Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/The Movie/YMMV

The MST3K version contains:
"Crow: I calculated the odds that this would work versus the odds that I was doing something incredibly stupid and... I went ahead anyway."
 * Fan Myopia: The cult popularity of This Island Earth is Older Than They Think.
 * Funny Moments: Oh, where to start? The "Waffle Sequence?" "I'm Not An Alien?" The host segments? Or at the end, when Mike and the 'Bots riff their own credits?
 * Outside the riffs, there's Crow's attempt to tunnel back to Earth.


 * "Mike broke the Hubble! Mike broke the Hubble!"
 * "Well, there you have it." "A letter opener."
 * "Watch your lips."
 * (over footage of the ship flying through space) "They're going 65, so they'll be there in 3 BILLION years."
 * "Heil Hitler!"
 * "EASTMAN! He came from the east, to do battle with the amazing RANDO!"
 * (over footage of a farm from the airplane) "Green Acres!"
 * "I'm too low." "I got the blues so bad, uh-huh."
 * He Panned It Now He Sucks: Some sci-fi fans were upset when this classic of the genre was subjected to riffing...though they should keep in mind it's just a show, and really just relax.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: During a scene where Brack communicates via interocitor, Tom sings a fictional theme song that goes, "It's the Brack show, starring me - and Brack! It's the Brack show, and I've got lots of good guests..." Four years later, The Brak Show would come into existence (which was preceded by two specials, both entitled Brak Presents the Brak Show Starring Brak, the second of which was a variety show that - indeed - had guests).
 * Memetic Mutation: Normal View... normal view... normal view... normal viiiiieew!
 * Older Than They Think: This Island Earth was no stranger to being riffed on by the MST3K crew, as it had already been mocked during the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Conventio-Con Expo-Fest-A-Rama. That had the benefit of being explicitly written for the fans, though.
