The plot concerns a MadScientist, a KillerGorilla, a [[TheQuincyPunk Quincy Punk]] with a nuclear guitar, and a GentlemanAdventurer, who all face off with each other as well as aliens and Satan himself. It's pretty random.
* FlippingTheBird: Characters are constantly flipping each other off. To a bunch of 20-year-olds in the late 90s, this probably seemed pretty edgy.

* GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion: Ironic coming from a company who made it big mocking Lucas, but the version they put out in DVD is an example of this trope. The entire film was ReCut, though they discovered that the limited coverage they shot left them unable to make many significant improvements. They also redid many of the special effects, but attempted to keep them within their original DIY aesthetic so they wouldn't be jarring. Some major changes include:
** The flying saucers are physical props rather than extremely crude CGI.
** The background of Hell is a footage of a model landscape rather than static images pulled off of Google.
** Jesus is a live-action actor (played by Jack Packard) rather than crudely animating the mouth of a static Jesus portrait.
