Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S08/E07 Terror From the Year 5000
Film watched: Terror from the Year 5000
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains these tropes:
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: At one point, Bob asks if there's a good movie playing in town. Mike's response: "So now we get to watch people watching a movie? What's that about?"
- Food Pills: Observers sent Mike their super-advanced Food Pills — but you have to eat huge heaping bowls of them.
- Notable Original Music: The Observers' "When I Held Your Brain In My Arms".
- Non-Singing Voice: The Observer played by Mike Nelson lip-synchs Kevin Murphy's voice for most of the song.
- Running Gag: Servo keeps impersonating the narrator's booming declarations of the TERROR FROM THE YEAR 5000 to apologize and make excuses for the TERROR's failure to show up until about an hour into the movie.
Tom: I Realize I May Have Oversold The "Terror" At The Beginning, And For That I Apologize.
- Time Machine: Used to mess with Mike Nelson a bit, and to teach Crow a lesson for same.
