My class and I met Kim Coates and when I asked what he thought of Battlefield Earth he asked what I thought of it. I said it sucked and he just laughed and thanked me for telling the truth.

Somewhere online is an essay by one of the screenwriters for Battlefield Earth in which he states that he TRIED to salvage this turd, but he wasn’t allowed to. See, when Mr. Hubbard wrote the novel, he left detailed notes demanding that the eventual film version be made JUST LIKE THIS. Hubbard sabotaged his own damn movie.

Love your appearence as Tull, that was genius.
I rented this movie when it came out, under the delucion, “Maybe I’ll like it.” I quickly came to regret those words, as I realised that this movie is in fact, a piece of SHIT! Horrible dialog, dumb characters, stupid explainations, if no just plain bad.
Just an around bad, dumb, piece of shit movie.
thank you NC, and Spoony.

Poor poor critic. You just wanna give him a hug and a dose of thorazine. This movie... it just... it just... I mean... who the fuck thought this would be a good premise? For ANYTHING?!

I mean, I know L.Ron.Hubbard was a con-artist idiot who couldn't write a good book to save his life but this is bad even for HIM!

I think the dialogue between the producer and the director for this movie may have gone something like this:
- Producer: we have a movie that we really think you'd be perfect for, will you have a look at the script?
- Director: okay. [reads script] ... aha! That is hilarious! This would make an awesome comedy! I mean, just the parody of the whole sci-fi genre and-
- Producer: it's... not a comedy.
- Director: err... what?
- Producer: It's a serious film.
- Director: r-really? Wha... why... I mean why would you even want to produce this piece of-
- Producer: It's going to pull in a lot of money. It's written by the guy who came up with scientology. This thing will be backed by the entire hollywood A list.
- Director: Wha-how-why- Look, I think you're wrong about the whole 'making money' thing, but it doesn't matter. I will NEVER direct this movie. It's a complete and utter joke! Whoever directs this movie will have their name blackened for eternity!
- Producer: we have your wife and children held in our cellar downstairs. If you don't help us, very bad things will happen to them.
- Director: Never! I will never sink to such depths of intimidation! I will never sink to the gutter level of this script-
- Producer: we'll pay you.
- Director: ... how much money are we talking about here?

May be followed by:
- Director: ... hey producer guy, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. Why do you have red horns and a forked tail? And why did I feel like my soul was being sucked out of me when I signed that contract with the fiery pen?
- Producer: Marketing ploy.
