Yes, I think the title of the movie should have been "DJ Fly and the Fresh
Prince Whoop Some Alien Ass".

And you're not the only one who cringes at the lack of consistency
between Hollywood physics and actual physics.  E.g., *no* nuclear bomb
will destroy an object 1/4 the mass of the moon, I don't think. (I could
be wrong.)
