Trivia:
The only film directed by Joe Dante to win an Academy Award. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: Tuck's mini computer keyboard has a slightly altered QWERTY layout. "Z" is found to the right of "L" and under "P" - which arguably may not be a goof even if it would make typing difficult - but the bottom row reverses the usual placement of "V" and "C" as well, which has to be purely a mistake. more
Quotes:
Lt. Tuck Pendleton: [instructing him to get his jacket/carkeys out of his locker] See that door?
Jack Putter: Yeah.
Lt. Tuck Pendleton: Use it!
[Jack turns away from it]
Lt. Tuck Pendleton: Hey! What are you doing?
Jack Putter: Just-just quiet for a minute! Shush! I-I need to think.
Lt. Tuck Pendleton: EXCUSE ME,Jack! You heard the man! My oxygen's running out! Look, if you don't help me, you're going to end up with this microscopic pod floating around your insides with this teeny tiny human skeleton at the helm.
Jack Putter: [very disgusted] UCK!
Lt. Tuck Pendleton: Now isn't that a pretty thought?

Fantastic Voyage Too, 10 April 2003
Author: george.schmidt (george.schmidt@hbo.com) from fairview, nj



INNERSPACE (1987) *** Dennis Quaid, Martin Short, Meg Ryan, Kevin McCarthy. Fast-paced and frenzily funny action/comedy/sci-fi film with Quaid as a washed up military pilot who volunteers to be miniaturized in a scientific experiment a la "Fantastic Voyage" inside a bunny but is mistakenly injected into hyper hypochondriacal Short (in arguably his finest comic role) who provides the physical comedy with Ryan as Quaid's long-suffering journalist girlfriend. Nice performances and some truly eye-popping Oscar-winning visuals. Directed by Joe Dante
