Film watched: The Magic Sword
In a highly unusual admission, Joel Robinson and Tom Servo said the movie was "pretty good for a Bert I. Gordon film" during a theater segment. (Crow T. Robot seemed to disagree.) The writers of the show continued the praise in their Amazing Colossal Episode Guide.
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation has examples of:
- Bad Bad Acting: Frank, while trying to sell the merits of Forrester's half of the invention exchange in a one-act play. Complete with glances at the teleprompter.
- Blatant Lies: Dr. Forrester's attempt to reassure Frank that he looks fine in the final segment.
- Girl of the Week: Crow rather famously ended his idolization of Kim Catrall to pursue Estelle Winwood in this episode instead.
- Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!: Crow justifiably-I mean, weirdly has this reaction toward Sybil. Weirdly. Yes. Stop looking at me...
- Which turns a little squicky if you realize Estelle Winwood died eight years before the episode aired.
- Incredibly Lame Pun
