Customer Reviews

Never before has watching bad movies been so fun!
Mystery Science Theatre Vol.1 is outstanding value for money, being 675 mins long you definately get your monies worth! For those who dont know anything about this product, MST3K Vol.1 is a collection of 4 feature length B-movies of which are constantly being voiced over by 3 loveable characters on their spaceship. The movies include The Skydivers, Bloodlust, Catalina Caper and The Creeping Terror.
The special features are aimed at B-movie fans as they contain all 4 films minus any interference by MST3K. For the price this DVD is well worth the buy, even if you havnt heard of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 the packaging is a joy in itself. It is also extremely doubtful that MST3K will be aired on UK television apparently due to copyright reasons, so its worth a look!

The funniest show you have never seen...
This show used to aired on the Sci-fi channel before some legal issues involving the rights to show the awful, awful films were taken away (sometimes you wonder whether the films deserve to have rights, they are that bad) It was comedy at its finest, 3 characters, shot into space as part of an evil experiment are forced to watch terrible movies to see how long it takes for them to crack. However to ease their pain they crack jokes over the top of the films. What follows are some amazingly funny episodes. On this boxset The Creeping Terror is so funny, the jokes they make are so funny. These are mainly aimed at the "Carpet Monster", due to people actual crawling into its mouth. It really is that bad, and possibly the worst film ever "Sky Divers" with an entire sub plot dedicated to the pursuit of coffee. The show is just simply hilarious, you will be rolling on the floor and the humour varies from toilet to black, to down right rude. One word of warning, there are some references to American people/shows that you might not get. Don't let that put you off and remember how funny it is. I implore you all to buy all of the box sets like me. It only gets better...

Viva La MST3K
Mystery Science Theater should be viewed by every fan of Sci-fi, B-movies and Horror, so long as you have a sense of humour. It may take one or two episodes to get into, but once it grabs you, you'll never escape.

The premise is simple, a man is shot into space and is forced to watch the worst movies ever made. We share his pain, and movies are shown in almost-full-length. To keep himself sane Joel (Or mike, depending on the season) are joined by two wise-cracking robot friends.

ON THIS DVD
---------------------------
Catalina Caper:
A mischievous little camp-fest set on a cruise ship. Plot involves treasure, maps and one creepy girl.

Bloodlust:
Trapped on an island with a maniac with a taste for human taxidermy, a bunch of people run around a lot. Good watch, but not the strongest.

Skydivers:
This seemed like more of a filler episode to me, the film is just too dull to be ridiculous. Whatever you do, don't watch this before you've seen one of the classics (manos, space mutiny, gamera vs guiron).

------------

Simply one of the best TV shows ever produced. Long live MST3K.
