Fun Stuff

Trivia:
In a massive media campaign before the series aired, posters with the line "The Visitors Are Our Friends" appeared in subways around the United States--just as they did in the first part of the mini-series. Days before the first episode aired, each poster was spray-painted with a bright red "V" exactly as was done in the show. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: A resistance member states that cold-blooded animals are better adapted to cold weather. The opposite is true. If the Visitors where really cold-blooded, they couldn't survive in extreme cold as depicted in the movie. more
Quotes:
Abraham Bernstein: If you are going to defy them, do it right...
[spray paints a large "V" on Visitor propaganda poster]
Abraham Bernstein: ... For Victory.

Hey, put that water back!, 15 March 2000
6/10
Author: Falcon-51 from South Carolina

Made-For-TV movies of today are poorly acted, exaggerated and make you happy you have a remote control, so you can quickly change channels to X-Files reruns. However back in the 80's many TV movies were brilliant including this one. "V" takes you on an adventure where some aliens try to become friendly with humans and then rip us off. Except they're not after our silverware or jewelry they want the real important stuff like water, and I'm not talking about a couple gallons of Evian. I am talking about the entire world supply. Take time to enjoy a mini-series that will stand for all time. Great performances by all players. Kudos to Marc Singer.
