Iceman said:Jack Frost isn't on DVD yet is it?
That may be my favorite ever. And I rewatch Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, Space Mutiny and Time Chasers all the time.

a Master Ninja said:Any Mystery Science Theater 3000 experts want to help me remember the name of a movie I watched it like 15 years ago? It was Japanese, featured aliens abducting a woman, shaving her bald complete with a dotted line for brain removal, and the aliens wore shiny rhinestone gloves like Michael Jackson. I'd love to see it again.

Produced as a result of a bet, Manos was an independent production by a crew that had little or no background or experience in filmmaking and with a very limited budget at their disposal. Upon its theatrical debut, the film was critically slammed, and remained in obscurity until its Mystery Science Theater appearance. It has since gained infamy as one of the worst films ever made.
Under the working title The Lodge of Sins, the movie was filmed in the summer of 1966 with a 16 mm Bell & Howell camera which had to be wound by hand and only filmed for 32 seconds, which is credited as a possible explanation for the many editing problems present in the final cut. The Bell & Howell camera is incapable of double-system recording, and thus all sound effects and dialogue were dubbed later in post-production, reportedly by only three or four people including Warren.
The film was briefly distributed by Emerson Releasing Corporation, but reports that the only crew members who were compensated for their work in the film were Jackey Neman Jones and her family's dog, who received a bicycle and a large quantity of dog food respectively, would indicate that the film failed to break even financially.[2][12] Official box office figures for the film are presently unknown.
Reportedly, Quentin Tarantino owns a rare 35 mm copy of the film and has stated that this film is his favorite "comedy".
Cheesemeister said:Yeah, while I don't hang out at DAP, I downloaded all of the episodes on there and burned them onto CD-ROM back in the fall of 2002, effectively replacing my extensive VHS collection from direct-off-cable and through tape trading. (I look at writeable CD-ROM prices now and cry.) I've got very nearly all of the Rhino DVDs. Great, great stuff.
Aaron said:Escape 2000 is easily my fav of favs. I think I've watched it a dozen times. It's just packed with humor, from the hero who does nothing, his vampire woman girlfriend, to the all mighty 'toblarone' Second place would probably go to Operation Double 007.
I like Joel and Mike equally. Different styles, different humor, but both great. Also like both Crows and both Servos. Didn't like Pearl Forestor though.

tokkun said:MSTies are a really tight group. I have an MST3K t-shirt, and I must have gotten at least 30 "nice shirt" compliments from random strangers over the years. The only other t-shirt that's gotten me compliments is my Invader Zim shirt, and that has been 3 times at most.
JzeroT1437 said:Some of the cast members committed suicide shortly after its release. I like to blame the film.

Servo: "My nuts?"
Classic moment.

DrForester said:According to a documentary about Manos, there are no obituaries or any other evidence that anyone else committed suicide other than the guy who played Torgo. His suicide was before the movie ever came out, apparently he was a heavy drug user.

One of my many MST shirts.
tokkun said:That's pretty sweet. Where'd you get your shirts from?
My friend gave this to me as a gift after finding it at a t-shirt swap meet (yes, apparently those exist)
"Is this the man?" "Why, no sir, you da man."Clevinger said:My favorite is easily Space Mutiny. Sooo great.
"Ivon... with the head of a bear." "Yeah, cram it, wokhead."Jon_Danger said:I love this one because it is a purely ridiculously made russo-finnish film, with horrible voice dubbing, and weird characters. Bears that pick mushrooms wtf? The main guy character turning into a bear?
As a time travel nut I enjoyed that film on many levels.Coin Return said:Though its tough to pick a favorite, for me its a toss up between Space Mutiny and
(Time Chasers)
Both have sooo many classic lines.

Ahh, Invasion of the Neptune Men. The episode with the famous "Roji Panty Complex".Shard said:"They took out the Hitler Building! Where is everyone going to see Hitler memorabilia?"
Oh yeah, I love that book. Also the non-movie-specific followup Mind Over Matters. I think I loaned them out and didn't get them back, but I'll have to get them again some day.JzeroT1437 said:Also, has anyone else read this:
(Mike Nelson's Movie Megacheese)
