YMMV / Mystery Science Theater 3000 S04 E03: City Limits

• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • In response to the "Fifteen years from now" caption at the start, Tom cracks "Dick Clark will still look the same!" The episode aired in 1992; in 2004, Dick Clark had a stroke that caused partial paralysis.
  • The shootout at the Sunya headquarters during the climax gets riffed as being what happens between classes at inner-city schools. Come the Late-New '10s, mass school shootings have become an increasingly common tragedy in the United States.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Season 12 reveals that Dr. Forrester eventually hooked up with Kim Catrall, and Kinga is their daughter.
  • The riff from Joel of "Someday this'll all be ours. Oh wait, it already is" is funny when you consider that James Earl Jones, aka Mufasa, is in this movie.
  • The joke about "Madea" and "MadeaMan" takes on a whole new meaning to modern moviegoers.
• Unintentional Period Piece: The episode piles onto Kim Cattrall for being a has-been whose glory days are far behind her. A few years later came her Career Resurrection in Sex and the City.
