Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S03/E01 Cave Dwellers

Film watched: The Blade Master aka Cave Dwellers

Like Pod People, this film featured an opening credit sequence that took scenes from a different movie. O'Keefe was allegedly amused by the show's take on the film and called Best Brains (Mystery Science Theater 3000's production company) to personally request a copy of the episode. It is one of the most popular episodes of the series. The Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of the movie is available in both VHS and DVD formats. This movie is often cited as the movie you want to introduce somebody to the concept of MST3k and riffing on movies in general.

Compare with Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell and Quest of the Delta Knights.

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation has examples of:

 * Catch Phrase: "How much Keefe is in this movie?" "Miles O'Keefe"
 * AKA "Miles O'Beef"
 * Quoth Mary Jo Pehl: "Every inch of Miles is a mile I want to travel." Or something to that effect.
 * Side-note: Every time they have a chance, MSTies in MSTing fan-fics of Deep Space Nine will recycle this joke. "How much Brien is in this story?" "Miles O'Brien!"
 * Freudian Slippery Slope
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: "It's Speedy Delivery Guy, and has he got a package!"
 * Hypocritical Humor: "Mockery is the ignorant man's weapon."
 * Running Gag
 * Joel getting Dong Wong  Gomez Thong's name wrong.
 * "Dad?"
 * "No-o!"

"Thong, the fish is ready."
