"It's evil! Don't touch it!"
I happened to love how utterly out of left field that part was. And casting Ralph Richardson as kind of a dotty, indifferent God was brilliant. Dark? Yes. Funny? Hell yes!

Blasphemy! This ending was fantastically unsettling. Really caught me off guard as a kid.

Well, the biggest downer was reading what happened to that guy who played the leader of the dwarves (dwarfs?). Speaking of leaders...that guy.....dr. Evil or whatever his name was....I'm not sure his leadership skills were really up to snuff. Seems like he surrounded himself with people who he considered absolutely useless as evidenced by his nonchalant way of blowing them all up for seemingly no reason.
