  • Narrated by I.P. Freely. Before watching I want to remind you all to please just LEAVE ROBERT DENBY ALONE!! Now that we have that out of the way, I also thought I should inform those somewhat new to MST3K and/or those not familiar with this episode that it is not an actual movie but a show that went by the name of 'Gemini Man' that came out in the mid 70's. The show had 11 or 12 episodes and half of them weren't even aired.

      The network took a few ~30min tv episodes and glued them together to make an 80-minute movie. Then you took what those turkeys did and whittled back down to about 30 min. Sweeeeeeet!

    I had to know how far it is from Torrance to Long Beach, California. As long as Ben Murphy averages ONE mph along the most direct route, he should be able to make the journey in the allotted 13 hours.

    • @chimpinaneckbrace

      12:53 On top of that he’s a half hour behind schedule. Did Ben Murphy put the truck in neutral with the hope that downhill momentum will get them there? Maybe they are rolling backwards. What a turkey.

    5:13 What he meant to say was,"For the love of God, please stop! You are making my ears bleed!" 7:56 He is working on papers in a helicopter without patent papers? Am I the only one that is confused? I really don't see this guy using a 'memory palace.' Especially since his formula doesn't even work. 9:24 Why is there a speaker in the back of a diesel truck's cargo hold? 10:29 Flashbacks to things he wasn't even awake for. 11:12 How do his clothes and watch turn invisible? 11:37 So he turns off the only advantage he has in this fight? Because... reasons? I suppose the whole movie can't be bad guys throwing themselves to the ground. 12:22 Be sure to look away from the four guys you are arresting while standing next to them. 12:26 Where did all these ropes come from? 12:51 Just ignore the sound of the helicopter's blades in the background. 20:15 Shooting at a gas tank will just put a hole in the gas tank. Without a flame, nothing will happen. 20:05 Isn't this the most convoluted plan to kill someone? 26:42 With all the things he could be doing as an invisible secret agent (sabotage, survivance, fugitive capture, information gathering, etc.), all he uses it for is to get in drunken, uneven, fist fights? 28:36 How many plotlines does this movie have? I'm still waiting for The Grim Reaper to show up. 32:24 She has telepathy, I guess? 34:28 This version of the movie 'Speed' sucks. 35:59 And thus the concept of 'Brokeback Mountain' was born.

    As a trucker, this movie is a comedy of errors from pretty the word go. The 70's was a lot of things, but this ain't it. These guys made an unwatchable movie "a real knee slapper!"

    • @shawnfields2369
      @shawnfields2369 Год назад +2

      Well, that'd probably be their specialty. They can take any film, especially the worst and most obscure movies, and make them watchable, or take a completely watchable film, and somehow make it even more worth watching, because that's the magic of either MST3K/RiffTrax. And these guys are hilarious, and it doesn't matter who's on with them, they always make it hilarious to watch, so I'm even surprised that someone can even rank their "Funniest Episodes"; because every single episode is so funny that I'd have trouble even choosing a funniest episode, because all of their episodes are so great. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must clean my glasses, the turkeys are coming...
