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

135	->''[[TheStinger Tyor's bicep grows.]]'' [[TheStinger "Wow!" "It's actually not looking that bad."]] ''[[TheStinger Tyor throws sword.]]''
