Somebody I know called it "live-action Fern Gully" the other day. I lol'd.
I saw it opening night with my gf and the film fell off the reel something like 2:30 hours in. It was the part where the Colonel is briefing before the big showdown and the camera pans to a monitor overhead and then the monitor went blank. For about 5 or 10 seconds I think we all thought it was part of the movie. Then came the popcorn and the booing. Then some AMC employee walks in and tells us that we'll get our money back, but the movie will not be set back up.
Apparently, they were using one reel for two different theaters side by side (playing at the same time). So not one, but two whole theaters full of people got fawked. Movie blue balls for everybody.
