Iron Sky Trailer 126

Posted by kdawson from the space-nazis-on-the-moon dept.
John Buckman from Magnatune clues us that the trailer for Iron Sky is available. We've been following the production for some time, as these are the same guys who brought us Star Wreck, the most successful feature-length Internet-distributed film of all time. That film was made by 3,000 people, has been downloaded 8 million times, is under a Creative Commons by-nd-nc license, and made good money both through DVD sales and through an eventual deal with Universal. Iron Sky is being made using Wreck-a-Movie — a collaborative film-making web site (also Creative Commons based) that grew out of the Star Wreck experience."

  • First, the movie tagline: "In 1945, the Nazis went to the moon. In 2018, they're coming back."

    This reminded me of an old Cinemaware game called "Rocket Ranger", where the Nazis obtained alien technology that they could use to conquer the world. Rocket Ranger had to stop their plans, and go to the moon to dismantle their base.

    In any case, the trailer looks great. I think I'm going to watch this movie.

      I have that game for the Commodore 64! Most annoying design, ever. You have to sit through ALL the cut scenes before you play the game. Then it's really a collection of mini-games that start with the oddest rhythm game in history. (Basically, tap the joystick to the beat of the character's run so that you have a running start when taking off with your jet pack.) On top of everything, you have to swap disks CONSTANTLY, which makes the game even slower than it already was.

      That being said, the game grows on you after a while. There's a lot more strategy to the game than it would appear on the surface, and the cheap deaths become less of a problem once you get the hang of it. Even the secret decoder wheel (an anti-piracy device required to play the game) actually becomes kind of cool after a while. It gives you more of that WWII, "slide-rule" feel to your adventure. However, fuel is a constant problem. It seems like no matter how much you steal from the Nazis, you never have enough to keep your jet pack running AND add fuel to your moon rocket. (For the game's finale.) Plus your secret agents are disposed of by the enemy as soon as you get anywhere in the game. The end result is that the game is HARD to finish.

      None the less, it is still a rewarding game. If you're interested in playing it again, Cinemaware has actually released the game for FREE [cinemaware.com] on their website. All you have to do is sign up for their site and they'll allow you to download a disk image to use in your favorite emulator. They even throw in a copy of the Secret Decoder Wheel(TM) so you won't have to search the 'net looking for the information!

      For those of you who haven't tried it before, I highly recommend downloading it and giving it a try. With modern emulators, pesky issues like disk swaps are nowhere near as annoying as they once were. Or if you're a hardcore classic gamer, you can even write the images back to floppies and play the game on original hardware as God intended. ;-)

      The movie is supposed to be a tongue in cheek comedy. It's semi-serious in its premise, but is able to use humor to gloss over the various suspension of disbelief problems that arise with the (rather outlandish) plot. Should make for an interesting film once it's released. :-)

    It has Udo Kier [mobygames.com] in it.

  • I'm glad to hear that this is supposed to be tongue in cheek. I'd hate to think that they were propagating the "dark side of the moon" myth from Space 1999 accidentally. Or maybe it's a reference to the Pink Floyd album?

    I remember the original commentary about Space 1999 that there is no dark side of the moon. There's a far side of the moon, but if nuclear fuel dumps exploded there it would drive the moon straight at the earth.

    • There's a far side of the moon, but if nuclear fuel dumps exploded there it would drive the moon straight at the earth.

      Which would make it miss. (Basic orbital dynamics.)

      To make it hit you'd have to "explode" the nuclear fuel dumps on the side leading in the orbit, to decelerate it into an impacting orbit.

      It would also take LOTS of nuclear fuel dumps over a VERY LONG TIME. B-)

      Nuclear bombs are big on human scales. But they're firecrackers compared to an earthquake, and an earthquake is not even in the le
      • It would be fun to calculate the amount of nuclear reaction mass it would take to make the entire moon accelerate at the 10g's or so it would take to press everyone to the floor without killing them, like it did in the first episode. I can presume, though, that it would be more likely to split the moon into pieces and rain death down upon the earth than accelerate it all in one piece, even if the dumps were spread evenly across a large area. But, barring that, the dumps would theoretically have to be cent

          The moon is not solid. Think of it as a bunch of pebbles, sand, and dust particles held together by their own gravity. Accelerate it at something even approaching its own surface gravity (assuming you co
  • Mythobeast, I think you've missed the symbol of the Black Sun (Schwarze Sonne) appearing on the moon. You should at least 2 or more appearing in the 'trailer'.

    The dark side of the moon is presumably a reference to the cultus of the Black Son / Schwarze Sonne .. because of their motto .. "Uns geht die sonne nicht unter" ({our} sun will never go down)

    Even on the dark side of the moon, so phun intended

    You see: there's no business like shoa business.

  • Renate is to travel to Earth on a secret mission with her fiance, the handsome and high-ranking Klaus, a true Nazi down to his jackboots. Their mission: to assassinate the president of the United States, Jenna Bush.

    Renate finds Earth not to be the pit of depravity Klaus had described. Suddenly, bombing this world back to the stone age doesn't seem like a good idea at all.

    President Jenna Bush? No, it really would be time to bomb us back to the stone age.

    This reminds me of a great short story by David Drake. A US senator is spending the weekend out at his cabin when the lights flighte and an eerie whirling noise comes from outside. There's a bleedin' flying saucer coming down. The hatch opens and out comes an SS officer complete with armband. The war was over 30 years ago, the senator had fought against the bastards, and now here's one with a flying saucer! The SS officer te
