=== The ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' episode has examples of: ===
* [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence]]
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Frank wants to know if Dr. Forrester can come to Second Banana Heaven with him.
** Servo ''really'' gets into the moment of silence in the prologue.
{{quote| '''Servo:''' God, this is great, eh? This is so spiritual, I just can't believe it. ''[chuckles]'' You know what this silence thing is like? Well, I'll tell you. I feel like one of them trapper monks or somethin'. ''[chuckles]'' No kidding, really! I feel so purified, my soul is as smooth as a baby's behind! ''[laughs]'' And I'm not just talkin' insights here, noooo sir! I'm talkin' ''visions!'' I'm talkin' ''full-blown illumination!'' I'm talkin' about ''revelations shouted down from the mountaintops!'' I'm talkin' '''huge, deafening thunderclouds of truth!''' We're beyond mere silence here, friends! We're in a '''''mega-silence!''''' You've heard about the big bang theory of silence? This is it, man, '''''ka-BOOM!''''' ''[laughs]'' '''Boy, is it quiet! Wowwee, is this silence or what?! ''I feel enlightenment and satori! It's like I'm sitting under the Bodhi Tree!!'''''}}
* [[Continuity Nod]]: In the final scene, Dr. Forrester sings a snipped of [[Village of the Giants|"The Greatest Frank of All."]]
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Crow's "heartfelt" goodbye to Frank.
{{quote| '''Crow:''' "Dear Frank, you are a pig. Love, Crow."}}
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]:
{{quote| '''Dr Forrester:''' Could you... push the button, Frank?<br />
'''Frank:''' ''[chuckles]'' Watch me ''ROCK.'' }}
* [[Moral Dissonance]]
{{quote| '''Mike:''' Bested at every turn, he gets a chance to light some helpless women on fire.}}
* [[Special Guest]]: Torgo the White (Michael J. Nelson)
* [[Shout-Out]]: Torgo the White recalls the introduction of [[The Lord of the Rings|Gandalf the White]]
** Before that, Torgo appears to Crow, who blurts, "Something is going to happen, Mike. [[2010: The Year We Make Contact (Film)|Something WONDERFUL!]]"
*** Gypsy's farewell letter refers to [[John F. Kennedy]]'s speech, which in turn referenced ''[[Hamlet]]''.
** The giant clam skit is a reference to [[The Three Stooges]].
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Well, being the messenger of an otherworldly power has to be a step up from a evil religious fanatic's lackey/pizza delivery guy, right?
{{quote| '''Frank:''' Hey, they fixed your knees!<br />
'''Torgo The White:''' ThErE aRe No BuM kNeEs In My WoRlD, cHiLd.<br />
'''Frank:''' How about your voice?<br />
'''Torgo The White:''' ''[Confused]'' W...wHaT aBouT mY vOiCe? }}
** Torgo ''still'' ends up being a Chinese food delivery guy - which may be a step up.
* [[Unexpected Genre Change]]: The film ''seems'' to be a standard vampire horror story, and the professor has just managed to summon [[Heroic Willpower]] and faith to shake off the mind control of the vampire queen... and then El Santo just ''walks'' into the room in all his [[Mask Power|silver-masked]], [[Shirtless Scene|bare-chested glory]] and the professor doesn't bat an eye. All Mike and the Bots can do is laugh hysterically.
{{quote| '''Servo:''' (as El Santo) I feel sort of silly right now. Did I overdress?}}
** And pretty much explicitly pointed out with "Sorry, do you need any ''wrestling'' done?"
* [[What Could Have Been]]: ''[[Master Ninja]] III'' was supposed to be the last episode of year 6, but changed to this film because Frank Conniff really loved the luchador genre.
