Amazon.com: The cult television show (in which a hapless space explorer and his robot pals are forced to watch and deliver a hilarious running commentary on bad movies) makes a successful transition to the big screen as Mike and the 'bots lay waste to the '50s sci-fi yarn This Island Earth (a painfully stiff would-be epic that's actually a cut above the usual MST3K fare). While ardent fans may be a little miffed that more advantage isn't taken of the expanded theatrical venue (aside from a tad more scatological humor than usual, the content here would fit in comfortably as a regular episode of the series), the nonstop, hyper-literate salvo of comedy riffs that run the gamut from references to Tommy Chong's backyard to Yes album covers more than make up for any conceptual complacency. Be prepared to laugh till it aches. --Andrew Wright
MST3K is my god!!! I worship at the alter of MST3K!
This movie is the best movie of all time. Best anything of all time. If this movie were a medicine, it would cure both AIDS and cancer and erase all wrinkles and belly flab!
I love Mike, Joel, and the Bots.
"Yes, your all high toilet hog."
mst3k the original movie these movies run hot and cold, but this is the Original and it is FUNNY. this is the one that started it all, definitely needs to be part of any geeks collection.
Two Movie for the Price of One! As the proud owner of the MST3K boxed DVD sets, this movie was a "must see." The best part is that the worse the movie Mike Nelson, Crow and Servo are watching, the better the wisecrack remarks coming from the trio.
Island Earth is a movie made for MST3K projection. The remarks by Nelson and the robots were so fast and furious, a few times we had to stop the DVD and rewind; we were laughing so hard we missed a few lines. One of the robots even recognized that one of the scientists in the movie played the "professor" on Gilligan's Island. And this happened right after we remarked, "Hey, isn't that..." It was hysterical.
This is one of the best MST3K's I've seen.
No extra's but a release finally Love this movie, keeps me in stitches every time again. Typically humour of the "you had to be there" kind. Sadly no extra's on the DVD, only the french dub; I guess for our Quebecois-friends, as this is a region 1 release. All in all a good buy this new release, especially since up to now old second hand VHS-releases have been going for about $150,-.
I'm not an alien! What else can one say about MST3K: The Movie? Classic series, classic movie. This was my first intro to MST3K many moons ago. I have never laughed so hard in my life. It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but I'm still able to recite most of the lines. When I'm not laughing anyway.
