Help me!” • This is a sneaky episode. I remember not liking it and thinking it’s the least funny of the sword-and-sandal outings, but on this viewing I warmed to it quite a bit. And I’d forgotten that it includes the classic line: “Today is dedicated to Uranus.” • And I’d also forgotten that this is the landmark episode in which Gypsy watches a portion of the movie along with J&tB. Joel’s confidence in Gypsy is admirable, but let’s note for the record that, sadly, Crow and Tom’s instincts were correct. Gypsy is not down with the street. • As we tune into Deep 13, Frank is noisily singing the “I sing whenever I sing whenever I sing” song from “Giant Gila Monster.” • Joel says “Zatharatu” when he means to say Zarathustra. They keep going. • Despite all the hoopla to the contrary, this is NOT the last of the Hercules movies. • As Tom sagely notes: “This would really be exciting if I knew what was goin’ on.” All the excitement about Gypsy in the theater takes place when the movie tries to set up the plot, with the result that I never did really figure out what the heck is going on in this movie. Part of it has to do with the strange plot break that takes place after the first commercial. Before the commercial, there are portents of danger and Herc is tossin’ thrones around. After the break, Herc wakes up on a ship and everybody is smirking silently at him. The heck? Then there’s something about Atlantis and girls inn rocks and I don’t know what all. • Does this story resemble any actual ancient tale? Was there ever a King Androcles (with or without a lion)? • Gypsy’s riff: “They’re steam-cleaning the horses!” delights J&tB. Eh, not bad. Of her few riffs, I actually like “Oh, they’ve got a fun friend” better. • By my count, Gypsy lasts 5 and a half minutes. Sheesh, Gypsy, these sword-and-sandal things are among the more watchable movies MST did! What a lightweight! • Gypsy exits left. A few other chracters have exited or entered this way. Where does that exit lead? And how do they eat and breathe? • Firesign Theatre reference: “…The Golden Hind” • Crow falls apart almost immediately during the good-natured brawling. Trace rolls with it brilliantly. • I never noticed before that, a couple of times, they do a needle drop on that musical sting that I think was originally composed for “This Island Earth” and that I’ve heard in a lot of Universal movies. • Crow goes a bit overboard with the “I have my rights! It was Callahan!” bit. (For those who don’t know, it’s a reference to the movie “Dirty Harry.”) He does it five times by my count, practically every time the little guy in the movie has a line. • Callback: “Hurry, Diana!” (Undersea Kingdom) • My copy, from 1995, included the little “facts” about the movie as the commercial breaks ended. Two of them are only tangentally related to this movie–they discuss other actors who also played Hercules. Thin gruel. • That’s Frank as the voice of the action figure when he says “I’m so sleepy…” but the final comment is by Mike. Wonder why they didn’t just have one of them do all the comments? • Fave riff: Dear lord, the canary exploded! --Copied from http://www.mst3kinfo.com/?page_id=246 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Category Mystery Science Theater 3000 Rating N/A Size 654.20 MB 1 file Name Size MST3K - 0412 - 20090226 - Hercules and the Captive Women.avi 654.20 MB md5sum AddDate 26/02/2009 Uploader WildCelt Speed 0 KB/sec Down 579 times peers seeds: 5, leechers: 0 = 5 peers Graph: eDonkey NeCrom-X 04/03/2009 20.43.01 I never noticed V2s before what's the differeence between this one and the one that used to be up???
