For the rights-conscious, Rhino has included this on the back: "Underlying rights to Women Of The Prehistoric Planet under license from Krypton International Films, Inc. "Underlying rights to Wild Rebels under license from Crown International Pictures, Inc. "Underlying rights to The Sinister Urge under license from Sinister Cinema, Inc. "Underlying rights to The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies under license from Media Blasters, Inc."
Hmmm... Wonder how long it will be till we see...
Underlying rights to Godzilla vs. Megalon under license from Toho Inc.
or...
Underlying rights to Gamera under license from Sandy Frank......

I don't know if this is a screw-up...but since Rhino apparently got Wild Rebels under liscense, I think the copy of the film they got was TOO good.
Like, during the credits, the red font was BARELY readable(and Joel and the bots joke about this). But now on the DVD, its clear as day. So...it kind of ruins the joke.
*shrug*

I didn't think the red credits were easy to read. The contrast of the bright red against the bright blue background made it hard to read. It was sort of like those color-blindness tests for eye exams. I think that's what they were joking about.

yeah. this set is so nice i feel bad for mocking those who complained in the past. I don't. I still want my copy of Dead Talk Back replaced and the return of missing bits from I Accuse My Parents, "The Home Economics Story", "Mr. B Natural" and others. right. in the past i've mocked people who complain over everything except for the killer shrews bit because it always seemed silly to me to complain over something minor that never threatened my overall enjoyment of a show. i was just saying I feel bad for mocking those people because perhaps their anger actually got through to Rhino. I mean, I didn't even notice other episodes with missing footage as you've pointed out. Is there a thread that details all such instances?

Ok I think alot of people got confused by the triple negative I get what you're saying now. Yes, righteous anger is great every once in a while. Now the debate remains -- do we write in and thank them for a flawless set (and a few neat, if bizarre, extras)?

That's an excellent idea, ern! Folks are quick to complain but slow to compliment. By all means, satisfied customers should share their satisfaction. Let's give Rhino the carrot and the stick treatment, right?

So where are you going to stick the carrot?

So where are you going to stick the carrot? I know where I'd like to stick it. Seriously, thou....am I the only one grossed out by the picture on the disc of Prehistoric PlanetNot just because I lost both my parents to smoking but because ashtrays have grossed me out since I was a kid... What's next...a picture taken looking straight down on an unflushed toilet?

What's next...a picture taken looking straight down on an unflushed toilet? I would say that the ash-tray concept would be better suited to Fire Maidens of Outer Space, where there's open smoking in an oxygen-rich environment. I thought the birth control thing was also a bit oblique but still funny. Unflushed toilet -- for some reason this makes me think of the Incredible Melting Man...

Ahem...
I think we may have congratulated Rhino too soon....
Or maybe I'm the only one with a glitch on The Sinister Urge?
At the beginning of chapter 10 (Rumble!)....just before and when Servo says, "Hi, I'm running for Porn Queen..."
I didn't notice it before. I must have been looking away. Am I the only one who has this problem?
And why....WHY...do these Rhino glitches ALWAYS happen during the movies? Never during the host segments or the little commercial bumpers? Makes me really wonder if these are really tape problems.

I noticed it that first night but I didn't mention it here in the forum. It looks like a tape glitch, to me. Didn't really bother me though, at all.
Those tapes probably don't have the same storage priority that say the Johnny Carson era "The Tonight Show" tapes do, buried beneath the earth in some salt mine in the middle of nowhere.
Which begs the question, where are the MST3K episodes kept, anyway?
