Despite including one of the most famous slapstick groups in Brazilian comedy, this film became (in)famous for its poor qualities regarding direction, fight sequences and attempts at parodying the Star Wars Franchise (which, at the time consisted of only one film and had yet to be expanded in the next movies).

* MayTheFarceBeWithYou: One of the earliest Star Wars parodies, just a year after ''Film/ANewHope''. Though it has few of the elements we'd associate with the series; there's a DarthVaderClone as the BigBad, a Chewbacca-like sidekick who assists Flick, a village where the iglu-like houses resemble Tatooine, and a few stormtrooper lookalikes, but that's pretty much it.

to:

* EvilSoundsDeep: As expected, the Darth Vader imitation has an intimidating deep voice.
* GratuitousDiscoSequence: An extended one in the middle part of the movie. The score also has a strong disco influence.
* HollywoodDensity: The movie's ending has the Tramps effortlessly lifting gold bricks.

* OverCrank: The movie is fond of slow-motion shots for comedy's sake...
* UnderCrank: ...except for the sped-up chase sequence that opens the movie.
