MST3K 10001 Soultaker 3/10

[radiofiendify]

This observation could be premature as I haven't seen the whole episode yet, but so far it seems that this film rips off an idea from a far superior 1960's public domain movie called Carnival Of Souls, which is well worth watching if you get the chance.

[akje93]

"hey! I really do walk the line!"

[UpSky2]

Not to indulge in a flame war - but the Best Home Video Release category of Saturn Awards was not even begun nor established until 1996. So Soultaker did not win the award category XXXX Video Release. Because that branch of the Saturn Award did not exist at the time.

I've heard it before, so this isn't a reply.

Check the Saturn Awards website for all confirmation of all above details... no need to reply. Thanks!

"The lace on my skate broke!!"

[kftc88]

Mike should just pretend to be Janeway again, he did a great job getting them out of a crisis then.

[kftc88]

So was there any explanation for the balding dude deciding to commit vehicular homicide?

[PsychoticLoner]

@kftc88

Yeah, he was coked out of his empty skull. The movie hinted he was doing it in the car when he was waiting for the Teddy Bear Band to come on the stage. The MST crew might have deleted the scene where it was shown for time or content.

Why do I always feel the urge to defend bad movies?

[kftc88]

If someone showed me a picture of the Angel of Death's face, I'd tell them that they need to practice their Photoshop skills since the photo is obviously altered.

[TyRiders2]

Man, that guy's got a small face.

[DickieAnginson]

"Natalie...?"

"Jeff Gillooly did it!"

[easyeasy506]

4:15 -"Leak Taker!" LMAO!

[KingOfUm]

So basically, as we've seen twice in the movie, Soultakers don't wait for you to die to cough up your soul, they scare the shit out of you so you do. That just doesn't seem fair.

[SinnFein4ever]

I wonder how many ballons there are in that scene...

(counts)

99 luft ballons.

[SkeletonBunny2000]

Hey hey hey hey O that took my soul right there.

[Tanyableu]

The Angel of Death looks like he got stung by a bee!

[Kwarner722]

He's Billy Idoling!

[kmick101]

Between the balding rocker dude and "Chad McFeatheredhair", this movie should have been called "Peaked in high school". They remind me of every ass-wad I went to high school with. Guys who went on to a lucrative career of changing oil filters at Jiffy-Lube.

[montyburns9999]

@kmick101 lololol... well said

[thetallguy5192]

"Man, that guy has a small face!"

[SithLordDumbledore]

"Sorry, love is lifting me up where I belong!"

[SmokingSpoon]

Ouch ouch, oh oh it's hot !!

[Onlinepoetrycafe]

"Oh no.. balloons.... I hate balloons... trees.. convertible cars... ohno I'm overwhelmed."

Seriously, what kinda direction do some of these scenes take!? lol!

[AstralPixie]

"Now just the Mennonites"

"Sorry I can't drive 55"

[Kinemacolor]

I love all the rockin' in this movie.

[modchic720]

"I'm in no hurry, man."

"I'm simply rockin."

[gussiejives]

"Sorry, I can't drive 55."

[FuzzboxVoodoo94]

Where's David Byrne's head?

[NorwichTeenwolf]

Didn't the Final Destination films rip-off the 'plot' of this 'movie'?

[jjordan89481]

@NorwichTeenwolf Not if they did a better job.

[DickieAnginson]

@NorwichTeenwolf You're thinking of "Soul Survivors" starring Wes Bentley and Eliza Dushku from 2001. It's the exact same plot - a bunch of kids "survive" a car accident, weird things start happening, etc. I'm surprised Vivian Schilling didn't sue. On her IMDb page there's a photo of her and Arnold Schwarzenegger at the sci-fi Saturn Awards in 1994. Her film "Soultaker" won Best Picture. Ha!

[UpSky2]

@DickieAnginson Bosh. We have heard that one before. If you examine the website for (Google it) The Saturn Awards Winners Past you will find that the only movie listed with SOUL in its title was Hearts And Souls 1993, and the only movie with TAKE in it is Steven Spielberg Presents Taken 2002. No SOULTAKER. None!

It did not win the Saturn Award. (...Perhaps it was nominated...)

[DickieAnginson]

@UpSky2 - Sorry! It did win a Saturn. According to IMDb - a reliable source - "Soultaker" won the 1992 Saturn for "Best Genre Video Release." The film was released straight to video, so it won in that category. The Award was for best horror video release. So, it did win a "best" award. (I got the year wrong, it was 1992 not 1994.)

See imdb.com/title/tt0100665/award­s

"She's with her John?!?!"

[joeb7771]

"I hope they didn't hurt their tight pants point hardly renown."

[DAVIDInitiative]

"Sorry, love is lifting me up where I belong."

"Well, we did date for 5 years and just break up 2 weeks ago." LOL

"He's flashing back to other people's memories!"

"This man's recently been rocking!"

[dcbandnerd]

Does this bug you? I'm not touching you!

[corechil]

That's not the actor's real face right... that's a mask or make-up or something... right??? Please???

[QueenB2323]

@corechil No,that really is his face (yikes). His name is Robert Z'Dar,and he is known as 'the face',for obvious reasons,lol

[mariechaton]

Soultaker is easily 1 of the top 5 Msty eps.....EVERY line is 100% brilliant! The Library of Congress should archive it.

[pretorious700]

yes indeed, the difference between this movie and a bag of vomit is the bag.

[bassplace88]

We got thrown from the car in an equidistant fashion. lol

[epicfail2929]

SAVE THE BALLON

[mst3KGf]

"Well, it's noon. Summerfest is over."

"Hi, I'm a tree. Just thought I'd put in a good word for nature since the camera's pointed at me."

"Hey, I really DO walk the line!"

"Leaktaker."

"Idiot! Didn't you see the 'Warning: Joe Estevez Crossing' sign?"

"I'm going to take her soul and her Garfield keychain."

"Does this bug you? I'm not touching you."

"This is what happens when death is run by low level bureaucrats."

[Gigrantula58]

Her soul has a refreshing mint flavor.

[yoko174]

Who would have thought that being a soul reaper means permission to cause "death." Aren't they suppose to just guide souls to the after life? Oh well.....

[Dipstikk]

Leaktaker.

[PyrozPlayground]

Oh no balloons, I hate balloons! Trees! Convertible cars! Oh no, I'm overwhelmed!

LOL

[loverboyz901]

There are so many ballons, it kind of reminds me of the movie It

[Izekial56]

"Something, I don't know, maybe a cucumber..."

[notundercovercop327]

"Sorry, Love is lifting me up where I belong." When I Fall in love I am so saying that.

[montyburns9999]

@notundercovercop327 Did you get that that is a reference to the end of An Officer and a Gentleman"?

[notundercovercop327]

@montyburns9999 How could I not, Lou Gosset Jr. in his most famous only role.

[montyburns9999]

@notundercovercop327 Wow... I never thought of that till you just said it. His only other role I can think of was "Iron Eagle I, II, III, IV, etc." and those movies pined for the MST3K treatment. If it wasn't for Officer and a Gentleman I guess I wouldn't even know who he is.

[Spameggssausage]

Mike you're not on Star Trek

[gspendlove]

Coming Soon: "Mask II" Starring Robert Z'Dar as Rocky Dennis.

[cleanhomer]

"Reba McEntire"!

I LOVE Reba McEntire, but I still love the joke!! LOL!!

[BlueEyes7452]

She's with her John?!?!

[annamariah]

I hope they didn't hurt their tight pants, points, hardly renowned.

[InterEDGE]

her soul has a refreshing mint flavor!

THRILLERRR!

[FullMetalBlackass]

Well it's noon. Summerfest is over.

[HubertHoratio]

LEAKTAKER

[Nagneto]

@HubertHoratio : Bruce Leaktaker, Slab Squat-Thrust, Roll Fizzlebeef....

[ChaoticYak]

Uh... Carry on. I'll been in my ready room.

[colorock07]

gah, i need a separate tab open at all times to find who these guys are referencing half the time.

[montyburns9999]

@colorock07 no kidding man

[woodchipperfaceplant]

Robert Z'dar is one weird son of a bitch.

[Servocaster]

When the car hit the tree,did slimer from Ghostbusters fly out?

[ErinIsPunk]

"Hi folks! You may be wondering if I'm Martin Sheen." LOL, best line so far

[wilhelm1974]

Leaktaker!

[CarolinaOcelot]

Leaktaker.

[Dulcimerist]

Oh no!  It's Kathy Griffin!

[VanillaSwirlsOfDoom]

"Hi folks, you may be wondering if I'm Martin Sheen. I'm not. Turns out I'm his vastly more talented, yet less appreciated brother. Thank you."

[LazyEyeProductions64]

WHY IS MICHEAL JACKSON IN THIS WELL BEFORE HE CUT HIS NOSE OFF

[jamesdomus]

"Didn't you see that 'Warning: Joe Esteves Crossing' sign?"

[HerrSchenkel]

I just found out that John Z'dar is NOT wearing anything to make his face bigger.

[00madbox00]

man natalie has a crappy friend. i mean she leaves natalie there to get laid by some army boyfriend that just showed up out of the woods. wow i can make things sound terrible hahaha

[eits1986]

@00madbox00

Ahem... that guy is clearly navy... gosh!

[ChaoticYak]

He's Billy-Idoling!

[textthing]

"He's flashing back to other people's memories." It's surprising how many movies make that basic mistake.

[lolwut3k]

"I hope we were thrown violently out of the movie!"

[Enumclaw]

'Just get in the car.'

I love Servo's frustration there.

[BlackNoir]

Hi. I'm a tree.

[ChaoticYak]

So was Werewolf or Soultaker made first? Because Joe Estevez either lost a lot of weight or gained a lot of weight between the two films. ...or maybe black is just very slimming.

Hi! I'm a tree. I just want put in a good word or two for nature since the camera's on me. Thanks for your time.

[coralinefj]

@ChaoticYak Soultaker was first because it came out in 1990 and Werewolf came out in 1994 so he gained a lot of weight.

[ChaoticYak]

@coralinefj Ah, thanks! I suppose I could have looked it up myself. :)

[Twosidedtape]

6:05 "Wait a minute, where's my balloon?"

More jokes about the balloon..

[montyburns9999]

@Twosidedtape My favorite is Crow yelling, "OK, just shove the irony down our throats movie!" when the smiley face balloon is on-screen.

[Twosidedtape]

4:42 And a follow up from part 2.

"Save the Balloon!"

Hahaha, why is the balloon funny? I have no clue, but it makes me laugh.

[montyburns9999]

Karen!!!!

Sorry! Love is lifting me up where I belong!!!

Took me a few times to get that one. A reference to the end of "OFFICER AND A GENTLE MAN" Brilliant.

[Atrum]

Wow, its the virtual drunk idiot game!

[montyburns9999]

I'm Simply Rocking!

[anthony311420]

[koopakilla89]

That car did the speeder bike chase from Star Wars and exploded Gatorade

[mothglitter]

"Jeff Gillooly did it!" I'm digging the Tonya Harding references.

[ComradeZaitsev]

There. I've broken the hex field.

[PKemmerich]

What is that THING Emilio Estivez is talking to???

[toomanyaccounts]

@PKemmerich

Robert Z'Dar Aka The Chin.

Yes that is his real face, no he didn't have a moon pie replace his jaw bone.

[PKemmerich]

@toomanyaccounts

Oh. I'll not ask for a bite, then.

[RoscoBrittin]

look I'm not proud of this but Gypsy makes me horny.whats the deal with that?

[WizzyBoy520]

@RoscoBrittin Gypsy is actually the transvestite Drew Pickles in a robot costume.

[RoscoBrittin]

@WizzyBoy520 (ahem)thanks for that thought,gonna tell the boss I'm going to be 10 mins late for work.lol

[CCNuck]

I love the creation of the Amish band.

Crow: Something, I dunno, maybe a cucumber...

[LilyPhoenix333]

Hi. I'm a tree.

I hope we were thrown violently out of the movie.

[corle1]

"This man has recently been rockin'" Far out.

[M0VIES4U2]

To those of you who want to watch the Host Segment, and skip the stupid movie, it's at 6:25.

[RavnDream]

"Man, that guy's got a small face!"

"Oh, it's the Virtual Drunk Idiot game!"

"Flashing back to other people's memories!"

"I hope we was thrown violently out of the movie!" ... "DAMN!"

[mediageneration65]

That jar makes me sick like fatally sick

[Donionbubs]

That airs out my armpits! That line cracks me up no matter how many times I listen to it.

[haybeav]

"Save the Balloon!!!"

[snikt2k10]

So, back in the eighties, women were swooned off their feet by greasy unappealing beefy jerks, with bad hair.

Sounds alot like todays women, come to think of it...

[crazycat58]

My fav part is the "Man that guy has a small face!" I can watch it over and over again and still laugh my ass off!!

[TheInvalidman]

"Thriller!"

[maestro1286]

"Can you work for me on Thursday?"

[sjrr5545]

The "leaktaker" crack at 4:14 kills me.

[tagginos]

I love Crow's Little Feat references.

[PyrozPlayground]

Hopefully he was thrown violently out of the movie. lol

[godbluffvdgg]

" We all seem to be unhurt, WAIT, MY BALLOON!

The blond haired dude, waaaay needs some puca shells to complete his ensemble

[Kinemacolour]

"The lace on my skate broke!"

[hitbya2x4]

OH MY GOD!!! The weird overinflated lesbian looking blond guy is the slave master android thing from "FUTURE WAR", another horrible movie ripped by MST3k!

[RebelamongSaints]

"Y'all yelling" - Number one reason for car crashes nation wide.

[killersushi88]

0:06 What is wrong with that blonde guy's face?!

[ScorpiusRaven]

it's a catcher's mitt

[jsalberg]

@killersushi88 Allergic reaction to Estevez's eyeliner.

[AuburnRed1]

It would be nice if Candace AKA the meaningless redheaded woman had a line or two of dialogue, but considering the rest of the film, she should be grateful.

"Sorry love is lifting me up where I belong."

"He's Billy Idoling. "

"Hi folks, you may be wondering if I'm Martin Sheen, well I'm not turns out I'm his more talented and vastly underappreciated brother. Thank you."

"Hi, I'm a tree. Just wanted to put a word or two about nature since the camera's on me. Thank you."

[joemomma46]

"But she's upper middle class and we're slightly lower middle!"

"I hope we were thrown violently out of the movie."

Oh no , it's Kathy Griffin

[AbeSapien4]

Thriller! lol

[javenetti]

heeeeeeyyyy, you can clearly see the guy breathing when they show the bodies

[REVERENDPHAM]

My goodness, this movie is so cornballed; those two "soultakers" looked so stoned in their membranes...I do not blame MSTXXIII one single ounce for poking fun at it!!!

[solemfero]

I think you need to review your roman numerals. 'Mystery Science Theater 23?'

[ScorpiusRaven]

copyright 1462??

[UpSky2]

I just love how Blonde BadDriver says, 6:09 f: "CANNES!" - as if! this would be seen anywhere NEAR there... :-P

8:27 f Uh - I think you're supposed to use a defibrillator paddle for that, not just your hand!

8:48 Unfortunately for the "dramatic point", Joe E. looks disturbed and perturbed all the time in this role anyway... so it doesn't really mean much when you see him look that way here...

[AuburnRed1]

@UpSky2

I think he said Candace! I believe that's the meaningless red-headed woman's name. :D

[modchic720]

"JEFF GILLOOLY DID IT!"

[CanadianPeanutbuter]

Isn't the big faced guy also the robot in Future Wars or are there really THAT many big chinned B-movie actors?

[enochmamon]

That is Robert Z'Dar and yes, he is in both of those movies.

[venicequeen34]

"Can you work for me on Thursday?"

LOL!

This movie makes "The Screaming Skull" look like a masterpiece...

Hahahaha, seriously. .

[RedxxNeptune]

"Leaktaker" one of my favorite parts in the entire movie.

[eric1love]

ooohhhh Roland voice module! LMAO

[locustsymphony]

I wonder why this movie was nominated for a Saturn Award?... It's pretty bad...

[Reelbigearth]

eh, it's not that bad for a first time :p.

Then again, my first fictional writting piece about a time traveling duck would be better wouldn't it?

[ShyriaDracnoir]

Depends on the execution. Plenty of MST3K films have somewhat decent premises; the crap comes in the execution (dialoge, effects, ect).

[NUTCASE71733]

Yeah, Final Sacrifice, It Conquered the World, and even Manos had somewhat ok plots. But we know how they ended up.

[AncelDeLambert]

Souls, good enough for Fabio. And chocked full of calories, apparently.

[baronvg]

3:05 Seriously, Joe looks JUST LIKE EMILIO here!

[tnadrg1982]
