The Movie

Synopsis

The Castle of Fu Manchu with dominatrices instead of fezes and Frankie Avalon instead of Christopher Lee.

No, I'm not kidding.

The plot? Sumuru discovers that she can't control men using sex, so, obviously, it's science fiction. Also lots of beautiful and under-dressed women die at the end of the film, which is really creepy because it doesn't happen all that often.

Information

The Episode

Host Segments

Prologue: Joel, who was trapped outside in episode K17 - Time of the Apes, gets back inside the ship with some help from the Mads. Joel is a little upset, and the Bots apologize, sort of.

Segment One: Joel disciplines the Bots for locking him out of the SOL. Servo and Crow retaliate by locking up Gypsy.

Segment Two: Joel & the Bots host a game show, though their fact-checking skills appear to be weak. ("Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?" "The Blue Ridge Mountains!")

Segment Three: MST3K Unplugged! Joel & the Bots perform an acoustic version of the show's theme song.

Segment Four: Servo's mouth is broken, so Joel moves it for him when he needs to talk. The fan club address is read, and Joel announces that nearly 900 people have signed up so far.[1]

Obscure References

  • "No tickie, no shirtie." Repeated multiple times (and also used in the MST3K movie). This is a reference to Chinese dry cleaners who would refuse to give you back your laundry if you didn't bring the ticket they gave you when you brought your laundry in.

Notes

  • Servo only watches the first half of the movie, opting instead to "bake brownies for the Pinewood Derby."
  • Apart from the opening credits, this is the last time we see Gypsy in the KTMA era.
  • The only case where the movie riffs itself. When Frankie inquires if he is supposed to sing, Joel chastises him, pointing out that riffing the movie is the job of the SOL crew.
