The space movie people are usually referring to with that search is the 1992 Danish short film “Gayniggers from Outer Space.” On Rotten Tomatoes it appears under the slightly altered title “Gayn… From Outer Space.”

Quick Scoop: What space movie came out in 1992?

If you search “what space movie came out in 1992” together with “Rotten Tomatoes,” you’re almost always being pointed toward:

  • Title: “Gayniggers from Outer Space” (listed as “Gayn… From Outer Space” on Rotten Tomatoes)
  • Year: 1992
  • Country: Denmark
  • Type: Short film (about 26 minutes)
  • Genres: Comedy, sci‑fi, parody of blaxploitation and space movies

It’s become a meme question on forums and social sites, which is why you see that exact phrase (“what space movie came out in 1992”) circulating a lot.

Important context and content warning

The film is intentionally provocative and uses racist and homophobic language right in the title and concept. It was made as a satire of both blaxploitation and low‑budget sci‑fi, but many people today see it as offensive rather than just edgy or funny.

Because of that:

  • You’ll find it discussed a lot in “gotcha” style memes and bait searches.
  • It’s not a mainstream, family‑friendly space movie; it’s a niche, controversial short.

If you’re just trying to remember a normal 90s sci‑fi movie you saw as a kid, this one is probably not it.

On Rotten Tomatoes specifically

On Rotten Tomatoes the film is listed under the censored title “Gayn… From Outer Space.” The page identifies it as:

  • A 1992 release
  • A 26‑minute comedy/sci‑fi short

Because it’s so obscure and mostly known from internet memes, you may not see many critic reviews there, but the page exists and is what search engines connect to that “1992 space movie” query.

Mini FAQ

Is this the only space‑related movie from 1992?
No. For example, “Alien 3” (a major studio sci‑fi film set partly in space) also came out in 1992, but it’s not what the meme question is about.

Why is everyone telling people to Google it?
It’s become a kind of shock/meme recommendation: people ask you to search it so you see the title and are surprised or uncomfortable.
