Trivia / Mystery Science Theater 3000 S06 E19: Red Zone Cuba

• Creator Breakdown: Almost prompted one. Michael J. Nelson (the writer, not the character) has gone on record saying that watching this movie for the purpose of writing the episode was actively painful and the closest he came to quitting the show altogether. It exacerbated his chronic headache pain, and was the first time he really asked himself: "Why am I doing this?"
  • Likewise, in a filmed introduction for the episode as sold by Rifftrax, Kevin Murphy states flat out that he hates this movie and is unenthusiastic (at best) about introducing it, though he acknowledges it's a fan favorite and is just glad that the fans can see something worthwhile in this episode, even if he can't.
