Trivia / Mystery Science Theater 3000 S02 E12: Godzilla vs. Megalon

• Keep Circulating the Tapes: This episode was initially released in the Volume 10 set from Rhino home video, but was pulled almost immediately when it turned out they hadn't properly secured the rights. They later released a version that had the Godzilla episode replaced with The Giant Gila Monster, and made that episode available to those who already had the original set. This version was called "10.2", and featured a reunion video where Dr. Forrester chews out TV's Frank for not properly securing the rights to the "Japanese Giant Lizard Monster Movie" (while instructing those who had the original box set on how to "dispose" of the offending DVD and insert the replacement into the set). Frank ends up making things worse for himself when he incorrectly announces that the replacement DVD is Star Wars.
  TV's Frank: Hey, it's not my fault, I don't speak Japanese. Toho said "no-ho", and I thought they meant "yes"!
  • You Wanna Get Sued?: During the reunion movie, everyone conspicuously avoids saying "Godzilla Vs Megalon". Dr. Forrester opts for "Japanese Giant Lizard Monster Movie", while both Frank and Joel just refer to "(mumble) Vs. (unintelligible)".
• Screwed by the Lawyers: Narrowly averted (well, not in that way): In the Amazing Colossal Episode Guide, the Brains' attorney told them that the Orville Redenbacher sketch would put them in a lawsuit. The Brains then made an alternate version, this time as Orville Popcorn. They were still sue-able, but the original sketch eventually aired as is.
