Recap: Mystery Science Theater 3000 S 05 E 11 The Gunslinger
Film watched: Gunslinger

The MST3K presentation contains examples of:

  • Anachronism Stew: Debatable, but routinely lampshaded by the crew:
    Servo: (looking at an old farming device) What is that thing?
    Crow: Whatever it was, it wasn't invented, yet.
  • Deep Fried Whatever: The 'bots deep-fry the fan mail.
  • The Fun in Funeral: During one of the host segments, Joel and the bots get to experience death... or what it feels like to be in a casket. After a moment contemplating what death would be like, they start describing how they want their funerals to be like - Crow's and Tom's are really fun.
  • Offscreen Teleportation: Tom Servo explains that the examples of this trope in the film are examples of applied "quantum superposition". He thoroughly demonstrates it for Joel and Crow.
    • The movie is flat-out incorporating the fact that the town is just a bunch of false fronts in a few gunfights by the end: They Just Didn't Care.
  • Running Gag: Fridge Logic from a Special Effect Failure (the door to Cane's room at the saloon opens the wrong way) leads to the conclusion that Cane's staying in the hallway. Hilarity Ensues.
  • Scream Discretion Shot
    Servo: (as Rose's replacement, Sam Bass) Hey lady, you forgot to tell me where the—OH MY GOD!! AAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!


"Don't bother going back to town; I want you out of the state tonight!" "What about our clothes??"
