Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S03/E04 Gamera vs. Barugon

Film watched: Gamera vs. Barugon

This is one of the nine Sandy Frank Japanese films originally used for a KTMA episode that was riffed again a few years later on Comedy Central.

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 version provides examples of:
"Tom Servo: "Good morning!""
 * Celebrity Resemblance: Joel goes insane and starts listing about a dozen of these. Gamera's resemblance to Karl Malden (especially his nose) is a Running Gag throughout all the Gamera episodes.
 * Computer Wars: Discussed in the opening segment by Tom (who prefers Macs) and Crow (who prefers PCs) while Tom tries to work on a file on Crow's computer. Crow pushes Tom's button on the oft-delayed System 7.
 * Joel (who concludes that both interfaces are fine, it's just a matter of personal preference) stirs things up by mentioning the Amiga.
 * Does This Remind You of Anything?: When the missiles... er... rise from their launchers.

"Crow: Well, that's it. We're licked. (Servo chuckles as Joel casually rips off Crow's arm again) Crow: Sorry, SORRY! (Joel tosses the arm away) Servo: That's what you get."
 * Incredibly Lame Pun: It becomes a Running Gag while the cast watches helplessly as Barugon eats up the antagonist with his tongue.
