I believe you’re referring to “Agent from H.A.R.M.”, season 8. ---

Best one for me has been mentioned, but it’s still **Mitchell**. Mitchell running down a hill waving at a helicopter: “Taxi!” “Touchdown!” “You can’t grow steaks.” ---

> [@jsc1953](#): > > I believe you’re referring to “Agent from H.A.R.M.”, season 8. “Agent From H.A.R.M.” never gets much attention, but it’s actually a total riot. The judo range, the big thumbed girl, and the utterly smarmy lead totally blow me away. I loved the moment when he holds up the swim trunks as Crow says, “Oh, you lucky, lucky shorts.” ---

The Corey Wendel reference reminded me that ol CW was in “Rear Window” as a detective. My roomie and I spent every second that he was onscreen in that flick making H.A.R.M. jokes. Does anyone else carry their MST knowledge over to “real” movies? ---

I often will give a movie the MST3K treatment, but will try to restrain myself if I’m around someone who I know doesn’t like that sort of thing. The Last Starfighter and the Dark Crystal were the two most recent recipients of the treatment… But MST3K _knowledge_ - sure, but rarely. I saw the early 80’s treatment of Tarzan once, and it has John Philip Law, AKA ‘Kalgon’ AND ‘Diabolik’. ---

> [@Wolfian](#): > > Something I realized re-watching the Dog and Bear scene: Crow never gives a reason in his narrative as to why he was upside down. What the hell was Servo doing in his “[taking] it too far?” It’s been a while since I saw that show, so this is from memory. Wasn’t Crow hanging upside down from the rafters? Or maybe they were playing “in the trees”?. I assume this is how Crow ended up after their rough play, which we didn’t actually see. We only arrive after the fight is over. I think the “taking it too far” remark is meant to be funny — funny for us, not for poor Crow. He’s already described a horrific, if imagined, experience, and it’s funny to think that Servo could have taken things _even further_ than they’d already gone. After your entrails have been ripped out, what’s left? Wasn’t that already “too far”? _But no,_ there was more, apparently. ---

What the hell was Servo doing in his “[taking] it too far?” I figured Servo had hung Crow like a carcass in a meat locker. But then I have a vivid imagination. Now I’m off to watch _Sliders_ in my room. If anyone else shows up, just, y’know, send 'em on back my way. ---

I watched “The Viking Women and the title that drags on and on and doesn’t seem to end” yesterday and I have one question regarding “The Home Economics Story”. Does one of the 'Bots say “Hi, Opal!” during the short when one of the girls walks out of her room or was it just the ghost of SDMB playing mind tricks on me? Tonight, it’s “Cave Dwellers” time. From the way you described it, I think I have a nice evening in front of me. ---

Does one of the 'Bots say “Hi, Opal!” during the short when one of the girls walks out of her room or was it just the ghost of SDMB playing mind tricks on me? Yeah, my head almost exploded when I heard that. The most likely explanation - I did ask on the board - is that it’s just a really freaky coincidence. ---

It depends on how you define a “real” movie. If you mean any film without the MST treatment, the answer is “of course”! Every time I watch a Godzilla movie, I can’t resist. In fact, my BF in HS and I were doing it long before MST. It was a long time ago, so I don’t remember most of our jokes, but one always stood out for me. It’s from the original “Ghidrah”:VILLAIN(sabotaging the machinery to kill the “space princess”: “We’re going to let them do the job for us!” US:“Gee boss, I didn’t know you was a mechanic!” BTW, howcum MST did four Gamera films and only 2 Godzillas? ---

I _am_ really neat. For MST3K-related nuggets of information, I recommend folks try [tvtome.com](http://tvtome.com) or [imdb.com](http://imdb.com); the DVDs are released through the Rhino company; and of course, there’s the “official” website of the Info Club. [http://www.mst3kinfo.com](http://www.mst3kinfo.com) Hopefully I’ll have a capsule of #1.03 for you all tomorrow.
