Film watched: Future War

"It's not the future, and there isn't a war, but you know me, I don't like to complain."
|

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment of this movie contains examples of:
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: While trying to demonstrate Forced Perspective to the (unimpressed) bots, a real giant Tom Servo appears in the theater to frighten them away.
- Call Back: A brief shot of a movie theater showing Casablanca causes Crow to ask Mike to dopple him into it.
- During Mike's insistent examples of forced perspective, the bots wonder if it has anything to do with Joel's recent visit.
- Captivity Harmonica: "Well, I suppose one of us has to play harmonica."
- Department of Redundancy Department: Water: Nature's liquid
- Gosh Dang It to Heck
|
Tom Servo: It's Jean-Claude Van Damme! |
|
- Incredibly Lame Pun: During the Container Maze scene mentioned above.
|
Crow: He's boxed in. |
|
- Intoxication Ensues: As part of her Mad Science, Pearl doses the 'bots with hallucinogens, and Mike uses a screen to see what they see. Crow misidentifies Mike's Milky Way for a Snickers bar and freaks out, while Servo sees the same distorted, gibbering nightmare he sees every day. Crow is also surprised to learn that Mike isn't a clown.
- I Read That As: Before the final letter shows up, Servo reads the title as Future Wax. Which makes about as much sense as the actual title, honestly.
- Ironic Echo Cut: Taking a cue from the movie, Mike and the 'Bots call Pearl to thank her for not killing them, interrupting her attempt to shoot the SoL with a missile. They feel quite betrayed afterward.
- Long List:
|
Crow: Hello, I'm Droppy The Water Droplet. Did you know that there are literally tens of thousands of uses for water? Here are just a few thousand... |
|
- Shout-Out: Crow's Droppy the Water Droplet is very similar to his Willy the Waffle (in turn Coily the Spring from A Case of Spring Fever.)
- Take That: When a couple of kids are shown playing The Beautiful Game, Mike comments that soccer is the only thing more boring than this film, and that the last thing he wanted to see was soccer in the film.
