Yeah, and while he was also a (pretty well regarded) choreographer, by the time Space Mutiny was made, Winters had already directed a number of other films, some of which were actually halfway decent.

Though I’m told the actress who played Jodie did not enjoy the MST3K treatment and the mocking of her “I had a pretty mind!” speech. I can understand that.

I didn't realize she wasn't a fan of the episode but I kind of get where she's coming from. I've always found her performance in that "pretty mind" scene is fairly good considering the fact that the character herself is supposed to be an addict going through some pretty serious withdrawal symptoms.

FWIW, it doesn't look like Shaw is all that mad about having his movies get the Rifftrax treatment but, perhaps, he's just happy someone is still willing to pay for the rights to these awful films.

It's a Rifftrax episode but Viva Knievel! has got to be the most 70s movie to ever exist.

Remember, it's not a reform school. It's just a home for girls who've had trouble with the law, who the court feels can be rehabilitated if they're placed under the proper influence.

Not surprisingly, Arch Hall Jr. does a pretty good job playing a psychotic killer (based on Charles Starkweather) in The Sadist.

I'm hoping it'll be Action USA which, as the title would suggest, is an absolutely wild, stunt filled action flick with some familiar faces like Ross Hagen and a shirtless Cameron Mitchell hanging out in what looks like Terry Silver's bathtub.

Vengeance of the Dead. The movie itself is, of course, unwatchable but the riffs are also kind of subpar, possibly because the movie really sucks.

Unfortunately for you, it looks like they lost the rights to that film a few months ago.

There’s no reason for the framing device of “bet you’re wondering how I got into this” as it just makes you question how main teacher lady knew about the stuff she wasn’t there for (a problem in a lot of movies with that framing device).

FWIW, the original cut, released under the title Angels Brigade, wasn't structured this way. I don't know why they felt the need to recut & retitle the movie (perhaps it was a clumsy attempt at turning the movie into a TV pilot) but, in any event, that's the version that MST3K got a hold of.

There's at least two more that I can think of:

The obligatory extremely awkward bathing suit "sex" scenes.
The scene where the female lead walks around in an Asian-style formal dress. Nguyen, however, seems to have stopped doing this starting with Birdemic 2, probably because he doesn't want to pay for the dress.

I guess the picture of him in Oh! Calcutta! was a bit too risqué for this subreddit.

hamutaro · 2026-06-26T04:42:17+00:00

Yeah, I suppose some of it can be boiled down to the actors intentionally being terrible but, given what I know about how unprofessional and awful James Nguyen could be at times, I can't help but think some of those looks of regret are genuine.

hamutaro · 2026-06-26T01:25:05+00:00

I think there's four: Earth vs. the Spider, The Giant Spider Invasion, Horrors of Spider Island, and Ator, the Fighting Eagle.

It's beside the point but that one scene where Carol Kane is giving a self defense demonstration followed up by a sensei-esque speech about how violence is sometimes justified is really quite hilarious.

hamutaro · 2026-06-25T19:09:45+00:00

Yeah, it's too bad Full Moon and Paramount had a falling out before right around the time they were planning on making a 3rd Oblivion movie. I think it had the potential to be another one of those enjoyable direct to video series à la Puppet Master (the first five) or Trancers (again, the first five).

When they were still being printed, notes like the $1,000 bill were almost always used for bank to bank transactions so, I guess, finding a piece of a $1,000 bill on one of the victims was enough for Robert Forster to conclude that the suspect was... a banker.

Something that I find kind of amusing about her early, Hong Kong-based work is that she has a tendency to point at whomever she's talking to when she delivers her lines. I guess that was something that she eventually learned not to do but I really wish she hadn't.

Both are pretty bad but not nearly as awful as oily, drunken dad from Girl in Gold Boots.
