In season 6 episode 22 of Mystery Science Theater 3000, titled Angels Revenge, our favorite trio of astronauts are back to riff on another classic B-movie from the 1970s. This time, they set their sights on Angels Revenge, a crime drama from 1979 that features a cast of beautiful women seeking revenge against a group of corrupt businessmen.
The film centers around a group of seven women who have all been wronged by the same group of men. Together, they decide to take the law into their own hands and seek revenge on the men who have ruined their lives. Each of the women has a unique set of skills, from martial arts to computer hacking, and they work together to plan and execute their revenge.
As the MST3K crew watches the film, they poke fun at the cheesy dialogue, the over-the-top action scenes, and the questionable fashion choices of the 1970s. They also take a few jabs at the film's more sexist elements, such as the constant objectification of the female characters.
One of the highlights of the episode is the appearance of Frank Zappa's son Dweezil, who plays himself in a brief cameo. The MST3K crew has a lot of fun riffing on Dweezil's appearance and his brief interaction with the main characters.
Throughout the episode, the crew also takes breaks to perform skits and jokes, as is typical of MST3K episodes. In one skit, Servo dresses up like one of the Angels and sings a silly song while the others play along. In another skit, Joel and the bots pretend to be the Angel's hype men, trying to get them more work as vigilantes.
As always, the chemistry between the cast is what makes this episode so enjoyable. Joel, Servo, and Crow have a great rapport and their commentary is both hilarious and insightful. They manage to turn what could have been a forgettable B-movie into a genuinely entertaining and funny episode of MST3K.
Overall, season 6 episode 22 of Mystery Science Theater 3000 is a great example of the show at its funniest. The cheesy action and questionable script of Angels Revenge make it the perfect target for Joel and the bots to riff on, and they do not disappoint. Fans of the show are sure to enjoy this episode, and newcomers will find it to be a great introduction to the world of MST3K.
