Night of the Comet

"You were born with an asshole, Doris—you don't need Chuck."

"This is Samantha Belmont, one-third owner of the Greater Los Angeles Basin, speaking."

"[after her MAC-10 jams during target practice] See, this is the problem with these things. Daddy would have gotten us Uzis."

"My sister, who swiped every guy I ever had my eye on, has now swiped the last guy in the whole freaked out world!"

"Hey, I'm sorry if the end of the world makes me a little nervous."

"If something's wrong, it's wrong; majority rule doesn't have anything to do with it."

"Seems to be the perfect Christmas gift this year."

"I'm not crazy, I just don't give a fuck!"

"Let's play a game: it's called scary noises."

"Narrator: Since before recorded time, it had swung through the universe in an elliptical orbit so large that its very existence remained a secret of time and space. But now, in the last few years of the twentieth century, the visitor was returning. The citizens of Earth would get an extra Christmas present this year as their planet orbited through the tail of the comet. Scientists predicted a light show of stellar proportions, something not seen on earth for sixty-five million years—indeed not since the time that the dinosaurs disappeared—virtually overnight. There were a few who saw this as more than just a coincidence, but most didn't…"

"Steve LaBeau: I'm Steve LaBeau, trapped inside your radio, the guy who really cares about you; I mean, who else would sit in this little box everyday just to play music?"

"Regina Belmont: Come on, Hector: the MAC-10 submachine gun was practically designed for housewives."

"Hector Gomez: [after child zombie smashes fist through door] Geez! There goes the neighbourhood."

"Sarah I don't know, my parents told me never to breathe anything from strangers."

"It was the last thing on earth they ever expected."

"They came. They Shopped. They saved the world!"

"The comet's coming, and the world will never be the same."

"The last time it came the dinosaurs disappeared"

"Narrator: Did you ever wonder what it would be like to be one of the last people on Earth?"

"Night of the Comet is a successful pastiche of numerous science fiction films, executed with an entertaining, tongue-in-cheek flair that compensates for its absence in originality."

"Reggie and Sam have quite a lark tooling around a seemingly empty Los Angeles, going on fancy, nonspending sprees in chic boutiques. They even meet a handsome young man who shows a distinct interest in Reggie to Sam's disappointment. Then, however, the zombies attack, and after the zombies, there arrive on the scene the members of some secret Government mission who know that their only hope of survival is to steal the young women's blood."

"Is Night of the Comet a totally cheestastic and sometimes completely outlandish sci-fi flick? Of course. But I think it's the film's ability to embrace its own zaniness that has cemented Night of the Comets legacy in modern horror as by far one of the most inventive cult classics to have been spawned during the 80's."

"See, Night of the Comet is legendary for being that movie where the end of the world comes and all that remains are a couple of dingbat Valley Girls who take the sudden emptying out of their city as a great opportunity to do some "Girls Just Want to Have Fun"-scored shopping."

"Night of the Comet is the rare film that's effective as both a science-fiction movie and a parody of a science-fiction movie."

"Oh, it was unbelievable If I only knew How you could be so unbelievable It's beyond me That I'm beside you"

"Don't worry about tomorrow Don't ask the reasons why Just stop, take a look at yourself Take a look at the sky!"

"My name is Trouble"

"Oh, girls just wanna have fun"
