MST3K - Favorite Moments - Radar Secret Service

In episode 520 producer Robert L. Lippert and director Sam Newfield bring us their own personal ode to the most wondrous invention ever to be bestowed on human kind -- RADAR!!
Yes, in Radar Secret Service there are no limits to what radar cannot do for us -- except for making a decent movie with a somewhat coherent plot and a minimum of excitement.
The RSS, an undercover Radar Secret Service organisation (you know they are undercover because of the GIGANTIC bubble-thingie they have on the roof of their car), is apparently in charge of finding missing evidence, schools of fish, locate deposits of minerals, and tracking bad-guys when they try to steal nuclear material.
If nothing else, they know how to diversify.
Anyway, a band of hoodlums try to steal some U2-38 (didn't know they made an album named 38), but luckily the RSS is there to drive around with their giant melon and somehow manage to prevent the U2-38 from be ferried out of the country to be used for... whatever.
The most interesting thing about this movie is trying to guess who is who in relation to what and whether or not you actually want to know.
The movie is preceded by the rather depressing short, Last Clear Chance, in which a police officer tries to ruin a young mans joy of finally having gotten his drivers license by telling him how easily it is for him to die horribly on the mean streets of the rural south.
Yes, nothing spells vehicular safety more than showing a young man a bucket full of his own brother!
Look out for a man making chu-chu in his pants, the Soul Train, the danger of kidnapping, a werewolf in mid-transition, the flashing of neighbours, the stake-out of a dessert tray, someone making the mistake of dying, the danger of women's hinders, the stupidity of peace, an order for more homicide, Henry Kissinger, the impish officer of death, the Melon Squad, a coupon for yams, small gangsters (or huge cars), a fight over dullness, a heliocopter-aereoplane, the need of a bigger steering wheel, a driving Boris Jeltsin, a full acre of car, a man-sized litter box, a car crashing in a different movie, someone trying to leave, everyone surrendering to everyone else, and lots and lots of radar.
Enjoy!

Mike: You know, son, 40% of all accidents... Servo: Oh shut up, will ya?

[@chaosinc.382]

Gets me to bust a gut every damn time

[@RicotheJuggler]

"Many people who have lived through a crossing accident will say, AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" Nearly spit out my drink!

[@waterspout8]

"There's a dead man!" "I'll take care of it" "Thank you!"

[@Krendall2]

I guess the actress thought, "I have only one scene, but I'm going to make it COUNT!"

[@LchanOtakudom]

"Would you identify this bucket full of your brother?"

[@sixtythreekraft2608]

The actor that played the cop played cops on tv for 40 years in many, many shows. Adam -12, Kraft Suspense Theatre, Star Trek TNG, etc. etc. William Boyette.

[@TimelordR]

The Last Clear Chance, the most heart-warming, feel-good feature ever seen on MST3K.

[@luisreyes1963]

No actual law enforcement personnel were the involved in that short. 👮🏻‍♂️

[@samwise495]

Second only to Days of Our Years

[@AshuraH]

"We all have the right to remain silent."

[@williamcrowe2576]

"Listen, brother! 40% of all accidents represent... Nearly *half* of all accidents!"

[@JamaicanCastle]

But are they caused by women's hinders?

[@lastxwriter]

"Woah, almost ran over Kissinger! I'm gonna have to go back!"

[@Rick-Raven]

"The world made sense an hour ago!"

[@Darbobski]

Last Clear Chance is one of the BEST short films ever given the MST3k treatment. So quotable.

[@shaakadog2]

"When will we be married?" "Before too long." LOL!

[@someonenow1]

I like the part in the movie where they talked about Radar.

[@SuperWidemouth]

"We gotta start usin' both doors" Nobody in the history of automobiles has ever entered through the passenger door so he could sit in the driver's seat.

[@TheMaxundmoritz]

In movies from the 30s and 40s they often get in the passenger side. Those cars were big.Notice all the men wearing hats and driving?

[@faithfulgrl]

Well, I had to for a while. Since then, I've never worn a dress👗💃

[@primepm8861]

The Kia Soul hadn't been invented yet.

[@pdlbean]

the director's mistress, everyone

[@monkeymouse]

"Kiww the wabbit, kiww the wabbit..."

[@johnwriter8234]

"Whew! .. I ALmost ran over Kissinger! ... (I have to go BACK)"

[@paulgibbon5991]

That "THANK YOU!" is right up there with the Devil Fish "I KNOW!"

[@Tubie1111]

haha, Tom Servo started singing "Are you happy in your work" from "I Accuse My Parents", a movie they watched with Joel :D

[@notyoursavior78]

Oh I didn't pick up on that reference. That's a good one. This was a funny video but yeah I don't see myself trying out the whole movie until I have a lot of downtime.

[@1967davethewave]

ROTFLMAO!!! "Oh, would you look at that, Billy Joe McAlister is down there"!!!

[@ilikethecokev2]

I can say goodbye from here. *GOODBYE!*

[@GoblinXXX]

You're spending the night in the barn with your crazy cousin! (The safety shorts are some of the best things MST3k ever did.)

[@Hollowshape]

You're deep, Ernie!

[@billding7073]

It's the size of the amplitude, and don't you forget it.

[@deepblueharvest]

ah, the old days, when nuclear reactors consisted of unenriched U-238 in deuterium oxide

[@skylx0812]

*Loud train goes by. Girl: "I have no feelings for you!" Boy: "What?" Girl: "This a loveless relationship! I want out!" Boy: "What?" Girl: "I'm repulsed by your touch!" Boy: "What?" Girl: "Let me out right here I hate you!"

[@jamesschuur2801]

That radar car looks like the google car that scans for google earth! This movie was prophetic so I guess fedoras will come back in fashion...

[@WorldWar2freak94]

The safety short seems like the type that the DMV requires people to watch. Of all the shorts riffed on, this one was actually not that bad. A bit melodramatic, but also provides useful information.

[@perplacymp]

Never let this happen to you! Don't make the mistake these people made! : Always remember to stretch when on stakeouts!

[@eddieavilia2299]

"looks like a werewolf in mid transformation." Genius observation.

[@dribblingbacon]

One of the greatest shorts of all time, here.

[@Damar158]

The calls are coming from inside the car!

[@johnwriter8234]

"Lot's of guys look like me ...(you should see my MOTHER")

[@vonzigle]

"Dress like a leopard and sing La Traviata..." :-D

[@Eyetrauma]

You guys didn’t start using radar without me, did you?

[@bleedsilvernblack]

"I found the answer to all our problems. What is it? A coupon for yams." LMAO!!! Thank you, auritone! Keep up the great work!

[@em23]

The police office in this short played a police sergeant in Adam 12

[@SeanP7195]

How could they leave out "oh those Golden Grahams"

[@SuperWidemouth]

U-238 and Radar...terrific together.

[@jonathanbethards3689]

*Bobbers. Red and white plastic bobbers. They float. Use them.*

[@MikeSmith74653]

I like the terror in the sprocket holes bit the best!

[@luisreyes1963]

Your mean "tear in the sprocket holes". 🎞️

[@FrenchPaul1988]

The maid going bananas is seriously hilarious on her own. No need for a riff here.

[@luisreyes1963]

French Paul 1988 Now that's a woman who's at the peak of her "squishiness". 😋

[@hanz101]

i was doubled over 90% of the time laughing just at "the last chance" great upload man.

[@DJPenguino51]

"I'm going to get a coffee and a bear claw. Do you want anything?" lol

[@christieperry4361]

A night to remember Take a letter Maria Billy Joe mcCalister is down there

[@ahoneanatwo]

Gary Burghoff goes undercover!

[@sixtythreekraft2608]

2:57 A 1959 Edsel. You can also see a 59 Pontiac in a couple of spots and a 59 Oldsmobile.

[@joshporter5205]

Oh, no! Hugo Weaving nearly hit Harry Kissinger!

[@johnwriter8234]

+Josh Porter .. (ALmost .. "I have to go BACK!")

[@bobn2056]

Why couldn't Radar save Frank Jr.!?!?

[@ilikethecokev2]

Because he didn't look. Why don't they look?

[@VictoryProject]

Please keep up the great uploads. I miss MST3K and this is the fix I need.

[@FancyMSTie]

SECOND most heartwarming and feel-good. First place goes to Days of our Years.

[@luisreyes1963]

FancyMSTie Nothing emboldens the human spirit like a short film about fatal accidents. 💀

[@burrhill]

FancyMSTie Both from the "Death Surrounds us" series, a service of Union Pacific Railroad.

[@mrmosty5167]

“What is it?” “A coupon for yams.”

[@filidorable]

Beach balls, get your beach balls. Throw them back and forth on the beach.

[@sil80d]

Chrome golfballs on sale now!

[@Snoofalah]

Ah, thank you much. That part makes me laugh the hardest.

[@philipmonihan8222]

Evidence that Christ himself invented radar.

[@wickedmuffin76]

"Never under any circumstances drive with your butt cheeks"

[@joshuablack8221]

As an investigator in Chicago who drives all over the gigantic county, I can tell you that the most dangerous things I face while on the road are Asian Female drivers and female drivers 💯😂😂😂

[@vonzigle]

I kinda like this movie because the shots show the area where I grew up. Very nostalgic!

[@ilikethecokev2]

Yeah, it's really cool when you find out something was filmed near where you live. Tim Conway filmed one of his Dorf specials at the Egyptian museum where my parents met which isn't that far of a drive from my house.

[@burrhill]

vonzigle I just like it, because it has radar.

[@melindafrancis6623]

How did you make out? Used my tongue. 😂😂😂

[@wickedmuffin76]

"You get any action?" "Ha! In this movie?"

[@robertreynolds8204]

A 1947 Cadillac limo makes the perfect get-a-way car, but the car that hit the tree was at least 10 years older. Jay Leno probably owns the Caddy now...wish I did! I watch MST3K movies for the vintage cars that are used. Edit....was a 1940 Ford convertible really pushed over the cliff to avoid a head on with the ambulance? What make was the Ambulance?

[@kguy152000]

Thank YoOuU!

[@docdave15]

Why don't they look?

[@cocosilk]

One of my favorite riffs that you didn't include was the Goodfellas riff of the helicopter scene between Tom and Crow. Nonetheless, I enjoy these best-of's. Thanks again for posting them!

[@FrenchPaul1988]

One thing bugs me with the short - why does a guy come up to explain about road signs to a person AFTER that person got his driving licence ? Shouldn't it be the first thing taught in driver's ed ?

[@Blyndtyger76]

There really wasn't drivers Ed I think back then. My mom took her test at 16. My dad was driving at 14, but finally took his test at 18.

[@neoterous]

We all have the right to remain silent lol

[@brianfuller5868]

Pay attention to driving. More drivers in 2018 need to learn safe driving. This was a good short. This was a great flick and a great episode. John Howard and and Adele Jergens had long careers including this so bad it's good

[@Smokron]

yaayyyy a new upload

[@Kinemacolour]

It's U-238. As in Uranium-238.

[@luisreyes1963]

Kinemacolour Thank You, Mr. Science...🤓

[@littleblackduck3134]

Can you identify this bucket full of your brother? 😂

[@deirdre108]

Instead of radar do they really mean Radio Detection And Ranging?

[@FallFanCan]

3:23 Kissinger lol

[@sixtythreekraft2608]

3:09 59 Pontiac

[@Blyndtyger76]

Where we going I don't know

[@MoonspiderHugs]

new upload...YAY

[@luisreyes1963]

You will accept RADAR in your life! 😳

[@animatrix1490]

2:08 Oh, if he only knew...

[@Blyndtyger76]

Here Dan Fogelburg tickets

[@zybeco]

William Boyett made a career out of playing a cop .

[@gulfmarine8857]

Some of these titles

[@metalmaria26]

The short still isn't as depressing as Avengers Infinity War.

[@leannewho664]

8:23 Fat Vincent Price, is that you?

[@kylestubbs8867]

9:55 Is that a reference to something?

[@ZeroCool_Numbers]

THANK YoooOOOOooooUuuu

[@boogiebabe67]

DON'T DRIVE WITH YOUR BUTT CHEEKS!!!

[@leannewho664]

2:11 It's also a crappy teen romance series.

[@anitarichmond8930]

So funny

[@Snoofalah]

10:34 Who's doing that sound?

[@jondunmore4268]

I always confuse LAST CLEAR CHANCE with X MARKS THE SPOT as the one with "Why don't they look?" NOW I'M SURE - it's THIS turd.

[@Krendall2]

"Whoa! Almost ran over Kissinger! I'm gonna have to go back."

[@FNGLHR]

Why don't they look?

[@joshporter5205]

Inquiring Charles Bronsons want to know!

[@Blyndtyger76]

Our cousin looks like this guy, I always think about this short.

[@christieperry4361]

"Bronson's" plural. Cause one Bronson is never enough.
