MST3K - Favorite Moments - The Brain That Wouldn't Die

- In episode 513 Mike is subjected to his first experiment on the satellite after Joel's escape.
The Brain that wouldn't Die dares to explore the (for rather obvious reasons) not often asked question:
What happens when the fiancé of a deranged doctor is decapitated in a car crash only to find herself being kept alive as a head soaking in a lasagne pan under the close supervision of her creepy fiancé and his rather inept and insecure assistant?
Well, she turns vengeful and homicidal.
Obviously!
Now, this is in and of itself not particularly threatening coming from a motionless head in a pan (if one is willing to ignore the fact that her decapitation somehow makes her unable to shut up), so for some inexplicable reason (or plot convenience) she is able to communicate with one of her fiancé's former failed experiments in transplantation (made from bodies he stole from the morgue), which is kept somewhat "secure" in a closet. (How her bodiless head is even able to talk is anyone's guess. Maybe it's the magic neck-juice...)
But before an unsuspecting audience reaches the highlight of further dismemberment of the cast, we are subjected to the woman heckling the disabled assistant while her doctor fiancé roams the streets of downtown Who Knows, searching for an able bodied woman to decapitate and transplant his fiancé's head on to.
Yes, there really are quite a lot of disturbing premises in this movie.
Anyway, after having searched what is apparently a Strip 'n Dine, stalked women on the street in his car, and gone to a beauty contest, our "good" doctor finally finds the perfect victim in the form of a former female acquaintance, who, due to a rather unfortunate scarring incident, has developed a somewhat "confrontational" attitude and distrust of men. Why exactly that leaves her to earn money by posing stiffly and un-erotically in a bikini in front of sad men with cameras in her own home, is anyone's guess.
Anyway, under pretence of wanting to help her, our "good" doctor lures her to his home in order to steal her body for his fiancé's head.
Yes, the positive moral of this story basically seems to be: Trust no one! EVER!
While all this is going on, the poor audience is treated to what has got to be one of the longest, most dragged out death scenes in movie history, spanning almost 2½ minutes and no less than two floors (with a small rest in a chair for good measure), when the insecure assistant gets his good arm ripped off by "the thing in the closet".
Oh well, the "good" doctor is foiled in his endeavour to transplant his fiancé's head on to his stiff and un-erotic acquaintance and is killed by "the thing" (after a rather strange wrestling match involving a door) and "the thing" manages to escape with Ms. Stiffness while the house spontaneously catches fire much to the strange amusement of our head-in-a-pan.
There really isn't a lot to say about this movie except its amazingly unappealing characters, its disturbing premises, and its rather bleak view at humanity in general. It does however seem to have a bit of an identity crisis in the end as the title is inexplicably changed from "The Brain..." to "The Head that wouldn't Die". A more fitting title, as pointed out in the last segment of this episode, would probably have been "The Mouth that wouldn't Die".
Fun Fact: Apparently it took three years for this movie to be released after it was done, because of its rather twisted plot and its passion for general dismemberment.
Other (less) Fun Fact: The producer and story writer, Rex Carlton, killed himself in ´68 allegedly because he couldn't pay back a loan he took from the mob to finance another movie.
Yet Another Fun Fact: "The thing in the closet" was played by the huge wrestler Eddie Carmel who went on to "star" in the rather risqué comedy 50.000 B.C. (Before Clothing) from 1963. Wonder if that means Mr. Soggy Butt is naked in that... (well, that's my future sex life down the drain. Thanks for nothing, bloody research!)
Look out for a wildly fluctuating nothing, Ms. Chestular region, Hitler, snap tight limbs, neck-juice, Bill Clinton in the Oval office, ways, Kurt Cobain's house, the realization that the liver isn't in the skull, a head that can't say no, the eroticism of tissue, a complicated beer-bong, lots of ways, a farewell to arms, flammable marble edges, Johnny Tremain, corpse relaxing music, the hand of William Proxmire, many ways, a dismemberment rejection, a whoever, Faye Dunaway, a posing Betty Rubble, another dimension, a head-quarters, a soggy butt, a canvass skull, a road attacking, an unfortunate smell, the power of Matthew Starr, and WAYS!
Enjoy! (Unless you have to hurry.)
I saw this movie when I was really young. When Cliff took so long to die, it freaked me out!
" Ironically he collapses into an ARM-chair..." kills me every single time x'D
And "A farewell to arms", lol :)
"Kill him! KILL HIM!"
" *I CAN'T! HE'S TEARING MY ARM OFF!* "
“I got a girlfriend who’s head is in a lasagna plate, I’ve seen it all”.
"A license plate, a boot, a tricycle wheel...He's a bottom-feeder." A "Jaws" reference!
"The Brain That Wouldn't Die" was released in 1962. "Jaws" was released in 1975.
@@WednesdayAddamsMWThis MST3K episode was released in October of 1993.
This movie shows just how far some guys will go for some head.
Boooo! 🤣
ZING!
I intended to "like" this comment, until I noticed it has 69 of them!
@@JPMadden nice
Trace's Casey Kasem impression kills me every time. Pitch perfect!
12:10 - "I guess you'd call that a farewell to arms."
May be one of MST2K's best jokes ever.
"Contestant 3 slipped and her head fell off!"
"I'LL TAKE HER, I'LL TAKE HER!"
R.I.P., Virginia Leith a.k.a. Jan in the Pan.
Wow, that's a pretty long life she had - that neck juice is really powerful. Sorry, couldn't resist...
12:15 - I was waiting for him to get electrocuted, then fall onto fire ants, then step on a bear-trap, then fall face first against a grinder wheel, then get shot, then get dowsed with acid, then fall onto a pile of rock salt, then get attacked by a pack of rabid dogs, then burst into flames and fall into a wood-chipper.
I love how at 11:02 Tom shouts "not with radar!" That's a "call-forward" to episode 520, "Radar Secret Service," which aired after this one, episode 513. I know of one other time they did this: in episode 414, "Tormented," there is a scene on a beach where the ghost of Vi is standing next to Tom Stewart. We know her ghost is there because 2 footprints appear in the wet sand, at which point Crow shouts "Sam!" This is a reference to episode 814, "Riding with Death." That's the one in which Ben Murphy plays government agent Sam Casey, who was accidentally irradiated, giving him the ability to become invisible at times.
Next time I'm in an auto accident, I'll tell the cops "THE ROAD WAS ATTACKING MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!"
One of the gruesomest movies ever featured on MST3K. And for those who wondered who played the monster in Dr. Cortner's lab, he was Eddie Carmel.
A competition for "Sleaziest MST3K Movie Ever" would be pretty fierce, but this movie has to be pretty high up there. I always feel like I need several showers after watching it.
The Atomic Brain & The Girl In Lover's Lane were runners up.
Don't mention Girl in Golden Boots
4:55 "...doesn't she need lungs??? No, she's got neck juice!..." That's soooo funny!!
10:47 - "That's the last time I get in a car with Monty Clift..."
Damn, that's brutal!
Look up the Sen. William Proxmire reference on Google. 🖥️
"What you see is real" "what you smell is unfortunate"
4:20 - "He's at the 20...he's at the 10..."
One of the best scenes... 👍🏻🤓
12:10
Mike: "Guess you'd call that 'A Farewell to Arms'."
Tom: "Ohh, zing! Good one!"
Crow: "There you go!"
I love how the bots are encouraging Mike along during his first riff session.
You know something’s funny when Tom and Crow laugh
My favourite thing is when the bots say something, and Mike really cracks up.
I'm trapped in another dimension!
Tom's laugh at 5:42 remains one of my favorite moments from the entire series.
at 1:44- 1:45 (headphones required) when tom servo says "zip", it's heard ALL over the studio! LOL!
12:10 "I guess we call that a farewell to arms."
Mike's first time at bat!
6:56 - "Meanwhile, at Kurt Cobain's house."
7:48 - "Bill Clinton in the Oval Office."
8:07 - "It's Pauly Shore."
Those ones get me every time.
And don't forget Patty Hearst....
12:51 - "Now, can I take your head?....UH, COAT! COAT!!!!"
“I’m too cool for emergencies.
Some of the close-ups make it look like he's somewhere else. :)
There are ways.......there are ways. Lots of ways. Many ways. Did I mention there are ways? Ways.
"diarrhea is like a storm raging inside you" (3:50) LOL!
I laughed so hard watching this movie and Mikes comments.
This dance represents that there are no baked potatoes until after 5 🤣
12:00
"BUY AN ENCYCLOPEDIA! BUY AN ENCYCLOPEDIA! I'm working my way through Choreography School!"
"I'll be right back...with a Milwaukee Sawzall"
An old friend of mine used to " it's like giving a enema to a dead man, it can't hurt"
ZING! 😆
12:02
“BUY AN ENCYCLOPEDIA!! BUY AN ENCYCLOPEDIA!!”
Love all that stuff about being trapped in another (poorly jump cut) dimension.
But i really miss the line about KPORN - sleazy, slutty music.....
"HELP ME IM IN ANOTHER DIMENSION!"
"ANOTHER DIMENSION AGAIN!!"
"OH NO ANOTHER DIMENSION AGAIN WHATS HAPPENING TO ME?!"
@@christopherwall2121 This dimension has cocktails. Thank you!
This is my HEADquarters! lol
"What you see is real, what you smell is unfortunate." "Maybe she can get work in a Peter Gabriel video."
😘
"Who you are is irrelevant."
After seeing this movie, I've started listening to the smooth, slutty tunes on KPORN.
5:02. I guess traditional marital consummation is out of the question.
I have my suspicions, but i believe whomever was behind the 2002 horror movie May, was inspired by this gruesome grindhouse piece.
Read this comment, checked the movie plot on the internet and was curious enought about the ending scene to look for it on youtube. Watched it and felt legitemately dizzy and sick, and when I got to bathroom (slightly wobbling) I puked. For the first time EVER from watching a movie. I hadn't even puked when I was watching a post mortem examination during college. Thanks for that ;p
after a hard days work, you made my day. Thanks man
"Now how my gonna tell fish stories!!!" .... 🎣😄
Now she's a paper weight
Actor Jack Nicholson is watching this film on TV in a scene from a movie. 📽📺👍🏻🤓
"Look at this brain - see, it won't die!"
i love your descriptions
"all I need is a kimchi pot"
"wait...mother''s dead?!"
Shut up, your my trophy wife.
I HAVE TO HURRY.
"Farewell to arms!"
you're uploads always make my day better :)
Thank you auritone!
12:02 BUY AN ENCYCLOPEDIA! BUY AN ENCYCLOPEDIA!
"Hey Buddy, I'll book you in Iowa!" A fascinating remake of "The Buddy Holly Story."
the zzZZZIP! kills me every time!
What you see is real....what you smell is unfortunate
Nice work and it shows. ALL THUMBS UP, BABY!!
That guy is like a proto-Armie Hammer 😬
MIKE RULED!!!
I actually really like this movie. The lead's acting absolutely sucks, but it's kind of creepy and creates a great atmosphere.
It reminds me of Steve Martins 1980s comedy; The Man With 2 Brains ... IMDb.com ...
I forgot how funny they were...thanx for posting
Well done.
Diarrhoea is like a storm raging inside you!
Ah, I was waiting for this one.
isn't the "the good doctor" the same actor who was the unemotional "hero" in She creature?
13stooge That was Lance Fuller, who did a better job as Brack in This Island Earth . Jason Evers played the mad doctor 👨⚕️ in this film.
10:08 HI!!
WAYS !!!
Not one ReAnimator reference!
4:00 This good enough? 🤢
When I fell in love with you I was a some-body but now I realize I am a no-body.
(Thank you I'll see myself out)
I get it, it was a comedy.
the best part of my youtube watching rituals.... YAY
Tag, you're God!
I need some Advil! #Ways
Some stock music used in the movie appears on THE BLOB album, available here:

That's some great head!!!
Happy to please. :)
My pleasure. :)
So her *POWER* is telling a monster what to do. That's weak sauce, or would it be neck-juice?
No Reanimator jokes? Unfair.
There was a William Proxmire reference somewhere...🤭
aww you cut the 'im getting sentimental over you'
HI!!!!
13:47, she's a She-Male, a very excited She-Male lying on the table.
No, that's just a container of talcum powder on a tray, filmed at an awkward angle.
I'll let myself out...🤓
Thanks. :)
Are her vocal cords under the table 🤔? And just how many amputee operations does one hospital do at a time?
No, it’s all in the neck juice.
That Kurt was such a drama queen.
1:01 to 1:05 is the best.
WHO TOOK MY FAVORITE LASAGNA PAN?!
One NO ONE...WILL EVER SEE
I didn't get the other dimension joke...
It's making fun of the fact that the jump cut/headshots are randomly inserted into the scenes and appear to show the character in front of a different background or no background at all.
This movie was so bad it was good.
That’s what MST3K is for.
A pity they never made that into a Broadway musical. 🤣
Haaaaauyeeeee! That women looked like Angelina Jolie
SargeFromWackbag You're talking about the chick with the scar, yes?
The head.
fu++ing funny
Jason Evers and Lance Fuller...dull, boring actor-twins separated at birth?
