It's just amazing that this movie only had a budget of $128.13. If they only spent another $1.49 I'm sure it would have won an Oscar for best movie made for under $130.00.
This movie was actually filmed in full color, but because the studio was filled with a permanent haze of cigarette smoke it only appears to be black and white.
@@bhollins3556 According to MST3K lore this is because, when they filmed the very first episode, Joel hadn't slept in four days. He kept the mannerisms throughout the show.
I was fine with the diurnal plantscape and oxygen and microbial compatibility, but I was put off by the availability of Sear's new fall line in the moon palace
I guess back when this movie was made, people just assumed that if we ever did go to Jupiter, the most important provision we'd take would be a couple cartons of Lucky's.
I gotta give it to Jef Maynard and Trace Beaulieu. Trace because he directed those fantastic host segments and was great as Crow as always, and Jef because he did some DAMN GOOD PUPPETEERING as... TIMMY.
My First MST3k episode I ever saw, back in 2007 when in was 9. It has a special place in my heart, I've built replicas of both Tom Servo Crow T. Robot, hopefully Gypsy, eventually I'll build Timmy.
11:56 for the TRULY ASTONISHING scene of the secretary's famous endless arrival followed soon after by the secretary's famous equally long LEAVETAKING. This scene baffles me more than any idiocy in Plan 9.
I'm more than a little certain that was titillation. In the days of the Hays Code, focusing on the woman's legs for that long is the equivalent of a cleavage shot. You'll notice that the camera seems very focused on the maidens' legs throughout the film
@@Mukyoukai Those were long mid calf length early fifties skirts and I don't think ankles have turned men on since 1890. This length skirt was THE ugliest creation of women's wear in the century.

However, Cy Roth was an American and it was intended for distribution in both the US and the UK, so they may have kept it within the Hayes Code's restrictions in order to placate their American distributors, because God forbid they offend the delicate, puritanical sensibilities of Middle America!
As a sci-fi luvvin' kid, I growled at this 🤬 of a movie, and felt totally ripped off by the "monster". Nearly two decades later, MST3K ripped it a new one, and it felt like Chet getting his comeuppance in Weird Science.

Fire Maidens of Outer Space -- a truly nothing flick. The monster's head wasn't bad looking when under-exposed, but the thermal underwear outfit is said to have kept the film from being nominated for best costume design. The space ship was really roomy for a V2 rocket. The film also made space travel look and feel about as complicated as driving to Wal-Mart. These are the sort of things that happen when a producer is too cheap to hire someone like Werner von Braun as a technical advisor. I got the distinct impression that a tobacco company may have helped sponsor this film. The twin-screw controller that operated everything on the ship actually compelled the Screen Actor's Guild to make a rule revision that required a minimum of two props per film -- proof that good things can and do come from bad.
The artificial gravity was remarkably effective too. In those days nobody thought about acceleration either, how a rocket would have to flip over in order to decelerate and straps would have to be used to hold astronauts _down_ ... Not to mention that they had to "guess" the rotation of the moon because: why would you have to know that to land on it?!?
"It's a Wonderful Life" has got to be the most oft-cited pop culture reference in all of MST3K's history (and well into Rifftrax, too) and wow, does this episode have a ton of quotes from it. Every time a bot riffs an angel gets its wings!
It's like they knew how painful the movie is and came up with the Timmy stuff so the audience wouldn't fall asleep. You wouldn't think a silent Crow double moving around the theater would be so creepy, but it is.
That whole secretary scene when she comes down the stairs in what seemed like hours just stay downstairs for a few seconds of note taking, only to then that another five hours to walking up the stairs had me rolling. Capping it with the 'knee to the groin' joke, and I was gone!
They edited out the part where she walks on the glass walled ramp above the steps: "she's not wearing underwear". with the reply: "That means it's Thursday in England".

They opted for the former, because it was easier and because Pluto was always kind of a weird outlier anyway.
Joel was the best host for people who get a lot of references, but Mike was better for most everybody else. I'd say they're about equal due to those qualities.

Regarding smoking on a spaceship... Who can forget Neil Armstrong's famous words when he first set foot on the moon, "Welcome to flavor country."

It was a quote from the series too though.
"Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chants out between two worlds...
Fire... Walk with me.
Joel was the best host for people who get a lot of references, but Mike was better for most everybody else. I'd say they're about equal due to those qualities.
@@BigPuddin Mike was your classic “every man,” Joel was… Joel. Of course that’s partly why Mike could do so many impressions and why Joel was always Joel. I love them both as hosts. I’m glad they’re both still out there riffing.
Young people, take note of the size of the seats and the roominess of the plane. This is from the days when airlines actually gave a flying f--k about passenger comfort and not just the almighty dollar.
But the price of a ticket was 5x as now.
@@naturesinterface6663 So what? It kept bums off of planes. I wish they'd go back to props. You could smoke on a plane then.
@@mikezylstra7514 somehow that aint a turn on to me for flying...a cabin filled wth 2nd hand smoke
@@davidschwartz6380 First off, the cabins apparently had controlled air flow, secondly, I never heard anybody complaining. I guess it was a different day.
09:22 "Keep left! ON THE LEFT!!! DICKWEED!!!!" XD
This has got to be one of the best mistie episodes ever !
"Let's make a movie about smug sexists doing nothing."
"Okay."
Well, they do smoke a lot.
@corbin dallas LOL
"Smug sexists" went to the moon. After building the civilization that made it possible.
@@moremoneyfordreadnoughts1100 Aw, are the white supremacists throwing a tantrum in the comments of a dumb movie about Atlantis?
@@JwebGuru Are you going to reeeeeeeeeee and scream incel now?
I can't believe how much I'm in London. Really, really London...
This actually was filmed in the UK, they just chose terrible cheap-to-film-at locations.
Melissa Warner 😁😁
@@elizabethhogan1610 So that's why the telescope is in the bus station.
The funniest thing about this movie is even with the impossible padding its still 80 minutes long
"I question the relevance of this scene." Perfect.
24:33 "Take her down, Skipper, we're in the satellites atmosphere." "Shut up Gilligan, I'm the Skipper here!"
36:47 "...either these drapes go or we do." 😂
Cy Roth: the Hideo Kojima of bad 50s movies (at least as far as credits are concerned).
Does that lingering look at the secretary going down then up the stairs count as special effects?
I was waiting for the remark "She's not wearing underwear!"
In this movie, yes!
actually it's the only scene I watch this movie for (I don't know why...)
"Cy Roth, shame on you." sums this movie up better than anything I could think to say...
"Lets all watch it on the speaker."
19:36.
LMAO!!!!!
1:06:51, 1:07:16, 1:07:54, and 1:08:27 😂😂😂! Tom Servo and Timmy are making my sides hurt!
Is it the special edition director's cut with 20 minutes of extra running?
I love the nod to "It's a wonderful life," as Dr. Forrester shakes T.V.s Frank!
or the 'dum, dum, dum dum dum, dum" of Nancy Sinatra's "Boots"
Fun fact: Fire Maidens of Outer Space is actually on Blu-ray right now. Not sure if I would get it though.
"I thought I saw something move."
"Well, it sure wasn't us. "
*machine whines
"Sounds like Mariah Carey."
"Quickly? In _THIS_ film?? I don't think so!"
the boys held back on this one,imagine if this was adult channel----loolollolololololololo
Y'know, I've been watching these guys over 30 years & I've gotta confess, I'm guilty of the "yea, I know that episode" or "pre-judging" whether "I'll like THIS episode as well as THAT one.", etc. This is one I've never really given much of a chance & it's hilarious! (1st 13 minutes had me rolling ... @ 13:22: "huh, huh...allow me to knee you right in the groin, Bob!" These guys are an American Classic, indeed! Thanks MST3k Duders!
I know what you mean, I hate UA-cam comments too.
i LOVE that true to life VHS in the beginning of the video. made me think i sat on my remote. ..and also had a vcr still xD
Apparently they make spaceships with drywall interiors. And they hang pictures of radar screens on the wall.
This has to be one of my favourite MST3k episodes.
The structures that constituted London in this movie went on to portray Honolulu in Codename: Diamond Head.
The dance sequence with the girls towards the end is absolutely gold.
This might be one of my favorite episodes of the series. The movie itself stinks, but the Timmy story line and Aliens rip off were hilarious.
Couldn't agree more
There was history before the Fire Maidens, of course, but if you get too curious about it, they may send you to Ward E...
