4 | ->'''Kinga Forrester:''' Now, we know ''Wizards of the Lost Kingdom'' was a hard experience for you. Good news! Today, you're watching the sequel.\ |
5 | '''Jonah Heston:''' That's not good news!\ |
6 | '''Kinga Forrester:''' Yeah, I didn't say it was good news for ''you''. |

10 | !!The Segments: |
11 | [[AC:Prologue]] |
12 | * Jonah and the bots are feeling down because it's raining. In space. |
13 | |
14 | [[AC:Segment 1]] |
15 | * Kinga and Max are feeling down as well. Turns out it's raining on the moon too, so invention exchange time. Jonah and the bots invent GIF Notes: classic literary works, summarized in emojis. Kinga invents Punt Bunnies: adorable bunny rabbits, genetically engineered to ''want'' you to kick them across the room. |
16 | |
17 | [[AC:Segment 2]] |
18 | * Jonah and the bots present a franchisee orientation video for Dark One's Renaissance Inn & Grille. "If your customers survive, you're doing it wrong!" |
19 | |
20 | [[AC:Segment 3]] |
21 | * Jonah explains the context behind this movie's comedy: the "wizard humor" craze of the 80s. He even reads a few selections from a ''You Might Be a Crummy Wizard...'' book. |
22 | |
23 | [[AC:Segment 4]] |
24 | * Moon 13 gets another surprise visit from Pearl Forrester, Observer, and Bobo. Against Pearl's advice, Kinga decides she ''will'' have it all: a billion dollar media empire ''and'' a family. Which means Kinga is going to get married. After some thought, Kinga realizes the perfect sucker to marry... is Jonah Heston. |
25 | |
26 | [[AC:Segment 5]] |
27 | * "Doctor Jonah" suggests good movies to wash away the lingering pain of specific scenes from today's bad movie. |
28 | |
29 | ---- |
30 | !!Tropes used in the [=MST3K=] presentation of ''[[Film/WizardsOfTheLostKingdom2 Wizards of the Lost Kingdom II]]'': |
31 | |
32 | * AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Moon 14 had another movie leak, so the scene of The Dark One fighting a tentacle monster ("the Protector") is missing from this presentation. The lead-up to the fight is still there, and becomes a minor AbortedArc. |
33 | * AirVentPassageway: Crow adds this upon seeing Caedmon enter a castle this way: |
34 | -->'''Crow:''' If I owned a castle, first thing I'd do: put padlocks on the human sized grates that clearly lead somewhere else! |
35 | * ArtisticLicenseMusic: |
36 | -->'''Jonah:''' That fiddle player in the back is the real talent. I mean, how's he getting all these sounds from one instrument?\ |
37 | '''Crow:''' And the fiddler's doing all that without even touching the strings! Bravo! |
38 | * ArtisticLicenseSpace: In the opening segments, it's raining in space. And on the Moon. PlayedForLaughs, of course. |
39 | * BadGuyBar: Combined with YouAllMeetInAnInn in the movie itself, and parodied with Tom and Crow's orientation video; apparently, it's company policy at Dark One's Renaissance Inn & Grille to threaten to stab your customers to get a good tip, and then stab them anyway (but only ''after'' they've paid). |
40 | * BuffySpeak: When noting that the two arm-wrestling guys in the bar [[CelebrityResemblance look an awful lot]] like the Mael brothers from {{Music/Sparks}}, Jonah just calls them "guy from Sparks" and "other guy from Sparks". |
41 | * CallBack: |
42 | ** "Samurai [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S04E24ManosTheHandsOfFate Manos]]?" |
43 | ** "[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S11E02CryWilderness Now he can use the amulet to contact Bigfoot!]]" |
44 | ** "''Wizards of the Lost Kingdom 2'' was brought to you by America's Poultry Farmers--sponsors of [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S07E02TheBruteMan the Chicken of Tomorrow]]!" |
45 | * CaptainMorganPose: One of the bandits is introduced making this pose. "Now that's what I call a power posture." |
46 | * CaptainObvious: "If everyone says, 'Man, that's a crummy wizard,' when they see you... You might be a crummy wizard!" |
47 | * CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: |
48 | -->'''Jonah:''' The foolish thing is, all of Donar's initiatives were on the November ballot, so if they'd just mobilized their voter base, they wouldn't have to have this whole battle.\ |
49 | '''Crow:''' Yeah, but I like the battle. |
50 | * DeadpanSnarker: The bots aren't impressed with The Dark One's sardonic wit: |
51 | -->'''Servo:''' How do you deal with someone that sarcastic? It's like he's afraid to feel anything real. |
52 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: |
53 | -->'''General:''' Let me slice him open and gut him, Master.\ |
54 | '''Crow:''' Aren't those kind of the same thing? |
55 | * DesignatedHero: [[invoked]] As Jonah notes, The Dark One and Idun contribute more to the final fight than the wizard heroes do. "So, wizards: not defending themselves. Dancer: into the fray." |
56 | * DolledUpInstallment: Jonah accuses the movie of being one, stating with tongue firmly in cheek, "And this is definitely a sequel, not a completely unrelated movie that we slapped the beloved ''Wizards'' brand on." |
57 | * DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Jonah points out this trope during the scene where Freyja is trying to seduce Tyor, on how much creepier it would be if their genders were reversed. |
58 | * DullSurprise: "Uh, guys, we're still rolling. Everyone needs to keep acting, not just Terrence in the wolf suit there." |
59 | * DudeNotFunny: When evil wizard Donar punches Freyja for leading Tyor to the magic sword, Jonah and the bots all boo him. |
60 | -->'''Crow:''' Aw, man, I really wanted to like this villain. |
61 | * EightiesHair: "Her clothes say, 'Medieval peasant,' but her hair says, 'I'm going to a Whitesnake concert!'" |
62 | * ElementalRockPaperScissors: "So it's basically rock-paper-scissors. Fire destroys amulet. Amulet freezes legs. Legs stomp out fire. Yeah." |
63 | * ElephantInTheLivingRoom: Jonah and the Bots notably avoid making any jokes about (or even alluding to) David Carradine and Lana Clarkson's tragic deaths. |
64 | * FatSlob: Lots of jokes about Caedmon's health problems from being overweight. "2 p.m., time for my daily heart attack!" |
65 | * FixItInPost: "You'll speed this up in post so it looks like we're actually fighting, right?" |
66 | * {{Flynning}}: |
67 | ** When Erman leads a revolt against Loki's forces: |
68 | --->'''Servo:''' They're not so much sword fighting as high-fiving with swords.\ |
69 | '''Jonah:''' Taste the wrath of my gentle nudging! |
70 | ** When two thieves fight among themselves, they literally do nothing but overhand sword swings. |
71 | --->'''Servo:''' You defeated my overhand, sir knight, but can you handle-- PSYCH! Overhand!\ |
72 | '''Jonah:''' Okay, so it's not the greatest fight scene ever, but you really gotta give them credit. This was made in the days before talent or staging. |
73 | * FollowTheLeader: [[invoked]] "They're just throwing in moments from ''Star Wars'' and hoping it all works out somehow." |
74 | * TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: The guards in Zarz's throne room don't even move when Tyor waltzes in with a sword. "Hey, guards, this is kind of your moment. You gonna do anything, or just see how this plays out? Guards?" |
75 | * HappyEndingOverride: |
76 | -->'''Servo:''' So what [the narrator's] saying is, everything accomplished in the first movie was meaningless.\ |
77 | '''Crow:''' And all the characters, even that white Chewbacca knock-off thing, are dead. |
78 | * IneptMage: Caedmon's status as this gives rise to the "You Might Be A Crummy Wizard If..." segment. |
79 | * InferredHolocaust: [[invoked]] It's nice that the citizens of Donar's kingdom get their drinking water back, but... "Great. Nobody's following proper water-sanitation procedure, and now the whole village is gonna have cholera." |
80 | * KickTheDog: The Punt Bunnies are an almost literal example of this. Notably, Kinga lights up with pure, unbridled joy every time she or Max kicks one of them -- while Max cringes in horror. |
81 | * MeleeATrois: "So it's gladiators versus guards versus wizards versus Maccabees?" |
82 | * MondegreenGag: [[invoked]] Crow mishears Caedmon of Nogg as "Caveman Eggnog". |
83 | * MoneyDearBoy: [[invoked]] The first appearance of David Carradine's character prompts Crow to quip, "Ah, somebody had a house payment." |
84 | * NoBudget: [[invoked]] The last shot is of four copper coins. Jonah quips, "The film's actual budget." |
85 | * NoYay: Crow has this to say during the final host segment:%%InUniverse |
86 | -->'''Crow:''' What about when all the heroes start kissing at the end, and you thought for just one moment that Caedmon and Tyor might start kissing, too?\ |
87 | '''Jonah:''' Ugh, my stomach. |
88 | * NoodleIncident: |
89 | -->'''Max:''' You'll have to groom me in person someday, Professor Bobo, as long as you don't bite off my face.\ |
90 | '''Bobo:''' Ahh... I've learned not to promise that. ''[chuckles]'' |
91 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: The fight between the Dark One and the Protector, which was cut from this version of the movie. |
92 | -->'''Ardy:''' Actually pretty cool. Maybe could have saved the whole movie. Sorry about that. |
93 | * TheOner: Mocked during the long, long, long scene of [[MsFanservice Amathea]] stalking deer, [[MaleGaze walking uphill, away from the camera]], in her {{Stripperiffic}} miniskirt (which is most likely the reason for the whole scene in the first place). |
94 | -->'''Tom:''' An experienced director has the confidence to stay with the scene, even with a single shot, when the situation really calls for it. |
95 | * RecycledSet: [[invoked]] Tom Servo notes that the interior of Zarz's castle looks remarkably like the interior of Donar's castle. "Now this is a castle hallway we definitely haven't seen before." |
96 | * {{Robosexual}}: Kinga considers marrying one of the robots before she considers marrying Jonah. Bobo has to remind her that it's still not legal. |
97 | * RunningGag: ''Literally'' running, too: Jonah and the bots point out the numerous times that Tyor runs or walks weird. |
98 | -->'''Crow:''' Could you move like a human, kid! Just once! |
99 | * RussianReversal: As a pig-demon attacks: "In Lost Kingdom, ham spiral-cuts ''you''!" |
100 | * ScoobyDoobyDoors: A chase scene features a doorway connecting two parallel hallways, with mooks running back and forth in each. "Oh, we've wandered into a Scooby-Doo chase scene." |
101 | * TheScrappy: InUniverse, Jonah's reaction to Tyor and Caedmon: "Guys, I never thought I'd miss Simon and Kor so badly." |
102 | -->'''Crow:''' Can somebody magically transform their hand into a fist and just punch [Tyor] already? |
103 | * ShoutOut: |
104 | ** An extended one involving a comedy book by the great wizard [[Creator/JeffFoxworthy Caedmon Worth-a-Fox]], founder of the [[Series/BlueCollarComedy Blue Cauldron Comedy Tour]]. Also probably a TakeThat, given the divisive nature of what they're referencing and lackluster nature of the "You Might Be A Crummy Wizard If..." jokes. |
105 | ** Tyor is being chased by guards, who fall all over themselves. Jonah and the bots supply a [[Film/TheBluesBrothers "HUT HUT HUT"]]. |
106 | ** [[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap "Nigel Tufnel? They've got all of Spinal Tap down there!"]] |
107 | ** "You guys smash these pots, in case they have [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Rupees or hearts]]." |
108 | ** [[Music/OingoBoingo "The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo!"]] |
109 | ** At the sight of a big bald guy: [[Film/TheBeastOfYuccaFlats "Time for go to bed..."]] |
110 | |
111 | * StockFootage: The SOL crew pick up on the fact that all the large-scale battles are footage from other Roger Corman films. |
112 | -->'''Jonah:''' I'm starting to think this might be footage from another movie.\ |
113 | '''Crow:''' Why, because our actual protagonists are nowhere to be found, and Amathea's wearing different clothes? |
114 | * {{Stripperific}}: Upon seeing that Amathea fights in a leather miniskirt and bikini top: "You know, I question the practicality of her battle wear." |
115 | * SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: [[invoked]] Tom Servo's reaction to the ''opening titles'' is "This movie's already so much more awesomer than the first one!" |
116 | * TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: |
117 | -->'''Caedmon:''' Use your powers!\ |
118 | '''Jonah:''' Of persuasion! |
119 | * TemptingFate: During a host segment: |
120 | -->'''Crow:''' Jonah, do you feel like the Mads have been shortening our segments?\ |
121 | '''Jonah:''' Oh, why would you say that--\ |
122 | ''[Cut to Moon 13. The rest of the segment is about Kinga.]'' |
123 | * TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard: |
124 | -->'''Vanir:''' You must travel on, Tyor of Eedok.\ |
125 | '''Crow:''' Grower of Turnips, Annoyer of Audiences, Maker of Chickens.\ |
126 | '''Servo:''' Going Through-er of Awkward Stages, Speaker of Gibberish, Looker-At of Bottoms.\ |
127 | '''Jonah:''' Screwup in Extraordinary to their Royal Majesties, Whatever Their Names Were. |
128 | * UncertainAudience:[[invoked]] {{Lampshade|Hanging}}ed, as the bots get confused by the presence of a FamilyFriendlyStripper early in the movie. |
129 | -->'''Crow:''' So who exactly was the intended audience for this scene?\ |
130 | '''Servo:''' Oh, you know--shut-ins, dogs in front of the TV that were accidentally left on. |
131 | * UglyGuyHotWife: Kinga's logic for marrying Jonah. "But wait, a beautiful, sarcastic woman married to a big oaf. Oh, whoa! That is TV gold!" |
132 | * WithCatlikeTread: "Clomp! Clomp! I'm stealthy!" |
133 | |
134 | ---- |
135 | ->''[[TheStinger Tyor's bicep grows.]]'' [[TheStinger "Wow!" "It's actually not looking that bad."]] ''[[TheStinger Tyor throws sword.]]'' |
