Title: MST3K - best eps?
Post by: ToyMan on April 09, 2008, 11:18:18 PM
okay, i've been watching a bunch of the older MST3K episodes. i guess i'm more of a mike fan. it seems like the joel episodes, especially those with the original servo are pretty flat. i mean, in some instances, they're just reading the screen titles in a goofy voice. this is comedy?

so, are there any older episodes that are especially good? for reference, some of my favorite eps are "mitchell", "girl in the golden boots", and the feature film "this island earth".

I like the episodes with the movies of "Jack Forst" and "The Final Sacrifice".  I think the shows with Mike are a little funnier.

There's a few others, but they're my favorites right off the bat.

I ultimately like the Mike episodes aw well.

I think Jack Frost and Wild World of Batwoman are absolutely histerical.  I also like Princ of Space, Giant Spider Invasion, and Skydivers.

mst3k: deathstalker and the warriors from hell had some really good lines in it.

Quotewhoah! rigormortis! they must have pounded re-bar into her!

mst3k: laserblast had that fun running "ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!" gag, and all of the redneck jokes near the end of mst3k: the incredible melting man were pretty good.

I bought the VHS of this movie and love it.  The cover shows three different people that are not in the move at all.

Merlins Magical Shop of Wonder is a funny episode, but it's newer.

For some reason Mitchell has always been my favorite... maybe its the song our fine host breaks out into...

I think my favorite was The Pod People.

"You can do magic things!"
"It's called evil, kid."

"I'll never forget you, Trumpy."
"The way you callously knocked off fifteen people, I'll never forget that. Don't ever change, Trumpy!"

I became a moderate fan of MST3K late in the game, and only caught the last Mike seasons on SciFi.

Immediately coming to mind for favorite eps are the "Robot Rump." double feature with "The Screaming Skull",

"DAMN, OUT OF PIGS BLOOD", "Don't touch Mickey, you don't know where he's been!"

and "Soulkeeper"

"Maybe by pursuing them, I could catch them in some manner..."

I love the part in Cave Dwelers where Joel and the bots re-inact the opening credits of the film. Gets me every time! :bouncegiggle:

I really liked the end of the episode where Joel and the Bots gave their review of that film to the Mads, who were not very impressed about what the SOL crew thought of the film.  But seeing the other crud that came along, I think they should've saved that for Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Here are my favorites in order:


5. Giant Spider Invasion
4. Space Mutiny
3. Overdrawn at the Memory Bank (starring Raul Julia)
2. Parts: The Clonus Horror (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078062/) (the producers actually tried to sue the makers of The Island for ripping off their movie)

And by far my favorite MST3K episode which you all must see:
1. Time Chasers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0145529/) (aka Tangents)  :cheers:

I didn't know that NetFlix has such a collection of MST3K available. I love the show, but usually just caught it when it was on tv. I should have Ring of Terror probably friday. I haven't seen this one yet, but i'm sooo looking forward to it.

I have to confess that I've only seen one MST3K episode when the SciFi Channel was part of what was on offer here. I can't remember the episode or the film, but it could have been one of the Godzilla versus ...... movies which are great.

The scene has about five hundred guys gathered around a table looking at something, one guy walks past, looks at them and walks on. One of the robots says: "Hey guys: am I the only one working here?"  :teddyr: :teddyr:

On the IMDB page, there is a quote from Crow T Robot who hears a door slam in the film and says: "That's the sound of the director giving up and leaving."  :teddyr: :bouncegiggle:

Post by: ToyMan on July 27, 2008, 03:07:09 AM
yeah, that's a classic, for sure.

one of my favorite bits was in "the girl with the golden boots", where one of the heavies/cronies is sort of leaning into the frame in a scene where the characters are meeting in the manager's quarters, and as soon as i saw him, i thought the same thing as one of the bots said, something like "hey, look! count chocula!"...

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the MST series, but I liked it more for the movies than the robots/host  ... mainly because I love bad movies, like everyone else here. But for the most part I just wished those guys would shut up so I could watch the move lol .. just wondered if anyone else felt the same way.

I second (or third) the mentions of Space Mutiny.

I also liked Zombie Nightmare, partial because I'd seen the UNMisted version of the film years before.  Although it does run a bit low on steam during the last half hour, it's still pretty funny.  And it's got ADAM WEST!  And he's playing a bad guy!  How cool is that?

There's one scene, for instance, where the police are trying to subdue this wild, out of control bad guy.  They finally get him on the ground and Adam West walks by and goes, "Bad boy" and kicks him in the face.  Tom goes, "Oh, that was easy for him, he just pretended it was Tim Burton!"

I rewatched The Giant Gila Monster last night.  That godawful "song" that the  "hero" sings to the cripple girl is hilarious. That and the whole "knee up" thing all of the male characters kept doing.

Last night i saw HOBGOBLINS.

I love the part when Servo makes those cardboard copys of the guys and they leave them in front of the movie with a tape player that plays pre-recorded reactions to the movie so they dont have to watch it!

I think my absolute favorite episode is Santa Claus  not the one with the martians, the Mexican one.  The whole movie is so bizarre.

I also really like Prince of Space, Girl in Gold Boots,  and Swamp Diamonds

The Final Sacrifice that was a good one, not on DVD yet.
Boggy Creek 2 a personal favorite
Mitchell and  Final Justice Joe Don Baker
Devil Fish

If you get Godzilla vs Megalon from netflix or a rental place, rip a copy, its been taken out of print and recalled.

MANOS, I ACCUSE MY PARENTS, THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE, TIME CHASERS, and SANTA CLAUS VS. THE MARTIANS stand out for me.  (I'm partial to Joel & the CC years).

But there are so many that I never saw, or only saw once on it's initial broadcast.  I've always wanted to see GIRLS TOWN again, I hope it gets a release.
