May 19 , 2008
Sorry for not updating here for a while. The official trailer of the Beast with a Billion Backs can bee seen right now:
The 1st review of the second movie, the Beast with a Billion Backs can be seen at this Screen Jabber article, some of the highlights are:
Kif has asked her (Amy) to be his Fonfon Ru, which I guess is kinda like a wife. Or something. After a quick side trip to Kif's homeworld of Amphibios 9 for the ceremony.
Farnsworth and his mortal enemy, Professor Wornstrom, vie for the right to send a mission to explore the thing (the space rupture).
[...] We get loads of callbacks to episodes of the show's first four seasons — the Harlem Globetrotters pop up, as do those horny Amazon women and Pazuzu [...] Robot Satan is back
The big question: is it funny? Yes indeed. Is it funnier than the first one? Again, yes indeed. All those who complained that Bender's Big Score lacked laughs will be eating their words this time round.
Looking good right!!
