A perfect MST movie. I was laughing hysterically during the clone's escape scene (gunshot, "ow!", gunshot, "ow!, gunshot, "ow!", ad infinitim).
Favorite riff: "I think you're neat!" "I like how keen you are!"
this was a pretty funny one. I would say my favorite riff, but this is a civil website. One hint, campfire.

I liked the riff thats's something to the effect of, "It's the go-as-slow-as-you-can-without -tipping-over-race"
Is Peter Graves living with the heart of a baby at the end of the movie? He said his next clone was only a baby and he ends up getting impaled through the heart by his brother. So who's heart was it if it wasn't the baby clones?
This was my first experience of MST3K - a friend had taped it while in the US and brought back to Australia.
Quite amusing in parts, although the bit where they watch the film is best - didn't care much for the bits on the spaceship and so on.
The dissing of bad films reminds of an Australian comedy team who would find really bad films and then, live in the cinema, would provide new dialogue for the film with obviously humorous results.
It was his brother's clone that they got the heart out of. Remember the frozen Richard at the end, with a black hole in his chest, and Tom riffs, "I can barely hear my heart beating..."
Presumably a riff is one of those off-the-cuff humorous comments made by those watching the film?
Yup.
how about the scene where the gal turns around with the scar?? "I had jello today...."
This one really blows. I read that Mike and cast were so hurt watching this several times, that middle fingers were shown to the screen to express the pure pain of suffering through this ordeal.
The main guy does look like a spin-off of Three's Company Larry!!
"Camp Reject was designed to house all the losers."
"He swallowed his lips!"
"All the neighbors got together and bought your friend a robe."
"A beer can struggles upstream to spawn."
"What?...oh, do it! do it! jump! JUMP!"
"Oh no, the garbage right in front of me!"
"I wet the bed again. Wah."
"Tonight on Biography..."
"Sure!!"
"This is probably the most interest anyone has shown for Milwaukee."
"Crotch fires and you."
"And the Children Shall Hit Proffessor Bobo in the Crotch with a Ball"
Did anyone else think that the movie breaks with the children pounding their fists in the air and rhyming were from the TOS episode "And the Children Shall Lead"? Bear in mind that I've only seen the first half of the episode though...
Crow: "Whup! He lept right into the Soylent Green factory!"
Tom(with an Irish accent): "Aye come roight in and enjoy some wholesome 'pawrn'."
I also enjoyed the Mario jokes, like them humming the Mario theme whenever the doctor appears.
Wow! Thats Alonzo Hawk from the Herbie movies! (Gee, can you tell what movie I'm watching?)
Here's a riff I couldn't parse for the life of me. It's near the beginning..after Blonde Clone and Richard have their wierd contest, one of the guides hands Blonde Clone a bag of...something and Crow chimes in with "Winner of the International Jeffery Games" Does anyone know what that means?
"Jeffrey" was a movie starring Steven Weber, Patrick Stewart, Nathan Lane and the guy from "The Pretender" about the trials and tribulations of a young gay man. I believe the riff, which occurs just after the horrible doughey shirtless man-wrestling, was a reference to that movie. Because you know...the gayness...
This is not sanctioned, gentlemen, you're doing this on your own.
Has anyone seen trailers for the upcoming Michael Bay film "The Island?" What has Hollywood come to when they have to start ripping of CLONUS?
Apparently the producers of Clonus have also realised it, as they're now suing The Island for plagiarism!
"Hop on Pop, the Movie"
"He's got the finely body of a pro golfer."
"HQ, my hat looks like a muffin, over."
"Aww, have some sun my little friend."
"Ooh, she burns good."
"Convenient he happened into the Department of Backstory."
"He's a renegade mime."
"They may have to rethink their $11 security budget."
"You can't smoke chocolate, I know that now."
"There's a stirring in my little Clonus."
"This is our 'ool', notice there's no 'p' in it!"
"Brought to you by the Greater Nursing Home Council."
"Let me guess, he's going to turn his mouth down and look depressed for a change."
Hmm...the actual story for this movie is a reasonable one, and perhaps with actual production values and a cast who could act, it would make more impact. As it is, it has a very tacky feel with its cast of aging veterans. For a MST3K-ed film, it's a little talkier than I like them, and a lot of the riffs are a little repetitive in order to fill the gaps where's no action (like the joke about the girl having no nose or "Biography!"). In short, this is like a poor, boring movie, lacking the colorful insanity or the out and out badness that for my money, make the best MST3K episodes.
That said, like any episode, there's any number of great moments and I like the weird sketches with the alien kids.
I liked the alien kids too, Mike. Pearl-era segments tended to drag and throwing them in with goofy things like the alien kids just made for fun MST.
