Tom Servo: Well, I see the movie has finally thrown up its hands and said "I just don't know." |

Film watched: Red Zone Cuba
The MST3K presentation contains:
- Bowdlerized: The MST3K version thankfully omits the whole "raping the blind-deaf" daughter scene, per the show's "No Rape" policy.
- Celebrity Resemblance: The riffs have remarked on how Coleman Francis looks like Curly Howard.
- Continuity Nod: "The Master says you can't stay here!"
- Mike and the bots call back to their previous Coleman Francis experience when they recognize Petey the Plane.
- Fan Nickname:
ChastainJustine- The Three Hobos
- From Nobody to Nightmare: This was the second Coleman Francis film featured. In the first, The Skydivers, he goes entirely unmentioned, but by starring here he makes himself a running joke ("Obviously, you don't know who you've captured here - I'm Coleman Francis.", "The Yankees will pay highly for you, Señor Francis") and when Yucca Flats subsequently aired Mike and the bots freaked.
- What's funny is that Mike had used The Beast of Yucca Flats as a warm up for The Brain That Wouldn't Die.
- Mondegreen: Servo mishears part of the movie's Title Theme Tune as "Mundo Penis."
- There's also Chastain's name; the bots mishear it as "Justine".
- Napoleon Delusion: The movie drives Mike to believing he's Carol Channing at one point.
- Notable Original Music: The "Bouncy Upbeat Song".

Mike: Everybody's having fun and smokiiiiing, and the dogs are eating toooooo... robbing people, killing people... |

- Running Gag: "I'm Cherokee Jack!" and "You shove off!" are running gag riffs by Mike and the 'bots.
- In the review, Three Stooges references.
- Sanity Slippage: The ending host segment. Even the Mads have gone insane by the end.
