It's actually a punishingly dull movie sadly

I watched it a couple more times and I can see what you're saying now.

So is it kind of a Japanese counterpart to Morons From Outer Space or what? Not plotwise but tonewise, I mean.

This movie is silly, weird, and unfortunately dull as bones which comes as a surprise. You wouldn't think a movie that contains the following would be boring but somehow it is:

1. Space McDonald's (as seen in this video)
2. Extremely homo-erotic horseplay between a white man and a japanese man, both of whom are in their 30s
3. The sudden appearance of a white female character who is dressed in the latest Janet Reno clothing line from the local Space Sear
4. A zero G sex scene between a japanese man and a sloppy bodied white woman
5. A gang of eco terrorists from earth who are trying to stop scientists from turning Jupiter into a star so that space colony citizens can get more energy. One of the eco terrorists is a chubby white dude with a mustache who rips his shirt off and start assaulting people and "JS Project" (Jupiter Star) equipment
6. The eco terrorists from earth BEACH HIPPIE commune that is led by BEACH HIPPIE JESUS. Their mascot is a dolphin that is named "Jupiter"
7. That mascot ends up getting attacked by a shark and the lead protagonist in the film kills the shark in gory fashion using a boat motor
8. The red storm of jupiter is inhabited by some kind of lit turd looking space whale called the "jupiter ghost"
9. The movie ends with a black whole colliding with jupiter, causing jupiter to get crushed into an egg shape then grows some kind of rainbow trail and shoots off into space like some kind of cosmic super sperm
