Nikto, Klaatu, and Barada?
 
These names familiar to you? If you're a Star Wars fan, you'll know that these are the names of the three well known species in Return of the Jedi, in Jabba Palace and the scene with the Sarlac Pit. AND they are also the name of the three aliens that kinap Donatello and Rocksteady in the old toon, the episode was called "Invasion of the Turtle Snatchers" I thought it was a funny coincidence, either that or the Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman like Star Wars a lot...I'm surpised Luca didn't sue their asses. Oh well.

Eastman and Laird didn't write the show...

Actually it's Klaatu Barada Nickto and its what the alien said in the movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still", George Lucas added those names into Return of the Jedi as a tribute to the film and I imagine the the people who wrote that episode of TMNT got it from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" too.

Isn't that what Ash said to get back to present time in Army of Darkness?

I don't know, I have never seen Army of Darkness all the way through. If he did say that, it was another tribute to "The Day the Earth Stood Still"

Ash does say it and it is a tribute to the Day the Earth Stood Still (special edition dvd of this classic 1951 Science-Fiction movie comes out March 4th with a retail of 19.98. Preoder yours today!)

Yeah Ash says something similar. In the script it's written as Klaatu Verata Nikto, or something like that.

Necktie ;) Definitely an N word.

It's is Verata, not Barada.

"Klaatu, Verata, Ni-*cough*cough*"
