The Ape of Naples posted:I wonder how "blue" the new MST3k will go. I'm guessing not at all (which is fine) but maybe to the level of the MST3k movie with the occasional 'poo poo' thrown in. I think the beeping they do on Rifftrax is funnier than actually hearing the swears. Watched the Kingdom of the Spiders Rifftrax on Hulu, and hearing Mike give out a long, angry "You're BEEPing kidding me" after Shatner explained the origins of his character's name of "Rack" is one of the funniest things I've heard.

quote:Filmmaker Dave Eddy revealed that this is another movie that kind of collapsed halfway through production and got taken over by another director (him). The original director, Tony Doublin, was battling with the movie’s producer, who felt the fight and action scenes weren’t being done correctly. (He might have been right!) Ultimately Doublin quit and Eddy and his team (dubbed the “Damage Control Unit”) was hired to salvage the movie as best they could. This is the result. quote:He also noted that, while they did so, he and some of the crew remarked that it would be great if some day their movie would show up on “Mystery Science Theater 3000”

CBJSprague24 posted:A couple Decembers ago, I couldn't sleep and turned on AMC at 3am to find the movie Santa Claus, a 1959 movie that probably sucked then and sure as poo poo was nightmare fuel in 2014. I saw it in theaters. It was the early 80s, and a General Cinema theater has a kid's morning matinee, and this was one of the films playing. Never remember what it was called, all I remembered was Santa Claus vs the Devil. And this was shortly after The Amityville Horror had come out, and the trailers for that had scared the crap out of me

These are super bare bones, just like the original Rhino sets. Even the DVD menus are just the title with the ending theme. They specifically said they did this so they didn't feel like they were ripping off the buyers of the Rhino sets by including a whole lot of new stuff.

I'd recommend Guy From Harlem, Ghosthouse, and Abraxas as on par with many MST3K episodes. Kingdom of the Spiders. Everyone should watch Kingdom of the Spiders, if only for Mike's reaction when learning why Shatner's character is called "Rack". "You're. BLEEEEEP. Kidding. Me."

Powered Descent posted:A bunch of people have mentioned that MST3K: The Movie was their first intro to the show. It kind of amazes me that it found that much life on video. It ran in barely any theaters at all (apparently the studio was actively trying to bury it). We had to drive 30 miles to a theater because that was the only place that was showing it. My sister, my friend, and I all saw the movie on opening day, and it wasn't too hard to find, because my city had a couple of "art house" theaters that showed nothing but independent stuff, and MST3K: The Movie was one of them.

Gaspy Conana posted:What are the most watchable MST films other than This Island Earth? By 'most watchable' I mean least boring; they can be bad-good or good-good. Gotta go with Angels Revenge, again. Giant Spider Invasion. Squirm. Master Ninja I & II as well, but I may be biased. I actually watched that show when it was originally on. Some of the TV pilots too. Code Name: Diamond Head and Stranded in Space are watchable. And Riding With Death.

Never noticed it before, but when watching one of Joel's eps, in the opening credits, when it cuts to Joel and the Bots in the theater, the shot is actually reversed (The Gizmonics on Joel's jumpsuit is backwards).

I think it was during the "to make his robot friends" line. I also noticed when Joel is making notes in the credits (when he tips his helmet), not only does his marker have the cap still on, he's holding it upside down.

Other than the packaging (4 discs in a single case), the contents are identical to the Rhino releases.

It was called "The Master" when it aired on NBC, and it was standard fair for an action show at the time. Hell, CBS had their own Ninja-themed show a decade later called "Raven".

Got the new boxset, and thiere's a nice little doc on there called "Mike, by Joel", in which Joe talks about how Mike came to hired for the show and about how he became the de facto go to actor for all the bit parts. The interesting bit is that when he was leaving, apparently Joel was pushing for Bridget to take over as host, instead of having, in his words, "another doughy mid-western guy". Though what is interesting is he wanted her to play Joel, just a Joel who had been hit by a sex change ray.

Gozinbulx posted:Man, I don't know how I'd never seen Future War but holy poo poo what a bad movie. It feels like the writer/director/everybody forgot to throw in a any exposition that actually matters to the characters to get them from one scene to another. All culminating in a hilarious riff where Captain Polaris (lol) angrily explains that the entire reason the main character is there is because a hither to unreferenced character named Fred Buroughs told him, and Mike and the bots start wondering out loud who he is and guessing if different random people are Fred Buroughs. quote:This was the directorial debut of Anthony Doublin, the award-winning special effect/miniature model maker from films like Bride of Re-Animator and the Carnosaur films. The actual "tracker" feet and mechanical tracker from Future War were taken by Doublin for use in Carnosaur 3.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:It was Future Wars that the director got completely and vocally upset about the riff, right? Fun game, watch the bonus features on the Shout DVDs, and count how many people involved hate that MST3K did their film, against those who don't mind. The "star" of Pumaman, for one, wasn't happy. Nor was the director of "Alien from LA". One of the stars of "Squirm" liked it, but he said the director wasn't happy. Greydon Clark (Angel's Revenge, Final Justice) was happy people were just watching his films.

Noticed Bill was one of the writers on Starcrash. Also, you'd think by the 50th time Stella got captured, she would've told Akton that he should investigate, and she'd wait in the spaceship.
