Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S03/E05 Stranded in Space
Film watched: The Stranger aka Stranded in Space
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains examples of:
- Bait and Switch Credits: The Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, like Pod People before it, has credits with scenes from a completely unrelated movie. The closing credits were similarly redressed. The real opening credits take place with our hero's ship in space as a background, while the proper closing credits come up over a freezeframe of Stryker on the beach where he winds up at the end of the movie.
- Shout-Out: During the movie's opening credits:
(an earthquake occurs, causing Dr. Hatmann from Prisoners Of The Lost Universe to lose his balance and fall into the teleporter) |
- Right after the credits:
Joel: (as Stryker) You know, I just had the craziest dream. And You Were There, and you, Tim... |
Servo: Next week, on Mannix! |
(After a beat, Bettina slaps Styker and starts getting out of the car)
