Okay ,there's ten people watching this episode right now. You've drawn me in. I don't think it deserves to be #1, but it is a very easy viewing experience.

Mike Downe, C.P.A., aka Kip Dynamite.

I hit the laugh button and it went down by three?!?!

As a potential meter reader, I am rather offended by the opening riffs of the movie....;)

This movie makes me miss growing up in the 80's. so many horrible but riffible movies appearing every night on cable, like magic mushrooms after a rain storm. But don't eat the hobgoblin flavored one or bungles the dumpster clown will eat your soul.

Okay this is a dumb point to think on, but okay so they have Macpherson, who "knows all their countermeasures"...so why were they "torturing" Leah for the countermeasures when they already knew them?

00:53:00 - The poor man's Lando Calrissian

00:41:25 - Mike's experience here should have a familiar ring to other people who've actually tried to get any reading done on the bus. Or maybe it's just me. :/

...that is NOT a vehicle you can dramatical throw yourself out of at high speed...

Heeheehee. I thought the combo gocart/floorbuffer death chase was a grand climax!

See, this is why there were no guardrails on the Deathstar. They all accidentally got shipped here.

One of the things i love about MST3k are the little details they sometimes put in their skits and such. This episode has one of my favorite dumb little jokes: they take the brain guy "scanning" sound effect and slow it way down while he's being dumb. Such a tiny thing, but it's great.

Just noticed that the bad guy leading the mutiny has a bum leg and it just so happens this movie ripped scenes out of the old BattleStar Galactica. Well the new BSG has a mutineer that had a bum leg, Felix Gaeta. Coincidence? Ha ha.

Oh man, this movie has the greatest climax ever. The cart chase just keeps getting more and more ridiculous.

I think I get it. This movie tries so hard and has such good intentions, you can't fault it for failing. It's like an adorable child who didn't choose to be conceived by first cousins.

How did this guy not get sued by Lorne Greene? Then beaten by his own severed arms by Lorne Greene?

Anyone else catch this? The Galactica*AHEM*....I-I mean the Southern Sun... was flying backwards when we first saw it?

"So in the future there's absolutely no shame."

Let me just check my TV listings... Nope, you called it, Crow, none whatsoever.

Ok, it was brutal, yet still not as many plot holes and lazy writing as Oceans Thirteen.

You know the ironic thing about this movie is, that in real life Chunk head and Shari Lewis there actually ended up getting married. Go figure.

The doctor in the deep freeze lab is drinkin vitamin water xxx

Another Rick Astley reference!

I do love the Ed Grimley references!

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! Those ARE the Battlestar Galactica ships! What a bunch of thieving punks!!!!

This movie went through 3 editors? Where all the editors blind and deaf? How can a movie go through 3 editors and be this bad?

1. Doesn't Deaver (Mr. Bleach Blond) look like Spike from the Buffy series? And 2. If they've lived on this ship for 13 generations, why don't they all have the same ACCENT!?

Okay, if nobody else is going to make fun of the bad guy's name I guess it's up to me. Here goes. "Ancient Chinese secret eh?"

Anyone else think there's something awkward about Mike's delivery of "Let's see what this lark can do." ?

Sadly, Space Mutiny is probably the best movie Action International Pictures ever put out.

Lemme see if I can wrap my head around this: This entire civilization has lived aboard the Southern Sun for thousands of years. This means their whole population couldn't be more than a few thousand people at most--perhaps ten thousand at the outside. In other words: About as many people as a small town. Furthermore, it's totally self-contained. There are no new citizens joining this civilization, or current citizens leaving it. You would think that by now, everyone would know everyone, and secrets would be all but impossible to keep. That's how it is in many real life small towns--even without this kind of utter isolation.
SO....How the HELL did the enforcers--essentially the police force of this society --turn evil, corrupt, and mutinous AND NO ONE NOTICED??? In a community so small and insular, you shouldn't be able to take a crap without everyone knowing what color it is! But SOMEHOW, this society's most trusted and potentially dangerous members were able to stage a goddamn COUP with almost total impunity

Hey! His glasses get put back on after his death! 32:07-32:14

This is probably my favorite movie about Santa Claus.

It's been awhile since I've seen this episode; Just the dialog of the movie itself made me laugh till I had tears; the riffs are just icing on this cowcake of a movie!

"Okay, guys, it's gut check time: how do we establish our hero?"

"I know! Let's introduce him to the audience by having him leave someone to his fiery death in order to save his own skin, calmly explain how this was the right thing to do, and then shout at a woman to that effect!"

poor Mike. Can't even seduce his own wife...

Was this movie written by committee?

And did ANY of the members of this committee communicate with each other regarding what they were writing?

It's like a cinematic game of "telephone": As though the script was passed from writer to writer, each who wrote a scene based on their own vague interpretation of the preceding scene, with no regard for the story as a whole.

LOL i LOVE crows eyes when he is wearing his glasses. LOL!

I just noticed - so Cal-Gone! kidnaps the commander's mother to get counter measures, right? But he's best buds with McFearson or whatever who, according to the commander, "knows all our counter measures." SO WHAT WAS THE POINT OF KIDNAPPING THE GIRL?! Jeez movie.

Wasn't he also in Howling II or was that a different Nazi ideal?

Calgon: "Jansen, I have something to show you..."
*pulls Lea up*
Crow: "I've got your mother!"

The escape pod dogfight is probably my favorite host segment. "I Love you Crow!"

The music reminds me of Mike's theme song, sung by Crow on the Volent Years episode...Mike Muh Muh Muh Mike Muh Muh Muh Mike Mike Mike.

Hey! 100 laughs for Space Mutiny! To commemorate the occasion, I invite everyone to make up their own original name for David Ryder (Blast Hardcheese)

Hey the muscle guy in this is Reb Brown. known for playing Captain America in that cheesy 80's version.

Amazingly Idiotic Productions!

The actor who played Calgon also played Diabolik! I only just found out, after years of watching MST3k, when I recognized him in Barbarella & had to IMDb him.

When Calgon shot Lt. Lamont, and she was in the next scene alive, I only had one thought...Don't Time Lords/Time Ladies change their faces when they regenerate?

This is the first episode of MST3K I ever saw, back when I was a wee lass and the show aired early Saturday mornings on Sci-Fi.

Funny that, in the closing skit, Mike has to seduce his future wife.

'wall mounted keyboards, it must be....THE FUTURE!'
loving this episode :)

Usually you know your movie is bad if your leading muscle head is played by Dolph Lundgren or Brian Bosworth. What does it say if your movie is too crappy for them?

My personal favourite episode. And I have no idea why. But whenever I think about it, it gives me a chuckle.

I don't understand why this episode has so many laughs. The movie sucks, but not nearly as bad the real stinkburgers the show has covered. The skits are lackluster, and the riffs, well, the various hero names are funny, but there's nothing truly inspired.
But apparently this episode stands out for some reason.

Reb Brown (the slab of butt steak this film calls its star) played Captain America in a couple of made-for-TV movies back in the 70s.

The bad guys are wearing paint ball masks

why are there brick walls in space?

how does a laser probe?

This cast wins the award for "worst hair in a motion picture".

Did Universal have a garage sale and sell everything from the original BSG to these guys?

Is it me, or does the McPherson guy look like a weird version of David Bowie?

I've just seen this episode for the first time, and this is the first movie MST3K's ever presented where I was laughing out loud at it even when Nelson and the Bots weren't riffing. The ridiculous costumes, the obvious rip-offs of "Star Wars", "Battlestar Galactica" and the later "Star Trek" movies, the cheesy synth music track -- and those opening credits... ohhhhhh, those opening credits.

Seriously, man... is it just me, or did the quality of movie credit design actually seem to get briefly WORSE with each advance in cinema/video technology -- especially the late '70s/early '80s?

..are those not the fighters from battle star galactica 0.0

Lt. Lamont is a very underrated hero. Not only does she have an incredible package but she can also re-spawn instantly.

This episode gets props at TVTropes.org: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RailingKill

Say what you like about Space Mutiny... And really, by all means say what you like... But it at least has something resembling a plot. Compare this to say... Starfighters. It gives Mike and the Bots an extra layer of something to chew on. And this is flat out a far better episode than Starfighters. It even has discernible characters too, rather than cardboard cut-outs. The characters in Starfighters aren't even cyphers. They're just two-ply. Less fuel to the fire.

Love all the names for the "Hero" in this ep!!

I saw this episode for the first time a week ago, and I still haven't been able to get Blast Hardcheese's big scream out of my head. Seriously, I break down randomly all through the day just thinking about it.

they invented Wikipedia?

Gotta love how the space scenes are stolen from the old Battlestar Galactica series from the late 70's.

You know a movie is bad when Mike and the Bots keep chuckling over and over *without* making jokes.

Benedictine monks in the floor boards.

This little tea cup scene at 22:15 is so Oliver Hardy!

Man, I gotta get me one of those golf carts...

For some reason... I laugh out loud just Thinking about this episode.
