Noteworthy for standing among those elite films such as ''[[ManosTheHandsOfFate Manos]]'' and ''MonsterAGoGo'' that came close to breaking the cast of ''[=MST3K=]''.

!!The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation has examples of:

* BerserkButton: Both on and off screen for the MST3K crew. On screen, the film was among those that came the closest to breaking the Satellite of Love crew, and sparked Servo's meltdown at the top. Off screen, as noted above, the production staff and cast was extremely disapproving of what appeared to be genuine WW2 bombing footage being incorporated into what was essentially a sci-fi film, an attitude that was given free rein in the more-merciless-than-usual riffing.
* BigWhat: Mike and the Bots' reaction upon seeing the Hitler Building.
* BrainBleach: Bobo's statue.
-->'''Bobo:''' Heavens, I'm nude!
* HeroicBSOD: Mike and the bots' reaction to the film.
-->'''Crow''': "To be dead, to be nothing...to watch Neptune Men no more."
* HypocriticalHumour: ''"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA--Your costume is ridiculous!"''
* {{Mondegreen}}: The "Roji Panty Complex", although whatever they're trying to say doesn't seem to make much more sence.
* MythologyGag: A lot of riffs make references to ''PrinceOfSpace''.
* RocksFallEveryoneDies: Mike tries to force this ending on the movie
-->'''Mike''': They were never seen again and Japan came to an end!
* RunningGag: "Where's my record?"
* SanitySlippage: You bet.
* ShoutOut: "Starring [[SantaClaus Santa]]! SpeedRacer! ShonenKnife! SailorMoon!"
* SoapOperaDisease: Servo catches Roji Panty Complex from the movie and is bedridden for one host segment, while Mike has to administer four-packs of female undergarments. Crow then decides he has it too.
* SpecialGuest: The Phantom of Krankor from ''PrinceOfSpace'' shows up in one host segment. The movie is so soul-crushingly bad that Mike and the bots are glad to see him, and indeed, he [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming saves them from finally going insane.]]
* TakeThat: Done for laughs with the "Suggestions for Japan" segment:
-->'''Crow''': Dear Japan, stop making movies!
** Mike reads one of Crow's suggestions:
-->'''Mike:''' [[SailorMoon Japan, please reconsider cartoon gun-toting, big-eyed, prepubescent blondes as your national hero.]]
** Also:
-->'''Tom Servo''': The MTV news thing is broken!\\
'''Crow''': Good.
* WhosOnFirst: One of the host segments:
-->'''Crow''': "Mike, will you tell me the name of your favorite Japanese theater?"\\
'''Mike''': "Noh."\\
'''Crow''': "Why not?!"
** Later, of all people --
