Trivia: EDWARD LUDWIG also directed John Wayne in the sea adventure Wake of the Red Witch, which featured the rubber octopus which Ed Wood used in 423-BRIDE OF THE MONSTER. Other Ludwig films include The Fighting Seabees; and That Certain Age.

WILLIS O'BRIEN (1886-1962) is called the Father of Movie Stop Motion Animation and was sfx-wizard Ray Harryhausen's mentor. Other O'Brien-effects films include: 1924-The Lost World; 1933-King Kong; Son of Kong; 1935-The Last Days of Pompeii; 1949-Mighty Joe Young; and 1956-The Animal World.

Beautiful, exotic MARA CORDAY plays the typical love interest of the 1950's sci-fi flicks here in THE BLACK SCORPION. She was a contract player at Universal, but she was weary of action pictures, Westerns, and sci-fi like 1955's Tarantula. Corday was dropped by the studio after she refused to appear in The Incredible Shrinking Man and belittled the script for her proposed next project, 804-THE DEADLY MANTIS. (Actress Alix Talton took the role instead). When she saw on the screen exactly how awful 1957's The Giant Claw was, she semi-retired from film and concentrated on TV roles, mostly Westerns. Mara Corday was married to actor Richard Long (TV's Big Valley), who died in 1974. She's been working with her oldest son on his project to have a Big Valley reunion TV-movie, in which Linda Evans (star of 512-MITCHELL) and Lee Majors have expressed interest. Fans interested in an autographed photo can write her at P.O. Box 800393, Valencia, CA 91355.

Trivia: Born in 1954, RON HOWARD's first acting job was appearing on the stage with his parents in a production of The Seven Year Itch. Most of us got to know him as the little boy Opie on TV's Andy Griffith Show and later as teen Richie Cunningham on TV's Happy Days, which was a modified version of his role in the 1973 film American Graffiti. His screen debut was in 1959's The Journey, followed by the role of the lisping-singing kid in 1962's The Music Man. He appeared with his brother Clint in 1976's Eat My Dust.

In 1978, Howard finally got a chance from Roger Corman to direct Grand Theft Auto, and two years later directed the formidable Bette Davis in the TV-movie Skyward. 1982's Night Shift was his first big success, followed by Splash (1984 starring Tom Hanks); Cocoon (1985 with Don Ameche); Parenthood (1989 starred Steve Martin); Backdraft (1991 with Kurt Russell); Far and Away (1992 starring Tom Cruise); The Paper (1994 with Michael Keaton); Apollo 13 (1995 again with Hanks); Ransom (1996 starring Mel Gibson); and as mentioned many times in this episode, Willow (1988 starring Val Kilmer).

Make-up man WALLY WESTMORE comes from a large family of many make-up artists who worked in the movie business. (For details, see the Trivia Section in 614-SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL, which contains info on his brother BUD WESTMORE and the whole Westmore clan). Wally helped made actors look good in movies like War of the Worlds; Double Indemnity; Sunset Boulevard; and 906-THE SPACE CHILDREN.

See something familiar in those exterior shots? No wonder...some of those houses were also used for TV's Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie.

This source was VHS dubbed to a set-top DVD recorder.  I cleaned up the sound, and deinterlaced to reduce flicker, but otherwise left the video pretty much alone.  It's not great, but if you're not happy, find me a decent SP source and I'll redo it if I feel like it.

In the future, all robots will act like Don Knotts.

This ep is missing a brief segment about 38 minutes in where the source tape cuts out for 10 seconds or so. Also, at times the shadowrama tends to blend into the murk of the movie, which is something I could only improve so much, even with brightness and black level adjustments. However, I did attempt to clean up the hiss in the audio with reasonable success.

Trivia: Born in 1954, RON HOWARD's first acting job was appearing on the stage with his parents in a production of The Seven Year Itch. Most of us got to know him as the little boy Opie on TV's Andy Griffith Show and later as teen Richie Cunningham on TV's Happy Days, which was a modified version of his role in the 1973 film American Graffiti. His screen debut was in 1959's The Journey, followed by the role of the lisping-singing kid in 1962's The Music Man. He appeared with his brother Clint in 1976's Eat My Dust.

In 1978, Howard finally got a chance from Roger Corman to direct Grand Theft Auto, and two years later directed the formidable Bette Davis in the TV-movie Skyward. 1982's Night Shift was his first big success, followed by Splash (1984 starring Tom Hanks); Cocoon (1985 with Don Ameche); Parenthood (1989 starred Steve Martin); Backdraft (1991 with Kurt Russell); Far and Away (1992 starring Tom Cruise); The Paper (1994 with Michael Keaton); Apollo 13 (1995 again with Hanks); Ransom (1996 starring Mel Gibson); and as mentioned many times in this episode, Willow (1988 starring Val Kilmer).

Make-up man WALLY WESTMORE comes from a large family of many make-up artists who worked in the movie business. (For details, see the Trivia Section in 614-SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL, which contains info on his brother BUD WESTMORE and the whole Westmore clan). Wally helped made actors look good in movies like War of the Worlds; Double Indemnity; Sunset Boulevard; and 906-THE SPACE CHILDREN.

See something familiar in those exterior shots? No wonder...some of those houses were also used for TV's Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie.

Special thanks to Christopher Walters for the source tape and Ortega for audio help.

NOTE: This encode is from a 20 year old source tape (Comedy Channel era), so please adjust your expectations accordingly.  There was some pretty significant audio distortion in the source tape, and the print Best Brains used of the movie itself wasn't great to begin with, so quality of this encode is the best I could squeeze out.

An episode of the WB Network's animated series Freakazoid did a remarkably observant parody of this movie, with Freakazoid in the Forrest Tucker role.

Trivia: Born Barbara Nickerauer, character actress and former model BARBARA NICHOLS (1929-1976) always played the wise-cracking blonde with the nasal Brooklyn accent, the tart with repartee, unusual for her time as most blondes were portrayed as vacuous. Some of her films: 1954-River of No Return (with Marilyn Monroe); 1956-The King and Four Queens; 1957-The Pajama Game; 1960-The Scarface Mob; 1961-Where the Boys Are; 1964-The Disorderly Orderly (with Jerry Lewis); 1965-The Loved One (with Jonathan Winters); 1966-The Swinger; 1968-The Power; and 1976-Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood. Nichols had a memorable recurring role of Miss Chickadee on TV's Beverly Hillbillies.

Born in Michigan in 1939, truly huge (7' 2" tall) RICHARD KIEL, who plays the evil Dr. Kolos here, also appears briefly as a pinhead in 411-THE MAGIC SWORD; as the Solarite monster in 902-THE PHANTOM PLANET; and, of course, plays the title role in 506-EEGAH! He's perhaps most famous for playing the maniacal, orthodontically-challenged Jaws in the James Bond flicks The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker (1979). His filmography also includes: 1962-House of the Damned; 1964-Roustabout; 1974-The Longest Yard; 1975-Flash & Firecat; 1976-Silver Streak; 1978-Force 10 from Navarone; Humanoid; They Went That-A-Way; 1981-So Fine; War of the Wizards; 1983-Hysterical; 1984-Cannonball Run II; Mad Mission 3; 1985-Pale Rider; 1990-Think Big; and 1996-Happy Gilmore (with Adam Sadler, ack!). Says Kiel, "My wife is 5' 4" and everybody asks me how we do it."

Many of us remember Christopher Lee way before he was Count Dooku or Saruman, as a B actor best know for his Hammer "Dracula" films. Here's a chance to see Chris in his former glory: as a stereotypical Asian villain complete with slanted eyes, a "Fu Manchu" mustache (well, I guess he *is* playing Fu Manchu here) and looking embarrassed in a bad, bad movie.

This experiment gets a bad rap - it's actually pretty funny.

323- THE CASTLE OF FU-MANCHU

Host segment 1: Crow decries "The Miss Saigon Syndrome," J&TB become distraught, the Mads are pleased
Host segment 2: The Shriner Flying Carpet sketch collapses into weeping; delighted, the Mads order out
Host segment 3: The bots are inconsolable, Joel tries to cheer them up with the story of Fu-Manchu, but the pain becomes too much. The Mads celebrate
End: J&TB are utterly beaten, the Mads toast their victory and are so cocky they try to riff the film themselves! Gotcha!
Stinger: Monkey pile on the castle guard!

Episode Guide: 522- Teen-Age Crime Wave

Last modified on 2008-11-13 02:32:51 GMT.

First shown: 1/15/94
Opening: Another escape attempt
Intro: Mace mousse, the escape plan fails
Host segment 1: The golden age of the “doughy guy”
Host segment 2: The first deli in space
Host segment 3: Mystos!
End: Tom delivers some letters; Frank is “Doughy Man” but Dr. F. sprays him again, again, and again

Loading ... Loading ...

• For those who missed the note last week, I am skipping episode 521- SANTA CLAUS for the time being. I will get to it at the end of season 5, as the Christmas season is getting under way. Seems more appropriate.
• This movie has a great opening half hour and pretty exciting last 20 minutes. Unfortunately, it also has a deadly 40 minutes in the middle. The segments are hit and miss, with a wonderful finsh. All in all, it’s in the fair-to-good range.
• Invention exchange fadeaway watch: The mace mousse seems to be a genuine invention. Frank is hilarious, by the way. Mike’s still busy escaping–though he does CALL it an invention!
Non-spaghetti ball bumpers: pan to beaker; closeup on datebook.
• Movie observation: An example of stupid script writing: The matron asks the fueding inmates: “Who started this?” What real matron would bother? Has that EVER worked?
• Segment 1 was an instant hit and within hours MSTie internet was bursting with peons to doughy guys. And as a doughy guy myself, I enjoyed it. Mike really belts out his part.
• Annoying commercial: One of those stupid Mentos commercials, which acts as a sort of setup for segement 3! Was it intentional?
• Callbacks: My tape was from the premier of the episiode (from this point forward most of my tapes will be from the premieres): “Mitchell!” Of courese, there are too many callbacks to count in segment 2. And “Why don’t they look?” has already joined the rotation.
• Mike carries Servo by the neck when they enter the theater after segment 2.
• Of course this episode also gave us the classic line: “He’ll never touch you, Terry, you’re dirt.” The Brains apparently really liked because it was used many times thereafter.
• Um, the movie shows an obelisk and Mike (I think) says “The Roddy McDowell monument!” Um, huh? If they’d said “The Milton Berle monument” I’d get it. Was Roddy known for his, um, endowment?
• The mace mousse bit at the end just gets funnier and funnier. It’s very reminiscent to the “Daddy-O” ending.
• Fave riff: “You’re gonna have to get in line. Couple o’ cows ahead of you.”

Classic Line: "Spider?! Bah!"

Trivia: On the phone inside the movie theater, character Mike mentions wanting to see Gordon's ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE. You can see the lobbycards for it in the background, and a poster appears outside the theater. Lobbycards and posters for 309-THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN also appear not-so-subtly.

THE SPIDER was retitled as EARTH VS. THE SPIDER to cash in on the name of another successful movie with a similar title, EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS (1956).

Tall, dark and gaunt, actor MERRITT STONE was in four B.I.G. MSTed movies: Carol's dad in 313-EARTH VS. THE SPIDER; a consoling cop in 319-WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST; a king in 411-THE MAGIC SWORD; and the minister in 414-TORMENTED. He made three films in 1953: Port Sinister; Problem Girls; and Sword of Venus.

Born Gene Stuttenroth, GENE ROTH (1903-1976) is easy to locate because he looks like Gary Busey's father with a craggy face with baggy eyes. He was the sheriff in both 313-EARTH VS. THE SPIDER and 406-ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES. He was the lunch counter guy in 414-TORMENTED and a railroad conductor in 419-THE REBEL SET. His other films include: 1952-Red Planet Mars; 1957-Zombies of Mora Tau; 1958-She Demons; and 1961-The Cat Burglar. Roth also frequently played the heavy in the Three Stooges shorts with Shemp and later Joe as the third Stooge.

And not to be confused with the two previous actors, B.I.G. bit player JACK KOSSLYN portrayed Fraser in 313-EARTH VS. THE SPIDER; a lieutenant in 309-THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN; the KTLA newscaster in 319-WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST; and the ogre in 411-THE MAGIC SWORD. His other films include: 1957-The Devil's Hairpin; 1958-Attack of the Puppet People; 1973-Breezy; and 1977-Empire of the Ants. Kosslyn also made some films with Clint Eastwood: Play Misty for Me; The Eiger Sanction; and High Plains Drifter.

Pert JUNE KENNEY, who plays Mike's girlfriend Carol here, can also be seen as Asmild in 317-VIKING WOMEN and as Betty in 607-BLOODLUST. She was also in Mr. B.I.G.'s Attack of the Puppet People; The Cat Burglar; and Corman's Sorority Girl.

Classic line: "Flag on the Moon...how did it get there?"

Trivia: From the late 1940's to the early 1960's, there were hundreds of atomic tests performed at Yucca Flats, Nevada. The government plans on burying over 77,000 tons of nuclear waste in vast tunnels already dug in nearby Yucca Mountain. The site is 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas.

The geiger counter used in this movie and in 619-RED ZONE CUBA was provided by HOWARD MORRISON, who was a pal and roommate of an AOL MSTie's father. Like many others in the 1950's, they unsuccessfully tried their luck in uranium prospecting out West. (This uranium-mania was even depicted in an episode of TV's I Love Lucy, in which Lucy and pals accompanied Fred MacMurray on a zany uranium hunt!)
