History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000TheMovie

** Zigzagged for all it's worth. Crow doesn't know why their credits would involve puppeteers, but of course they're still ''watching'' the credits to their own movie.

** Many, many references to ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', especially during the opening credits. In [[{{Homage}} the intro sequence]], there's Mike running around a giant hamster wheel rather than the huge rotating CentrifugalGravity section of the space station from ''2001'', and the closeup on Gypsy's eye is both a reference to CyberCyclops HAL 9000 (the TropeCodifier) and a {{Callback}} to ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E12Mitchell Mitchell]]''.

* CaptainOblivious: As the S.O.L. experiences ExplosiveDecompression:

* DidntThinkThisThrough: When Crow pickaxes his way through the hull and ContinuousDecompression threatens to suck them all into space, he asks for the blueprints to his plan -- meaning he actually ''[[SubvertedTrope did]]'' [[SubvertedTrope think this through]], just... [[DoubleSubverted not well enough]]. Once the paper flies into his face:
-->'''Crow:''' Thank you! Oh well, [[FailedASpotCheck look at that]], "Breach hull, all die!" [[TooDumbToLive Even had it underlined!]]

* BrickJoke: The original ending had Crow returning to trying to tunnel out of the satellite, this time with the chainsaw he found in Servo's room. This had to be cut because the focus groups found the original ending too long.

* PublicDomanSoundtrack: Gypsy sings "Drunken Sailor" while piloting, while Crow sings "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" while tunneling back to Earth -- or trying to.

-->'''Mike & The 'Bots:''' ''(singing along)'' ''Normal View, Normal Viewwww, '''Normal Viewwwwww,''' ''(Servo alone, grandiosely)'' '''''NORMAL VIEWWWWWW!!!!'''''

-->'''Mike & The 'Bots:''' ''(singing along)'' ''Normal View, Normal Viewwww, '''Normal Viewwwwww,''' ''(Servo alone, grandiosely) '''''NORMAL VIEWWWWWW!!!!'''''

-->'''Mike & The 'Bots:''' ''(singing along)'' ''Normal View, Normal Viewwww, '''Normal Viewwwwww, NORMAL VIEWWWWWW!!!!'''''

** When Tom Servo blocks the hull breach with his hoverskirt, he starts ''giggling'' as the vacuum of space sucks at him from underneath, declaring, "I'm experiencing a sensation altogether new to me -- and frankly, I '''''love''''' it!" When Mike removes him, he growls, "Aw, darn..."

* IKnowMortalKombat: Mike's revelation that he's fully instrument-rated as a pilot in ''Microsoft Flight Simulator'' prompts Crow and Servo to dare him to take the controls of the ''Satellite of Love''. Five seconds later, [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds the Hubble telescope is destroyed]]. Lampshaded when he even complains when they first make the dare that piloting a satellite is nothing like piloting a plane, but one round of NobodyCallsMeChicken and he's cockily pushing Gypsy out of the bridge.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Concerning Crow's "digging through space" plan, he actually did think this through, just not well enough.
-->'''Crow:''' Well, look at that. "Breach hull, all die." Even had it underlined.

* FailedASpotCheck: When Crow pickaxes his way through the hull and ContinuousDecompression threatens to suck them all into space, he asks for the blueprints to his plan. Once the paper flies into his face:
-->'''Crow:''' Thank you! Oh well, look at that, "Breach hull, all die!" [[TooDumbToLive Even had it underlined!]]

* ForScience: Nobody seems to question Cal and Joe spending time, money, and power assembling various ill-defined machines that don't actually seem to work.

--->'''Servo:''' Should we be watching this?\\

* {{Flanderization}}: Just for TheMovie, Mike, as TheHero, is extra {{nice|Guy}} and [[TheGenericGuy bland]]; Crow is much more of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} than usual and hefts the IdiotBall more readily, rather than the nerdy prankster he usually is; and if anything, Tom is probably less of a SmallNameBigEgo and {{Cloudcuckoolander}} than usual because of it, thanks to CastSpeciation, although he does take on the lion's share of VulgarHumor rather than having everyone pass it around.

** Many, many references to ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', especially during the opening credits. In [[{{Homage}} the intro sequence]], there's Mike running around a giant hamster wheel rather than the huge rotating CentrifugalGravity section of the space station from ''2001', and the closeup on Gypsy's eye is both a reference to CyberCyclops TropeCodifier HAL 9000 (and a {{Callback}} to ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E12Mitchell Mitchell]]'').

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: When the Universal International logo appears:
--> "Doesn't the fact that it's universal ''make'' it international?"

-->'''Crow:''' Come come, boys, [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI we must confound Jerry at every turn]]!

'''Tom:''' ''(as Exeter)'' And then I'll ram my ovipositor down your throat and lay my eggs in your chest, but I'm not an alien!

** As Crow attempts to tunnel out of the Satellite, he sings "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" which is both a music hall standard which became a popular WWI marching song as well as a reference to the StockSitcomGrandFinale originated by ''Series/TheMaryTylerMooreShow'' finale; this is later repeated in [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S10E13Diabolik the Season 10 series finale]] of the original run of ''[=MST3K=]'' itself.

When Mike removes him, he growls, "Aw, darn..."
** In the German dub, the riffers all declare the black triangular screen on top of the Interocitor as a "Muschibildschirm!" (literally "pussy screen").

* {{Homage}}: The movie's opening credits play over Mike jogging along the inside of a circular track, similar to ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''... but Mike's in a human-sized hamster wheel.
** Complete with hanging water bottle.

* IronicEcho: When Tom reveals he has an Interociter, Mike's skeptical about it, with Tom replying "Doesn't everybody?" When their attempt to use it to escape fails and Forrester's ugly mug shows up, he replies "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz Auntie Em! Auntie Em!]] Surprise! Like who ''doesn't'' have an Interocitor?!"

* IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect: Crow plans to escape the ''Satellite of Love'' by [[IdiotBall tunneling out of it]]. You know, ''into space''. "Well believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds that I was doing something incredibly stupid, and... I went ahead anyway."

In the intro sequence, there's Mike running around a giant hamster wheel rather than the huge rotating CentrifugalGravity section of the space station from ''2001', and the closeup on Gypsy's eye is both a reference to trope-making CyberCyclops HAL-9000 (and a callback to ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E12Mitchell Mitchell]]'').
