District 9 (2009)StorylineIn 1982, a massive star ship bearing a bedraggled alien population, nicknamed "The Prawns," appeared over Johannesburg, South Africa. Twenty-eight years later, the initial welcome by the human population has faded. The refugee camp where the aliens were located has deteriorated into a militarized ghetto called District 9, where they are confined and exploited in squalor. In 2010, the munitions corporation, Multi-National United, is contracted to forcibly evict the population with operative Wikus van der Merwe in charge. In this operation, Wikus is exposed to a strange alien chemical and must rely on the help of his only two new 'Prawn' friends.

The result was this film. »GoofsIncorrectly regarded as goofs: When Wikus is first admitted to hospital and is having his arm checked, it is quite clear that he has a hairy chest under his vest. Afterwards, he is seen with his shirt off and is hairless. Because the surgeons are planning on opening his chest to remove his heart, it is likely that his chest was shaved in preparation for the procedure. Another reason may be, due to the changes his body is undertaking (fingernails falling off, etc.), his hair may have fallen out. »QuotesWikus Van De Merwe: [talking to a prawn in District 9] We drinking a little bit here, eh?[the prawn vomits at Wikus's feet] » Crazy CreditsThe end credits are back to front, with the actors names on the left and character names on the right. As opposed to most films where its the other way round. »ConnectionsFeatured in "Maltin on Movies: Secretariat (#1.10)" (2010) »Soundtracks"Die Leeuws (The Lions)"Performed by Jon & Drikson Written by Gerhardus Bouchere and Hendrik Bezuidenhout Courtesy of JD Records by arrangement with pigFACTORY USA LLC » |
