ok, in the pink eye episode, cartman was first dressed as hitler. then after a visit to the principal's office, he looked like a KKK member. well, i watched the twilight zone movie today, and the first story had some guy traveling from one place to another in historical events. his first stop was in germany during wwii with nazi's running all about. his second stop was like in the 50's or so and he was surrounded by KKK members. perhaps this is just a weird coincidence? what do you think?

As a fan of the Twilight Zone... That segment on TZ:The Movie is an original story and unfortunately considered the worst story in the film, also actor David Jensen and two kids were killed filming that scene.

     The story you saw was NOT what was ORIGINALLY written
   in that segment.  The producers & director edited what they
    already had.
    If I was the studio executive I would have cut the entire
   sequence out of film all together. There was a great debate
   about this when this happened.

Apparently, what had happened is that a lid on a paint can or a paint size container of special effects explosives was left somewhere on the set and when it exploded it shot up to a helicopter & knocked the tail roader out, causing the pilot to lose control.

     Also, the kids were working after hours (as required by
    California Law) and there was no adult juvenial supervisors
     or associates on set(as required by Calif. Law).

Really? I liked that one. Couldn't stand the one about the little kid with the weird powers. My all-time fav is the last one, with the critter ripping chunks out of the airplane. That was great.

And that was redone from the TV show, that original gremlin bit starred (gag) William Shatner.

That isn't exactly the kind of answer i was looking for... i asked if you thought the nazi/kkk thing was coincidence with the pinkeye episode... NOT asking 'what do you think about that movie?' also, i already knew about the guy and kids that got killed in the making of the movie.

I think you are looking too far into this. Like Stan dressing up as Raggedy Andy being 'stolen' from Home Improvement.
