MST3K #602: Invasion USA [Part 9]

[radioblueheart]

So the moral of this film is always be prepared to turn your factory over to the government for war production.

The only way to beat socialism is to embrace it fully and truly!

If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em!

[Snazz15]

So, the guys great plan to prevent an invasion of the U.S. and an atomic war is to hypnotize a rancher, a tractor factory owner, a random congressman, a reporter and a cheating girlfriend?

[snakes3425]

Senator: Gentelmen the enemy is attempting to sieze the seat of government, we are surrounded

no please not the Congressmen please stop

[thefaboloussob]

5:50 1. "Hey, were we having sex?" 2. "Hey, did we get hitched?" "Well, we did fly to San Francisco."

[thefaboloussob]

1. Get ready 2 limit your families to 1 kid maximum! (W8; wrong Communist nation)

2. 5:10 "Mad Men"'s on! (if they put Betty Draper in the opening instead) What? Twas all dreamt or imagined? What a gyp! (No offense 2 one of the robots.)

[thefaboloussob]

"The USSR has invaded & annexed 49 states."

"Forty-nine?"

"They've spared New Jersey."

"Those merciless bastards!"

[ChaoticYak]

Yakov Smirnov! Nooooo!

[uruseiranma]

I can imagine if this film was made today: you'd have the hypnotist making everyone think about global warming.

Plus, I hate it when people are that smug like that hypnotizing so-and-so.

[pretorious700]

Russian on the radio sounds like Bela Lugosi.....SLEEEEEEEEEEP!

[ZapAndTroy44]

So the moral of the story is, do not reduce the size of our army.

[pretorious700]

@ZapAndTroy44 Don't build tractors, build tanks...this film is such a sack of BS.

[Wafflepudding]

@pretorious700 Ironically that's more or less why the soviet union imploded so fast. Lotta ammunition, not nearly enough toiler paper.

[notjustanotherface]

If you look real carefully, you can see a young J. D. Hogg in this movie.

[sweethen]

so 5 random people can change the entire course of nuclear war? or is hypno guy going to go around to all the bars in New York and do the same thing over and over again?

[Reelbigearth]

I feel sorry for the guy who was looking for all that stock footage;

" Well Guys, Got all the film you ne-...

What's that? You mean at the end all of it is a dream? IVE SPEND DAYS LOOKING FOR THESE FILMS JUST SO YOU COULD SAY 'hey it was a dream'!"

[disradiance]

A DREAM! that type of ending is next to unusable

[melodyssong4916]

1:56

Did her eye just fall out or something?

[ClvrNmsSux]

Take the wealth from the speculators!!! Those bastards, I love my inflated gas prices!

[ShadesofScorpius]

Yay! They shot the mainstream media! About time, too.

OH NOES! He lives!

OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.... This was all a dream? I'm going to be sick.

What a rollercoaster of a movie. All downhill.

[Gomess]

"I saw high school boys attack enemy tanks with pop bottles full of gasoline."

God bless the USA!

[Wafflepudding]

@Gomess WOLVERINEEES!!!

[DAJ01]

Ha! Fooled you, there was no movie!

[Dragmack]

he's speaking into his Emmy!

[whoisdickieschnabel]

the whole senate riff launches tears...

[Gmmof]

Man, I just can't get over how dislikable that fucking anchorman is.

[livinintwilightzone]

oh kaaaaay....

[MattFoleyMotivation]

They should have listened to Senator Joe McCarthy.

[Damaris1034]

Man...that was an epic cop out at the end...absolutely epic.

[vampirehunterme]

just like "the village"

[Ironman1o1]

Mass Hypnotism, an effective way to spread propaganda it seems.

[Ironman1o1]

For a propaganda film, they make the US sure damn impotent to defend itself. You think they would make the Good old US a bit stronger.

[robbietherobot01]

hello everyone you know you only rent cognac

[antistrunt]

Try to reduce defense spending, will you congressman?

Then you get to DIE, JOE!

A lesson to remember.

[faustinesea]

"That's happened so many times to that guy..."

If Russia took over, would vodka be cheaper? 'Cause that'd be great!

[EternalGuardian07]

"Gentlemen, they've invaded New York."

M&tB: NEW YORK CITEH!!!

[Capng123]

In the ultra-conservative, conformist, paranoid 1950s? Surely you jest!

[mappybastard]

So kill anyone who doesent follow the Cub's schedule?

People's Republic of America!

[sokarsfleet]

WOLVERINES!!!!

[jrmarre]

so this was nothing but a cheesey propaganda film?

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

Hey, bartender, there's a woman in my drink!

[EternalGuardian07]

"He was not only wrong, he's dead."

Damn, I'm suprised that came from the movie instead of a riff.

[GoblinXXX]

So, was Mr. Omen really Carlo Rambaldi or the Great Vorelli?

[TitenSxull]

"Look, you're getting on that Russian"

Like those shots wouldn't have gone through both of them

"DOROTHY!"

[thedarkpoets]

"i'm on the air baby"

lolololol

[SpaceG]

America was eradicated by stock footage rather quickly.

[GoblinXXX]

There's no effective defense against stock footage.

[ericfuchs123]

This movie convinced changed me. I'm a different man now. This is a crossroads in my life. I'm all for the program: let's have the Soviet Union invade today!

[pretorious700]

@ericfuchs123 Uh, Soviet Union hasn't existed for some time now. We have new improved boogeymen.

[popecorkyI]

hey, it's Onslow from 'Keeping Up Appearances".

[MattsterG]

Lame!

I've seen some doozies on MST but wTf?

My favorite: stock footage of american troops training?

Soloution: russia invading in american unirorms.

Strange thing. I have the sudden urge to vote republican all of a sudden. I guess hypnotic propaganda films from the 50's still pack a punch.

[WhiteTiger225]

I'd like to see this movie remade, give it decent actors and graphics, it could be epic

[ScissorSlinger]

Sure; but, given that logic, any garbage these guys made fun of could be a good movie. Think about it: If it was done well, it wouldn't have sucked.

[WhiteTiger225]

You don't deserve to be called an mst3k fan then, Especially giving #1 to a true mst3k fan. i bet you couldnt even find the millenium falcon!

[ScissorSlinger]

What?

[WhiteTiger225]

Exactly. On mst3k, look at the set on the in between skits, you'll see the darth vader mask, millenium falcon, etc on the set walls. And any true MST3K fan knows that even the worse movies can sometimes have an awesome story that would be good for nowadays movies. And you reserve -1 for spammers only!

[ScissorSlinger]

But that's what I said. Anything done well wouldn't be on this show. Virtually any concept could be made into an o.k. movie. I think you misunderstood my first comment; I simply meant that all the movies these guys riffed were movies that were poorly executed. This version of this idea is boring as hell, with a remarkably dumb ending. But, should it be done with less filler "attack scenes" and more explanation to the story, sure, it'd be an interesting watch.

[WhiteTiger225]

Thats wtf i said.. kitten... bring me my whip!

[ScissorSlinger]

I know! I was agreeing with you from the start! O.O;;

[WhiteTiger225]

no waffles for you, i already told joel

[ScissorSlinger]

I was more of a Mike man.

[WhiteTiger225]

Mike also won't give you waffles

[ScissorSlinger]

Perhaps not, but I still agreed with you.

[WhiteTiger225]

Fine.. but this is the final waffle!

[ScissorSlinger]

Waffles aside, I think you should take back the notion that I'm not a MSTie. That kinda hurt my fandom's soul.

[WhiteTiger225]

uhp, right there, my soul was just taken

[primepm]

CATFIGHT!

[silverage59]

"Dorothy, Dorothy" should have been followed with "We're off to see the Wizard" LWOL!

[silverage59]

"bang!...Oh Vince!" "Ah Whiskey, Whiskey good!"

[THATSAWLUNEED2NO]

So it was all a dream?!?

When does Bobby Ewing pop out of the shower.

[christimacc]

AW, MAN!! All of that cheering that I did when each of them died has gone to waste. Stupid movie!

[albee1000]

4:41 - is it just me, or is the Rooskie with the rifle being a little too liberal with his shots?

[Gjeorje]

-and so, the mysterious stranger, having performed his fantastical illusion disappears into th- oh no, here he is, he just went to the loo.

[albee1000]

LOL!

[drewcifer721]

-Crow: "I call shut up!" (LMAO)

-Crow: "I'm on the air, baby."

-Mike: "There. It's Miller time."

-Tom: "1300 Me Avenue."

[TRUFFL3S]

"I call shut up!"

"He's speaking into his Emmy!"

"Red Army Cable! Open up!"

[Winboloer2]

Tom hums the Internationalle at 2:23 heh.

[garthennis]

My favorite part of this episode.

[chrisharpham]

Wooo! Deus Ex Machina!

[lollygager3664]

"Bartender, what's this lady doing in my drink?"

[bribabytt]

I think it was dumb for the hypnotist to come back in at the end at explain everything...it was a bit heavy-handed; a good, clean exit is one of the most important parts of any performer's act.

[MoJoelRizing]

"OK folks, drink up- Hallucination's over!"

"Would you mind putting on that NURSE'S OUTFIT again?"

[jeremiahjc]

"I don't recognize whatever Crow is humming. Maybe he's just mocking that overly patriotic music that so many war movies use."

Soviet national anthem.

[Winboloer2]

It's the Internationalle, right after "Oh Beautiful" lol

[SoundsmithOne]

"Hey, didn't we fly to the west coast together?"

No--shh--we didn't! No, we didn't, we didn't!!!

[haredog62]

"Enigmatic bastard, isn't he."

"You'll have to give to public television."

[changetion]

"He's not only wrong, he's dead"

"Well, I guess he won't do that again"

"Well that guy makes a lot of sense too. I'm torn between mourning my boyfriend and subscribing to Marxist dogma"

[ElveeKaye]

Everyone was HALLUCINATING?? Few movies are as insulting to the viewers' intelligence as ones that use "It was all a dream" as a way to resolve the story.

[Thesynapze]

Huh, never thought I'd say this, but that may be an even worse ending then Monster a-Go-Go.

[NUTCASE71733]

No, this one was better as there was actually a plot.

[MoJoelRizing]

"... there WAS no invasion!"

[GoblinXXX]

The astronaut was found alive-- And of normal size!

[hackpuppet]

He's so Ed Murrow. (Good reference, guys :D)

He's speaking into his Emmy, heehee.

What exactly is Crow humming here?

There, it's Miller time.

I am like 98% sure that 'Mass Hypnotism', while real, is absolutely incapable of things like this. Christ, the ending makes me so angry XD

Anyone have any clue why this episode ends so abruptly here?

[ElveeKaye]

I don't recognize whatever Crow is humming. Maybe he's just mocking that overly patriotic music that so many war movies use.

[reiterated]

America the Beautiful

[reiterated]

whoops, sorry my ears are screwy today.

[MoJoelRizing]

...then Servo starts in with "The Internationale" as the commie scum

starts blabbing into the emmy...

[femstarlight]

There's another part to watch, part 10.

[twatsuckmydick]

There, it's Miller Time.

[luckys2kul]

Tom " oh, no..... he swallowed the girl"!

[Nurdbot]

And so the Macarthy Era began!

[outmywindow]

"Sorry Bob, they're out of pineapple."

"Hi, I'm your personal Stalin representative."

"Vince and I are going to make our own tank parts."

[tacopylas]

"Bartender, what's this woman doin' in my drink?"

[Charliethetoaster]

"Everyone hide your prositutes!!!"

(fprgive my spelling)

[Naxwell]

You spelled everything right except forgive. It's actually kind of ironic.

[Charliethetoaster]

That's the definition of it I think

[sixfeetjenna]

Not to ruin your jolly ironic mood but you did spell "prostitutes" wrong as well.
