In episode 208 the poor crew on the satellite is subjected to Robert L. Lippert's Lost Continent.
An experiment with a rocket goes wrong (another couple of billion tax dollars down the drain in the name of military dominance) and a "crack" team of pilots and scientists are sent out to find it... or rather Cesar Romero (The Joker) and Hugh Beaumont (Ward in Leave it to Beaver) with posse and monkey boy.
The search leads them to an island on which they promptly choose to crash their plane leaving an unsuspecting audience to what feels like a lifetime of watching them climb a mountain (yes, you can actually feel yourself age).
Yes, we've got big time rock climbing in this one.
Be afraid!
Be VERY afraid!
When they finally make it to the top, they encounter a couple of stop-animation dinosaurs (who for some reason sound like elephants) before finally finding the rocket and the information they need.
The people behind this movie might have figured out how little actually happened in this movie up to this point, which could explain why the island suddenly and rather spontaneously decides to erupt and eventually blow up, leaving or "heroes" with the rather daunting task of rowing all the way back home... something we thankfully aren't shown (phew).
Fun fact -- the director Sam Newfield also directed I Accuse My Parents (a.k.a. LIAR, LIAR, LIAR!)
Other fun fact -- Lt. Danny Wilson was played by Chick Chandler whom you might have seen as the angel, Wilbur, in the short Once Upon A Honeymoon from MST episode 701.
Yet another fun fact -- Cesar Romero's Grandfather, José Marti, is widely known as the founding father of Cuba.
Anyway, look out for an actor with ten foot stones, mountain cows, a place crawling with goldak, an Operation Game woman complete with buzzer, the seeing of scalps, a man with his neck fused to his spine, the excitement of dying in a plane, Pong solitaire, a fine looking Mrs. Roosevelt, a celebration with guns and ammo, a native Mae West, the roping of a wild rock, a good smelling hat, a helter shelter, erupting stock footage, a dope on a rope, the smoking section of a mountain, Doug McClure, the need of a bigger cave, hell, and way, way, way too much rock climbing.
Enjoy!
