Hideaki Nitani, RIP

We caught this item the other day. On the IMDB, Nitani is listed first in the cast list for “Mighty Jack,” which does not list character names, but I’m pretty sure that’s none other than Harold Atari. Can anybody confirm?

Two More Re-Releases from Shout! Factory

The latest news from Shout! Factory…

SHOUT! FACTORY AND BEST BRAINS, INC., PRESENT….
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000:
THE WILD WORLD OF BAT WOMAN
&
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000:
GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS
AVAILABLE DIRECTLY FROM SHOUT! FACTORY ON MARCH 20, 2012
On March 20th The Satellite of Love lifts off once again when Shout! Factory and Best Brains, Inc. release Mystery Science Theater 3000: Girl In Gold Boots and Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Wild World Of Batwoman on DVD, available exclusively from the Shout! Factory store here and here.

MST3K: Girl In Gold Boots and MST3K: The Wild World Of Batwoman are the newest titles in a special line from Shout! Factory of single episode/single disc releases of fan favorites. Shout! Factory also continues to release new multi-disc collections of beloved and in-demand episodes. Mystery Science Theater 3000: XXIII, a 4-Disc collection of 4 previously unreleased episodes and loads of extras, will be in stores March 27th.

In MST3K: Girl In Gold Boots, a timeless tale of exploitation, competition, drugs and raw talent-flavored substitute, a young woman’s quest to make it as a professional go-go dancer reveals a devastatingly mediocre portrait of Hollywood’s low-budget underbelly. Thankfully, those schlock ’n’ roll stars aboard the Satellite of Love are here to avenge our boredom and riff our pain away. Comedy snipers Mike Nelson and his robot sidekicks Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot put Girl In Gold Boots in their crosshairs and take it down. May a statue be dedicated one day to their heroism!

In 1966 an understandable attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Batman went horribly, horribly, horribly wrong. The movie that emerged, The Wild World Of Bat Woman, would have stood a better chance had it been written by Bob Kane’s dog. There is a plot, of sorts, involving a masked babe, her team of dancing girls, a mad scientist, an atomic-powered hearing aid and an archvillain named Rat Fink. Don’t try to connect those dots. You’ll lose. Just enjoy the ample opportunities taken by Mike and his robot pals Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot to redeem the movie with barbs, cracks, digs, jabs and other assorted comic punishment. MST3K: The Wild World Of Batwoman includes the short film Cheating, a morality tale about a high school boy whose position in student government is jeopardized by a cheating scandal.
