And he STILL gets shot twice and winds up rising from the dead.
(Robert Wise swears up and down he didn't notice or intend any Christ imagery associated with Klaatu.)

One of my Forgotten Futures adventures had a lot of aliens in it. When I was play-testing I used variations on that phrase every time an alien was talking:
(hostile sentry) - Klatu! Baradu nickto! (gestures with weapon)
(lovingly) - Oh Klatuuuuu! Klatu baradu....
and so forth. As one of the players said, "Obviously a language of few words but many subtle meanings."
