Even though the film is as cheesy as they come, its got some surprisingly good actors (which doesnt have any bearing on the quality of the performances in this case, which are dictated by the material), and John Malkovich has all of the juciest lines, including my all time favourite dumb action movie quote, from the man himself:
Santino: 'Have patience... they'll be here! (I dont know if thats totally right!)
The Virus: 'You know what happened to the last guy that told me to have patience: I burned him down and bagged his ashes!'
It makes me chuckle every time, because its just so stupid!
Foot note:
Dont you just want to kick Colm Meaney (that annoying FBI guy with the silver car) every time he speaks in this? (Its not him, its just his character)

Lieutenant John Harper: It was a saucer!
Patrolman: A flying saucer?
Detective: One thing's sure, Clay is dead, murdered, and somebody's responsible.
Eros: You do not need guns.
Jeff Trent: Maybe we think we do.
The Ruler: Plan 9? Ah, yes. Plan 9 deals with the resurrection of the dead. Long distance electrodes shot into the pineal and pituitary gland of the recently dead.
Paula Trent: I've never seen you in this mood before.
Jeff Trent: I guess that's because I've never been in this mood before.
Eros: In my land, women are for advancing the race, not for fighting man's battles.
Colonel Edwards: Why is it so important that you want to contact the governments of our earth?
Eros: Because all you of Earth are idiots!
Jeff Trent: Now you just hold on, Buster.
Eros: No, you hold on! First was your firecracker, a harmless explosive. Then your hand grenade: you began to kill your own people, a few at a time. Then the bomb. Then a larger bomb: many people are killed at one time. Then your scientists stumbled upon the atom bomb, split the atom. Then the hydrogen bomb, where you actually explode the air itself. Now you can arrange the total destruction of the entire universe served by our sun: The only explosion left is... the Solaranite.
Colonel Edwards: Why, there's no such thing!
Plan 9 From Outer Space :D
