Watching "Iron Sky", it felt like the entire point of this film was to include a scene where a slack-jawed New Yorker points to the sky, eyes wide with terror, and screams: "Space Nazis!"
Not since "Snakes on a Plane" have we seen a film so hell-bent on attaining B-movie nirvana. A heroine whose clothes get conveniently blown off in an airlock? Check. Flying saucers hovering in "V" formation over Times Square? Check. A cast you've never heard of except for Udo Kier? Check. About the only thing missing is Chuck Norris battling a giant rubber reptile.
The concept is such dead-on B-movie cheese, it's hard to believe Roger Corman didn't already make it four decades ago. An American space mission lands on the dark side of the moon only to find ... Wait for it ... Space Nazis! Yes, a small band of die-hard Aryan true-believers fled the Third Reich shortly before the Fuhrer's downfall in 1945, and formed a secret lunar colony where they have been building advanced weaponry and plotting their revenge on America.
