Not sure what to make of this set. Other than The Clonus Horror none of the movies listed even ring a bell. |

When are they going to release Robot Holocaust? I'm dying to see that one.

Many of the episodes have been posted on You-Tube. One fan posted some of the shorts seperatly, like the opening from "The Mole People" (Gesture Professor) and the infamous Gumby short that traumatised the 'Bots.

Don't ring a bell? Who can forget the Jazz number where the SOL residents do nothing but sing "...Secret Agent...(bum bum bum)...Super Dragon...(bum bum bum)..." over and over again? I can never get that song out of my head.
The movie is a cheap, plodding, goofy James Bond rip-off, FYI, and the episode is above average, IMO.
The Rebel Set, on the other hand, IS completely forgettable. I know I've watched that episode, but I can't remember a single thing about it, even after reading the description for it in The Amazing Colossal Episode Guide.
I haven't seen Starfighters, but according to the guide, it's about Air Force fighter pilots, kind of an action-deficient Top Gun. Indeed, to quote the sidebar for that episode:
quote:
There can be no denying it: Nothing happens in Starfighters. Absolutely nothing. Yes, a bunch of planes fly around to completely inappropriate music and we get to see future presidential candidate Boob Dornan romance a woman who's attractive in a Republican sort of way, but this still adds up to a whole lot of nothing. If anyone can point to any moment in Starfighters where something actually happens, I'd like to know about it, because as far as I can tell, not a damn thing happens in the whole film.
<Skip a little, brother.>
But we were desperate. We had to do a film or the season might have come up short. So Jim, Kevin, Trace, and Mike had no choice but to agree to do Starfighters. The moans of pain that came from all the writers as we worked on that film were truly heartbreaking.
Sounds great, huh?

Oh,man...
STARFIGHTERS was painfull, particulary to Murphy.
The pain engendered lots of riffing.
Its an Infommercial for the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. I got all i wanted from that eph. of WINGS on the Discovery channel, thanks. WITHOUT PILOTS TRYING TO ACT!
If i want a flyboy who can act, i'll call Jerry Doyle! Yeesh!
Intresting plane, but come ON!....

The "Starfighters" episode has one memorable moment, even though you will spend an eternity trying to forget it! It's the skit where Tom and Crow attempt mid-air refueling. You'll feel DIRTY watching it.

Actually I had managed to forget it, until now...
The movie is pretty interminable the whole way through, but patient viewers (and riffers) are compensated at the end with another memorable bit: the "poopie suit." |

A definite improvement over some previous box art, I say. |

Nice! Good change of pace.
Like the use of the original movie posters.

Wow, I guess I'll be the wet blanket here... I think that art SUX. It looks like someone's mom did a paste up with Paint Shop Pro for a disk to send around and torture the family. I really hate it. All the other boxes sucked as well, but at least in a creative, somewhat professional way.
You guys only like it for the posters *g*
