    Easily fixed, @JD . You can edit and add it to your post , then contact a Mod and ask them to edit your poll for you, (if you are no longer able to).

    Woops, sorry. Added it to the post and poll, but it's at the bottom of the poll instead of being with the rest of Avro Arrows entries.

    That's from Iron Sky: The Coming Race and the person is exactly who you think it is.

    I came close to voting for those two, and probably would have if I had gone with 5 instead of 3 votes.
    I'm a little surprised that with all of the crazy creatures people posted, it's the two old guys on horses that has the most votes. I guess it must because that's the only Star Trek one, and who the old guys are.

    * looks closer * Wait, what?! :eek:

    I’m guessing it’s a time travel movie, but is it as bizarre as it seems based on that image?

    :lol: I don’t think I’ve heard our illustrious captains described thusly before! “Two old guys on horses” needs to make it into the official description for Generations somehow! :lol:

    But you’ll be happy to know that things have changed, and the current leader is... a different guy on a horse! ;)

    The Iron Sky films are actually not time travel movies (unless somebody decides to digg up a recent post of mine to bust me on a technicality), they are satires of fantastical conspiracy theories. The first film was simply about the Nazis-on-the-moon idea, the second one introduced the rich and powerful being really lizard people from the Hollow Earth. So, yeah, pretty bizarre.

    I had the first one of those on one of my streaming queues for a while, but never got around to watching it before it got pulled.
