Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S05/E23 Village of the Giants
Film watched: Village of the Giants
You know, as in tune as Bert I. Gordon was with The Fifties, he just didn't get The Sixties!—Tom Servo
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains these tropes:
- Actor Allusion: Plenty of references to Lloyd Bridges here. There are also plenty of Opie and Willow jokes at Ron Howard's expense.
Crow: I liked Willow!
- Call Back: While the giant teenagers are dancing.
Crow: "Why wasn't Glenn Manning this much fun?"
- BSOD: Frank experiences one of these, after being Put on a Bus.
- In Memoriam: In place of The Stinger, there is a dedication to Frank Zappa, who was also a fan of MST3K and had apparently expressed interest in collaborating with Best Brains shortly before his death.
- Mickey Mousing: The "Haunting Torgo Theme" gets sped up when Dr. F helps Torgo get to his seat to interview for Frank's job.
Dr. F.: First rule: No theme music.
Torgo: What theme music? (walks away, Haunting Torgo Theme plays.)
- Notable Original Music: "The Greatest Frank of All"
- Put on a Bus: We'll miss you, TV's Frank.
- The Bus Came Back: At least in this same episode.
