Interesting trivia, Reb Brown and his love interest in Space Mutiney were married before the made Space Mutiney together and are still married to this day.
It's weird: Dave Winters, two years before making the horrendous, piss-poor Space Mutiny made "Thrashin'" (1986) - which is an epic, ton of fun 80s skateboard gang B-movie, which is a straight up fantastic cheez-fest, well worth a watch! (A good bit like the BMX movie "Rad" from the same time)
Rabid Rabbit Rabbi When they showed the first clip after Rich said that I thought, "Man, it would be funny if they actually played it 20 times in a row." And then they did. And it was glorious.
Chelsea Field is the "beta/vhs" girl in Death Spa at around 5 mins. She is, of course, married to Scott Bakula, a.k.a. Jonathan Archer, captain of Earth's first Warp 5 starship, Enterprise. (I had to look up that last part.)
@13:30 Isaac Florentine directed High Voltage during his experimental days also directing various Power Rangers episodes, when that franchise suddenly started getting a lot better action sequences. Good chance the stunt actors were from that series as well.
Oh, Space Mutiny...I have watched the MST3K version, and the version completely free of riffing. My sides hurt from laughing at this cinematic wonder every damn time. Love this show, too--y'all are timeless. x
Agreed. It actually hurt a bit watching them rip it apart :( but I know there should be no limits to riffing, or comedy. It's in my top 5 best of the worst films and the live RIFFTRAX version is awesome too! Be sure to check it out if you're a fan. I do agree that Cameron Mitchell is disappointing in this one but Reb Brown, the terrible sets and dialogue more than make up for it imho. Cheers from Canada
Fun fact: Antonio Sabato Jr, the incredibly awkward actor in the first movie, would go on to complain about his inability to get a job in Hollywood, comparing it to the treatment of Jews in the Holocaust.

I love how general the "Asian Mafia" is. I bet they don't even specify if they're Yakuza or Triads (Japanese or Chinese respectively). They're just...Asian. That's it. That's all you need to know. Did this inspire the "Asians" from Pineapple Express? "Can't you be more specific!? Technically Indians are Asian!"

As MANY have pointed out: The entire "Belarian" sub-plot has no connection to the actual movie, this is likely because these sections were filmed for part of a (you guessed it) different movie entirely. They never interact with any of the main characters besides Santa Claus, and that scene is particularly suspect as he is wearing an entirely different costume for it than anywhere else in the movie. The Belarians never had anything to do with anything and the scenes they shot with them were probably thrown in by the editor(s) in order to lengthen a running time that was clearly too short for a full-length film. Also they really did steal footage from Battlestar Galactica and were somehow not sued to my knowledge. The film is such a mess of editing that its a wonder it even made it to theatres.
Do you mean a showing for the friends and family of the filmmakers, or something the public could buy tickets for? Any idea how many days it showed for? If you know, please lmk. Cheers from Canada
37:53 Dune, which is from the 60s, iirc, has precognition and sort-of-reincarnation. The Foundation series has an unexplained branch of mathematics which also acts basically as prophetic abilities. Yeah, sci fi does have a history of mystical elements, sometimes hidden under pseudoscientific jargon, other times not.
And you actually used that stunt shot 20 times! Bravo. And that music! It makes this scene seem so EPIC and just exploding with pure awesomeness POWER! Honestly, that's my favorite scene from all these 50 minutes! Start at 14:09
I think the computer in Death Spa is a red herring. Not for us, but for the characters. Ghost posses computer so it looks like it's the computer's fault when people die...even when not related to the computer. But it was in the age of 'COMPUTER DO ALL THINGS!" film making.
VidarOdinson79 I think they just don't like to mention MST3K for some reason. There was another pretty popular MST3K movie in HITB or BOTW and they didn't mention it then either. It was a movie about a swamp creature or something.
eliasmurray It was The Blood Waters of Doctor Z. Yeah, it seems like they are unaware that MST3K watched some of their movie picks. It's probably better that way, because they are genuinely blindsided by hilarious moments like Reb Brown's scream-into-calmly-jumping-from-vehicle moment. They might also not mention because they don't want people to think they are stepping on MST3K's toes.
Craig Williams Yeah. I don't think there's actually anything to say apart from 'MST3K riffed this', or referencing MST3K jokes, and from their opinion on McFarlane, they're not big on reference 'humour'.
16:47 - I was also amazed at the sound of the guns in this movie - they are badly distorted and stupidly loud, but that makes them work - just like it made dubstep work.
Question: are we seriously expected to believe that the blind woman in Death Spa is just bumbling her way through life while her eyes heal like nothing's wrong? Like, how did she even GET to her locker in the first place? Did she just stagger through the parking lot while groping at stuff and hope she reaches the front door of the gym? Generally speaking, there's a reason why people in this condition remain in hospital while they're waiting for their eyes to heal. Just saying.
I think the loophole for the "Star Wars" special effects claim on the Space Mutiny VHS box is because the miniature effects supervisor from Battlestar Galactica also worked on A New Hope

That's because, as Jay so astutely observed, the sound effects for the gunfire sound like they were taken directly from the Indiana Jones movies. To be specific, to my ears they sound like they might be the exact gunshot sounds lifted from the brawl at Marion's Tavern in Nepal! The punches also sound "borrowed" from Raiders! They do sound larger than life, but also help showcase why Ben Burtt is The Man!!
Just letting everyone know... the art on the Death Spa Blu-Ray is the same same cover art that was on the original VHS release and probably the one-sheet if there was one. Love that artwork. Love that ridiculous movie.
That "I'm Beta, you're VHS" line is extra great seeing as he dies not long after.
Unintended irony is pretty great.

Like, it sounds like every single gun is a magnum no matter what.
i find it distracting in a good way
That's because, as Jay so astutely observed, the sound effects for the gunfire sound like they were taken directly from the Indiana Jones movies. To be specific, to my ears they sound like they might be the exact gunshot sounds lifted from the brawl at Marion's Tavern in Nepal!
The punches also sound "borrowed" from Raiders! They do sound larger than life, but also help showcase why Ben Burtt is The Man!!
I love in the shot of the guy hitting the box how the camera loses him momentarily, like him hitting the box was an accident.
Just letting everyone know... the art on the Death Spa Blu-Ray is the same same cover art that was on the original VHS release and probably the one-sheet if there was one. Love that artwork. Love that ridiculous movie.
Nice job looping that fall literally 20 times. It keeps getting better each time.
The death spa cover is the original artwork, used to see it all the time back in the video store when i was too young to rent it 😂
I love Rich's "cool guy" voice 😁 49:56 gets me every time.
Surfs up 😎
I couldn't stop laughing at the 20 takes part. OMFG.
Daniel Crowley hahahah
The best part is the feelgood 80s synth playing in the background the whole time.
Love the Best of the Worst. Keep up the great work, guys!
