Is this a new feature? Woohoo

edit: Oh wait, forgot about the volcano movies.

I'm unable to watch this at work, but my vote goes to Mission to Mars.

Mars isn't big enough for both Tom Sizemore and Val Kilmer.

Can't say I remember these movies fondly but this was a great segment nonetheless.

Wow, that was terrible. Mars movies are bad. And Garry Sinise looked ridicules.

Sidegrades is a really good feature though. Probably the best one on the site.

Mission to Mars: Best On-Set FEAUD?????

Fixed it... Nice. Good video guys.

The only answer to this question is: "Yikes! Neither one!"

Never saw Mission to Mars, but I'll watch Red Planet every couple years for a few laughs.

Nice catch there... they get it rignt on the into title but muck it on on the score screen, but I didn't notice it (the old, "you know what it's supposed to be so your brain makes it that way even if it isn't" thing).

Was it Mission to Mars that had the face? That's the winner.

Tartaruson Sept. 13, 2011 at 12:42 p.m.

I think Mission to Mars is a better film but there are some things about Red Planet that I find enjoyable.

Gary Sinise in eyeliner: "in made me upset"

Science! Space Showers!

Never noticed the guy-liner, OOF!

Jedtedon Sept. 13, 2011 at 1:04 p.m.

I haven't seen Red Planet but i enjoyed Mission to Mars.

Maysinon Sept. 13, 2011 at 1:16 p.m.

Great video! I remember seeing these in theaters and being very disappointed.

datarezon Sept. 13, 2011 at 1:21 p.m.

I enjoy Mission to Mars as the one of the few movies that gets the space opera feel just right.

What was the feud? I couldn't hear Rorie when he said something about exercise equipment.

drscotton Sept. 13, 2011 at 1:22 p.m.

Mission to Mars is great for me because it always triggers my imagination whenever I see it.

Jeffk38ukon Sept. 13, 2011 at 1:31 p.m.

CAn't quite say I agree with the final result but then I never watched Red Planet. Not fully anyway.

Beomooseon Sept. 13, 2011 at 1:47 p.m.

Mission to mars sucks because its a dumb, silly movie that takes itself WAY seriously. Also seriously mis-uses Don Cheadle

Red Planet is a dumb, silly movie which embraces its dumb and silly nature. Plus it has a cameo by Pathfinder/Sojourner. WIN
