I think I got there before you ;) Great scene, I think one of the guys says something like "We really need to change your password" as they're walking away!

@DVK, no problem, maybe I should have said I was one of the ones laughing too :) thought it was a great film at the time, will have to re-watch and see if it has stood the test of time, I know I wasn't impressed with the 3rd one which I saw recently. Don't think I've seen the 2nd one.

Who said anything about being "too sarcastic to be in a SciFi movie"? I see no reason why a SciFi Movie can't be sarcastic, or funny! I love Red Dwarf Some great uses of Sarcasm in it.

@Nobby +1 for the " so over-the-top that it could be considered absurd" that's one of the things that really stands out to me about the film.

comment Was the Wheel of Pain actual or allegorical?
I thought it was meant to explain how he was so strong, as I recall there was a donkey/Ox helping him, at the start, but at the end he is by himself.

I'm probably going to mark this as correct, I'm just waiting to rewatch the movie at the weekend :)

One of the partners bought ex-military chips as they were cheaper than the regular chips.
