MST3K:Prince Of Space

First, the host segments: #1 Crow and Tom playing dog and bear with Tom(dog)unmercifully beating on Crow until Crow cries to Mike "Servo took it too farrrrrrr". love it! seg. #2 M&TB's get caught in a time altering worm hole where everthing is 3 seconds before it happens. great fun! seg. #3 more disorientation as the three suddenly appear in a sun filtered forest. unlike any MST3K segment ever put together. sparkling! magical. As for Prince of Space,how this picture did not get nominated by the Academy for best space man costumes I'll never understand. Has to be seen to be believed. Complete with western cowboy holsters to hold their rayguns and fluffy ballerina ruffles to accentuate their under-arm area. The people of Japan are attacked by a hideous(especially their outer garments)species from the planet Krankor lead by the roly-poly Phantom of Krankor who laughs thusly: "HA!" pause "HA!" pause "HA!" pause HA!!" oh the evilness! Fortunately all life on Japan can and WILL be saved by our hero, The Prince of Space, wearing a super hero cape that his mother told him to wear because it might get cold. The pure silliness and out-dated wholesomeness of this movie is relentlessly lampooned by M&TB's. When the people of Japan admit "Gentlemen, this may be our last day on earth", Mike shoots back "Let's hit the karaoke bar!" A ship from earth heads out to defend our planet against the evil space men....Mike:"Truman Capote sent to fight Krankor!" With an 'exchange of deadly negative scratches' and laser guns 'powered by rotted fish' this MST3K episode is non-stop hilarity. Love the broken sentence ideas commited by the 2 small boys which Mike teases with such innanities as "I saw some smoke/ it's time for lunch/look at the street" and "I'm not afraid/I'm wearing a tie/you go home". Great episode for MST3K first timers!         7/17/09
