413: First Broadcast - 10 am Saturday, Sept 19th 1992

Excellence Level: Silver
Movie Pain: Medium - Too many fist fights, no ray-gun action?
Riffing: Solid, good humor
Skits: Okay, with one classic!

This is actually a couple of episodes from an old kids series, melded together into one classic film experience. Meaty square headed Rocky Jones and his useless sidekick, Winky (The Lullaby King), take down a bunch of traitorous pirates using an invisible rocketship.
     Lots of funny - with solid riffing directed towards Winky and young Bobby. Plus the movie provides many a laugh. Especially the fight that causes the rock wall to quiver, and when Rocky uses his opponents head as a door knocker I lost it (this is one of about a thousand bare knuckle brawls, which begs the question: Why is it Rocky always drops his gun to engage in fisticuffs? It's not like he's a very good, or even an adequate pugilist).
     Includes a great Hexfield visit from Winky... live, via his, uh, invisible mmm, basement. Shown with the short General Hospital, which is a dumb Soap Opera, Why?! Ahh, but it too delivers many laughs.
     Of Note: Tom spots the MST3K logo in the movie. Joel says "Your not suppose to know about that" lol.
