Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S05/E05 The Magic Voyage of Sinbad
Film watched: Sadko aka The Magical Voyage of Sinbad
Among other things, the MST3k crew lampshaded the fact that the allegedly Middle Eastern (in the English dub) characters all looked suspiciously European:
 |
Servo: You know, guys, this doesn't seem like Persia, and that's probably not even Sinbad! |
 |
(In the various host segments, everyone takes a turn being the one to point out "He's not Sinbad!", only to be ignored by everyone else.)
The MST3k treatment provides examples of:
- Nightmare Fuel: In-Universe, the Channel Cat to Tom and Crow.
- Award Snub: Invoked: "Best performance by a red, gumball-machine-looking robot in a funny situation". And the award goes to... Crow.
- Call Back: Mr. B Natural Practice. You probably don't want to know.
- If You Die, I Call Your Stuff: "If you're gonna die out there in the cold void of space, can I have that Toblerone you've been hiding under your bed?"
- My Friends and Zoidberg
- The Quest: Crow, inspired by the film, goes off on one of these. He doesn't get very far.
