History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E05StrandedInSpace

* CallBack: The turtle Joel is carrying in one host segment is named [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E02Gamera Tibby]].

* BaitAndSwitchCredits: The [=MST3K=] version, like ''Film/PodPeople'' before it, has credits with scenes from [[Film/PrisonersOfTheLostUniverse a completely unrelated movie]]. The closing credits were similarly redressed. The real opening credits take place with our hero's ship in space as a background, while the proper closing credits come up over a freezeframe of Stryker on the beach where he winds up at the end of the movie.
** HilariousInHindsight: Podcast/RiffTrax would riff ''Film/PrisonersOfTheLostUniverse'' many years later.

* Joel is an evil executive who orders Tom and Crow to take care of the problems threatening his criminal empire. His use of euphemisms confuses his henchmen. Evil laughter galore.

* FramingDevice: The prologue is notable as probably the show's only real attempt at an InUniverse explanation for why we're able to watch Joel and the Bots in the theater. In recapping the premise, Joel says that Mads are subjecting them to the movies, recording them while they watch them, then selling the video to a cable TV network. He also reveals that the Mads made the opening.

* Both sides offer similar inventions riffing on the classic BangFlagGun -- Joel with a "Kaboom!" Uzzi, "Sloink!" knife and "Kachow!" dynamite, and Dr. Forrester with a "Slunk!" harpoon gun, "Klunk!"/"Whssh!" nunchuks and "Boingee Banga Ka Bonga!" TNT plunger.

* DeadlyEuphamism: The fourth host segment features Joel using these in relation to a bunch of Seventies cops and private eyes. It takes a bit for Crow and Tom Servo to catch on.
