Klatu barada nikto.

Just try to say it properly while yielding a chainsaw . .

I just noticed this same phrase after having the game in my collection more
or less since it was released and had the same reaction when I found it.

I was more surprised that I'd never noticed it before, given the number of
shunts I've executed at that turn.

Um. Perhaps I'm in the "uninitiated" crowd right now..

Wassit mean? And was it printed on a sign? The only place I can think of is
where I usually go off: The infield, where there's a hard right hand bend
after gearing down from the downhill slightly bent straight. There's three
guys sitting in a building just waiting to get hit.

Am I anywhere near?

Klaatu barada nitko  was the phrase used to stop the robot and save the
world in 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' - a rather wonderful b&w sci-fi
movie.

Additional trivia - klaatu was also the name of a band which charted with
'Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft' - later covered by the
Carpenters. Lots of rumours at the time that klaatu were the reformed
Beatles.

The Robot and 'Flying Saucer' used in the film were also featured on the
cover of Ringo Starr's 'Goodnight Vienna' album.

Can anyone get a more tenuous link to r.a.s. than that?????

Thats right, give that man a cigar....the phrase is on the first overhead sign
past the start/finish line, also on some signboards in the infield portion of
Interlagos. That movie was released in 1952 and that story still holds up....a
classic sci-fi movie...nice to see some of these programers have a good sense
of humor..

Well that makes two movies then.

Refer to the chainsaw wielding Bruce Campbell in Army of Darkness.  It's
much more entertaining when he says it . . .

Obviously Latin.  Know what it means?
