Summary: One of the worst movies ever makes the best MST3K ever!
Review: I saw this episode of MST3K when it first aired. Needless to say, it was one of the most memorable episodes of the series. The short about the car salesman was a nice addition, too. Of course, any die-hard fan of MST3K knows that the very worst movies make the very best MST3K episodes. This one ranks right up there with Glen or Glenda and Spice World as a movie guaranteed to make you gag. See it on a night when you think things can't get any worse. Sure enough, when you put it in the VCR, things will get worse.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My side is STILL hurting!
Review: I saw this piece of celluloid garbage when MST first did it, and I couldn't stop laughing then! The Torgo music is about the funiest thing I've ever heard, but don't eat the CRAZY BREAD (watch it and see what I mean). Best line in the whole movie: "It's like having Joe Cocker for your bellhop." Even if you only know MST with Mike on the SOL, get this movie! Joel was always hilarious, but this was his absolute best, and this piece of crap movie makes me really miss him. Be sure to catch the "Invention Exchange" (a great skit that current MST is missing). Watch this when your day has been BEYOND bad and you need to laugh!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A new definition of pain and suffering
Review: All I can remember after seeing this movie was exclaiming "...that there was a two hour hole in my soul..." But it was worth it! The greatest MST3k ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite show besides Teletubies
Review: Joel and his bots, Tom Servo and Crow, are trapped up on the seatilite of love watching really cheesy movies being beamed up by mad scientist Dr. Forester who intends to make Joel go mad. The only way that they can save themselves is by joking the movie off. This one is so bad even Dr. Forester feels bad. This has a family stoping at an old house to ask for directions. Who could come out but fat thiged weirdo Torgo. He lets them stay there and they soon find a temple in the backyard where there is this guy sleeping and these women tied to steaks. Then the guy comes alive and he's called the master and he has these dobermen pinchers called the hounds of hell. They kill the familys dog, and the master wants the little girl for a wife. This movie is the worst I've seen yet. Funniest part: Torgo get's his hand burned off (I ordered it medium rare)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Just too bad
Review: With all due respect to Joel and the 'bots, no force in heaven or earth could have made this movie bearable. You've got to appreciate their valiant effort, but they really never had a chance. There are shots of cornfields (and nothing else) that last like five minutes. When the action is that slow, there's just not a lot to work with. The plot makes so little sense that they can't even cling to anything long enough to pick it apart. The dialog is not just bad, but hopelessly repetitive, so they can't even come up with very many jokes about it. Bottom line, you're better off with "Mitchell."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Second Greatest Show on TV!
Review: Mystery Science Theater 3000 is one of my all time shows. This episode happens to be the best in my opinion. It's a completly horrible movie, I would imagine the people making it even knew that. As always Joel and the bots do a perfect job of ripping into it with their witty humor!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Probably the pinnacle
Review: Yes, this is probably the worst movie ever made that didn't mean to be, or at least the worst I have ever seen. Looking at the video 3 or 4 years after last seeing it on MST3000, I had forgotten how awful it was, but I had also forgotten the featurette about the car salesman, which, although not the worst of those, is in the top 10. Even the scientists admitted how bad it was and apologized. Get this video and watch it whenever you think things can't get any worse.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IT RULES MAN!!
Review: This is my all time favorite Mystery Science Theater 3000, It is so funny, plus it has my beloved Joel Robinson (Hodgson) in it. Who if your a fan of the show will be coming back with Frank for one epsiode in the new season, which starts some where from January - March 1999

CAN'T WAIT!! It's called Soultaker

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Makes Ed Wood look like a Genuis!
Review: So bad,it's hilarious!I especially loved the slipshot editing,where it seems like several takes were put together one after another!After reading the review that mentions that hal P Warren was a fertalizer salesman,I though"Gee..Why does that NOT suprise me..??"I wonder if any of these people went on to do ANYTHING noteworthy after this film?Somehow,I don't think so!And what about the constant cutting back to the teenage couple making out?Maybe the bottle of booze they kept drinking from was payment for their being in the film!Definatley the best MST3K ever!(By the way:Did you know that"Manos" means"HANDS" in Spanish?Obviously,the producers didn't!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Torgo!!
Review: Any MST3K fan worth his/her salt knows this is the most popular episode ever. The Brains themselves have admitted this is the episode they compared all their future episodes to. The story involves a man (who was also the director), his whiney wife and cute little daughter (who was probably scarred for life after this) getting lost while on vacation and asking directions from a guy with huge knees named Torgo. They decide to spend the night cuz they can't drive in the dark for some reason and end up in the middle of a cult led by the 'Master', who looks like Frank Zappa, and his six scantily clad wives. This movie is so awful that words can't describe it. If you pick any MST3K episode to watch, choose this one. You won't be disappointed. =)
