"Gort, barrada klaatu niktu."

I love this!

Mark,

You are referring to Evil Dead?

Interesting connection.

No, in The Day the Earth Stood Still, when Gort (the gold robot) comes out of the flying saucer, the alien guy says, "Gort, barrada klaatu niktu." Which means, appartnetly, "Gort, kill all the humans."

George Lucas paid hommage to the phrase in Return of the Jedi by name three of the aliens Barrada, Klaatu and Niktu.

Yes, I realize how dorky knowing any of this is...
