Exploring the 1992 Space Movie Meme Phenomenon

"Space movie 1992" may sound like a popular search term, but it's actually more of a long-running joke among sci-fi enthusiasts. Let's dive into the details.

For those of us who grew up during the early days of the internet, we were often bombarded with disturbing and unsettling content from sites like LiveLeak and Rotten.com. These experiences shaped our perception of the online world at a young age.

Back in the early 2010s, if a friend suggested you search for something on Google, you might have been wary. But don't worry, searching for "space movie 1992" won't lead you to anything disturbing. However, if you saw a picture of Peter Griffin with a warning not to search it, here's what you would discover if you decided to look it up. Just a heads up, some people may find this content offensive.

Space movie 1992 meme explained

If you search “space movie 1992” on Google, you’ll find a film called Gayn*s in Outer Space.

You will be taken to various websites, such as the movie's IMDb and Wikipedia pages or MUBI's streaming hub (currently not available for viewing). The racist title of the movie is what made it go viral as a meme originally.

In 2020, @mecchaa.memes first shared it on Instagram, featuring a picture of Walter White in the 'Ozymandias' episode of Breaking Bad. This led to many versions of the same warning: "Whatever you do, don't search space movie 1992."

The 26-minute short film, directed by Morten Lindberg, offers a unique twist on the blaxploitation genre. The official synopsis describes how extraterrestrial beings from the planet Anus travel the galaxy to liberate men who are 'oppressed' by females, paving the way for a completely homosexual society.

“Homosexuality has always interested me, as have black people,” the director explained in an interview with Elitisti.

"Of course, our film has a deeper meaning, but it's not meant as social criticism (we're too clever for that). We were inspired by blaxploitation films we had seen and wanted to bring that theme into our own time. Denmark may not be entirely free of racism, but it's much lower compared to the United States. We aimed to address taboo topics and incorporate them into our film."

"It may not have a Rotten Tomatoes score, but it was mentioned on the r/badmovies subreddit a few years back. One user described it as a terrible film with a questionable title. Just to note, the movie features a predominantly Black cast. The writer was likely Scandinavian and exploring the blaxploitation film culture."

One person mentioned that this film is a classic example of the kind of content created in the past when editing required physical tools like blades and tape. It is famously associated with the troll group GNAA from the early days of slashdot.
