I can't believe people complain about problems with the quality of the videos. We should all heap praise upon analogkid01, a true believer in circulating the tapes.
"Waaah! The quality of VHS ripped straight to RUclips isn't perfect! I want a minimum of 1080p!"
All Hail He Who Circulates The Tapes 🙏🙏🙏
@@Jesse__H amen brother
Better quality then the nothing I've brought to the table.
Probably millenials complaining.
I think some people just don't appreciate the work that our analog friend has done for us. Without him and people like him, lots of folks would never even have seen MST3K.
Exactly I found them and rifftrax on RUclips because it didn’t play on Canadian cable where we were
without analog and mondo, rifftrax would never have happened!
Same here, my riff loving friend :)
I'm in Montreal so finding MST3K was near impossible until a friend at work told me about them.
After that I was on the prowl, looking through all the video stores I could find.
Finally, after moving downtown I found one that had the VHS RHINO releases and I've been a fan ever since :)
Cheers, mon ami :)
I, for one, am so glad they made a Fugitive Alien II. There were so many unanswered questions.
Like why Joel and the bots kept mentioning death by forklift?
Lol
I mean remember technically these 2 films are 4 episodes of a Japanese TV series.
@@XJIcequeenIt’s Sandy Frank’s theme song.
Like, did they ever succeed in killing him with a forklift?
55:17
Guy 1: "It won't be easy getting into this place."
Guy 2: "How will we do it?"
Guy 1: "Easy..."
Servo: "What? Wait a minute."
The remixes of the “He tried to kill me with a forklift” song are magical, as well as Crow’s Rocky (again!?) and Bullwinkle reference!
hee hee hee remember the awesome Bullwinkle ref in "The Day The Earth Froze?" (Could somebody put me out please, I seem to be on FIRE!)
Put in the comments the forklift songs
The "Rocky Again" thing is from another MST3K called 'Crash of the Moons'.
@@-byko-8423 Thank you!
Crow's 9Again!?) gets me every time. I keep rewinding and watch those parts.
It's 2021 and MST3K is needed now more than ever.
We need the original crew like Joel and Mike need to be back. New MST3K is slightly bad
@@ElazarY i really enjoy Rifftrax, these days.
@@ElazarYnew MST3K is too lowbrow for the style of humor. The obscure and esoteric gags offset by the immaturity of the characters was funnier.
Yeah but I still found enough there to enjoy it.
The 6 episode gauntlet was a lot of fun!
Sometimes it takes a cast a few seasons before everything comes together.
Either way, it was still cool to see new episodes, even though I do prefer Rifftrax overall.
Cheers from Canada
I can't get enough of the repeated Rocky and Bullwinkle "Again?" riff
Those, and one particular related riff from "The Day The Earth Froze" still send me into random, public giggling fits.
1:12:08 "I love Ken, he is my sweet friend, and I love him. I'm so blue, cuz I don't think Ken loves me. I'm all messed up inside, I might have to off him."
Classic. A christmas time miracle.
Hello Wedge Wizard!
Absolutely beautiful 🥲
Star Force: Fugitive Alien is based, (very loosely,) on the book "Star Wolf," by Edmond Hamilton, and believe it or not, "THE BOOK WAS BETTER!"
18:24: "Pants ..... too tight ...... I'm ... turning Japanese."
So much gold in this episode.
Rocky Cubed It..... (Cubensis psychedelic shrooms).
My all time favorite MST3K episode. Watched it when it was new, mannnny years later I still sing Marching Up The Big Sand Hill every time I walk uphill. 😂😂
"Hey, corn! --HEY CORN!?!"
Fugitive Alien I and II are my go to house cleaning/puttering around the house episodes!
Character 1 "It won't be easy getting into this place"
Character 2 "what do we do"?
Character 1 "Easy"
Now that is properly bad dialogue
Oh, wow! The captain is played by Joe Shishido, of the chipmunk cheeks! He was a big movie star in the '60s who played in lots of yakuza movies, including Seijun Suzuki's notorious "Branded to Kill." Early in his career, he thought he was being held back by his face not being full enough, so he had a chunk of plastic implanted into each cheek, giving him the signature puffy face look you see here. I'd know those cheeks anywhere.
weird! Here was the reference to his cheeks: salvagedstars.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/kristy-mcnichol-obscure-actress-and-singer-wannabe/
So he really IS Captain Joe!
Seriously? What an interesting form of dysmorphia. Well, I hope he felt better after getting that work done on his face.
You have to love puppets trying to define what a puppet is when they think they are robots, but are really puppets.
touche, Crow has legs, so he is not a puppet
@@TemmiePlays But have we seen Crow *walk* ? 🧐
@@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt actually yes
@@TemmiePlays Which episode/season? Was it on the classic show or the netflix stuff?
@@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt classic
"I'm not gonna watch you cowabungle your life!" is the best line of the episode, and it's not even during the movie.
Also 46:52 is the Dragon Radar sound.
"You've got spunk.
I HATE spunk."
Nice reference to Ed Asner's character in The Mary Tyler Moore show.
🎶 HE TRIED TO KILLL MEE WITH A FORKLIFT!!🎶 Damn you Servo! It's stuck in my head!
Tell me when in the film he sang it
@@XJIcequeen ruclips.net/video/OSf2Td8ZZQs/видео.html
Then you realize; the movie they’re watching is as old for them as this episode is for you.
Not even close, it is far older for us. The Star Wolf TV series dates from 1978, the MST3K episode aired in late 1991 and it is now 2020. That's 13 years vs 29. More than double....
Why does this disturb me so much?
@@kerriganm - ruclips.net/video/TdIRrmNN_CQ/видео.html
Compared to PRINCE OF SPACE and iNVASION OF THE NEPTUNE MEN, this movie is a cinematic masterpiece.
Ain't that the truth! I stumbled across the non-MST3K Prince of Space years ago and it was essentially unwatchable. I'd take a Gamora marathon over either of these stinkers any day.
Invasion of the Neptune Men had the random Hitler building reveal, which is the funniest thing to ever happen on this show.
Such a scary statement 😵😱😥
While the editing is wonky... I can actually figure out the plot. It's not as obtuse as everyone makes it out to be. The two "movies" are actually pretty fun to watch on their own even without Joel & The Bots.
Ah: the "he's nicer than Hitler/crony-capitalism isn't so bad compared to Stalin" defense.
It didn't work at Nuremberg. & when you consider that, when "trying" to impeach Trump, congress reminded us that taking private $ while in public office is a criminal act (for obvious reasons), it's no defense here either.
They triiiieed to kill me with a forklift...
OJ should have tried that.
Ole!
AGAIN?!!
Hay!
Huzzah!
Always seem to come back to these... even years later.
I know this quote has probably been posted everywhere here but hell I wanna do it too-
"HE TRIED TO KILL HIM WITH A FORKLIFT!"
"It's a Super Tom Servo with Thrush Busters and Glass Packs WOW! Tunnel Rim, 4 barrel, chopped and channeled. Coool" hahahaha I almost died
One of my favorite riffs. It really does look like a tricked out Servo.
The dubbing actors sound like they're in the same studio as Joel and the bots.
+mrcydonia Yeah I was confused by that
And the narrator is a bit too close to Mike Nelson's voice
Glad someone else noticed that. All the voices are kind of bleeding together...it's not too terrible, just a bit confusing at times.
Thot it was just me!
Bwhahaha totally happened to me too.
55:17
1. "It won't be easy getting into this place."
2. "How will we do it?"
1. "Easy."
Servo. "Wha- wait a minute."
Methinks I smell a contradiction there.
"They communicate by gasping."
We really missed out on some truly original TV.
Hell no...I don't give a crap about MST3k - I just post all these videos because of all the chicks I get.
Ya da chicks love the MST3K
Nerd chicks? Can be sexy😉😉😉😉😉
Give that bitch a riff.
Bitches loves riffs.
Spurious Lathos so why are High on Fire/Sleep shows such sausage fests?

"It won't be easy to get in there"
"So how do we do it?"

encouraged the crew in Lifeboat No. 6 to return to the debris field of
the 1912 sinking of RMS Titanic to look for survivors.
I love Titanic references
@@XJIcequeenWho doesn't?
The part where Servo's dome implodes is way more gruesome and hard to watch than The Incredible Melting Man
It was pretty brutal, Servo's my favorite character Q~Q
Seriously, I almost thought he was gonna die for real! Did Clayton and Frank really almost kill him with a weapnoized b-movie!?
analogkid01, I just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you for posting all these mst3k shows! I don't know when I will ever ever find the time to actually watch all nine hundred and something or other episodes, but it is just nice to know that they are available. Greatly appreciated!
Favorite bit:
Crow: "Is the defibrilator a thing that looks like a vacuum cleaner, or a thing that looks like a battery charger?"
Joel: "It's the thing that looks like a battery charger! Now would you get it together?"
All while Servo nearly *DIED* because of the movie's awfulness. Damn...
best show in TV history
I unironically like these two movies. They’re not good by any means, but there’s something oddly charming about them, even in their awkward English dub.
English? I thought this was the Klingon dub!
Me, too. I'm sure they would make a lot more sense in the original TV format with subtitles.
The Fugitive Alien film/series successfully predicted the invention of the mobile phone accessory that makes it look like you're talking to yourself.

"Or worse!"
Captain Joe, dude... I loved you, but I'm not gonna sit here and watch you cowabungle your life. - Donatello
I'm still confused why the Japanese thought an actor with hamster cheeks would look like a captain with gravitas. He looks like he's keeping walnuts in there!
he's on a short list of men I would describe as looking like a baseball coach
I think his cheeks grew since part one.
"Diarrhea is like a storm raging inside you"
but only for a short time. Then it's a storm raging outside of you...ugh
vladnefarious i.e., explosive diarr., well, you know, just explosive, after a sub from subway leftover not refrigerated.
Shart attack. Code brown.
"Did someone say that they had diarrhea"? ruclips.net/video/Y6oVJUWB54I/видео.html
"Those machine guns will mow you down."
"Hey Moe!"
Am Moe! And plenty more to follow.
hahaha love this episode Joel and the Bots seem really into this one, a great riff every few seconds XD
When Tom has his "episode" and falls apart, just as they're leaving the theatre, Crow says "Grab his legs!"
WHAT?!
At 45:20 they pick up the captain after tranquilizing him. One of them says " Ken pick up his legs."
"They blewed it up before we found out what it was."
"Blewed or Blued?"
The proper pronunciation is "blew" or blown in the past tense.
LOL...Tom has always been the funniest..."Me so Silly"
He’s my favorite lol 🤖
There is no plot... there is only... Ken.
Ken, no Barbie, and no dream house.
Joel was never really comfortable being in front of the camera (which should be sort of apparent), but he also started having creative differences with Jim Mallon, the producer of the show. The split was *mostly* amicable, as evidenced by Joel's visit in episode 1001, and his continuing work with some of the MST3k cast on "Cinematic Titanic."
analogkid01 But he also refused to let them use “Gizmonic Institute”. I prefer Mikes jokes.
Is that why he closes his eyes when he talks?
I keep hearing this, but I'd be curious to know what the creative differences were.
@@yohei72 I'd always heard that it was less "creative differences" and more of a (still continuing) personal issue he had with mallon. for one thing, Joel sort of implies that Jim was the reason that the reboot didn't happen until 2016. My guess is that Joel wanted to either add more robot characters (which he ended up doing in seasons 11/12) or overhaul some of the shows set design qualities, and Jim believed it would tank the show's ratings
@@bjwwilcera Interesting. Thanks for the scuttlebutt.
A coworker of mine crushed my foot with a fork lift. Now when ever I drive it I sing he tried to kill me with the forklift
that would almost be worth having a foot crushed by a fork lift -- especially if that colleague had seen this experiment.
Sorry that you had to shake hands with danger.
"Guitar riff"
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Hope you're okay.
Cheers from Canada
tom servo can SING!
This is the best and funniest movie they ever had, even funnier than the one where the guy from New York City goes to the diner down south and says he wants some Egg Cream, and they look at him like he's some kind of pervert.
Crow does an exceptional Shatner.
Even better than Shatner's Shatner?
"Meow Meow Kitty" is actually Henrietta Pussycat from Mr Rogers but whatever.
"You'll never destroy me, Star Wolf"
"Only I have the brains to rule Lylat!"
No way! I dont believe it!
"Where have I seen this before?"
"I don't know... Maybe a long, long time ago... In a galaxy far, far away..."
This is my comfort episode. I have it memorized and still watch it weekly.
These episodes got me thru the worst times in my life
As a New Zealander, the Split Enz joke hit the spot.
As a guy named Joel, myself, I'm glad to know there's at least one cool person with my name. I mean, aside from me.
+Fairy Seraphim Joel Grey, Joel Coen, Billy Joel-- no, wait...
+analogkid01 Joel Osteen... wait, fuck.
Me, too!!!
Joel...just Joel, from the last of us.
But I thought your name is Fairy...whaa?
6:10 SANDY FRANK was responsible for the ROBOTECH anime TV series of the mid 1980's
Nope. That was Carl Macek and Harmony Gold Productions who gave us the insane train wreck that was Robotech.
That song medley sequence was golden and I loved the heck out of it.
All the random singing during the theme music is awesome!
One of the best "musical" episodes.
"Don't CowaBungle your life dude!". Donatello Splinter.
35:10: Col. Urulin:How did you find out about that?
Capt. Joe: By gettin' drunk.
Love that one!

When is that?

I wish someone had had the decency at some point in time to tell me not to cowa-bungle my life...
Estuve buscando esta serie por 20 años, por fin la encuentro. Muchas gracias Amigo!!!
What the heck was going on in the last third of this movie?
They had a plot, the plot was resolved...and then stuff kept happening
Sandy Frank was notorious for this. He'd buy entire runs of Japanese tv shows and monster movies, put a blindfold on, and keep snipping and stapling until his daily quota of 5,000 ninety-minute American tv-movies was complete. Despite being a rather litigious man, who was once bored enough to file suit against an ex-fiance he broke up with five years earlier, Sandy Frank's reportedly a pretty good sport about having being on MST3K ten times.
Futonrevolution When his not gadding about the house all day....
Futonrevolution He should be a good sport about it since it's free publicity.
James Schuur There was a long, long time where the Sandy Frank MST3Ks couldn't be shown and there were a few dozen different stories as to why. He doesn't understand this "free" word you speak of. It's short for "freeway billboard" publicity, right?
This "movie" (and the first one) was cobbled together from episodes of the 1979 Japanese TV series "Space Wolves". Time of the Apes was the same (1976 series "Gundan").
"You've got spunk. I hate spunk!" So many little asides like this are lost on the younger viewers. You had to have seen a certain episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, from the 70's, to appreciate that one. Classic.
I forgot about that - good call.

I experienced missing time when I watched this fabulous flick.
This was the intended purpose: this movie was projected from the future, you may experience an unhealthy craving to dress in tight orange polyvinyl outfits [ you have been warned ]
One 0f my FAVORITES!!! He triiiiied, to kill me with a forklift...
I'm going to take a gamble/risk/venture and have the balls to say
Star Force: Fugitive Alien II > Manos. Best episode of the Joel era by far.
"I don't have all day" "I mean I do, but I don't want to spend it all doing this"
look at that gap between the seats and the edge of the frame. look at it
bjwwilcera It's hypnotic.............
I saw therein the gap between one thought and another, then looking deeper I saw the gap between being and none being...then I realized this went too far...
bjwwilcera Why couldn’t they just get the camera angle right!?!
You do it. I'm bitter.
James Schuur Thank you for warning them before it's too late
People are naturally curious...then I explain to them that I have a really big head!
Thank you for this MST3K classic. I was hoping that the 2 hour time meant you had original commercials. Once a scourge of the watching public, they are direct links to our past now.
Commercials are more valuable on VSH tapes than what you actually recorded. It is kinda funny how that changed.
So very true.
@@Dresdentrumpet "VSH" tapes? Have you been taking LDS? 😁
@@brandonobaza8610 Nah, just don't know to spell acronyms

The " ROCKY!" ... "AGAIN" ? thing can not get old for me ! cuzitbefunny
2:51 OMG!!! Rick and morty owe MST3k some royalties! That is definitely morty.
Remember, Mike was writing a lot of the jokes during the Joel era and he was the chosen successor to be on screen host. So, I think they probably shared at least some of the same tastes in humor. I like both hosts for different reasons. As for the Joel/Mike argument, we should heed the wisdom of Fugitive Alien II, "Ill chosen words have been known to start wars."
...and now there is the Jonah Ray camp to deal with as well.
@@paxhumana2015 Jonah Ray is garbage, the netflix version and so on are not mst3k. They can call it Mst3k but it most certainly isn't. I have no idea what Joel is thinking. Rifftrax is the new mst3k or even the short lived cinematic titanic. The "new mst3k" is an abomination and Jonah is a dbag along with the rest of the shit cast
I like the new stuff just fine. Some of the eps are top-notch ("Wizards of the Lost Kingdom" I and II are idiotic movies, well riffed). But personality wise, Jonah will never be Joel or Mike (I like both, but I lean Mike).@@crowt.robot.6199
Do you ever wonder how anyone managed to get funding to film this? This show is the only thing that can make these movies palatable.
its like 2001 a Space Odyssey with 25 people involved!
Actually, 2001 and its related ilk are like higher budgeted versions of Space Mutiny, but even less charming and original. Also, Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov were shitty pseudo-scientists and authors.
I get the feeling ken was written with a young teen actor originaly set for the role, gets recruited against their will, has some space magic crap, never listens to orders, starts fights, the usual lead character crap most japanese sci fi shows have(look'n at you, gundam)
Now the problem here is(aside from the above) ken is clearly portrayed by an actor in his late 20's early 30's, so how he acts and how others treat him is REALLY distracting given the terrible miscasting here
I believe you are correct. I think I read the book by Cooper in the 70's, I found it in a used book store. Ken was like a renegade, blonde Mormon teen. His parents were missionaries. I tried to find it again but can't.
At least Gundam had badass giant fighting robots. If Megas XLR has helped me to learn anything, it's that, you, I, and chicks all dig giant robots.
*****
lol only things i remember about megas xlr is the main guy kinda looked like jon tron and it had half the cast of cowboy bebop voicing it
+ColeVecsion I'm not surprised you don't remember too much of it. It only lasted two seasons. Since then, though, it has amassed a bit of a cult following. I only saw a few episodes as a kid, but I thought it was pretty cool. A giant robot piloted by a fat bastard in a classic muscle car... now that's as American as a giant fighting robot show can get.
Thank you for uploading!! Keep circulating the tape lol
*Sings* Sandy Fraaank, Sandy Fraaaank... he tried to kill me with a forklift!
ole!
"Now I can brown nose myself!" Fantastic.
Almost as though that line was improvised. Love it.
MCMLXXXVI? He's the Scottish guy in charge of copyright! (Love that joke so much)
I feel like the concept could be kinda cool as one of those one off Netflix mini series. Someone put a lot of work into this and it's a damn shame Sandy Frank did this to it
The Fugitive Alien "movies" (sloppily edited-together episodes of a TV show, really) aren't nearly as bad as something like Mighty Jack or Invasion of the Neptune Men. I actually find these pretty watchable sci-fi schlock. Of course, they're still very easy to riff on, making these some of my favorite Joel episodes.
I love how they squeezed in a whole episode in the last ten minutes of the film by making it completely incoherent. Convolution vision? More like convulsion vision! :D
0:00 I'm glad this was recorded in High Fidelity. It really shows!
It's the highest...quality...fidelity you can get, *and* I added the TK-421 modification. The original audio was recorded in Doubly.
analogkid01 ty for the work you put into these uploads. Watching these helps me relax and wind down to get to sleep.
