1998 Film Version
- A blatant Fanservice line, made epic as only Gary Oldman could pull off:Doctor Smith: Never fear... Smith is here.
- "A million bucks worth of weaponry. And I'd trade it all back. For a lousy can of Raid."
- Despite his complaints, Don actually does a fair job of holding back the bugs. Though admittedly, only for a short time.
- "Never leave an enemy stronghold intact. One of your father's first rules of engagement."
- Oh, so true!
- The original sleeker design for the robot was pretty impressive. About the only thing it was lacking was the ability to fight off the bugs in close combat.
- Maureen Robinson's epic verbal beat-down on Major West and Professor Robinson for their constant bickering, telling them to come find her when they're done hosing the deck down with testosterone.
- John Robinson using one of Will's science fair plaques as an improvised weapon to fight "Monster" Smith. Sure, he doesn't get in a fatal blow, but he was pretty badass for trying."Monster" Smith: You should have killed me when you had the chance.
John: You know, you're right. I couldn't kill the man... (readies his weapon and takes a swing) But I can kill the monster!
