Space Mutiny

This was one of the first 'Mystery Science Theater 300' riffs I ever watched, and it is still one of the best.

The film would be unintentionally hilarious even without the treatment from Mike and the Robots, but their commentary raises the bar even further.

Plot, acting, SFX, stunt work, plagiarism, dialogue, continuity, it all adds up to a car-crash of kitsch. Nobody in the future, it seems, can shoot straight unless they are a blond lump of muscle with an oddly high-pitched scream.

The baddie has a proper pantomime villain's laugh, and milks it for all it is worth. All the exterior shots are from 'Battlestar Galactica'. Then there are the 'priestesses', whose scenes look like really bad Kate Bush videos. Oh, and we have a rare incidence of "death by walking stick".

Surrender to the magic or be blown to "astro-dust".
