time, so we can see him annihilating the Martians. At least in Japan.
I suppose it's possible, although not definitively proven. The clown, like the farm animals may have been abducted only hours or perhaps even days in advance.
Perhaps she (Poppy) may have been a little confused at first -- but by film's end -- she proved that she was more than capable of owning and/or rocking that new body. After all, she practically went out on top! 🥰
@@badman2667 I find it not only interesting that Poppy could actually walk in heels... but I also find it sexy as hell!!! 🔥😍 ... And by "rocking" her owner's former body, I simply meant that Poppy appears to have adjusted quite well to it. Enough to pass herself off as a beautiful and very feminine creature.
Creepy scene of course but its crazy how theyre all like hey look what we did put your pets head on your body. Such a way to mess with a human the martians are deranged lol.
I was born in 1993. The movie came out in 1996. I was probably like 4 years old when I was with my grandmother, sleeping over at her place. She let me watch the whole film with her. She kept asking me if I’m scared. I was lying and I kept saying - no, grandma. 👵 So I watched the whole film. I couldn’t fall asleep for years after watching it as I was scared of the aliens. My mother was very mad at my grandmother that she let me watch it. Now, being an adult, I find it very funny and entertaining. But don’t let small kids watch it. 🔫👽 I’ll make sure my kids won’t watch any restricted films. 🎥
To tell you the truth, I might've felt the same at first... But now, I've grown to love it [this scene]. I find "her" to be very beautiful indeed... 😘😘😘
@@MrRepoman197 Well actually, I think both of them are equally gorgeous. But if I had to choose, I'd say the dog on her body. Or more specifically -- the head of Poppy (the Chihuahua) -- on the body of Nathalie Lake (her owner).
@@MrRepoman197 I mean when you think about it, the Martians took two normally-developed beings, of two entirely different species, and created something truly remarkable out of them. A scientific masterpiece!!! 😍
I'm pretty sure you're referring to the idea of whether or not, Nathalie gets her precious body back? The short answer is NO. The Martians wouldn't have ever reversed the outcome of the experiment, under any circumstances. They meant for it to be this way. The Martians wanted to have free reign over ALL of their hostages. They could frighten and humiliate them, and prevent them from ever having a chance to escape.
@@thesouthernbibleboy984 I totally understand. Nathalie deserved nothing but the best out of life. And instead, she was met with a raw deal -- which ultimately cost her her life. Very sad indeed! 😥
Perhaps what makes this scene so erotic is the fact that the victim's body -- including the remnants of the outfit she is wearing -- have a certain degree of sex appeal associated with them. The victim still manages to retain most of her external beauty, even though the severed head of the victim's canine has since been grafted to the location of where her owner's head used to be.
@@Indians-dl3to I don't, unfortunately. This film marks the only time I've ever seen a group of aliens (in this case Martians) performing crude experiments on either men, women or animals. In this film, the Martians performed their own unique style of experimentation on all three types. But the scenes involving the head/body swap of a woman and her dog is by far my favorite experiment of all.
@@seanmorse5733 Nothing taken from "behind-the-scenes" that I'm aware of... Although, I have taken a few screenshots from the film itself, and added them into one of my previous videos. And the only other picture(s) I have found -- in regards to the pair of hologram silver go-go boots -- stems from an online auction, which is believed to have taken place sometime in the early 2000's (c. 2004?). In them, the hologram silver trench coat can also be seen. It (the aforementioned trench coat) and the go-go boots were sold together in the same lot -- to an anonymous bidder -- for an undisclosed amount of money. I have previously uploaded a video on this particular topic as well...
@@MrMatzuki1000 From what I've read, Poppy was indeed a female pet Chihuahua. Both in and out of the film. Often referred to as "her" and "she" -- even in sources that aren't directly based around her appearance in the film.
@@unspeakableexperiments7699 It's just that not long ago I saw scenes from the movie that are here on RU-vid and there is a scene where Nathalie is already walking with Poppy's body and when she scratches herself due to itching you can see the noble part of Poppy
@@unspeakableexperiments7699 This is the scene I'm referring to, it may not be very distinguishable unless you set it to slow speed and zoom in, it may just be my imagination. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WZNlNwg1NQQ.htmlsi=FYjhXKIknMtrxjxv
@@unspeakableexperiments7699 Likewise, in this scene where Poppy still does not have the body of her owner Nathalie, it can be perceived that Poppy is a male dog because her noble part can be slightly distinguished. You can see it in the minute 0:57 and 0:58 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fGk7LchbiU4.htmlsi=pbO1neiHyfB_8Li6
@@MrMatzuki1000 I'm sure that there could be a reasonable explanation for it. For all we know -- the body that Poppy possessed aboard the Mothership could have been digitally created -- giving off the false impression that Poppy was a male dog, when in fact the digitized body should've reflected that she was actually a female dog. This could've been a goof on the part of the people responsible for the film's special effects.
Seeing this creates some cognitive dissonance. I mean, who should we even consider this to be? A dog with a woman's body or a woman with a dog's head? How should we feel about this? And what should do about it?
Those are some very interesting questions! I'll try my best to answer them to the best of my ability, although I understand that your opinion/opinions may vary. 😉👍 In regards to the matter of: "Who should we even consider this to be?" A: I'd say that all depends on whether or not the person, or individual responsible for the initial reference -- knows, or is even vaguely aware of -- the pet Chihuahua's actual/given name. Over the course of some early and/or previous cutaway scenes during the movie -- the pet Chihuahua's owner (Nathalie Lake), along with the owner's former boyfriend (Jason Stone) -- each refer to the pooch as "Poppy", respectively. The name "Poppy" is largely viewed as having a mostly feminine background, which would and/or should lead to the owner's pet Chihuahua being viewed and accepted accordingly... as an assigned female canine at birth. So, as to the matter of "Who?" -- I would still refer to her as "Poppy". A female pet Chihuahua -- who briefly occupied the human body of her former owner -- leading up to, and at the exact moment of her death. In regards to the matter of: "A dog with a woman's body, or a woman with a dog's head?" A: I'd say that BOTH of these could be seen as acceptable forms of reference. Although, I would have to choose the former. After all, "Poppy" became responsible for having breathed new life back into the body of her former owner (Nathalie Lake), following the successful results of the Martians' onboard surgical procedure. In regards to the matter of: "How should we feel about this?" A: I'd say I have mixed emotions about this one. On one hand, I feel sorry for all of the needless hell that the Martians put Nathalie and "Poppy" through. But on the other hand, I feel a sense of total astonishment and pure amazement -- at what the Martians were able to accomplish -- simply by swapping the severed heads of two different beings, and stapling them to opposite bodies. And... in regards to the matter of: What should we do about it?" A: I'd say I sort of welcome and embrace the Martians' overall scientific intelligence -- and mile-high advancements -- over our own current and inferior technology. They proved that the impossible could become quite possible, under their own unique guidance and direction. Therefore, as mentioned above -- I embrace it with open arms.
@@sidbejker6119 You really seem to be on-point with that one. I truly think there would be a lot of mixed opinions -- among the general population -- concerning that matter. I'm sure it would all be dependent upon the person being asked -- and how they would approach it -- with respect to their own personal feelings and opinions. ...As I've already delivered some of my own personal feelings and opinions in the above comments, I'm certain you have your own as well. You're more than welcome to share them, if you'd like! 😉👍
