Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Rhino's Swan Song was really good. Comment: Volume 12 marked the end of the controversial Rhino DVD release series. They released defective discs,discs that missed stingers,released movies that were unauthorized and did a double dip. But I am happy to say their last release will end on a high note..this is a great set -The Rebel Set made this set for me. I very much liked seeing this movie in MST3K mode(really hard without MST3K) and Johnny at the Fair was a funny short. I think it is an underrated episode. I love the xylophone solo at the middle of the film where the crooks(let by Edward Piatt) put their stuff "In the hole" I could watch this over and over -Secret Agent Super Dragon - A lot of people were clamoring for a Spy episode and here it is. When you are in the mood for a B movie spy non-thriller its a good viewing. Tom Servo's Secret Agent Super Dragon song is funny and Joel's invention was a hoot. - The Starfighters - Mike Nelson said it correct, this movie had more nothing than any other film. Was this a movie or documentary or what was it exactly. This has the imfamous Poopie Suit scene and the jet fueling intercourse scenes which are riffled to death. Again, when you are in the mood to watch this you will enjoy it as opposed to just having it on. Sometimes the right mood makes watching these movies much better. - Parts the Clonus Horror - a popular Season 8 episode with Mike & the Bots. This was my least favorite of this quartet. Im not into this movie as much as the others. Maybe a little more on the duller side. At least the Starfighters was unforgettably dull, this one was just not my cup of tea. Stil a popular episode among the MST scifi fans. Overall a great set, worth owning and Rhino made no screw ups :) Customer Rating: Summary: A Strike, Two Hits, and a Home Run Comment: This is a rather lukewarm collection. Two of the episodes are average, one of them is painful, and the final one is stellar. If you're a fan, you can't go wrong by buying this set, but this should probably be one of the final ones you get. The Rebel Set is all right. It's certainly not the first episode I leap to when I need my MST3k high, but it's serviceable. It's a tale of three downtrodden individuals taking place in a bank robbery for a criminal mastermind... and of course, things don't go as they should. For the most part, it's a torpid turd, trudging along until the final third of the movie. It's also one of those movies that ALMOST works, and you'll find yourself watching it and forgetting to listen to the boys every now and then. Because it has its own presence and almost functions properly, it shadows the riffing and is almost impossible for the guys to lift. That said, check out the short, "Johnny Goes to the Fair." It's a fabulous short, definitely one of my favorites. I laugh until I cry every time I watch it. Secret Agent Super Dragon is average as far as eps go. It's a James Bond ripoff, which is all you need to know. Although the premise sounds hilarious, the movie itself is just not very engaging. Yeah, it's super lame; that's the problem. It fails at being a humorously poor film in and of itself -- a quality that always makes for the best episodes. That said, the constant jabs at the "white-trash Q" and rude protagonist make for a pretty good time. Just don't expect too much from this one. The Starfighters is horribly, horribly boring. This is basically airforce propaganda masquerading as a documentary masquerading as a movie. Refueling scenes take up roughly a fourth of the movie, and there's only so much Mike and the bots can say before you're taking a nap. Furthermore, here's a case of poor product; I popped this pristine, brand-spanking-new DVD into my player and the darn thing skipped a total of 5-6 times. Really, shame on you, Rhino! Parts: The Clonus Horror is my favorite in this set. The premise is that humans are cloned as organ donors for the wealthy. It's downright hilarious! The movie is just interesting enough to keep you engaged while the guys pop out one-line wonders. This episode is a must-have! All in all, I can only really recommend this set to the hardcore fan. New MSTies are better off with Volume 2. Customer Rating: Summary: are you mad at me, clone daddy? Comment: Typical formula for the box sets - one must-have, one solid episode, and two fairly good ones. The Clonus Horror is the reason to buy the set. Hilarious riffs, and a stupid-bad movie. Peter Graves just going though the motions is 10 times better than anything else in this Rockford Files-quality clunker about everyone's favorite bogeyman - the rich and powerful. I wonder how they justify all that money for henchmen to the stockholders? Super Dragon is a cheesy low-budget completely unoriginal secret agent flick, including several meaningless plot twists just pulled out of the woodwork, that make you say 'what?!' Starfighters is a valentine to the US Air Force that makes the Green Berets look like a documentary. I'm not anti-military at all, but this is embarrassing, and probably deserves worse than it got. Lots of in-air refueling. Like the guys said about 'Skydivers,' this is one of those movies where they forgot to actually have things happen. The Rebel Set is a heist-and-double-cross flick, with not-bad production values and not un-watchable, if somewhat impressive for its complete lack of suspense. Gritty 50s realism. Outside Clonus, which is great, the other selections are basically solid, if not top-flight classic funny, which seem to be doled out one per box set. Grr. Customer Rating: Summary: Action, adventure, bad movies... Comment: This set has four movies - let us break them down now... "Picture, Picture, Show Us Holland." Secret Agent Super Dragon is a mixture of James Bond and Get Smart. Think James West, think Flint, think Holland. Lots and lots of Holland! "Thank You For Holding." The Starfighters is about the US Air force, who do more refueling before noon than any other air force. Lots of refueling. Lots of jets refueling. And ladders, bombs and wheels. But mostly refueling. "A Priest beating the hell out of a guy in a factory." The Rebel Set, with the short Johnny at the Fair, is one of those gems of movie history which many an actor would have burned if they could. You will KNOW some of the stars and even enjoy the plot. Yes, under all the beatnicks and beards and bars there is a plot. And lots of Train Movie jokes. A lot happens on a train. If you don't like trains, don't watch this movie. "Peter Graves' Dad" parts: the clonus horror is a movie that had a mixture of major stars and some major money, yet still had that feel that somebody was making a home movie. There is a joke about a smoking crotch and the skits are pretty funny, yet it seems the weakest of the four films. This set is wonderful, a real find. Get it used or new. Customer Rating: Summary: MST3K To The Rescue Comment: Tired of watching bad movies? Well, you won't be anymore. Bad movies have never been so good thanks to Mike, Joel, Tom Servo and Crow. Sit back, relax and enjoy some of the worst movies ever made. Caution: lasting side effect of making sarcastic comments throughout every movie you see can lead to breakups, divorce, butt kickings and other mishaps.
