Jack Frost was on Twitch last night. I thought of you the minute I heard "Mike Nelson IS Lord of the Dance!"

Morozco is also on YouTube uncut with subtitles. I downloaded it a few years ago but I have, of course, not watched it yet, probably because I would have to pay attention to it. It's a much better print than the one they riffed. I just checked and it's still there.
Sometimes if I really enjoy the MST3K version I will seek out the uncut movie. I've even watched the uncut Skydivers that came on the Rhino Volume 1 multiple times. Moon Zero Two is available on YouTube, and is also on Amazon Prime Video to either buy or rent. I bought it for $4.99. The DVD is available for $9.99. A plot point cut from the riffed version is that Kemp and Liz, aka The Gator Headed Chick, were romantically involved and kind of have a love scene, or at least an attempt for one on her part. I also snagged The Sinister Urge from YouTube some time ago but it doesn't seem to be there anymore. Most of those cuts are for nudity. Secret Agent Super Dragon is on YouTube. The running time is about the same as an episode so probably not a whole lot was cut unless this version was cut first. I of course haven't watched it yet so it's possible. I found the Mexican Santa Claus on DVD at Sam's Club maybe 10 or so years ago. I assume it's uncut but haven't watched that either. That's probably because it's the only MSTed movie I ever saw in a theater and since I was a small child at the time I was probably scarred for life by it. My Mom dragged me and my little brother to a local theater to see it when I was 3 or 4. Possibly both, because I think it may have been two years in a row. I could never figure out as I got older why I would occasionally get a memory flash of dancing devils, a falling flower, and giant red lips on a wall. That remained a mystery until I watched the premiere of the episode and I suddenly started getting 60s flashbacks for different reasons than most people get them. I also have a cheap 50-movie boxed set that has a few MSTed movies on it, including Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. I did watch that one and survived Droppo uncut. There are other titles I would like to see uncut but either I couldn't find them or I haven't looked.

Yeah, I just found it on YouTube and added a link to the article, I also had to go back and unpublish it for a spell because I was finding all kinds of conflicting info on who played and voiced Father Mushroom. I had to do a bit of search and study, translate some Russian sites, and post a re-write... but just who 'Shroom was, is still a mystery. But my primary interest, Inna Churikova, all that stuff was fine and is still the heart of the piece. I too have watched a bunch of MST movies uncut, like Skydivers, phew, that was a chore, fans who complain about cuts don't know what a favor MST did for us. There's a scene of skydiving, followed up by another scene of skydiving, followed by... yet another scene of freakin skydiving!On the other hand, Teenagers From Outer Space was actually pretty decent uncut, and had several riffable scenes that were lost, that also filled out the story and characters. Rhino offered a couple of MST DVDs with the full movie, I watched Eegah and I think Beginning of the End that way. And of course, being a Hammer fan, I've seen Moon, Zero, Two sans riffing. @ Torgo, lol - I'm wondering if when I'm gone, some of the long-time, original forum members will catch a bit of Frost, and think of me.

I've been collecting some unriffed movies on blu-ray lately. Watching them raw is a pretty worthwhile experience in some cases. If nothing else it's interesting. Devil Fish is a completely bizarre edit on the show that from my understanding came from an old video release. Watching the original film was a bizarre experience, because not only did the editing make sense, several sequences were out of order in the MST version. The prologue from the MST version with the couple on the boat actually comes from the midsection of the movie! It's the big reveal of that the Devil Fish has tentacles! Bumping it to the beginning completely botched the slow reveal that this thing is a mutation!
The movie is still crap, but that edit on the show is a worse hack job than I ever realized.

The talk about uncut movies made me remember something about your old forum. Didn't you have a section there where you supplied riffs for some of the cut scenes? Or was that on the blog? Was it even you? I poked around on the current incarnation of the forum but couldn't find it. It would help if I remembered what it was called.

The mst3d cut of Hobgoblin's completely cut out McCreedy's boss. They had a couple more scenes of shorts guy on the sex line and an after credits scene with Fantasia(hence the please be seated til the movie's over card) Also goes without saying THERE WAS NO ROBOT SCENE(seriously IMDB check your sources).

And they didn't make the move from the Yahoo site to the blog, along with a few other things. But they are saved on a flashdrive, somewhere. I think I called it MST Uncut, and some of my riffs were cute and make me smile, others make me wince in pain from the memory of them (move along, nothing to see here folks, I am not a professional comedian). But it was interesting to break down the movie and see what was lost. I did Painted Hills, Village of the Giants, Brain That Wouldn't or Couldn't Die, and a few of those flicks I mentioned above

I made a list a while back of what movies I had copies of unriffed. Just dug it out for funzies (also added a few onto it since then):
I'm thinking about adding unriffed movie notes onto my site as well.
That reminds me, apparently Vinegar Syndrome just released a Blu-ray of Alien from LA. I'm thinking of putting the money down on it.

I used to do those fictional MST seasons too, where I'd build a season out of movies I thought would go well with the show. Eventually with the Film Crew, then Rifftrax, and CT on the scene they made those articles obsolete - and over the years a lot of those movies have been covered by someone, even MST, which I never envisioned returning (Reptilicus was one of my picks).
(It still makes me smile when they do one of those, Hideous Sun Demon, Revenge of Dr. X, Frankensteins Daughter, etc. Not long ago I found a wishlist for Season 15, which never got beyond that first stage, but T-Bird Gang was on it, which the Mads just did a few months back)
EDIT - and some of what classic MST did I'd seen as a kid. I remember going to the Drive-In with the family to see The Green Slime.

Those were good lists you made for mythical seasons. Introduced me to Nukie and Monster Dog(which to its credit had one good Cooper song)

Thanks - and a lot of helpful, generous forum members started helping with those, a few even sent me discs - Gary was so cool, I recall finding a package in my mailbox full of B-movies he burned to DVD for Mythic Season consideration. What a nice fanbase MST has.

What's the story on this? Bootleg? Don't know. I found it on YouTube. Oh I know that channel! I don't know what its deal is, but I've seen it floating around. The subtitles might be a way around copyright bots somehow. I have copies of Leech Woman on a Universal Sci-Fi DVD box set and Shout's recent blu-ray, so I thought it was curious you had a copy like that when the official ones are clean, but that makes sense.
