"The Nazis set up a secret base on the dark side of the moon in 1945 where they hide out and plan to return to power in 2018."

Oh yeah...Crazy ass Nazis have been hiding out on the dark side of the moon and decide to launch an attack on Earth in 2018, which is right now!....So where the hell are they anyway? Ha!



This is obviously a just-for-fun flick...it does have some crazy interesting characters and some impressive sets that look like Nazis could have secretly built. I liked the first part of the film about the Nazi's on the dark side of a man. The U.S. has sent a black astronaut to the moon as sort of a publicity stunt, and he's not too happy to be there, he's even less happy when the Nazi's capture him and give him the Albinum drug that makes his skin whiter. It's a weird movie idea!

On the moon we're introduced to an evil Nazi played by Christopher Kirby and to an idealistic Nazi woman who's been told the Nazi's are the good guys and she only wants to help humanity. She's a teacher, played by Julie Dietze.



When the Fourth Reich decides to take over Earth they join forces with a slimy U.S. President who's a right winger Sarah Palin type. Thanks to her even eviler PR woman the Pres cuts a deal with the Nazi's to start a war so that the Pres can get reelected! I liked the political satire bit, too bad there wasn't more of it. But hey nobody said it was a 5 star movie.



Good cast, crazy ideas played out for fun, with some satire too, not that bad!
