Explorers | comment |
A 1985 sci-fi/fantasy film directed by Joe Dante.Ben Crandall (Ethan Hawke) keeps having a dream about traveling over a circuit board. He then draws it and shows it to his brainy friend Wolfgang (River Phoenix), who builds the board which is able to create a force field bubble. The two boys, along with help from their new tough friend Darren (Jason Presson), decide to build a spaceship out of old amusement park ride parts that when used with their new found technology gives them the ability to travel into space. Another dream gives them the schematics to create oxygen out of thin air.They create a spaceship and call it the Thunder Road, and they fly into space. Not long afterwards, they explore an alien spacecraft that they get sucked into. | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
Explorers / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Alien Biology: And how. The kids speculate about the aliens having (or lacking) things like no eyes (because of the alien ship being pretty dark, and once they finally meet the aliens... well, for example, they have no problem eating harmonicas as snacks. And the small aliens already had weird ears, but their father has smaller arms for ears. | |

The Genie Knows Jack Nicholson: As a side effect of learning all earth languages and culture from television, Wak's dialog consists mainly of celebrity impersonations and pop culture jokes. Neek is a little more subtle, but also does clear impersonations of Marilyn Monroe and Ingrid Bergman. | |

No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: The ship sinks and it becomes obvious Wolfgang hasn't saved any of the programming work at all on disk - everything was in the ship. The Sequel Hook scene at the end, however, implies that the kids will get either a new copy of the plans or maybe an upgraded version from their alien friends. | |

Shared Dream | |
Explorers / int_42f85f99 | comment |
Shared Dream: Initially Ben is the only one having the recurring dream about flying over a circuit diagram, which turns out to be plans for a force-field generator that doubles as a Reactionless Drive. Later he has another dream, this time showing how to build an oxygen generator — but now his friends, Wolfgang and Darren, are both there as well, which confirms that (as they had already guessed) the dreams are actually messages sent by aliens. At the end, the three — now joined by Ben's Love Interest Lori — have another dream, this one showing the biggest diagram yet... | |

Re-Cut | |
Explorers / int_c3ae004a | comment |
Re-Cut: Joe Dante hated the theatrical cut and was allowed to re-edit the movie for home video release by deleting a few sequences (one of which explains why River Phoenix's character skipped school to work in his lab) while restoring a few small snippets (the video version is three minutes shorter than the theatrical cut as a result). Some of the deleted sequences appear as extras on the DVD. | |

Shout-Out | |
Explorers / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The film was directed by Joe Dante, so it's expected. Examples that haven't already been mentioned include: The toy monkey from Close Encounters of the Third Kind can be seen in Wolfgang's basement. The rat, Heinlein, is named after Science Fiction author Robert A. Heinlein. Sound effects from Yars' Revenge can be heard in the drive-in movie. Rosebud can be seen at the top of a junk pile when the boys build the Thunder Road. Charles M. Jones Junior High School is named after Chuck Jones. There's other Looney Tunes references throughout the movie. Including the hole the sphere at the beginning makes being shaped like Bugs Bunny's head. A few other movies like The Crawling Eye, The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, This Island Earth, and 1953 version of The War Of The Worlds are also featured. The name of the Thunder Road is, obviously, from a Bruce Springsteen song (and mentioned as such in the story-it's a better name that the one the other kids could think of at the moment). The name "Starkiller" was Luke Skywalker's original name in Star Wars. | |

Just Plane Wrong | |
Explorers / int_ce1c73e2 | comment |
Just Plane Wrong: The helicopter's amazing night of flying. The Thunder Road is flying when the Drive In is open - evening, between 9pm and 1am. The helicopter encounters it shortly after the Drive in. We next see the helicopter landing in broad daylight, late enough in the morning the newspapers have been published and are available. That's easy 7 hours of flight that evening - a long time for that kind of helicopter to be just tooling around. That is assuming that they didn't stop for refueling or took another shift the following day to look around. | |

Calling Me a Logarithm | |
Explorers / int_d2e4289b | comment |
Calling Me a Logarithm: An early scene has Ben calling Jerk Jock Steve Jackson as "having elephantiasis on his ego" (because he bullied Wolfgang) before class. Gilligan Cut to after class and Jackson beating the holy hell out of Ben alongside his buddies because he (somehow) heard that Ben called him that, and not knowing what "elephantiasis" really means, just assumed it to be an insult worth beating someone into a coma over (he's not completely wrong, however the implication is that, with Ben being one of the class "nerds", he was just looking for any reason to beat him up. Ben deciding to explain (in the most insulting way possible) what the term means wasn't going to do him any favors). | |

The Alleged Car | |
Explorers / int_f237981e | comment |
The Alleged Spaceship: The Thunder Road is made of an old carnival ride, some spot-welding, a 1980s portable computer, Imported Alien Phlebotinum (that the kids didn't know was unreliable until their first flight, and still is pretty complicated to fly) and a whole lot of prayer. | |
