{{quote|''"You know what? You lose me straight away when your movie's protagonist is named 'Zap Rowsdower'. The second I hear him identified as 'Zap Rowsdower' I am squeezing past you and climbing over your legs and muttering "excuse me" and I am getting the hell out of the movie. Only this time I couldn't because I was at work and I'm hourly and I had used up all my vacation and sick time. How about Plink Holmgren? Or Pow Flowhauer?"''|'''Mary Jo Pehl'''}}
''[[The Final Sacrifice]]'' is a noble but doomed attempt to film an old-fashioned adventure film in rural Canada with [[No Budget|an ultra-low budget]] (around $1500) and an inexperienced cast and director. It is best known from [[Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S09/E10 The Final Sacrifice|its appearance]] on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''.
Ruled by the evil Satoris, an ancient cult of [[Mooks|Canadian wrestlers]] is bent on world domination. Instrumental to their plan is a map to the ancient [[Precursors|Ziox]] cult idol, recently discovered by a young boy, Troy McGreggor. When the cult [[Call to Adventure|invades his home to recover the map]], he flees and ends up in the bed of a passing pickup truck, driven by the film's [[Designated Hero]]--a burly, surly Randy Bachman-lookalike hilariously named [[Awesome McCoolname|Zap Rowsdower]]. At first Rowsdower considers turning Troy over to the police, but after Troy helps him to fix his broken-down truck and Rowsdower helps Troy escape from the cult leaders again, he decides to let Troy stay with him. Rowsdower and Troy become friends and together search for the [[MacGuffin|lost idol]] before the cult can claim it and take over the world.
Line 36:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: ''Zap Rowsdower!''
* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: Satoris gets a lot of these.
* [[Covers Always Lie]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20110905211348/http://www.riverblue.com/mst3k/finalsacrifice/poster2.jpg This] was the cover for the US release of the film. There are no swords in this movie, and those two guys on the cover look nothing like either of the two actual leads.
* [[Cult]]/[[Religion of Evil]]: The goal of this particular religion is to raise an army of zombies to [[Take Over the World]].
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Killed by the cult in the beginning of the film.
