Ben Murphy -- a poor man's Doug McClure.

This is the first time I've watched this episode, and I'm weirded out to discover that I've seen this movie before, in its nonMST3k form. Where the hell would I have seen this?

Is it just me, or does it feel like the filmmakers couldn't decide whether to make the Mummy's identity as an alien a twist ending or not?

I can't recall seeing a worse ending than the one in this film. The professor takes a bullet for the alien... the alien then takes the professor with him into whatever dimension he returns to... and weenie Bruce grabs the crystal that was left behind, which produces painful burning on his hand, causing him to turn to the camera and scream. Jeez... writing it down actually made it seem worse.

"...You'll be off to jail, and I'll have what I deserve!" What exactly did Bruce think he deserved? Did he want to teach McCadden's class???

**MST3K FAN EXCLUSIVE** 30 Year Anniversary NEW Fan Based Show Opening. This is a version NEVER seen on TV. I encourage you to watch it to the very end. 2:34, the real hardcore MSTIES should appreciate it. Do hope everyone will. What episode is the final clip from? ENJOY....

that dookicky he keep sticking those crystals into looks like the end of 'the crystal maze' gameshow, maybe this is where the idea came from. in fact i can just imagine richard o'brien being in that mummy suit. heres a clip of what the heck im on about with the crystals https://youtu.be/JmOeu08ex1k?t=173

I love how scared the bots get every time the screen shows the mummy's point of view. It's so cute that noise they make when they're frightened.

I love those classic TV commercials at the very end of this video. Wow...Spike Lee. Just as irrelevant today as he was 25 years ago! XD

RIP Dr. Wendell J. Rossmore, played by James Karen who was also in Poltergeist and Return Of The Living Dead

At 19:33, Crow responds to Servo's reference to Trumpy (Pod People) by singing a snippet from the "We're Knights of the Round Table" song from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Whoops.

I loved this movie, I thought it was one of the most original stories I have seen made into a movie in a while, this is one I would like to see be re-made with a larger budget.

This is one of, if not the worst movie ever viewed on the SOL. It was entirely lit by two flashlights, someone obviously used a blender to edit it, but the tall blonde graduate student, Suzy, could barely open a door, had real trouble operating an elevator, and completely failed at the complex task of removing a bangle bracelet. Sheesh! Also, closing credits....Assistant Director:
Skip Schoolnik ??? Come on !!!!

I love how they riff on all the quick cuts to various statues during the scene with the coffin in the lab. It's so funny just because of how random each of the things they say are.

So is this an alternate timeline where Sam Casey got a PhD in archaeology at Harvard under Operation Admit the Dumb?

So...Cybil is on Sunday on CBS?

(1) Ben Murphy doesn't seem to not notice or care that the "hidden compartment" is half open (2) The Mummy picks the electrical transformer in that building instead of somewhere else.(3) The Vice is in "Rattlers" (4) The
Iron maiden poster above the conference phone (5) Orvile Reddenbocker as CHaiman

"Being from Another Planet"? Hmnnn....stuck for a title? Just re-name 'Thing from Another World", I guess. lol.

I just noticed for the first time, when they were X-Raying the mummy, they were all just standing around it with no protection. They all got Ten times the normal does.

Does it make me a bad person that I want to own the entire Tragic Moments collection? Now THOSE would be conversation pieces....

I heard "squirrel" too.

Has anyone ever compiled a list of the "twas beauty killed the beast" variations the guys made over the years? There must be 50 of them.

Man, If we could see it, I bet it would be real scary.

"Well Joel, as the brilliant essayist and secret bigot H.L. Menken once said..."

there were people involved in this movie named "Grdnic", "January" and "Tom Sawyer" and no jokes?!

The mummy has ebola!

The bracelet that Frat Boy #3 gives Teacher Crazy Student Girl at around 51:30 is the ugliest, most ostentatious piece of jewelry I've ever seen.

This movie is nowhere near as painful to watch as Castle of Fu Manchu...seriously i hope the guys were joking when they threw that bit in there ;)

I love the TVFSN skit at the end. The "now I spend all my time kissing" is a great hook, and it gets me every single time. I'm like Betelgeuse watching the Exorcist.

Is it just me or are Servo's flesh coloured hands super creepy lol.

I have to agree with Crow that it wasn't that bad of a movie. I mean this production was kind of lame, but with some touches here and there, a bigger budget, and some better acting, this would make a great remake. Also, I totally remember that Ridge Racer commercial. I do miss the 90's.

Sam Chew Jr., the guy at the end who burns his hand, is the lead in the Cinematic Titanic Live movie "Rattlers". He plays a college professor herpetologist.

STARRING Ben Murphy?

Two scoops of raisins my ass!

"It's Bill Mumy, and I happen to be a fan..." Well, sure, Joel. That's why you're named Robinson.

As it happens, just a couple of years after this episode aired, Bill got cast in a prominent supporting role on Babylon 5 as Lennir.

I had forgotten the name of it, but I remember seeing this movie at the theater when I was a kid. This is a much better version.

Just finished watching this episode... Let me see if I got this right: so an alien crashes on Earth 2000 years ago and unintentionally murders King Tut, then awakens in the 80's and spends the whole movie collecting batteries for his transporter thing. Then, at the end of the film, he just leaves. Awesome, next they'll make a movie about an alien waiting for an intergalactic bus that's late.

I don't get it, was Ben Murphy "The Being From Another Planet" lol . Ben Murphy was also in "Riding With Death' and that was a CBS Night Of The Movie"

Because Joel keeps turning his head to look at Tom, you can very clearly see he's wearing his glasses during the end credits of the movie. And if you listen carefully in the middle of that bit you can hear him flip the page on his script.

Why is Crow so afraid of boiler rooms?

Okay, so the bigwigs in the college want to keep a lid on the missing mummy story (er, so to speak). They don't want word getting out that they lost such an incredibly valuable artifact. So that's why they're not going to the police. Which would make a certain amount of sense... except that they just opened the empty sarcophagus in front of a room full of reporters. Pretty sure the cat's already out of the bag, guys. Besides, aren't you going to have to deal with things like insurance claims on the priceless rare ancient artifact?

One of the few ep.s I've never seen before...this is the ~only~ time I've ever seen a FilmVenturesInternational movie (see Pod People, Stranded in Space, Cave Dwellers) where the title seq. DID pertain to the movie at hand. Amazing how they did that.....

Check out the Tom Selleck AT&T commercial at 1:32:00. It only took 20 years to get these things!

Tragic Moments, that is soooooo funny!!! This has got to be on my top five invention exchanges. I love it. Plus Joel and the bots come back with the Jack Palance voice imitator, another hit outta the park.

So, is the fact that the mummy is actually an alien supposed to be some kind of *twist?*

I remember when this episode aired, we thought it was funny how this mummy moved around. Now when I'm navigating a big office building or walking through the mall I can see how convenient this mobility would be. When wishing for superpowers its easy to shoot for the stars with your flying and superhuman strength. I wish for the ability to hover sanding upright and glide around at the speed of a brisk walk.

Hey, Billy Mummy was in Papillon and that was a damned good movie. …and I liked the Phantom Tollbooth.

Tragic Moments figurines. LOVE it when the mads get dark!

Good episode for the Halloweeny times.

No, it looks like a spermatozoa's vacation pictures.

The archeologists examining the space mummy seem pretty amateurish, in my humble opinion.

This movie was a forerunner to History Channel 2's "Ancient Aliens".

Clayton STONEWALL Forester ?!?!

crow needs his mummy asap.. bring him his blankie

has ur mummy tucked u in tonight

A guy off in the shadowy distance waving a flashlight around, and NO "NBC MYSTERY MOVIE" RIFF!?! My world no longer makes sense!!!

If your methods of research are crummy,
You could unleash an alien mummy.
He will chase down the fools
Who stole his magic jewels,
And their flesh will turn greenish and gummy.

I'll never understand during the credits why Tom is insisting this is the worst stinker they had to sit thru, so far. Any movie "starring" Ben Murphy is a huge win!

28:42 - Servo asks "Where's Geraldo?" Oh Lord I fell over laughing. If you are old enough to remember April 19, 1986, Geraldo Rivera's 2 hour special to open Al Capone's vault... and there was nothing in it! Thank you Kevin!

So after decades of tourist traffic they inexplicably find another mummy in Tut's tomb. Why does a third-rate (at best) California college get to unwrap it AND have it as a permanent installation? Shenanigans I say!

Sam Chew Jr. (as the scenery-chewing administrator featured in the stinger) is also the lead in "Rattlers" as performed by Cinematic Titanic.

So the old, veteran cop obeys the command to shoot by some jackass in a really bad suit? This movie..... ugh.

WESCOM...that was the unit I was assigned to Western Command in Hawaii...didn't know they were making cheeszie movies now.

TV's Frank's Shopping Network REALLY took me back 2 when shop-by-tv channels first came out. Where I lived during the summers, we only had antenna TV at the beach LOL and ALL we got was the newly established I guess it was Home Shopping Network? That and some old fisherman named Scrochy who gave us the next day's fishing report real late at nite... God I miss the simple times at the beach. Thank u MST, thank u 4 inspiring as well as MAKING the good memories!!!

The alien was misunderstood! Sure he brought "terror" and hurt/ mudered several innocents for his own selfish goal. Hidden behind those monstrous rags was a sweet...blue...bug-eyed...thing--KILL IT!

Cybill's on Sunday on CBS!!

If only Servo knew the horror to come.

“No, this is a very sick individual.” … who punched a hole through the bottom of an elevator.

Just take the hand!

Dr. F.: "And I hope you haven't made plans for dinner, My Little Corn Muffin." :D

While I concur with Tom that this film is awful, I don't think it's quite as bad as Castle of Fu Manchu.

Who the hell leaves a 3000 year old mummy alone with a college student?

Ben Murphy here.

Tom Servo nailed the Jack Palance impersonation to a tee! Loved it! And love Jack Palance. RIP, sir.

I miss old school Comedy Central their current lineup of shows sucks except the Daily Show and the Cobert Report.

First thought: "Oh No! It's Ben Murphy!"

Don't x-ray fungus and the enunciating guy at the end. Oh man this movie, whew!

I love that at the end Servo looses it and they actually list off almost every movie they've watched. I won't give away the punch line but there's only one movie the Servo feels is as bad as this one... and he is mostly right. I feel Robot Holocaust is worse.... but I'm no Servo, and I am sure I didn't suffer as badly.

I wonder if they tried to pitch this movie as “Indiana Jones meets Animal House?” Swing and a miss on that but still it was about on par with Temple of Doom and Delta House…

I like how the movie acts like the whole "The mummy is an alien" thing is a twist when IT'S IN THE FREAKING TITLE.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the old school commercials and Comedy Central that we occasionally get at the end of these archives. I had forgotten how bad Apple's advertising was in the pre-Steve Jobs round 2 era.

This is one of the episodes where it's hard to keep track of who makes more puns: the riffers or the characters!

Don't worry Suzie, there's not enough money in the budget to have you killed!

'Whaddya lookin at?!?' -Tom Servo [1:10:10]

Bonus Jim Breuer at the end.
Maybe "bonus" is the wrong word.

Well, the original title of the movie is "Time Walker", maybe you're thinking about that.
