The Film Crew (MST3K) - Giant of Marathon

[hollyhuffstutler]

Clearly the 300 of its day, just with more emphasis on biceps and legs than abs.

...oh and I guess the stories are similar too

[Staszu13]

The caption read, "Phillipedes, alas, wast stricken of his victory when it wast discovered that he hath used, without consent of the Gods, that which mortals called 'anabolic steroids' to achieve his victory. So shamed and shunned by all men, Phillipedes wandered the Earth for all his remaining years, unable to enter the Hall of Fame."

Thanks!

Joel was the best. I was so pissed when he stepped down.

[Tareltonlives]

The sad thing is that it's STILL better than 300.

[Staszu13]

Only the SciFi channel years after Joel.

[atomsmasha]

Simply annoying beyond belief. This is such an unintentionally funny movie - without the wise-cracks.

[NUTCASE71733]

No one would watch it otherwise. The comments are nessesary.

[fatorson1]

There are four of these Film Crew DVDs out there,if youre a MSt3k fan check them out,their BRILLIANT just as funny as MST3k,plus they have Mike Nelson who I thought was the best of the two presenters,even though Joel

Hodgson created the show.

[b0ssh0gg]

brilliant..? not quite. i love MST3K, and this show doesnt come anywhere near it. a few of the riffs are funny, but not near enough to be calling it brilliant....

[jeffeastwood15]

Will someone PLEASE upload the whole movie? PLEASE!

[Tuber77]

I dont have anything against mike and the gang doing this movie. But i think that out of all the movies that they are going to do. I think Giant of Marathon is one of the more watchable by itself. If for nothing eles then for its cheesiness. Plus if anyone dose want to watch the movie. Somebody has already posted it. Either way its got to be better then Rifftrax has been.

[mrgb46]

The Film Crew or Rifftrax or MST3K making fun of a movie is like Weird Al doing a parody of someone's song.

[805simply]

yea except for mst3k is funny.

[vanadium77]

Looks freakin' hilarious!

[DarkRider69]

For every movie MST, Rifftrax and Film Crew have ever done, there's somebody out there whining about its place as a "film classic." Get over it.

Were you proselytizing for this movie BEFORE this version?

[denberg2]

Yes, yes and yes again! It is wonderful. Why don't you just watch it in the original, instead of mindless rubbish like MST3K?

[mrgb46]

MST3K was never rubbish.Just because you take this movie soooo seriously,then don't worry about what The Film Crew will do to it,ok?? If you're not going to buy it,then why whine about it??

[NUTCASE71733]

get bent

[denberg2]

I can't lighten up! Steve Reeves made the greatest films in the history of cinema and these arseholes are taking the piss out of him and you're contradicting me!

[BlackNRA]

Stop crying you little BITCH! The MST version is coming if you like it or not. Go back to watching Crossroads or Spice World.

[denberg2]

I have never watched Crossroads or Spice World. Have you ever watched THE GIANT OF MARATHON?

[mrgb46]

Steve Reeves was also in Jailbait made by Ed Wood,so does that count as "the greatest film in the history in cinema"?? We shouldn't make fun of that either??

[plastique45]

Steve Reeves made the greatest films? First of all he didn't MAKE any films, he STARRED in them, being an actor, not a director. Second, he's a terrible grade Z actor who starred in ridiculous productions such as Giant of Marathon, go watch real movies like Lawrence of Arabia, 2001, Godfather, Taxi Driver or Vertigo before you make such hilarious claims.

[b0ssh0gg]

yea, he "starred" in this and the other 2 MST3K classics:

Hercules Unchained

Hercules vs. The Moon Men

now dont those just SOUND like complete shit? well they are!!!!!!!

[feverdeanmg]

LMAO!

[mrgb46]

I don't care if this movie is good,but it does look like your typical Hercules movie..cheesy,but fun.MST3K was never shit,by the way.Alot of bad or cheesy movies need to be made fun of,so lighten up!

[denberg2]

"Cheesy" means cheap. GIANT OF MARATHON wasn't cheap! It had a cast of thousands!

[mrgb46]

So did Waterworld..

[reddyredd]

Heh Heh, I was about to type 'Waterworld cost a freakin' 180 million bucks.' Guess I just did.

[b0ssh0gg]

lol every post you've made makes you look dumber and dumber....

cheesy doesnt mean cheap. they could have spent as much money as they wanted on it, but since it still SUCKS its still cheesy...

[denberg2]

I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want to watch this FILM CREW film without having watched the original GIANT OF MARATHON first. And if it was as bad as the FILM CREW claim, why would you want to watch them spoof it?

[tonyscare]

because i and a lot of people find them funny. no one cares if you like the original.

[denberg2]

I don't mean to sound like a party pooper, but why don't people just watch the original instead of shit like MST3K. The original is actually a very good film.

[femstarlight]

How good it is isn't the issue. Mike Nelson did a'rifftrax' of The Fellowship of the Ring, but most of the MST3K writers LIKE the Lord of the Rings series. A sense of humor makes life easier.
