They took out the sex scenes from Samurai Cop as well. I think they also removed a rape scene out of Guy From Harlem and took out a really uncomfortable racist bit from Dark Power.

You know, I'm glad they learned their Sidehackers lesson.

A Talking Cat!?! is a special kind of bad, best explained with its IMDB trivia page:

- The interior of Phil and Chris' home is the same set used for the 2011 pornographic movie Jules Jordan presents rear end Worship 13 in the scenes with porn star Franceska Jaimes.

- Director David DeCoteau revealed on The B-Movies Podcast that Eric Roberts' entire part was recorded in the actor's own living room, in just 15 minutes.

- This movie takes place in two major locations, but includes a total of 59 establishing shots.

I watched the preview for the RT version, and just the 'animation' for the Talking Cat(!?!)'s mouth is hypnotic.

Update on the MST Live Tour!

The gist of it: They went with Deathstalker I thinking they couldn't get the rights for Deathstalker II. There is a lot of sex in Deathstalker I, but they figured they could edit that out. Turned out when they did, it was only about 53 minutes.

Didn't I basically call this? :v:

Rifftrax have several films by this director (David Giancola)! There's also Radical Jack and Icebreaker.

The best part of Pressure Point for me was when, during one of the driving/traveling scenes, I realised they were driving around Wilmington, DE, exactly on one of my old city-commute routes (me: 'Um, that looks exactly like the railway station on MLK Boulevard...huh, cos it is.')

It's a target rich environment since despite how hard they try, it's still starring the guy who is exactly opposite of what you would picture when you think 'hardcore international secret agent' (who is possibly wearing a woman's shirt) in Vermont that cannot be hidden from how Vermont it is. It's more good-natured ribbing than savage if that helps. They don't go at him like they do, say, a James Nguyen film. They do get in some nice Time Chaser references, too.

Oh, man, he did Radical Jack? That's a favorite. When they had a big sale some months back I bought it and The Guy From Harlem and, ooh. /chef's kiss.

That's what caused my 'bwuh?' moment, since his work is usually so relentlessly Vermonter, then suddenly they're in Delaware (which is decidely not New England.) Maybe they got a bit of bonus budget :v:

Icebreaker is also very, very goofy. It's Die Hard At A Ski Resort, but John McClane is played by Sean Astin as a dweebie ski paramedic trying to impress his girlfriend's dad, Stacy Keach. And the lead terrorist is Bruce Campbell with a skinhead.

Dawgstar

I think Campbell talks about that in one of his books and basically was just there to hit his mark and bark and got to enjoy a ski resort at the same time. Nice work if you can get it!

I read Campbell's first book like a year ago and have no memory of him talking about that movie at all. I remember his early life, the Evil Dead stuff, working on Hercules and Xena, and working with the Coens, on Briscoe County Jr.... (There's also a great post-script added for the paperback where he was doing a book signing and some chainsmoker-sounding broad comes up to the table and starts smack talking him, and he's about to have her thrown out when he looks up and realises it's Lucy Lawless in a wig.)

Icebreaker makes no sense but it does have Sean Astin flailing around in the snow and Bruce Campbell being VERY EVIL.

Remember the cab ride in the escape from Bob Evil's foyer? The full scene has him talking about 'ragheads' and then as an added bonus pretends to know karate to distract the guards to Chin and Guess Jeans can sneak into the airport. As Mike says, "It's no wonder we cut him the first time around."

I like those little occurrences where you find an actor featured in an embarrassingly bad mst3k film later did some fantastic well known stuff.

Like, most recently I was rewatching Space Mutiny to get ready for the live event, and noticed that one of the composers, just starting out his career in film scoring, was Mark Mancina. As in, Twister, Con Air, The Lion King, Tarzan, and more recently, Moana.

Aside from the Bellarian dance sequences, the music in that movie isn't half bad.

E: And the nightclub scene, although does that really count as music? Or dancing?
