Most Ludicrous Premise
The Wind in Space The asteroid causes a wind in space which ... can I even explain this? The wind in space causes many natural disasters on the earth and threatens to destroy the planet as the rogue planet approaches. A more enlightened film might have referred to this "wind in space" as ... "gravity."

"Alas, Poor Yorick"
Sink in Jell-O™ One of the astronauts has a jetpack malfunction, and lands in a liquid area of the Planet on the Prowl, sinking slowly into the jello.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

"Whoops!"
Lives Hanging by a Thread They have to rescue several spacemen who have been pulled off course by that darned wind in space. The spacemen's lives are hanging (literally) by threads.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!
