I've been thinking it would be nice to see the Brains do another old
serial along the lines of THE PHANTOM CREEPS or UNDERSEA KINGDOM. So I
nominate:
THE WHISPERING SHADOW - (1933) A 12 part Mascot serial
starring Bela Lugosi. The Shadow kills by *radio death
ray*, speaks to his gang by *television*, and uses a
*gyrocopter* to further his evil ends!
And as a main feature I've always longed to see Toby Hooper's
LIFEFORCE bite the bullet.
Here's a short list of other worthy candidates:
THE YESTERDAY MACHINE (This one makes Coleman Francis look like
Orson Welles. The plot has something to
do with Hitler hiding out in some back-
woods hick town with a secret Nazi Time
Machine. I am *not* making this up. Of
course this description makes it sound
*alot* more interesting than it really is.)
ATTACK OF THE MOLE PEOPLE (A scene from this movie was ripped
off and used in WILD WORLD OF BATWOMAN.)
TARANTULA!
4-D MAN
THE PHANTOM PLANET
THE DAY THE WORLD ENDED (Roger Corman at his best!)
Actually, these last two are guilty pleasures of mine, and I own
store bought copies of both. Go figure.

I have a movie I've been wanting to see MiSTied for years...
_Shakma_, starring Christopher Atkins (of Blue Lagoon fame) and Amanda Wyss
(star of How I Got Into College). Released in 1990. It has
_everything_... a silly premise (monkey goes insane and kills med students
who've locked themselves in the building to play a live-action D&D-type game),
mediocre actors, bad acting, silly scenes, bad dialogue, and bad editing. :)
I love it.
Very few people have seen it... it was filmed in Central Florida (where
I grew up), had its premiere at the Interstate Mall, and sank out of
sight in two weeks.
What's the Brains' policy on violence, though? Do they edit especially
gory scenes, or just not use those movies? This has a couple bloody
yucky scenes, and I hate to think that they'd reject it entirely just
because of that. :( They aren't central to the plot (what plot there is)...
Anyway, that's my vote. :)

one of those generic, 80's horror movies that involved a car (it's like
Christine except it's not very good (or it's even worse depending on your
point of view)). Anyway, it was bad, but not horrible until you get to
the ending. The movie is basically this guy in a car who keeps stalking
this woman all over the place. At the end, the car rolls off a cliff
(for the second time) and explodes. Never is it revealed who was behind
the wheel or why anyone would want to terrorize this woman. After going
through that movie I was sure that if I had been Servo my head would have
exploded for sure, the ending is that bad. I'd love to see the boys axe
that one.

Oh, that would work! Neato! I've been wondering about that anyway... is

Okay, here's some suggestions from someone who spent WAY too many late nights
watching crappy films on UHF and basic cable...
RODAN -- Actually a fairly decent Japanese monster flick, considered by
soem to be a classic. But then again, they just HAD to make a sequel...
RODAN VS. GODZILLA -- I haven't seen this, but it is supposedly rather
awful.
BATTLE BENEATH THE EARTH -- A red Chinese plot to tunnel under the pacific
so they could plant nukes under US cities...wonder if the OKC bomb...?
BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS -- Richard Thomas and Robert Duvall help a quiet
planet defend itself against a monstrous space pirate's evil battlecruiser.
Cheesy effects, bad acting, but a catchy theme tune...
SPACE RAIDERS -- I must admit I have this on tape. It uses the exact same
EFX footage from "Battle Beyond the Stars" to support an entirely different
plot. Stars Patsy Pease, "Kim" on Days of Our Lives, and even features an
annoying teenage boy that sort of puts me in mind of an American "Kenny"...
LAND THAT TIME FORGOT -- A Samuel Z. Arkoff classic! A WWI U-boat is
hijacked by survivors from a torpedoed cruise ship and mis-navigated to a
"continent" off Antarctica, complete with Dinosaurs and cavemen. Based on a
book by Edgar Rice Burroughs, I think...
PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT -- The even worse sequel. A rescue mission tries
to fly in, but gets captured by cannibals...I have boitth of these on tape as
well.
FLASH GORDON -- Either do one of the endless serials, or get the Dino De
Laurentis production (Starring Melody Anderson, Max Von Sydow, Topol, Brain
Blessed, and Timothy Dalton). Both are just as cheesy as the original Comic
Books.
Then there's always the original TV Movies that launched "Battlestar
Galactica", "Buck Rogers", etc.
Just my two altarian dollars a day...

I flipped through a movie guide and noted the most interesting sounding
ones, along with my memories of seeing some of these total turkeys...
THE BAD SEED. In _The Exorcist_, the bad little girl had an excuse--she
was possessed. This one is just rotten to the core. Also has lots of
psychological gibberish that Dr. Scratchansniff wouldn't fall for.
CHANGE OF HABIT. Mary Tyler Moore as a nun. Elvis Presley. 'Nough said.
THE CONQUEROR. John Wayne as Genghis Khan. *John Wayne* as Genghis
Khan. John Wayne as *Genghis Khan*. John *Wayne* as Genghis Khan. Ack.
DEMON SEED. The ultimate `evil-computer-dehumanizes-the-humans-about-it'
movie.
FASTER, PUSSYCAT, KILL, KILL. A group of feminists plot to kill a group
of chauvinists. Or something.
THE LOVES OF HERCULES. Stars Mickey Hargitay as Herc, and his wife Jayne
Mansfield, and his wife Jayne Mansfield. Said to be the greatest Italian
Hercules movie of them all.
And now, CC presents the `really bad horror movies starring has-beens
from Star Trek' marathon (well, maybe not):
NIGHT OF THE LEPUS. Dr. McCoy battles giant bunnies. No, really.
KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS. Captain Kirk battles tarantulas.
THE THING WITH TWO HEADS. A racist mad scientist has his head
transplanted to (of course) a black man's body.
Folks, we need more Larry Buchanan! (The guy who brought us _(Attack of
the) The Eye Creatures_)
MARS NEEDS WOMEN. Urgh. The less said, the better.
ZONTAR, THE THING FROM VENUS. Remake of _It Conquered the World_.
'Nough said.
Whew. I'm outta here. This should be enough to keep BB going for a
long, long time... :)

yesterday, but even that can't keep me off for long! And I have another movie
suggestion;
- The Bermuda Depths. Just saw it on a local TV station at midnight last
night. The plot, to the extent that it matters, concerns both a quasi-mermaid
(who loves our hero) and a giant sea-turtle which is somehow related to the
quasi-mermaid (who kills everyone who knows our hero). Sort of Jaws meets The
Blue Lagoon.
Features Burl Ives (as the scientist investigating the Bermuda Triangle),
Carl "Action Jackson" Weathers (as the black guy who eventually gets killed, as
usual), Connie Selleca (as the quasi-mermaid), and stars some blond guy whose
extremely bored expression and odd speech pattern suggests heavy medication.
The special effects; a toy boat and some old Gamera-ish Japanese footage of the
giant turtle. It fails in every possible respect.
Looking over this thread, I have to wonder how many movies we've suggested for
Season 7... it looks like enough for two seasons already. No one can say the
Brains lack for material.

...which jogged something vaguely related loose...
Has anyone seen a movie (don't know if it was made for TV or not)
dating from 1972, listed as a documentary, about the Bermuda Triangle? It
starts with Christopher Columbus seeing UFOs on his first trip and goes
downhill from there. It covers eerie happenings such as people's watches
being seven minutes off and one smallish island looking like another smal-
lish island. There's a middle-aged narrator stuck in an office with a map
and some model planes to play with. Anyone remember the title?

I'd still like to see _The Phantom Empire_, aka _Radio Ranch_,
get roasted. I don't know if you can get it on video, but it's one of
about three serials that you will see if you wander into the film room
of any sf convention at 7am.
The premise is that a cowboy/radio personality has just bought
a new ranch to broadcast from, and it just so happens that nearby is the
secret entrance to a high-tech underground city. The city, Murania, is
supposedly well-populated, but all we ever see are its queen, her evil
priest/henchman, and a lot of robots. On the good guys' side, we have
the radio guy, his chief ranch hand, two kids, and a lot of horses. Half
the time, it looks like _Last of the Wild Horses_; the other half, it
looks like _The Undersea Kingdom_. I'd bet that the robot costumes from
this and _The Undersea Kingdom_ are the same ones.

This movie has one fine moment when Lee Majors is being advised belowdecks by a wizard who, for some reason, has a bird (crow? been a while) perched on his shoulder, Long John Silver fashion. Lee Majors--the Norseman, of course--spurns the wizard's advice with: "Tend your bird, wizard."
It's worthy. It needs to be MiSTed.

Okay, I knew it was one of those white-haired-before-his-time
guys. At any rate, he makes a completely unconvincing villain, and Ted
Danson makes a completely unappealing hero.
Now, of all the bad movies there are, the one I would most love
to see MSTed, and the one least likely to be MSTed because it's long e-
nough for two whole experiments, is _Journey to the Center of the Earth_.
Don't make the mistake of thinking this has anything more than a vague
resemblance to the Jules Verne book on which it claims to be based. The
only character who even keeps his name is Hans, and I'm pretty sure his
girlfriend the duck wasn't in the Verne version.

I remember reading that they had a hard time with one of the films--I
think it was "Sidehackers"--because there's a somewhat violent barroom
fight. When I first saw it, I realized it just *felt* weird to watch it
on MST.
They were very much aware, though, of the content. Don't know if they can
just cut out a scene--somehow, I doubt if the release from the movie
company would give them that option.

MY GOD! I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE!!!!!!
I LOVED IT AS A CHILD! WHICH MEANS IT WOULD BE PERFECT!
Other TV movies of that time period:
"The Last Dinosaur": Starring Richard "Heck Ramsey" Boone as a 'Great
White Hunter' who spends a million dollars on an atomic powered mole
vehical that can bore through the earth to a hidden plateu in the
Antarctic so he can hunt down a Tyrannasaurus.
<mumbled title that has 'Bermuda Triangle' in it>: Some weird fever
dream that has a boatload of actors (lead by Ray Milland) stumbling
across an Egyptian sarcophagus on the ocean floor of the Triangle.
All I remember is that the plot revolved around the Egyptians having
contact with the Mayans, and that somehow this resulted in the Mayans
being wiped out by the Antichrist. About the only good thing in the
movie is Lee Meriwhether dancing around the Sarcophagus clawing at her
nightgown and chanting when she's posessed by the evilforce.

I know that several scenes were cut from _Space Travelers_.
However, I don't know if BB cut the scenes or if Film Ventures,
International did when they acquired and retitled _Marooned_.
And I'm pretty sure most of the gore was cut out of _Zombie
Nightmare_...
And whatever happened to John Saxon's character in _Mitchell_?

Actually, no, they weren't. I believe "TPE" was made in '34, and
"TUK" made in '36, so actually "TUK" may have bee inspired by "TPE"
(Which was, for it's time, fairly well known thanks to star Gene
Autry).
The robots suits from 'The Phantom Empire" were, if anything, EVEN
CHEESIER than the ones from "The Undersea Kingdom", since they were
obviously made from thin aluminum rivited together. Heck, they didn't
even bother to disguise the eye & breathing holes for the actors
wearing them!
The robot suits from "TUK", though, had a tendancy to turn up many
times in later Republic serials, such as 'Dr. Satan', and 'Superman
vs. Atom Man'.
I agree, though, that "TPE" would be excellent MST fodder, since it's
just watchable enough to be a torture but bad enough to MiST
effectively.

They made a sequel to that, you know. (_Robot Masters_ or some such.)
I saw it in my local video store's "Science Fiction" section (they must

"Infra Man" (opposite of Ultra Man, get it?) and a Walter Koenig movie
called "Moontrap".
The entire SF video section looked MSTable to me.

The serial was 'ZOMBIES OF THE STRATOSPHERE', which was not actually
a Commando Cody (though it was originally supposed to be one, but for
some reason known only to Republic Pictures, they used all the props
& costumes from the original Cody, but the lead charecter was changed
to 'Larry Martin of the Planetary Patrol').
The serial was recut in the late 50's and re-released as 'SATAN'S
SATELLITES'.

I know for a fact that at least one scene was cut from _Hercules_. It showed
Hercules relinquishng his immortality and being overjoyed and getting rained
on outside of the Oracle's temple. There was nothing unbroadcastable or
objectionable about this scene, it was probably just cut to get the whole
episode to fit in 2 hours.

All the scenes involving the full-monster-sized Minya or Ninya (or however the
Japanese pronounce "Godzookie"), including the Godzilla-steps-on-Minya's-
tail-to-make-him-breathe-real-fire scene, are lifted from an earlier
Godzilla movie called _Son of Godzilla_. All the filmmakers did for
_Godzilla's Revenge_ was film some new scenes of Minya being super-small
(human sized) so that he could talk with the kid character. (Somehow,
Minya loses the ability to speak when he enlarges to full monster size.)

Yes. It was called -- get ready for a shocker here -- _The Bermuda Triangle_.
It was put out by Shick Sun Classic Pictures, the same people who brought
you such immortal works as _Beyond and Back_ (a movie about near-death
experiences, which had the same narrator as _The Bermuda Triangle_). Both
_Bermuda Triangle_ and _Beyond & Back_ were strangled by the same type of
pseudoscience one normally associates with alien abduction "investigation"
shows, which normally goes along the lines of "One scientist we talked to
couldn't explain these phenomena, and another was obviously covering up
The Truth, so therefore it HAD to be aliens/God/invisible goats!".

germain, in a way, to the thread subject, so here goes...
I caught a movie late last night (1am central) on TMC that, while it will
NEVER make it on MST3k (due to nudity & language) just BEGS for the MST
treatment.
It was called Eleven Days and Eleven Nights. It was about, as far as I
can tell, a woman who either gets out of jail or get's divorced, then,
for no apparent reason, is named executrix of some rich old man's will.
She is assigned to spend elevin days & nights in the old man's home with
his kids, determining who is to receive his fortune.
The acting is HORRIBLE! I was laughing at it without the aid of MSTing.
These poor people were trying SO HARD to act, but they JUST COULDN'T DO
IT! My favorite part was in one bathroom scene when one of the extras
(yes, extras in a bathroom scene) had an abviously barely-suppressed case
of the giggles as she exited the scene.
The worst part was that it was filmed in and around my home town, New
Orleans. The scene in "Big Daddy's" wasn't very flattering. (Though,
admittedly the club dancers did do a better job than the star. =)~ )
I guess you had to see it. It may be on again later. I figure it
couldn't have cost TMC much for the rights to air it.

Infra Man is *not* dreck. Infra Man is *hysterical*. Not *bad*,
*hysterical*. The movie almost MSTs itself.

Oh, okay. I had to get in on this one because I've been away a while.
Back around 1985, I went to the theatre and saw a movie that was so
bad that I hid my face as I was walking out of the showing, hoping
no one saw me. That movie was called RAPPIN', and was obviously a
two-week-filming-for-around-$2000 ripoff of KRUSH GROOVE. It was really
really really really awful.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC a few weeks ago when it was on TV. If you have
a friend who is a MST-ing beginner, rent this movie. It offers plenty
of opportunities for good lines (it features a small horde of
children wearing drapes, for example) but is interesting enough
that the budding Dorthy Parker will not be bored.

As much as I hate "Sound of Music," I don't think it would be a likely
candidate for MST, seeing as how it won Best Picture in 1965. I would
like to think our taste in movies has gotten better since then, but
"Forrest Gump" just won a couple weeks ago.
(Not that Forrest Gump isn't a good film... it's just that Pulp Fiction
beats the living hell out of it. And just think, 20 years from now,
we'll look back at Forrest Gump and wonder if it's a candidate for MST.)

"bestill" would be transitive.

except they threw in a Tut mask imbued with the powers of Satan.
Needless to say, at the end, the evil Tut Mask from Hell wasn't
destroyed, it just sank back down to the bottom of the ocean for
the next unsuspecting treasure-hunting-ship that passed by. Why,
they could have made it an ongoing TV series, with a new crew discovering
the Egyptian Hell Mask every episode! Just think of the possibilities!

It's the only movie in which Nancy Davis (now Nancy Reagan) and Ronald
Reagan appear together. Seriously... It only adds to the fun. A must see
for every Reagan fan. (:

This movie has everything worth MiSTing: Bad plot, big puppet
dinosaurs, poorly thought-out motivations, etc.
My favorite scene is when the one of the women in love with Yor
wants to kill off her competition. She is stopped by Yor, only to
watch the "competition" get killed in the next 30 seconds. THEN
she starts _crying_ because the other girl died. Yeeesh.

JULY 7- The central figure in the Iran-contra hearings, Lieutenant
Colonel Oliver North, becomes an instant national folk hero when, with
his eyes glistening and his voice cracking with emotion, he courageously
admits, before a world-wide television audience, that he is very
patriotic. - Dave Barry

I have to respond here because I have a great story that's mildly
related. I was down in Washington during the time of Ollie's trial and
me and my classmates (I was in middle school at the time) decided to go.
We were waiting in line to get in for a long time, and we finally decided
to leave, but one of my friends had to go to the bathroom and we agreed
to stay in line until he got back. Well doncha know, the trial went into
recess about one minute later...
AND MY FRIEND MET OLLIE NORTH WHILE TAKING A DUMP. C'est appropos, n'est
pas? Apparently he was rather nice on the crapper and wished that my
friend would have a better time in Washington than he was having. I know
this is pretty off the post (hell, I'm pretty off the post), but I
thought I'd let you all in on my little story.
BTW, it's hard to kick ass while you're lying through your teeth.

You're not alone. Sad, isn't it? Maybe they could do "Xanadu" back-to-
back with "Can't Stop The Music." Dr. F would have to break out the "DEEP

Okay, so let me get this straight. If i'm angry with someone I might say,
"I will bestill your beating heart!" On the other hand, if I'm infatuated
with a lovely woman I might say, "Be still my beating heart!"

No, Charles, I don't remember Tim Curry being in it at all. And I don't
think I missed his scene: this movie had a cast of six. None of them
were memorable -- except Robert Vaughn, as the dirty old devil!
The plot: ample-chested witches jiggle for the camera. Oh, and there was
something about another woman getting the devil's help to join the witch
sorority.

He's thinking of "The Worst Witch", on Disney. That has Tim Curry as "The
Grand Wizard", sort of a principal of a school for pubescent witches, all of
whom think he's some sort of sex symbol. Bottom line: don't ask.
