Movie Reviews of The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection, Vol. 1 (Bloodlust / Catalina Caper / The Creeping Terror / Skydivers)
Movie Review: Scrumtulesent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great DVD set, It's a riot! It's funny the way the make fun of B-Movies from the 50's and 60's. Interestingly enough the Box set features the Trailer and Original Movie, it's great that you get too see both versions of the movie. Also the Problems with the Disc holding prongs have been fixed.Movie Review: Terrible packaging
Summary: 5 Stars
Was this review helpful to you? Hit the NO button now. This review isn't about the content, its about the packaging. Well, not the actual display box, the system used to hold the DVDs in place. Without a doubt it is one of the worst systems I have ever come across. The DVD itself is held in place by three prongs. One is marked "PUSH" and does absolutely nothing. The other two remaining prongs hold the DVD in a vice like death grip forcing you to BEND the DVD. **** THIS IS ONE OF THE MAJOR CAUSES OF DVD ROT ****
Whoever designed this system should be hung, drawn and quartered along with the wacko at Rhino who approved it.
Thankfully this woefully inadequate system is improved by the time volume 4 comes around.
Oh, by the way, 5 stars for the content, read the other reviews for what they're about ....
Movie Review: Absolutely hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great set with a wide variety of film genres getting the MST3K treatment. Bloodlust is a gruesome remake of the Most Dangerous Game, Catalina Caper is a Tommy Kirk beach romp with some intentional "comedy", The Creeping Terror is possibly the worst and lowest budget monster-on-the-loose picture ever made, and The Skydivers is a Coleman Francis (doesn't that say it all?) "drama" involving some skydivers, a love-triangle gone awry and lots of cups of coffee from the same guy who brought us Beast of Yucca Flats. A great selection for both the long-term MST3K fan or someone just wanting to check out the show for the first time. Catalina Caper is worth it alone, as this comes from the legendarily hilarious second season of the show; when you hear Tom Servo singing "Creepy Girl" you'll know why MST3K is possibly the funniest show ever to be on television.Movie Review: So It's a Skydiving Film... Without Skydivers. 'Nuff Said!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want a prime example of what it means to be a "cult classic" television series, MST3K is it. It even has a following that is very similar to Monty Python's Flying Circus. The show is loved by so many people all over the country. It was only a matter of time when we'd see some of these shows put into volume sets. "Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume 1" is an excellent set with some very funny shows.Who would've thought that the perfect instruments of torture could be B movies? Well, we quickly learn that this is possible with the show. MST3K is all about a man (either Joel Hodgson or Mike Nelson) and his robots being forced to watch some of the worst movies ever created. In the process, they wisecrack their way through every single one of them. It is a talent to admire, as many of us can do the same thing; however, many of us cannot get the same hilarious results as these guys do.
The set includes the movies "Bloodlust," "Catalina Caper," "The Creeping Terror," and "The Skydivers." The best ones are "Bloodlust" and "The Skydivers," as they are really lousy movies; meaning that the boys are able to come up with some hilarious lines and observations. You also have the chance to see these films without the MST3K crew (why in the world would you want to subject yourself to that??!!). Theatrical trailers for the movies are also available on the DVDs.
This is a wonderful show that is brilliantly clever and fresh. It will always remain a favorite of mine, that's for sure. "Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume 1" is a treat to have and a joy to watch. You'll be watching each episode over and over again. A MUST for MST3K fans all around.
Movie Review: not the best of, but a good collection
Summary: 4 Stars
that really sums it up. These aren't the 4 best mst3k movies, but they'll still make you laugh. Bloodlust stars Robert Reed(brady bunch dad) and not much else. Clincher is when the other guy gets refered to as the techie, and also complains that computer haven't been invented yet(the guy's a total nerd)
Sykdivers stars the sky in it's best performance yet.. and some people jumping out of planes. Once again the title of the film says it all. Don't expect a plot, just sky diveing. Somehow it's suppose to be a movie but feels more like a skydiving documentery. Clincher is the bar scene, which didn't fit into the moive.
Catalina Caper stars adults pretending to be kids, and of course creepy girl. Clincher is of course creepy girl song. It has a 60's Disney feel. yep it's lame.
The creeping Terror stars an alien with a long rug trailing behind it. This movie was so bad that before mst3k got it, it was overdubbed with a narrator, cause the acting is just that bad. Clincher is the dance scene. Ten minutes of a dance hall ends eventually with the creeping terror actually eating everyone, and not one person runs!! This is the best of the 4 movies.
