This is beautifully, horrifyingly accurate. The fact that ABK can disappear into such a wide variety of roles despite having such a distinctive look is a testament to how brilliant he is! These skits are always spot on in every way.
As someone who has seen an UNHEALTHY amount of Mystery Science Theater 3000, I've also seen a lot of these 50's and 60's sci-fi films by proxy and this is 1:1 accurate.
I was about to comment the very same thing, everything was so accurate. From the not at all menacing planet names to the perfectly done 50’s hair that’s so perfect it seems plastic, to the incredibly organic romance plot lines, and the simultaneous under and over reactions to everything that happens.
I hope you've seen Forbidden Planet too. That was the clear inspiration for about 85% of this skit, and would never be on MST3K because it's too damn good.
Ah Forbidden Planet, so far ahead of it's time and yet so of its time. Brilliant Mr.King, right down to the filmic look and the SFX of the original, Bravo sir!
That was amazing! It gives me hope that our civilization can also become this advanced! Maybe one day we'll be able to send messages instantly through some sort of fax machine!
It's astounding how much satire and entertainment you can pack into such a short video! You've captured the look, feel and substance of "Forbidden Planet" in less time than it took me to type this note. Bravo!
Needs at least 50 minutes of men in three piece suits standing around in a club room discussing how a mix of radiation and foreigners created a giant stinkbug (which strangely makes stock mountain lion noises), and at least two scenes of teenagers dancing the dorkiest moves known to mankind.
_"Forbidden Planet"_ monster always creeped me out. The lack of effects and the unseen seemed to work in their film's favour. _"The Day the Earth Stood Still"_ with Gort, the silent sentry who could destroy a planet and just stood motionless for most of the film, or _"Them"_ , with the wide-eyed stare of the child, while the chittering sound was all around. Scared me senseless as a kid. Lack of budget or effects solutions makes for creative solutions.
Regardless of the fact that it's a futuristic lazer gun with unlimited shots (when necessary), I still like to see The American shoot at the Convincing Special Effect 4-5 times, then hurl the weapon ineffective at the Creation. At least he did keep the weapon pointed at everyone he was speaking to. Also, any object that is named by the characters should have the words "space," or "star" as a first name. For example, Amonnia is interfering with the men's "space" instruments.
That was a very convincing special effect. It really convinced me that the age of bourgeoisie is nearing its end and that the proletariat must rise from its knees.
The main point about Forbidden Planet is that it's too good to parody and still great to parody. Even the effects sequences they cut still stack up today.
The foggy filter over the girl's close ups is too real. My father was so excited to show us Ben-Hur, but between it's 3.5 hr runtime (which felt like 8 hrs with the boring pacing) and the way the female lead was shot and directed we just couldn't do it. We paused it during the chariot race and said we'd watch the rest later and then we never did.
