Puma Man, because Vadinho will be there to kick Ator's ass while Puma Man is jumping around in the background and running through walls for no reason whatsoever.

I get the feeling that the final host segment for Undead was due to short length of the movie (71 mintues). There's a section in the ACEG where they talk about how they'd sometimes have to stretch out the length of the final host segment to make up for a movie that ran too short.
This is probably an episode that was hurt the most by the Sci-Fi Channel's early "no shorts" rule. Could you imagine if instead that insanely long final segment, there was, say, the Gumby short or the Spring Fever short at the beginning?

A year or two ago, one of the premium channels (Cinemax, I think) showed The Incredible Melting Man. Seeing the girl from Laserblast topless was the only significant difference I remember.

Judging by its box office performance, I think "The Island" is handling that on its own.

Wow, that's strange. It's such a weird, random thing to lie about ("Hey, I know. I'll put references to a robot in the 'Goofs' section of 'Hobgoblins' IMDB entry. It will be hilarious!").

Is there an "Uncrippled version" of Hobgoblins I can lose my faith in man AND God over? In the "Goofs" section on the IMDB entry for "Hobgoblins", it mentions that there were scenes involving the old security guard releasing a robot (!) after the Hobgoblins get out. Apparently, the robot goes to Club Scum, and Road Rash tries to fight it to win Daphne's heart (!?!). I almost want to see the uncut version just to see those scenes. This may be a case where MST3K's edits actually made it a better movie...

I sometimes wonder how they can cut big parts of these movies and proceed to make fun of the crippled versions as if nothing had been removed. Doesn't seem very fair and as a viewer I'm always thinking what I might have missed between two scenes, usually the movies are already badly edited to begin with so it's hard to figure out what's "intentional" and what's not. How often did they actually make fun of a movie due to MST's edits? I know the biggest example is "Mitchell", where, supposedly, the uncut version of the movie is far less confusing, and explains what happens to characters that seemed to just vanish in the MST version (which was a TV version which was cut down even further for the show). I guess you could also count "Final Justice", where they make fun of the swear words being muted. Or even the "teleportation" in "Girl in Gold Boots" which was a home video transfer error (which is corrected in the DVD release of it). But in regards to Soultaker, I haven't seen the uncut version, so I don't know what this supposedly incredible speech the balding dude gives, but I can't see how it can be so good that it makes up for the rest of the movie (particularly the endless hospital sequence at the end). I think Soultaker had a interesting concept, but a pretty weak execution. In this case, I don't think MST made any "unfair" riffs due to their trimming.

The best one I can remember is that Linda Evans actually wrote "BASTARD" on Mitchell's windshield but they actually re-shot it with "JERK". Stuff like that just interests me. Additionally, I have most of the riffs memorized so I can riff on it while I watch the uncut versions; making it more bearable. I want this confirmed. If it's true, the uncut version I bought is a fake and merely a copy of the tv version. Which will make me pissed. Here's a mention (and a screen cap) of the "Bastard" in The Agony Booth write-up: www.agonybooth.com/mitchell/default.asp?Page=5Also, in the scene with the kid, they should be screaming "Piss Off!" at each other if it's the theatrical version, rather than "Buzz Off!". It should also have John Saxon's "death by dune buggy" scene.

The strange bowler-hat guy at the end of Deadly Bees, I finally figured out, appears at the start of the film, when two government officer guys talk about "some crazy fellow who claims to have killer bees." One of them, nearer the camera, says, "Do you think he really means it?" and the film cuts sharply to the "Byrds" singing on the Top Of The Pops Show. That fellow, my young friends, is the man sent to Seagull Island to check out the Deadly Bees story. Whoa! One of the most inexplicable MST3K movie moments explained (sort of).

Here's one I haven't seen mentioned yet - The Mole People. It's on its way to a happy ending, and then suddenly in the last minute, an earthquake happens, the girl spazzes out, runs under a falling column, and dies.
According to Daddy's Drive-In, the studio insisted on the filiming the new unhappy ending because they didn't want to imply an inter-racial relationship, which is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

I have every available episode, KTMA through Season 10 (plus a copy of The Movie taped from its recent showing on the Sundace Channel), except for The Hellcats and The Crawling Hand. With the recent Amazon price drop, I'll probably complete my collection soon.
I also have 4 SciFi Channel specials (Making Of, Gold Statue Preview, etc.) and the CC Making Of.
Aside from the two episodes mentioned above, I own every Rhino DVD release except for Collection 7,8, and 9. All my other episodes are .avi files burned on CD-R's that were downloaded from the DAP.

She must have really believed in the movie or though if she did a good job it would lead to better roles. Well, she did go on to the coveted role of "Myrtle" in "Bikini Hotel". I've always like this episode a lot. It's not necessarily in my personal Top 10, but it's always a lot of fun. It's kind of "comfort food" episode of MST3K for me; it's mostly (as mentioned before) silly, easy riffs, which makes it one I can put on if I need a quick mood-lightener, and don't want a pop-culture/obscure reference-heavy episode.
