You know what would save this movie? Surf music! Man, surf music makes anything good!
Y'know, if only she had turned into a cold beer, it would've been perfect.
"He lost his body, and I almost lost my mind." Which wasn't a major loss but still, pretty annoying.
Isn't it weird how life imitates art and I'm, like, totally sleeping right now, too!
Come as you are, to my mall, to my atrium, yeah, yeah!
Appollonia (to Pat Benatar doppleganger) - "He couldn't have done all this."
Mike - "Love is a battlefield?"
Crow - "Ahhh...Oh wait wait wait...so with him being interfaced and all, it really makes sense that he...ah...yeah...no...forget it."
"Wanda Cannon"! Now that's a porno name if I've ever heard one!.....not that I've....ever heard one.
"I better call for a Medico!" - Yeah, on the voice-com flavo-link synth-aaaach!!
You know, that does look fun, Mike. If I could do that I'd basically never stop.
"...frankly I'm bored." That's why you kept saying William Hurts name!
This is how much pure cocaine you would need in order to enjoy this movie.
Did I imagine it, Mike, or did a chubby angel with gin blossoms just visit us?
It's a Raulbiks Cube, I thought he was Puerto Rican I didn't know he was Cuban!
"I thought you'd never ask, big boy!" Well I'm actually Size Doesn't Matter Boy.
“… you’re in for a bumpy ride.” Now All About Eve? Why don’t they just have the Bowery Boys come through the movie?
“Here’s looking at you, kid.” Here’s looking at U Thant. Here’s looking at ubiquitous. Here’s looking at Ulysses.
Raul, you come back and be in this bad movie, young man! But I'm signed to play archbishop Romero!

Doobie. That's the real actor in this film.

Destabilizing society to protect a perceived right to watch free movies during work hours, Fingal is living the dream of every entitled douche on YouTube.

So the "mainframe computer that more or less ran the world" is crackable with a six digit code? Is the President of the United States' password just "password" in this movie?!

Long before Bloomberg devised his soda ban, MST3K was already there with the obscenely sized Mega-Big Border Pop, redefining the way we think.

Jeremy Brett is (was) one of the best! Saw him on stage in the Edward Gorey designed Dracula over 30 years ago and still remember it and him. Great Holmes, too.
Just noticed that the chubby lady who complains about the heat apparently is the one narking Fingal out in the first scene.
Nothing like getting home, pouring myself a nice, cool glass of reconst, grabbing a box of flavo-fibes, turning on my syntho-tron-vision console, pressing a few dozen buttons and scrolling up this cinema.
Nano Tom Servo is honestly pretty cute.
Pearl looks so much like my room mate. They even do their makeup the same way, same expressions, lol!

Can anyone explain Jamilla's purpose in this movie? Is she passing information on to the chairman? Am I thinking too hard?

When Apalonia (or whatever the hell her name is) is checking her list of dopples, it says that a woman is being doppled into a lion named "Bruno", a man is being doppled into a panda named "Flossy", and Fingal is being doppled into Daisy....Can you only be doppled into an animal of the opposite sex?

"The whole world's at 6's and 7's." Does this actually mean something or is it just a load of bull hock?

Okay they are clearly holding this telethon thing in the castle which they haven't got to yet, and the first part of the next episode has them coming out of the worm hole back to normal present time. So where and when did they hold this thing? Pocket dimension? Limbo? A back room on the Tardis?
Or was this a special episode deal like some of the thanksgiving ones? Normaly they do continuity better, and I know they were riffing on the fact PBS made the movie and all, but come on they had Ortega there crying out loud. To paraphrase Tom Servo "how'd they get off the cockadoodie Einstein-Rosen Bridge?"

Brilliant actor, horrid movie.

At about the 14 minute mark, I'm strongly reminded of the starting area of Half-Life 2...
My favorite thing in this movie is Servo's impatience with all of the pseudo-science gibberish. Pointless abbreviations and sticking parts of words together to make a stupider word?! Yeah, THAT'S the future, sure! Oh wait...
The most depressing thing about this? YouTube has four links to the original movie.
"You could have got mustard all over hiis brain!"
I love it when the funniest line in the episode is NOT a rif, but actual diialogue from the movie.
It's too bad TV's Frank wasn't around when they did this movie...they could have done a skit about how his dad played the Fat Man.

I am giving this episode its 47th laugh. The same number of laughs as credits that buy a doppel as an anteater... maybe.
Man, and I thought Hobgoblins was bad!
Hey, its Maury Chaykin/Nero Wolfe! One of my favorite TV shows of all time!

Okay so. I've seen this film a few times and I think I have a handle on what's going on. There are two like SUPER big companies in this world, Novicorp and Lexicorp. Fingal works for Novicorp, and when his body goes missing after his doppling, Lexicorp gets a hold of that information and releases it. Novicorp's stock nosedives really hard, so the Fat Man is forced to put resources into getting Fingal back/make sure he doesn't hack their Novicorp-y main frame stuff. That's about as far as I got before I just started screaming.

I have to give this episodes points for some of the best riffs ever, unfortunately the movie was SO bad it actually kind of overwhelmed them and it really drags the episode down on my list.
Hands down, one of the best !

Before The Matrix, there was Fingal's bungled doppel.

The baboon sequence is actually re-used footage from a nature documentary film about Africa called "Animals Are Beautiful People", which I watched almost religiously as a kid. Can't believe they showed up again! hah. The guy who made that movie would go on to direct "The Gods Must Be Crazy."
Raul Julia, rabid anti-anteater rhetoric, and a violent mail-order baboon named Henry Kissinger... yup, this one"s looking to crack my top five.

The reason this movie doesn't make much sense is because it's unfinished. They ran out of money before they could shoot several scenes and just released it as is.
