This movie is basically a deluxe version of the popular cult-TV favorite 'Mystery Science Theater 3000.' In the movie, as in the TV-series, Dr. Clayton Forrester forces Mike Nelson and his two robots to watch bad B-Movies. As these movies are screened for them (and us), we see the theater seats and them silhouetted against the bottom of the screen. Their running commentary riffs off of the film and each other and their sophomoric jabs at humor form a continuous patter not unlike what might be heard among the audience, if these films were to be shown at a frat party. This particular episode features 'This Island Earth' (1954).

More Movie Taglines:
- Every year Hollywood makes hundreds of movies. This is one of them.
- Finally a movie that's okay to talk through!
Movie Quote(s):
- Dr. Forrester: Oh, who doesn't own an interositer these days?
-
Joe Wilson: If there is any reason around here. Tom Servo: What with all the shenanigans and goings-on.
-
Joe: You know what my kids would say? Crow T. Robot: YOU'RE NOT MY REAL FATHER?
-
[as Cal and Joe assemble the Interositor] Crow T. Robot: Science and Industry! Tom Servo: See big men sticking screw drivers into things - turning them - AND ADJUSTING THEM! Crow T. Robot: Build your very own Atom Storage Box! Mike: Bringing you state-of-the-art in soft-serve technology! Crow T. Robot: Removes lids off bottles and jars of all sizes - and it really, really works.
-
Tom Servo: Suddenly I have a refreshing mint flavor.
Movie Trivia:
- The "hard copy of the status report" that Mike is reading at the beginning of the film is actually a copy of "Satellite News" the official newsletter of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 information club.
-
The control panel for the robotic arms that Mike uses to grab the Hubble is marked "Manos." Manos, along with being Spanish for "hands", is also a reference to the movie Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966) which is generally agreed to be the worst movie ever shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
-
A sculpture of the head of TV's Frank appears on door #2 of the "theater tunnel." TV's Frank was a popular character played by Frank Conniff, who left the show after the sixth season.
-
The TV show's usual density of gags was reduced for theatrical audiences, so that a larger number of people laughing wouldn't cause too much dialogue to be missed.
-
At ninety minutes, each episode of the television series is actually longer than the movie runs (73 minutes).
