Horrors of Spider Island and Pod People have special places in my heart for me (the former being the only episode I saw on TV and the latter being the first episode I saw on tape), but I think the episode I like the most is Escape 2000. The riffing is on-point and it's just such a weird hybrid of Escape from New York and The Warriors that ends up being really bleak but perfect for savaging. I'm also partial to the two Fugitive Alien "films".

boner confessor posted:castleton is a real university located in the vicinity of rutland, vermont where the film was made, so the "official" time chasers shirt is itself a knockoff... I know it's a real University, but at the time that Time Chasers was made, that was the shirt design. So it's a knockoff, yes, but an accurate one?

Failson posted:"If we're ever attacked by a white rectangle, the Air Force has it covered." For whatever reason the two riffs that make me laugh just thinking about them from Crawling Hand are the fight in the Malt Shop ("No Zombies, not allowed! No Strangling...music's cool though") and whoever shouted out "HI I'M ROLAND GIFT FROM THE FINE YOUNG CANNIBAAAAAAALS!" in response to Joel saying the main character now looks like Roland Gift just because of how goofy that voice is. I really liked Crawling Hand despite the obvious roughness of Season 1, though I first saw it when I'd maybe only seen 6 or so episodes thanks to tapes\DVDs so that might have something to do with it

I remember when people would say "don't worry, Sharknado is great because they made it bad on purpose" as if that was somehow supposed to excuse it being garbage. Now that we're up to like 4 of them nobody is saying that anymore thankfully.

Failson posted:The guy who played JK Robertson in Time Chasers, though, he's my favorite example of someone completely not able to take a joke. He was incredibly offended anyone would mock a distinguished actor like himself (no, really). Was It JK's actor who had the problem? I thought it was Matt's actor (a.k.a. Pink Boy a.k.a. Michael Medved).

luxury handset posted:the running time for beast of yucca flats is under an hour and it doesn't even have recorded sound. francis didn't have a mic to record any dialogue which is why it's all shouted from offscreen or narrated. it is barely a movie This probably explains why he padded out his next two movies with a whole lot of goddamn nothing going on. And smoking, and coffee, and sexual assault, and parachuting, and more light aircraft, and extended music/dance party sequences, and people shooting from light aircraft, etc.

Cemetry Gator posted:So what's the darkest episode, in terms of riffs. I watched the Painted Hills last night, and Jesus, it got really dark in places. Especially with all the poisoning and murder going around. Sidehackers is pretty dark even with the rape scene removed, and of course there's High School Big Shot, which ends with a suicide and several shootings.

Hogama posted:They also tended to make fun of Asian accents, particularly Japanese I don't really remember this that much (mostly I remember them making fun of all the bad dub voices in Japanese movies, i.e. "We like it very much!" from Prince of Space), but I do remember in The Skydivers them getting audibly pissed at the song by the in-movie band that literally used the Oriental Riff followed by the Drummer going "Ah, so". In conclusion, MST3K is a land of contrasts.

Action Jacktion posted:It isn't stock footage, it's a miniature of the Tokyo Cultural Hall. It was advertising a Swedish documentary called Mein Kampf, which is what the lettering above Hitler says. Ok so someone built a miniature of the Tokyo Cultural Hall, and put an advertisement for a Hitler Documentary on it, and then blew it up. This makes even less sense than it being WWII stock footage

Action Jacktion posted:The movie does have some really good effects, but I think people assume this is real because they can’t imagine anyone would build it as a miniature. I guess the filmmakers wanted it as realistic as possible, Hitler advertisement and all. I think it's more the Hitler Documentary Advertisement part that still gets to me. I guess it was a thing that was happening at the time, but drat. Just seems like an odd choice if you're going for accuracy, i'm sure the cultural center had other advertisements at other times around then.
