Here we go again, another review from the first season of MST3K.
Once again, the film was preceded by another Commando Cody short. This one was short, too. In this episode, Cody and his sidekick repair their moon vehicle, throw grenades at the moon vehicle chasing them (thereby disabling it), and escape back to their rocketship. The end.
No seriously, that’s about all that happened.
The feature this time was Robot Holocaust. It’s a terrible 80s film about “The Dark One”, an evil computer, that has taken over the world. Humans are mere slaves, and the air is poisoned (mostly). One swordsman and his goofy freebot sidekick embark on a quest to end the reign of the Dark One. A hot 80s chick with a weird accent is the Dark One’s second in command (why do hot women always serve evil?). He also has a lobster-like robot captain that is pretty ruthless. They turn off the good air to the slaves a few times, try to stop the swordsman and his entourage from reaching the power station where they have a final battle. The hot chick gets her face burned by an exploding generator when the Dark One “no longer needs her” (didn’t see that one coming, hehe), but she continues to serve to the end. Which did not come soon enough. The plot was terrible, and the only redeeming factor was that this is the first color movie that MST3K does in their first season.
