VHS Movie Reviews of Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Cave Dwellers
Movie Review: "Tolkien couldn't follow this plot"
Summary: 5 Stars
"Cave Dwellers" has a hilariously inaccurate title,for the titular cave dwellers appear during the opening credits-then briefly later during the plot,such as it is. Joel and the 'bots take the "epic" for what it is---comic gold. It's one of the best MST3K episodes,because the movie is needlessly complicated-and stupid.
A medieval scientist with a dangerous weapon called the "geometric nucleus" sends his daughter Mila to the mighty Ator ("the dude looks like a lady") Ator is Miles O'Keefe,who likes admiring himself,working out&bears the Shield of Mordor (the Tolkien estate didn't bother suing this penny awful) Mila meets up with Ator&his Asian sidekick Thong. Their adventures are complicated-they have to fight a spider-worshipping cult,as well as briefly confront the cannibalistic cave dwellers. There are samurai,medieval warriors,and yes,the cave dwellers. Don't bother pinning down the time period.
"Cave Dwellers" is laughably bad. Back during a hard time in my life,I found this movie comfort food. It's so bad it's great!
Summary of Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Cave Dwellers
Joel and his robot friends, Tom Servo and Crow, are marooned on the derelict Satellite of Love and forced to watch horrendously lousy movies. In this episode, they're subjected to this inexplicably titled film--the subterranean denizens appear for all of two confusing minutes and add absolutely nothing to the plot. Not that there's much of a plot to add to. Miles O'Keefe stars as the warrior Ator, whose bare chest and loincloth prompt Crow to ask, "How much Keefe is in this movie?" Tom and Joel answer, "Miles O'Keefe." Ator, his buckskin-clad babe, and a scrawny martial-arts sidekick--? la Kato--try to save civilization (though no one appears to be too civilized) from a superweapon called--get this--a "Geometric Nucleus." "Why do they have such fancy names for stupid things?" wonders Crow. Even though Ator can't muster up a pair of pants, he does manage to construct a hang glider in five minutes from a bunch of sticks. On top of all that, the bad guy looks like some demented cross between Doug Henning and Sonny Bono and is just about as threatening. And the cut-rate, low-budget special effects inspire a hilarious rant from the boys. All of which makes for an MST3K classic. --Tod NelsonComedy VHS Video
