Synopsis

Revenge of the Creature

The Creature from the Black Lagoon is back! This time he's captured by scientists and transported to an aquarium in south Florida. Naturally, he's attracted to the lovely female scientist (Nelson) and manages to escape and kidnap her. [1]

Information

  • Look for a young, uncredited Clint Eastwood in his first screen appearance as the goofy white-coated lab assistant who does the silly mouse gag in the lab scene with the monkey. [2]
  • You might recognize one of the two young men who, near the end of the movie, see Helen lying unconscious on a riverbank, go to investigate, and get killed by the Gill Man. One of those guys is Bix Dugan from The Girl in Lovers Lane.

The Episode

Host Segments

Half man, Half Octopus

Prologue: Mike, Tom, and Gypsy return to the SOL. Crow is already there, but he seems different somehow. Suddenly, the SOL is about to crash into the Earth. Mike is able to avoid a collision, but horror awaits when Mike and the bots contact Earth, and a talking ape answers!!!

Segment One: After lots of screaming, Professor Bobo and Dr. Peanut explain that Earth is "a planet where apes evolved from men". Bobo then sends a bad movie to the SOL crew because, oddly enough, it's "Ape Law".

Segment Two: Tom and Mike try to repair the SOL’s engines with a little help from the Nanites. Crow still seems different somehow, and Mike can't let it go.

Segment Three: An angry Star Wars-esque alien demands to speak to Servo, who has been dealing contraband vanilla pudding.

Segment Four: Crow may be different, but at least he knows how to make a nice cup of espresso.

Segment Five: The bots have found some shocking information about the reproduction choices of Mike’s descendants. Then they learn who The Lawgiver is - Pearl Forrester!

Stinger: John Agar swims softly and carries a big bull prod.
