I take back what I said about the Russo Finnish movies. Just rewatched Jack Frost on Netflix and it's definitely a great episode and a competently made movie with a bonkers story. Im also 30 minutes into Sidehackers and actually quite like the movie. Could be cause I like motorsports and have watched sidecar racing at the IOM TT. Feels like one of those 70s movies like Cockfighter.

Just came to me: it was KTMA, but I do love the poo poo out of Phase IV as a stand-alone film.

Phase IV is great. Saul Bass' only film. They recently found the full version of the ending montage. It's on youtube.

I watched Rocketship X-M because it's one of the landmark episodes (first Kevin Murphy and Frank) and that was one of the hardest movies to sit through. The wiki description of the plot is like 5-6 paragraphs and the first two or three sentences take up 3/4 of the movie.

Apparently she was also in some lovely cyborg movie co-starring Jackie Earle Haley and Tom Jane, wrote a kids cartoon called "Dwegons and Leprechauns", and is producing something called "Deadman's Bluff", which sounds like it's borrowing more from The King in Yellow than True Detective did.

The whole movie does feel like a really weird bait & switch. Like the producer wanted a fun action film about a new motorsport craze, the director wanted a gritty revenge film, and they tried to have it both ways. I don't think there's any evidence that something like this happened, but it's the only possible explanation that makes any sense to me. Edit: According to Wikipedia, the Sidehackers director later made a movie about cockfighting called Supercock.

I think more than any other MST3k movie, I'd want to hear a director's commentary, or at least an account of someone who was involved in the movie, on Sidehackers. The whole whiplash switch from "sport movie sort of" to "revenge for my raped/murdered fiance" just makes no sense, and I'd love to hear what the hell made that happen. Or what the crew's reaction was.

Exploitation movies have rape in them because that's what their lovely audiences expected, no matter the subject. It's like the singing in Elvis movies.

It's Godzilla, and he doesn't drill inside as much as he pilots his sub into his mouth and gets swallowed, then escapes through a hole in his shoulder created by a drill missile. But yeah, that one.

raditts posted:I'm sure you know this already by now, but boy does that movie go downhill fast. Apparently that movie is the reason they started watching the movies in their entirety before they choose them to riff. So I finally finished Sidehackers. I have a strange opinion. I actually think the movie was pretty decent for a cheap 70s exploitation film. The antagonist JC is crazy and a weird and entertainingly unique kinda way. The main dude Rommel is a good understated standard 70s tough guy. My opinion of the movie being actually quite decent is probably based both on what I tend to like in films AND the sheer number of films I've seen that I think are ALOT worse than Sidehackers. The way the "sidehack" came into play at the final showdown was unexpected too. My even more unpopular opinion is that like 80% of the riffing was pretty bad. Alot of was plain old not funny or just didn't seem to come from a clever place in context of the film. So much of it was absolute throwaway stuff, definitely brought on by the fact that, as stated, the writers didn't know what they were in for when they started the movie. Interestingly, the 20% that was good was actually pretty funny. the repeated jokes about the fridge traveling and other stuff was really funny. But overall, did not enjoy the riffing and sometimes literally wished they would shut up and let me hear the movie. Even weirder is that alot of the skits in between were REALLY funny. The skit which culminated in Mike appearing as JC in a spaceship with a Sidehack was really funny. The "terminology" skit was awful though, really did not like that one.

I was just listening to some industrial/electronic music from one of my favorite artists at work, and it's something I've already listened to and am a big fan of, but I didn't realize until today that this one has a bunch of samples from Teenagers From Outer Space in it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmWCQfIazgM I wouldn't have caught it except we just watched that like 2 days ago on Netflix. I think another track from this same album might have Kalgan from Space Mutiny too.

Back in the early 1990s, that was one of my favorite songs, so I was pretty much floored when I saw "The Violent Years" on MST3K a few years later when it got to the judge's speech near the end, since the song uses a huge portion of it throughout. Prior to that I had no idea it was originally from an Ed Wood movie.

Get the rights to a movie and replace the title and credits using footage from another movie. I guess at that point it was considered a different movie so they could resell it. I have no idea what the movie at the beginning of Cave Dwellers was, and I think Space Travelers was just a shot of a globe or something. RiffTrax mentioned the Pod People connection when they released Galaxy Invader, too.

They also did Prisoners of the Lost Universe, clips of which were in the opening to Stranded in Space. By the way, if you ever wondered about that tune they sing when they bring up mediocre movies from the 1960s and 70s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuWVyDBmuR8
