 110 - ROBOT HOLOCAUST with short:
COMMANDO CODY PT 9
Genre: Post-Apocalyptic (S:
1952, B&W; F:
1987, Color)
Short: This starts with the last
installment of Commando Cody seen on MST, and it’s cut short as the film “breaks” before the end,
revealing a funny picture of the Mads with “Oops! the
film broke” written above their heads while cheesy
music plays in the background.
Synopsis: The feature is
one of those extremely lame Post-Apocalyptic Mad Max
rip-offs from the ’80s. This one takes place after
the Robot Rebellion of ’33, as robots control the air or
something, and humans are “air-slaves”... or
something. Some humans, a few of who can breathe
the poison air (you got me), band together to attack the
main robot compound and free a woman’s father who is
being held prisoner. There, a speech-impeded woman
named Valeria is running things for the “Da Kwon”
(or is it Dawg-wan? Dar-guan? Darcon?? Stargon???).
Valeria is a regular Elmer Fudd barking orders for the
“Darguan” – which apparently is a giant light bulb
stuck on an old mainframe. Anyway, our human
heroes must face cheesy obstacle after cheesy obstacle
as they try to defeat the “Darcon” while Valeria
frequently says incomprehensible things like
“Dawg-wan, I assoowa yoo, dey aw doowmmed.”
Eventually, they get to the “DaKwon” and find that
the father they were trying to rescue has been turned
into a giant avocado! The humans blow up
everything, including the girl’s Avocado Man father (I
guess he’s guacamole now) and the voice-over announcer
tells us that the humans have defeated the “Dark
One” (oh, THAT’S what Valeria was saying this
whole time!) and some other stuff, but by then, who
really cares what happened?
Don’s Review: The riffing is a
little bit on the sparse side, typical for a Season One
episode, but the humor of this incredibly cheesy movie
comes through strongly. Although the host segments are
mostly a waste, this is a must-see for anyone who’s a
fan of bad post-apocalyptic sci-fi. (Aren’t we all?)
