Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S01/E13 The Black Scorpion

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Film watched: The Black Scorpion

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains examples of:

  • Body Horror: The Mads after trying to make a cold fusion Walkman. Erhardt's head is swollen and deformed, and Forrester is reduced to a skeleton.
  • Did Not Do the Research: Possibly intentional. Forrester mistakenly attributes the film's special effects to Ray Harryhausen. Joel later correctly identified O'Brien in one of the host segments.
  • Running Gag: Joel and the Bots clap whenever Dr. Hank Scott's name is spoken.
  • Visual Gag: Joel and the 'Bots holding up giant hot dogs during the film's opening sequence.
