History YMMV / GeminiMan

* SpecialEffectsFailure: While Junior visually is an example of VisualEffectsOfAwesome, the hand-to-hand fight scenes unfortunately have some really obvious CG effects put in to simulate hits connecting. This is an unfortunate side-effect of the movie being in a higher frame rate, which otherwise would've exposed all the moments where their hits failed to connect had it been filmed completely traditionally.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: When Junior has Danny as a hostage he keeps referring to her as "ma'am." When she asks why he deadpans, "I was taught to respect my elders." The look on her face afterwards is nothing short of hilarious.

[[AC:The Film]]

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Junior, for the most part, transcends the UncannyValley and is completely convincing as a young Will Smith.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The movie's opening theme.

* TheScrappy: Buffalo Bill isn't so bad in his first appearance where he's clearly Southern, but its downplayed. At least compared to the second half of the film where he seems to have devolved to a Creator/JeffFoxworthy level caricature and has also become an incompetent moron that blows Sam's secret almost immediately after learning it.

* {{Narm}}: Damn right, you turkey. The edits done to turn the two episodes of the series in to a "movie" are about as seamless as a baseball, but the narm doesn't end there:

* {{Narm}}: "This can't BE?! You're DEAD?!"

* FridgeLogic: How exactly did Dr. Hale pass off his tripolydine scam as a fuel additive if it didn't actually work? The tests were all done at Intersect, so surely someone there would have noticed it wasn't getting the mileage Dr. Hale was claiming.

** Leonard Driscoll's plan to transport the tripolydine? Sending one agent in a truck while an actual military convoy is used as a decoy. In other words, this super secret fuel additive and ''everything related to it'' is being dispatched largely unguarded... which is of course exactly what the fraudulent Dr. Hale was planning for in the first place. Had they sent ''real'' military protection, Dr. Hale wouldn't have been able to get away with his scheme. The show tries to justify this by saying that the "International Oil Cartel" would try to attack and blow up the tripolydine, but an actual military convoy would have been better equipped to counter their attacks anyway.

* TheScrappy: Buffalo Bill.

* EthnicScrappy: Is redneck an ethnicity? Whatever, Buffalo Bill is an idiot and nobody likes him.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Apparently ''GeminiMan'' was more popular in England than it ever was in America, at least for a little while. It got one issue of its own annual.

* WhatAnIdiot: All things considered, Casey is a pretty lousy secret agent. He totally hangs on every word by Dr. Hale, allowing him to switch himself out of the truck and Abby into the truck, does not notify his superiors when he ''finally'' catches on to Hale's absence, blatantly and non-subtly asks Buffalo about Denby's activities while surrounded by other people that easily could have been working for Denby (''and one of them was!''), tells Buffalo he's a secret agent (thus allowing Buffalo to tell Denby)...it's a wonder the guy hasn't been kicked out yet, invisible or not.

* LargeHam: Jim Stafford in the second [[strike:episode]] half of the movie, especially when he finds out Casey is a secret agent.
-->'''Buffalo:''' '''''WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!'''''

* HilariousInHindsight: [[{{Chuck}} An agent of Intersect named Casey?]]

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Say what you will about the movie's opening theme, but even Mike and the bots seem to enjoy it, adding sound effects, and Crow pretending to be a choreographer for a dance to the song.

-->'''Crow:''' TheDukesOfHazzard got renewed!
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Apparently ''GeminiMan'' was more popular in England than it ever was in America, at least for a little while. [[http://fourcolorcraic.blogspot.com/2008/07/do-not-exceed-15-minutes-brown-watson.html It got one issue of its own annual.]]

* ReverseFunnyAneurysm: Mike's riff of "We'd like you to consider Scientology!" when thugs attack Casey in the second part of the "movie" takes on new meaning in these times of ''SouthPark'' and Anonymous.
** Mike also does a riff about Sam getting his "swine flu results" as part of a larger running gag about this clearly being the 1970s. In light of the swine flu scare of 2009, however...

[[AC:MST3K]]
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Mike is unimpressed with Servo's new foam-latex "trucker" body:
-->'''Mike:''' You have no butt!\\
'''Servo:''' You're just jealous, Nelson! You ''wish'' you had my butt! '''I''' like my butt!!
** The New England Journalist jokes.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Servo's ode to the 70's (that is, 70-79 A.D.), as well as "Do You Remember the 50's?" (same mistake).
-->''Back in the super-bad seventies''
-->''the party did never stop!''
-->''The city of Pompeii was doin' fine''
-->''until Vesuvius blew its top!''
* MemeticMutation: The series of truck-based DoubleEntendre gags. Most famously, ''Transformers'' fan "Dinobot" (after the ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' character) had one of these gags quoted in his signature ''immediately'' after his Usenet {{tagline}}:
-->''Dinobot has spoken. My rigid grill structure is bearing down on your unprotected cargo door. -- Tom Servo Riding With Death''
** Dinobot's voice actor, {{Scott McNeil}}, was actually convinced to say the "rigid grill structure" line in-character at a convention.
** Incidentally, this episode seems to be the major contributor to the {{MSTing}} meme[=/=]RunningGag of Crow making lewd jokes and getting a FirstNameUltimatum chastised by Joel or Mike. Which is also an example of CharacterExaggeration.
* VindicatedByCable: It seems likely that no one would have heard of ''GeminiMan'' or ''Riding with Death'' if not for ''{{MST3K}}''.

-->''until Vesuvius blew its top!''

* AdaptationDecay: Based on [[HGWells H.G. Wells]]' classic ''TheInvisibleMan'' (!). The producers could stop the blood running down their walls, windows shaking, demonic voices on the radio, and spectral visitations if they'd just remove that credit.
