5
6	''[=MST3K=]'' had planned to air the third of the ''Master Ninja'' movies in the sixth season; unfortunately, the plans fell through due to Frank Conniff leaving the show by that time, and they aired ''Film/SamsonVsTheVampireWomen'' instead.
7
8	The episode is available in the Gizmoplex [[https://www.gizmoplex.com/mst3k/season:3/videos/mst3k-071-masterninjaii here]], and on the [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 [=MST3k=]]] [=YouTube=] channel [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SZrvOCYXP8 here]].
9	!!The Segments:
10
11	[[AC:Prologue]]
12	* Joel and the 'Bots become an improv troupe, with Gypsy as their audience. She gives them “Cream of wheat”, “Music/PeterGabriel”, and “Anger” as less-than-helpful suggestions. [[note]]Especially as those are supposed to be a location, an action, and a person, respectively.[[/note]]
13
14	[[AC:Segment 1/Invention Exchange]]
15	* The Mads present the Conveyor Belt Buffet, which is a little too similar to a certain ''[[Series/ILoveLucy Lucy]]'' sketch. Joel and the Bots have created Gerbilsphere 2, a self-sustaining habitat for small pet rodents that's discovered to have flaws. Namely the fact that the gerbil's dead.
16
17	[[AC:Segment 2]]
18	* Tom, Crow, and Gypsy show off ideas for their own custom vans.
19
20	[[AC:Segment 3]]
21	* Crow becomes General Timothy Van Patten, ranting incoherently in a Creator/GeorgeCScott impression.
22
23	[[AC:Segment 4]]
24	* Tom acknowledges that a hamster isn’t the right pet for Timothy Van Patten, so he goes on to match numerous fictional detectives and crime-fighters with their ideal animal companions.
25
26	[[AC:Segment 5]]
27	* Joel and the Bots play with a Creator/LeeVanCleef dress up doll and read a letter. In Deep 13, Frank encourages the viewers to petition Creator/{{ABC}} to put ''The Second Hundred Years'' back on the air. It ends with Dr. F killing him again.
28
29
30	!!The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation of ''[[Series/MasterNinja Master Ninja II]]'' contains the following tropes:
31	* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Due to a [[DeletedScene scene cut out of the riffed edit of the movie]], and one of the worst examples in the season[[labelnote:*]]which already had heavy editing done to ''Mighty Jack'' and ''Time of the Apes'' before it[[/labelnote]], with the entire first part of the film's second half (the opening to episode 4 of the series) involving the GirlOfTheWeek's car being out of control, with Max having to rescue her via a glider, largely cut out.[[note]][[DownplayedExample Although,]] the amount of missing context really only amounts to a minute or two: the episode opened on Max flying around in the plane as part of his training, and happened to notice the car going out of control as he was about to land.[[/note]]
32	-->'''Joel''': (after the abrupt start to the scene; confused) What’re we in the middle of?!
33	-->'''Tom''': (confused) ''What’s this?!''
34	* HoYay: In-universe, at the end of the second host segment, Tom complains about Crow accidentally hitting him with his riding crop in panic at the Movie Sign. Crow replies with "Ah, you love it, you know you do."
35	* ObviousStuntDouble: As with the first "film", the guys have a ball noting that whenever "Van Cleef" dons his full face-covering mask, he suddenly becomes at least twenty pounds lighter and much more athletic.
36	* {{Pun}}:
37	** "Remember, have your ninja spade."
38	** Crow makes a series of these during the fight in the cemetery in the voice of [[Series/TalesFromTheCrypt the Cryptkeeper]]. He is eventually [[OverlyLongGag told to stop by Joel]].
39	** Joel, who usually refrains from them himself, gets one in himself when Max drops the GirlOfTheWeek from a glider for [=MacAllister=] to catch.
40	--->'''Joel:''' She's a real blonde bombshell.
41	* ShoutOut: During the final showdown in the cemetery, Crow makes several {{Pun}}s in the voice of [[Series/TalesFromTheCrypt the Cryptkeeper]].
42	* TeamPet: In one sketch, Tom insists that the hamster is the wrong type of pet for Timothy Van Patten, comparing it to other TV detectives and their pets, and then suggests fitting pets for both Timothy ("A mandrill?") and other detectives.
43	-->'''Crow:''' Err... Series/{{Bat Masterson\|1958}}.\
44	'''Servo:''' Penguin. All of your 19th-century Western detectives would have penguins. But there ''may'' be a few puffins thrown in, so be sure to ask me about each one.
45	** He eventually concludes that UsefulNotes/CharlesDarwin would have a howler monkey [[HollywoodEvolution that would eventually evolve into "his wisecracking partner, Blake"]], but Crow trips him up by noting that Darwin wasn't fictional or a detective.
46	* TheyKilledKennyAgain: TV's Frank gets his skull crushed by an anvil.
47	* TheUnintelligible: Many jokes about Timothy Van Patten being one of these, especially the "General Timothy Van Film/{{Patton}}" sketch.
48	-->'''Crow:''' (George C. Scott impression) "Now, I want you to remember that no babbister ever (Timothy Van Patten impression) wub a waa by dibbing fuh hibs cubbidy."
49	* JustForFun/YouKnowThatGuy: Invoked. The crew actually cheer when they see that the FBI chief is being played by that regular guest star of 1970s-'80s TV shows, veteran actor...
50	-->'''Crow''': Creator/MonteMarkham, YES!
51	-->'''Tom''': Who-hoo!
52	-->'''Joel''': All right!
53	-->'''Tom''': We love Monte!
54	** TV's Frank gets excited for seeing Monte Markham as well and spends the final sketch asking the viewers to push for a revival of Markham's show ''The Second Hundred Years''. Dr. Forrester doesn't share his sentiments and kills Frank with an anvil to the head.
