MST3K: Master Ninja II (FULL MOVIE)

[@Fluffkitscripts]

“there was no master ninja in this movie!” I hear you all cry. But consider- this is a MASTER ninja we’re talking about! Naturally, they’d be so skilled in the art of concealment that their part in this movie is utterly imperceptible!

[@jerkychew899]

"Did you double security like I asked?" "Yes, I gave everyone two guns" - Possibly the best MST3K joke ever.

[@MrU4theChillWind]

Van Cleef and Van Patten. In a van. It's *_vantastic_*.

[@thestraydog]

Oh this hurts in the best way...!

[@TeekiesPlace]

I didn't e-van notice till you mentioned it. BTW, inside Van and Van's van there's a painting by...wait for it...Vincent VAN Gogh.

[@benrichardson5662]

Oh my goodness you're right. This show just got 50% better.

[@vetterburns1048]

...In a VAN down BY the RIVER!!!

[@ericcantwell5582]

I think most old men carry around a ninja costume with some tools and weapons wherever they go. Once you are over the age of about 65, these kinds of things come in handy surprisingly often.

[@AdamWestish]

I agree, it's so much more sensible that this just naturally occurs, as one descends into vanside Slavic rodent handling

[@andymackie8283]

How else would we get you off our lawns?

[@needinput9805]

I just carry around a bottle of Liquid A$$

[@winonafrog]

😅

[@JacobiusNH80]

Does anyone else laugh hard when Tom screams as they are moving that worker who got crushed by that pallet of stuff? Every time I watch it and hear it, I laugh hard. LOL Also, Crow's Crypt Keeper is a riot lol

[@MiqelDotCom]

YES! That's a really great scream. Sounds like actual leg-crushing agony.

[@BeetsBeetsBeetsBeets]

i did just now

[@fatboyoficiale]

In reference to 18:42

[@3VILmonkey]

Are you DIGGING this theme?

[@prayforjonas]

😂😂😂

[@CureOptimismForHumanity]

A movie called "Master Ninja II" is actually just about some kid with a speech impediment and his grandpa trying to solve union problems at a cannery.

[@daviddrouant2852]

and a hamster

[@SwampRainbow01]

A cannery by the docks in a dirt biking town...

[@aeonthemagus7841]

Hes from new jewsey

[@AdamWestish]

The Dutch ninja always lives in a desert fishing port, especially if he's into gerbils.

[@zombie..]

A tale as old as time.

[@smaakjeks]

Oh, MST3K, you magnificent creatures! I have tomorrow off, I have a bunch of beers, and now I have this episode to enjoy! The stars are aligned for me today!

[@Sarzski]

I'm so glad to have MST3K on the youtube platform. Also the plant boss who is robust looks like Jim Gaffigan ate his way out of a vat of pudding.

[@josephnotoempire2949]

That's just hurtful.

[@vladnefarious]

the "ninja" looks like if Master Splinter was mutated into an old white man...and stopped half way

[@satanofficial3902]

The preferred term nowadays is "melanin-challenged" instead of "white". Thank you for your cooperation.

[@squallsrapture]

After the WILDLY abrupt leap from one part of the "movie" to the next I'm staring at the new girl Alisha like "good grief I know this girl" And it hits me. The non-psychic from the beginning of Ghostbusters.

[@calebtate4994]

🤯🤯🤯

[@DamienCooley]

I think you mean the obviously psychic girl from Ghostbusters.

[@johnbryant6049]

What a lot of people don’t know is that Master Ninja Two is actually The Good, The Bad and The Ugly III.

[@demons27]

57:52 RIP to David McCallum

[@jabelltulsa]

"Listen Lady!" "Doctor" "Doctor Lady" ... ooops, wrong movie

[@mah7961]

Its not your fault that you’re a chunk head.

[@antony716]

So, in the first one, Lee said that after the war he was in Japan with a ticket home and no where to go. Here he said that on VJ day he was at a dance in Hawaii. I'm starting to doubt that he's even a ninja, let alone a master ninja

[@greysonfauchard601]

41:26: Lee comments "Most people don't cover there tracks as well as they think they do." Joel's response, "They should wear long sleeve shirts" is a reference to "tracks" as the marks left behind from drug addicts repeatedly injecting themselves.

Holy shit I can't believe I missed that! Sorry for the 3 year response tho lol

[@delta-9969]

Thank you for your detailed explanation

[@crowt.robot.6199]

obviously

[@liamk.6389]

Its kinda depressing how far americas fallen that union organizing could be a valid plot for a d-tier movie and be treated as an unquestioned good while now every damn movie is about how hot and cool CEOs are.

[@Halderic]

"Still seeing that gerbil?" I laughed so hard at that back in the glorious 90's. (it's still funny)

[@cneterer]

"Go, Charlie Brown! Go!" Jeez, I'm old enough that that was hilarious.

[@sleepyhollow783]

Had the "Manos": The Hands of Fate show been done earlier, can one imagine the fun the MST writers could have had with all "The Master" references out of both Master Ninja 1 & 2?

[@GeneSavage]

Thank you, Shout Factory, for sharing this funny episode in great quality! You really are appreciated.

[@mannaizz8175]

In quarantine I've rediscovered how great this show was. And my hair looks like Dr Forresers

[@mannaizz8175]

Forresters

[@thejoshbivens]

"Ah, this is my elderly gentleman friend."

[@AdamWestish]

"I lost my hand in a fish chopper."

[@QueenGene]

It took me 3 days to watch all three episodes of Master Ninja II!

[@domscards]

This movie is better than I thought it would be judging by the title.

[@KarstensCreationsKC]

The short but brilliant 'General Timothy Van Patton' sketch busts me up every time... "Now, I want you to remember...that no babester ebbeh wub a wuh by dibbu fu hib cubiny ..."

[@Mrssilverqueen]

Its the echoey horn noise for me.

[@Luke-PlanesTrainsDogsnCars]

Master Ninja II An update to our original food processor with more power.

[@michaelgryboski1]

"Remember when you used to get good work, Dave?" To be fair, this episode ran before NCIS debuted, so little did Tom Servo know ...

[@Zehn-X]

"Edward James Olmos" "Almost."

[@kimsleep4111]

Ahh the 80's...the time where Hamster co-stars ruled the Big Screen!

[@courtneywoodbury5198]

7:57 The Blue Man Group does perform in groups of 3, but there are more than 3 people who play them.

[@TheZigzagman]

Whenever one drops from overexertion they pull another one out of the tank.

[@Alkonium]

I find it funny how George Lazenby plays a character named Mallory, which is also the name of the M played by Ralph Fiennes in the actual James Bond films.

[@williammatthews693]

So this is the origin story of Helen from "Wings"?

[@nonnobissolum]

"Be careful! I'm wealthy!" Oh dear lord is there anything more reliably hilarious than the MST3k crew(s)....

[@BingGeaux]

@42:02 - so the motor-head throws the grappler and climbs up, to break in and go down to ground level=or=to basement level where he encounters all two security guards on duty. meanwhile , ninja master enters the building by stealth and is in the guard's office after they all leave to get beat up and knocked out by the motor-head.

[@BingGeaux]

@53:31 - this must be what this girl was doing after finishing at Columbia University studying under Dr. Venkman. this movie and that must've been her shoots for the day...same sweater in both - or - lucky sweater.. cool to see her in something else.

[@hexfield]

9:00 "Make big money at home" Is a reference to infomercials. Specifically the Sally Struthers one I think.

[@pwatersnh]

Missed Reference @ 1:24:56 "Hey, the Average White Band's up there." Average White Band was a 70s rock/funk band led by saxophonist Roger Ball

[@dannydinosaur73]

1:14:27 "Wait, I thought he turned that light off." LMAO

[@qdHazen]

46:32 - Putting your coats on the top peg is a paraphrase of a part in "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life" where a boarding school teacher (played by John Cleese) gives his students a series of incredibly complicated instructions before beginning his sex-ed lessons. 1:24:56 - The Average White Band is a Scottish funk band whose most famous song is the saxophone-heavy near-instrumental "Pick Up the Pieces."

[@SeanFromKink]

To quote J. Elvis from "East Meets Watts": I haven't seen Kung Fu action like this since housekeeping found David Carradine.

[@colosal30]

Guys, annotations disappear too fast, at least for me. Thanks by the way for adding context to your comments. You are the best.

[@chandrakas]

Hah man, the opening skit in this takes me back. I used to to improv theater in school as a kid, and we'd do the thing where you'd try and get the audience to give you 3 things you had to incorporate into the skit.

[@charlesadams41]

1:29:35-ish..."We crashed the gate doing 28 (or even aught-8 or zero-8)"...from C.W. McCall's "Convoy", 1975; Original lyrics "crashed the gate doing 98"...with all three chiming in with "we got a one-truck convoy"

[@1daddy57]

46:32 A line spoken by John Cleese in a skit in the movie "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life".

[@MrfnordTim]

47:42 "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" was a short story by Alan Sillitoe before it was a movie.

[@daviddrouant2852]

and an Iron Maiden song

[@ryanhollist3950]

At time 49:50 Tom whispers "kicks." I think he's referencing lines from the movie "Wild Rebels" (MST3K episode 0207).

[@kurtreber9813]

wow, i just saw that one before watching this one. i think ur right

[@WmJ-x7j]

Crystal Bernard was actually the standout of the movie.

[@kdohertygizbur]

YOU !!

[@lindah3954]

OK, we got George Lazenby, David McCallum, & Lee Van Cleef to commit. OH, were in! This is going to be great!. Is it going to be a throw back to those classic 1960s detective and spy TV shows? Who is going to be the lead? Timothy Van Patten and his pet hamster.

[@ryann8680]

his aunt joyce had to be sleeping with the casting director

[@jamesstranack2233]

Shag Hair, really is the most attractive person to ever appear on MST3K, and Rifftrax by a good mile.

[@aquabreeze7612]

Does it really just cut from him leaving union girl to the hang glider scene in the movie?? What tonal whiplash

[@michaeleverett2597]

17:40 My favorite Riff of this episode by far is when the Dock Worker guiding the Heavy Pallet says,"Right on my Head,That's it."

[@kdohertygizbur]

Hand, not head

[@Tolivian]

13:26 I was waiting for them to mention that Peanuts special the entire race sequence.

[@capmar-vell92returns20]

A pity they never dealt with Godfrey Ho's ninja movies.

[@nightowl685]

gosh, crystal bernard is adorable.

[@benjaminbarrera214]

Is that the same dirt race track from Sidehackers?

[@jdoylewallis2948]

Annotation: At 46:33, Joel says, "Before you put your coats on the top peg," which is a reference to the segment "Growth and Learning" from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.

[@arsaeterna4285]

0:26 literally 2020 and this is the first time I realized that Joel was already inventing silly things on earth.. is it implied that he was annoying and that's why they sent him to space? amazing

[@scapegoat8171]

28:32 Is she ordering pizza delivery...to a restaurant?

[@merlin-ju6fu]

This used to be a tv series on NBC.

[@Slam_Bus_Rodan]

32:02 "And a whole pie..." LOL

[@andreag975]

Watching this classic while baking peppernuts for Christmas: perfect!

[@Admin-qy4zi]

23:30 Tom has got the best van

[@jamesschuur2801]

Missed: 33:59 "Ol' Black Eyes is back" is a play on Sinatra's return line 'Ol' Blue Eyes in back.'

[@kokosnood]

"This is my elderly gentleman friend" LOL

[@nicholasdupont2468]

If anyone wants to see the other side of Timothy Van Pattens range watch Class of 1984. Scared the heck out of me as a kid.

[@williammiller8317]

The worst scenes at the end always slay me, this one is particularly hilarious! 🤣

[@TheSqoou]

Welcome back MST3K !!!

[@jimmykeating2029]

Thank you 🙏

[@pettifoggingpharisee]

When Disney announces they are making another Star Wars 18:48

[@kakonis]

Fun fact: In order to prepare for this role, Lee Can Cleef met with "Kung-Fu" star David Carradine, and both men practiced honing their martial arts skills by felching gerbils and practicing auto-erotic asphyxiation.

[@jayh9529]

Grasshoppers 😂

[@09rja]

@ 43:30 & 47:22 lol Kills me everytime.

[@BloodylocksBathory]

I wonder if Lee found that hamster to be a better costar than Van Patton.

[@visoredgruntR34]

Ba, Baba, ba bababaa Ba, Baba, ba bababaa Master Ninja Theme Song!

[@thomascircle245]

I don't know if you missed any references, but perhaps when you brought up Space Ghost, you should have mentioned that he interviewed Joel.

[@FanBritLit]

46:00 - 'Before you put your coats on the top peg.' - a reference to Monty Python's THE MEANING OF LIFE in which John Cleese proceeds to list a confusing list of directions for the boys in his classroom. Followed by a hilarious skit on sexual education.

[@emileeeeee5305]

Biosphere 2 jokes never fail to humor me.

[@hankidypank636]

18:45 on, in the factory oddly made me wanna watch 'Twin Peaks'

[@3VILmonkey]

Haibidakibida!

[@mechachrist]

1:14:16 a Sixfinger was a 1960's toy that looked like a finger and shot several different projectiles. Seriously. It was marketed as a spy device lol. The commercial is on KZbin... it's a must-see.

[@ninalutgen6244]

My favorite saying chasing a gazelle on a pogo stick .haha why would u lol

[@anadthebarbarian]

28:32 Could be a loose reference to Play it Again Sam where Tony Roberts is always calling somebody to let them know where he & Woody Allen are

[@sgtjonson]

I love how the Improv bit is as dead on as it was 30 years ago

[@trevor_7723]

1:19:26 Joel: Flying on the ground is wrong A reference to a kind of boring song by Neil Young of that name.

[@FeralPatrick]

1:11:46 Joel's eating what appears to be the now-extinct yet sadly-missed Jell-O Pudding Pop!

[@JoeSoul]

bro Tom Servo describing his van design has me rolling over here lmaoooo the voice

[@MrfnordTim]

18:13 The "Stan Lee" line seems like it might be more a reference to Stanley Hand Tools, the popular manufacturer of . . . well . . . hand tools than to the comic book creator - although Van Cleef did bear a passing resemblance.

[@jordangarner87]

I love this show thanks Shout Factory! Also can't wait for Kakuranger.

[@meteosurreal]

Yeah, Kakuranger's one of my favourite Sentais, there.

[@grucethebruce6099]

One of my favorite episodes

[@dr.barrycohn5461]

Lee Van Cleef? Wow...a great bad ass villain in all of his cowboy flicks. Because of all the hats, never appreciated how bald he was.

[@metalmaria26]

10:23 'The Nogoodniks' is a reference to Boris Badinov from Rocky & Bullwinkle

[@quester09]

"you didn't let me be! that potato!"

[@sccrash420]

53:17. WHAT'S THIS?!?! That had me rolling on the floor. Wow. Did we miss something!!!! hahahaha

[@SwampRainbow01]

You've got to goooo where the hamster gooooes You're a NINJA

[@aarondavis8943]

Tom and Frank Frazetta lol

[@Wildcat_93]

one annotation you missed was when they reference Ali. He did "lose" to an old lady in the ring lol

[@jonothanthrace1530]

46:32 "Before you put your coat on the top peg" is a reference to the public school segment of Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life.

[@vladnefarious]

it was private school

[@jonothanthrace1530]

Nope, it was an English "Public School," which is like an American private school.

[@praisetobuddha2]

At 46:31 "Before you put your coats on the top peg" is a reference to Monty Python's Meaning of Life.

[@ilikemorestuff]

The lead bad guy is so good he makes Lee Clambeef look like a clown
