What you understand is utter hogwash. There is only *one* AotKT, and
it is definitely a parody. There is a scene in it in which a Japanese
scientist talks, with a bland American voice on the soundtrack and the
lip-sync totally off. I can't believe that anyone could see this and
think that the movie was trying to be serious.

On the other hand, despite that fact that it is a parody, AotKT is a
very poorly-made film, and probably deserves to be put on a bad-film
list. It's still a scream to watch though.
