MST3k 306 - Time of the Apes

[@nachgeben]

I never used to care for Joel when I was younger, but as I've gotten older, I've come to understand his monotone air of apathy.

[@taurusnbr1]

He had no spark for comedy, he brought down the show. It’s not til Mike came in that it became comedy gold.

I think it's terrible that you don't care about the best quote from a specific episode! If you can't find one you like, just say so, but to insult the whole process and proclaim your complete lack of caring, really hurts the younger fans of the show. Next time, please think twice before making such a rude comment. Thank you for your cooperation. Frank S.

This was edited down from a 26-part serial loosely based on 'Planet of the Apes.' The original title was Saru no Gundan (Army of the Apes). As with all movies created by editing serials, turning 26 episodes into a 90-minute movie resulted in a lot of plot holes, logic gaps, and other 'Huh?' moments.

I think Joel's entire comedic persona is based off a chill, valium-type of character. Stephen Wright(sp?) is another example of that tilk of comedians. Check out some of Joel's stand-up routine, from SNL and other talk shows. Some people love it, others prefer a, "always in motion" comedian, like Robin Williams.

[@AvengerII]

+Travis Bohrer Here's the thing, Travis. I know YOU like to crap on Sandy Frank but let's take another tac on this... I seriously doubt many anime fans would be aware of Gatchaman if Sandy Frank Productions hadn't acquired the rights for the show in the mid-1970s and dubbed it. Yes, ridiculous edits and changes were made but that was the nature of TV back then and TV is ridiculous in new ways today. SFP was the only company in the West that picked up the series. It's amazing everybody else overlooked and passed on it but that's what happened. Two dubs later and a faithful dub of Gatchman was finally done around 10 years ago but nonetheless it would not have happened if SFP hadn't optioned the series (and produced Battle of the Planets) in the first place! ********************************** Besides, look at this movie. The original version was ridiculously bad as it is! No amount of faithful dubbing or subtitling (which most moviegoers and watchers HATE) was going to make this a great film! It's cheesy as hell and that's something going by the standards of the time this things was made. (I think it was the early-mid 1970s?) The 1970s WERE tacky and most fantasy/sci-fi of the period was done on low budget as it had been for decades and things like Star Wars and the Star Trek movie revival were still a twinkle in the eye. People love to praise the Japanese for their anime and videogame productions but aside from recent horror films and classic dramas (Kurosawa, Ozu) and samurai movies their live-action film industry is a joke. (To be fair, 90% of anything is crap -- and that's in anybody's country.) The market for this stuff outside of Japan is smaller and it has a hard time competing against the Hollywood product which has greater (eye candy) appeal. They just don't have the budget for the kind of effects, make-up, and level of production standards they do in the States. When their media succeeds outside of Japan, it's because it has POV's that are fresh, good scripts, and ideas that are executed well and not just because it's Japanese.

Fear Monarch This is actually a compilation movie made out a TV series. Admittedly, a very bad one. But part of the reason for this being such a disjointed movie is that Sandy Frank condensed the footage in such a way that entire story arcs simply breeze by before you can make any sense of them. Adding to the picture's problems is that MST3K actually cut the movie down, so it's missing key scenes and makes even less sense than it would otherwise. The full length version of the film isn't really that much better, though.

I don't think you can intentionally make a movie this bad but thank the fellas at MST3K for making it worth the watch. I appreciate the share!

CLASSIC! Japanese rip off of POAs! This is MST3K at its absolute finest!

What? They missed a setup like "I've been waiting for you, Godot" at 1:12:15? Not even a giggle or a smirk?

Agreed that both had moments of platinum. When I say I "like Joel" and "don't like Mike," I'm referring specifically and only to the host segments - they were stronger (i.e. more directly related to the movie) during the Joel era than the Mike era.

Godot. Godot. Godot. Godot Godot. Godot. Fun fact. My family rarely called anyone by name. When the phone rang, usually for me, my parents would just growl.
