The episode is available in the Gizmoplex [[https://www.gizmoplex.com/mst3k/season:5/videos/mst3k-099-secretagentsuperdragon here]].

!!The Segments:
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: Prologue ]]

* Crow and Servo have built a wind-up toy robot they've named "Minsky". He walks, he talks... and that's about the extent of what he does.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 1 ]]

* After almost smashing Minsky, Joel takes the concept of miniature golf and shrinks it down to microscopic size with Micro-Golf. Frank shows off his comedic chops with Virtual Comedy, which goes great until Dr. Forrester sabotages it with drunken hecklers.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 2 ]]

* The 'Bots put on a jazzy rendition of the ''Secret Agent Super Dragon'' theme song. Joel gets a little too deep into improvising his own lyrics.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 3 ]]

* Crow pens ''The Spy Who Hugged Me'', a super spy story written with tons of 90s sensibilities. Tom can't stand the lack of action and promptly bails.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 4 ]]

* As Joel demonstrates, a vital talent of any secret agent is knowing the right one-liner for a successful kill.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 5 ]]

* Dr. Forrester hosts his first Supervillain Symposium, explaining what it takes to become a proper world-conquering madman. Bored by it all, the SOL crew weaponizes the usual SignOffCatchphrase to dupe Dr. F and Frank into ending the seminar early.

!!The [=MST3K=] presentation of ''Film/SecretAgentSuperDragon'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Anyone who has seen this film only as an [=MST3k=] episode might wonder over the film's ending, wherein Super Dragon informs the villain he has already photographed the formula for the film's McGuffin in the villain's office. Since his visit to said office occurs early in the film, why did he have to go through the whole adventure? The answer: He's not talking about the villain's office in the art gallery ("You got any '''art''' here?") but to a deleted scene, in the villain's office in the chemical plant where the drug is made (the place with the [[Series/TheManFromUNCLE Man From UNCLE]]-esque hallway); see OutGambitted on the film's main page for how that works out.
* BatterUp: In the time between the start of the first commercial break, and the start of the Invention Exchange, Joel had gotten so fed up with Minsky that he grabbed a baseball bat and began egging it on as if he's in ''Film/TheWarriors''.
* BondOneLiner: Joel educates the bots on the concept of the "post-kill pun".
-->'''Servo:''' Ironically, ''death'' softens the blow of the pun!
* BrokenRecord: Crow and Tom's preferred version of the "Secret Agent Super Dragon" theme:
-->'''Tom:''' ''(jazz riff)'' ''Secret Agent!'' ''(trumpet; jazz riff)'' ''Super Dragon!'' ''(trumpet)'' Take it, Crow!\\
'''Crow:''' ''(jazz riff)'' ''Secret Agent!'' ''(trumpet; jazz riff)'' ''Super Dragon!'' ''(trumpet)''
* CatchPhrase: Minsky, ad infinitum:
-->'''Minsky:''' I am the atomic-powered robot. Please give my best wishes to everybody!
* ImplausibleDeniability: Despite the fact that Crow and Tom walked in while he was ''very clearly'' trying to smash Minsky with a bat, Joel still has the gall to pretend he wasn't doing anything:
-->'''Crow:''' ''(as he and Tom enter; to Joel)'' How you two gettin' along in ther- ''(Joel tosses the bat behind him)'' ''[[DelayedReaction HEY!]]'' ''(stammers angrily; to Tom)'' Did ya see-\\
'''Joel:''' ''Nothing!'' Noth-\\
'''Tom:''' ''Oh, you were, too!''\\
'''Joel:''' No!\\
'''Crow:''' ''(disappointed)'' ''Joel''...
** And then Joel uses the excuse of the Mads calling to blatantly elbow Minsky off of the table so he can press the button.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Involving drugged chewing gum in the film, and the goofiness is rolled with.
-->'''Super Dragon:''' ''(shows Ross, the [[strike:drugstore]] bowling alley owner, part of his "special" gum stash)'' Now, uh, what's ''this''?\\
'''Ross:''' Nothing! It's just a... different brand, that's all! ''(Super Dragon backhands him)''\\
'''Servo:''' ''(as Super Dragon)'' You're working for the ''Wrigley'' company, aren't you!\\
''(later, as Super Dragon tries to force-feed Ross a stick of the gum)''\\
'''Joel:''' ''(as Ross)'' No! No! I've got dental work!
* KickTheDog: After noticing that Frank's "Virtual Comedy" simulation is going a ''bit'' too well, Dr. Forrester decides to program in some drunken hecklers. Cue Frank's act crashing and burning.
-->'''[[Creator/MikeNelson Heckler]]:''' You're not funny!\\
* {{Leitmotif}}: Well, not really; but there's a little musical motif used prominently in one scene, not so prominently in another, and this is the basis of Servo's Super Dragon Theme (see below).
* PoliticalOvercorrectness: Crow tries his hand at scriptwriting again with the psycho-babblicious ''The Spy Who Hugged Me''...
-->'''Joel ([[FemmeFatale Holly Affirmations]]):''' You understand, Mr. Wyndam-Hill, that [[DatingCatwoman even though we are sharing a sexual tension between us]]... I must kill you.\\
'''Servo ([[TuxedoAndMartini Sandy Wyndam-Hill]]):''' Um, Holly, thank you for being honest. Let me say that I think you're a really terrific, dynamite lady, but right now I'm in a committed relationship with (breaking character) someone who's very special to me?! I don't believe this...\\
...\\
'''Joel ([[BigBad Gary Diabolique]]):''' You don't get it, do you, you stupid moron idiot! ''I'' am going to control how people respond to me! '''I''' am going to '''[[TakeOverTheWorld rule the world!]]'''\\
'''Servo:''' Gary, that's really co-dependent — ''(breaks character)'' I can't believe I just said "co-dependent"!
* RightHandCat: According to Dr. Forrester's Supervillain Symposium, every supervillain must have a strange or exotic animal.
* RobotBuddy: Crow and Servo build "Minsky", a little robot with an annoyingly repetitive CatchPhrase and no off switch. Joel is not amused.
** Years later, they'll get their comeuppance when Mike will build a blue robot which Servo and Crow think is cool, til... '''DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY!'''
* RunningGag:
** Super Dragon's habit of snatching cigarettes right out of other characters' mouths:
--->'''Crow:''' Secret Agent Super ''Rude'', if you ask me!
** The ongoing subtext that Super Dragon's cover story is as transparent as window glass:
--->'''Crow:''' ''(as side character, reading Brian Cooper's business card)'' Hey, "Secret Agent" is crossed out and "Lawyer" is written in!
** Super Dragon [[FailedASpotCheck Failing his Spot Check]]:
--->'''Servo:''' ''(as Super Dragon, in the BigBad's lavishly decorated office)'' Um, you got any ''art'' here?
** Whenever any character says the name of the BigBad, Lamas, Joel and the 'Bots immediately ask: "Creator/{{Fernando|Lamas}} or Creator/{{Lorenzo|Lamas}}?"
* SeriousBusiness: Downplayed: Joel and the bots are clearly more interested in their game of Micro-Golf than what Dr. F is saying, even to the point of [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu shushing]] him.
* ShoutOut:
** Servo's pronunciation of Chi-Chi Rodriguez as "Chai-Chai Rodrigweez" during the Invention Exchange is a nod to ''Series/WKRPInCincinnati''.
** "Hope this isn't like a Creator/JohnWaters film and [[Film/PinkFlamingos they lick all the furniture]]."
* SigningOffCatchPhrase: The usual one is ''weaponized'' to make the Supervillain Symposium end:
-->'''Joel:''' Well, the only thing we wanted to ask, and I think we're all in agreement on this, is: ''(with Crow and Tom)'' What do you think, sirs?\\
'''Dr. F:''' ''(as Frank stirs awake)'' Good question... Push the button, Frank. (Frank bolts out of his chair, rushes over to push the button) ...[[DamnYouMuscleMemory what the-]] ''[[DamnYouMuscleMemory hey]]''!
* VerbThis: Tom's response to Crow's screenplay.
-->'''Servo:''' For God's sake, man! I want to [[TuxedoAndMartini drink martinis in Istanbul]], and utter glib bon mots in Moscow, and drive with my feet while escaping thugs in Monte Carlo, and meet [[WaxingLyrical girls in Ipanema]] -- the kinds of things a super-secret super-spy is ''supposed'' to do!\\
'''Crow:''' I support you owning those feelings.\\
'''Servo:''' Yeah, support this.
* WarmWaterWhiz: While giving his lecture at the end of the episode, Dr. F takes the time to quietly place Frank's hand into a coffee cup full of water after noticing he fell asleep.
* WeirdTradeUnion: implied during Dr. Forrester's Supervillain Symposium, when he notes that a supervillain is, in essence, a small-business owner.
** {{Foreshadowing}}: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S10E02GirlInGoldBoots Six years later]], Pearl Forrester finds out she has to belong to the Institute of Mad Scientists if she wants to rule the world, which is treated like a business alliance.
* WhatTheHellHero: Comments frequently call out Super Dragon on his aforementioned JerkAss qualities, particularly during the CyanidePill scene.
-->'''Tom:''' ''(as Super Dragon)'' [[AllForNothing So, you’re killing yourself for nothing!]] ''[[UnsportsmanlikeGloating Neh-neh-neh-neh-neh-neh!]]''\\
'''Joel:''' What a ''jerk''. He just wanted to get the guy's goat right before he died.
