Welcome to Death Valley Days, the driver is either missing or he's dead.
It's an early version of West Side Story! Ughn. I just met a girl named Ughn.
So, let's recap the action so far. Uh, nothing really. You're right, let's move on.
Here's a wild idea. Why don't you rotate to the other side of the pole, where the fire ISN'T?

We secretly switched Ator's coffee with Folger's Crystals... Let's watch!
I use 2 blades. The first blade lifts the head away from the body, before the head can snap back, and...
He who reads these words of wit eats his little balls of s...HEY! Now that's immature, even for the Dark Ages!
The reason this scene is so good is because we care about the characters.
We do. I mean, we do?

The IRS.
Who are these guys? Ahhh ... these must be the cave dwellers!
That's right, 35 minutes into the film and we're finally at the first plot point.
Got it - frolic, cavort, parade, gad-about the ship, that sort of thing...
Hey, Grog just threw a bone into the air and it turned into a spaceship!
"The world was populated by wild, cruel, and ignorant men." Oh, you mean the eighties.
It's the best show tune ever! It's brassy! It's sassy! It's a musical hum-dinger!

Tits all over,eh,I mean,it's all over for you Ator!
I know we've been breast....BEST friends.
"They're invisible!" I don't believe it. They were too cheap to hire villains in this movie.

At 13:34, Crow tries to motorboat Miles OKeefe as he bends over...
So if Sonny Bono and Freddy Mercury had a kid, it would be the villain in this goober?
*Ridiculous* movie, great, great riffs, and that Mila chick is *hothothot!* Definitely one of my favorite episodes

I don't know what it is but something about ator just drives me nuts. Maybe it's the custom and the hair, but its like they took the actors best features and displayed them in such a way that makes me think he has had botched plastic surgery and bad implants. It's not hard to make an attractive person ugly but it's really hard to make an attractive person look like an ugly person trying to look attractive. Maybe I just feel into a hypnotic state from too much bobbing pecs..... They are like eyes...... They follow you

Hey, what happened to Dr. F's glasses?
I love this movie, I used to watch these movies when I was a kid, I actually rented this at the video store, it is sooo much better when MST3K does it though. The bad 80's and 90's stuff is always my favorite because it is the stuff of my youth. I remember Master Ninja when it was a show on T.V., I was about 8, I loved it, so seeing this stuff riffed is just awesome for me.
I seem to recall reading that Miles O'Keefe is actually ashamed of this movie...
Thong's my hero.

It's too bad for this actress that 'Twilight' didn't come out until so many years later--she's every bit the horrible actress that Kristen Stewart is, and hotter to boot.
This and Pod People are probably my favorite, go-to eps. Long live MST3k!
He had time to kill the deer, tan the hides, make the hang glider, make the bombs and take on the city , and in only 10 mins! Ah the classic funny that is still funny lol
Did anyone else get the Jimmy Carl Black reference?!?! The kung fu guy TOTALLY looks like him!!! "Hi, I'm Jimmy Carl Black, I'm the Indian of the group!" If you like Zappa, watch 200 Motels, its Jimmy at his best.

The kennedy reference by crow at the very beginning caught me way off guard. Wow that struck me as funny in my own stupid way!
Anyone else notice that Forrester's wearing different glasses here?
HAMSTERS
DO NOT CRUSH
This movie is soo good at being bad, that it hurts just to laugh!!
So, this is a bad imitation of Conan, right? Different backstory for our main guy, of course.
Classic episode. The riffing is a cornucopia of pop culture, literature, and theology. Love it!

Hey, wait! Dr. Forrester already called Joel "Boobie"!
Geez, those robots would die if they ever saw Linkara's show.

Apparently Miles O'Keefe was amused by this episode. He knew the film was cheesy and enjoyed it being skewered.

I've always loved any episode where the 'bots are dressed in their jammies. Tom in his tiny robe always cracks me up.

Each time I see Ator take off on that hang glider out of now where- I don't know, it just makes everything in my life okay.
This episode is so hilarious I actually cried, I laughed so hard.
