I think the opening host segment is a graphic representation of the damage inflicted upon watching this "movie." I mean, Crow says it best. "What the heck was that thing? I'm blind! I'M BLIND!"

Okay, so I'm trying to piece together the plot from this one.

There's two rival organizations, Q, and Mighty Jack (should have done some work on the name for that second one). And there's something about a scientist developing some technology that makes ice...hot...or something. The words "molecular manipulation" were in there somewhere. And there was an evil plot to use this technology to melt some island somewhere. And that one guy's son turned out to be a villain, and then he died, and there was a lot of weird submarine stuff. That's all I got out of this. I could watch it again to try and figure it out, but it's pretty painfully plotted.

The best part of Mighty Jack: (paraphrased) "the island is made out of ice, yet it's submerged in warmer waters. That defies all the laws of physics!"
The laws of physics determine the melting point of water? Astonishing! Fascinating! Why does it get dark when I close my eyes? Because of the laws of physics! How do plants grow? Photosyn--I mean, the laws of physics commands them to grow!

A puppet using a puppet? We're through the looking glass people.

Dr. F (to Joel) : "You blinking pinky-ring!"

TV's Frank (to Dr. F) : "I want children."

How could anyone NOT love this ep? :p

I love hearing supercar references.

This gets my laugh for "Slow The Plot Down" alone.

I just noticed in one of the host segments Joel mentions speilberg is doing old cartoons into movies like the flintstones crow goes, yeah right what next Casper. It would have been 3 years before they made Casper so I am wondering if they knew it or another example of them predicting things

The bad guy's cat totally reneged on their suicide pact.

1:15:40 I believe he means arresting the molecules. Accelerating them would produce vapor.

51:20 Fiery explosions for the ocean floor.

Wow! an "Orca" reference! An obscure and terrible movie even by their standards.

Did anyone else get a chill when Frank said "Sandy Frank"?

Thanks Michael Bridgman- this is the first episode of MST3K I ever saw- a tape in 1993 while paying the board game Risk.

I just watched Hellcats, and then this (both for the first time). I've got to go see something, anything, with a semi-cohesive story, before I suffer any more brain damage.

Forrester's got some killer gams!

I'm always impressed when they avoid the easy, obvious jokes: You've got a character named "Atari" here...This episode COULD have been wall to wall video game jokes, but they limited themselves to one or two quips about Pong. A lesser show would have grabbed for the low hanging fruit, so to speak.

Definitely my favorite Sandy Frank episode. :)

They are killing each other over ice that doesn't melt. Seriously? Aside from whiskey sours, the value would be... what? Do the Japanese sprain their ankles THAT often?

I don't understand why all the japanese movies they rip on don't get as many views. They're the funniest by far.

I´m so glad this site came up... greetings from an Argentine fan.

Do you think it was this incomprehensible in the original japanese? Or was it the dubbing that made it so confusing? We may never know or care.

Seriously, Elel. So true. I just gave up trying to follow the plot after a while and focused only on the guys.

WHA?? I think I've suffered permanent cognitive damage from trying to decipher a plot here-- but the guys made sure the deaths of those synapses were not in vain.
