Excellence Level: Gold
Movie Pain: Low - Diverting and colorful spy pic
Riffing: Wildly Funny, very steady
Skits: A mixed bag

This silly spy thriller sees our hero forced out of retirement. His assignment? Stop an evil organization that has been spiking chewing gum with a dangerous drug. In addition to that gem of an idea, these bad guys can boast of owning a talking table, which I'd take over a talking motorcycle any day.
     As for the MSTing: I found the host segments to be a mixed bag. From the annoying and dumb Jazz sketch to the annoying but funny "Minsky"; the talking robot which drives Joel to the brink of madness!
     In the theater the jokes fly straight and true. For example; Crow noting that Super Dragon's boss looks exactly like a super marionations version of Senator Fritz Hollings. That's sharp wit, a clever observation that made me howl with laughter.
     The silly stuff is just as successful. During the scene of a secret gathering, in which the bad guy's prove they're a bad guy by placing a piece of a letter on the table- Joel announces, "The meeting of the society of guys who can make 'W's' will now begin!"
     I had a good time with this episode. It's not a slam-dunk on all phases, but very solid. And I even enjoyed the movie, flawed as it was.
