I vote for gamera in the discus throwing competition.
Swimming – Mitchell
Cycling – Geronimo
Athletics – Mitchell
Kayak/Canoe – Geronimo
Marathon – Mitchell
I kid, of course. He’d only take gold in the beer swilling and sleeping events…
Glenn Manning of “The Amazing Colossal Man” wins the High Jump!
I vote for Torgo in the javelin competition..
Well, as he can “fly”, Puma Man would probably be pretty good at the high jump and pole vault, but he’d look pretty stupid doing it. Blast Hardcheese might be a good entry for weight lifting, the guy from clonus for long-distance running, and I don’t think they’d be any good at it, but I’d love to see Mikey from Teenage Strangler, Torgo, and Cornjob do the hammer throw.
I think Hercules did compete in some Olympics in legend/one of the movies, so no problem with eligibility.
Deathstalker and Troxartas would be sure to take the gold in Men’s Fencing (as long as they could use cardboard foils).
Well Jimmy Wilson from I Accuse My Parents is already an Olympic champion. Oh wait.
Ivanushka from Jack Frost could use his cymbal action in the boxing competition. He could also use his incredible throwing abilities in the throwing-based track and field events. The only problem would be that he might end up damaging Big Ben.
Get Nick Miller from Time Chasers in the cycling competition.
How about Gill Man from Revenge of the Creature or Dr. Leopold from Blood Waters of Dr. Z in the swimming competition?
1. Ivan from “Jack Frost” for any event involving throwing things through the air.
2. Ator as a multi-threat: fencing, swimming, weightlifting, wrestling, etc.
3. Goro for target shooting.
4. The Indestructible Man for boxing- whos going to hurt him?
5. Jan in the Pan as the shot-put.
6. Zombie Nightmare as leadoff man on the baseball team.
7. Creepy Girl and Bunny from “Catalina Caper” for beach volleyball.
I’ll stop now. Although I want to note that I turned on the opening ceremonies for about a minute, during the depiction of the Industrial Revolution, and I dearly wished for whatever combination of MST3K alumni could have been riffing, because it sure looked like it was needed.
Mitchell competing against Jan in the Pan in a swimming event.
-The kids from Invasion of the Neptune Men in all the track & field events. They run EVERYWHERE! They must be in great shape.
-Prince of Space & Space Chief for Karate & Judo.
-Neil Connery for Archery. He could hypnotize the judges (especially if any are women), too.
-The Incredible Melting Man for wrestling. Most people wouldn’t even want to touch him. If they did, he’s too slippery to get a hold of. When he finally falls apart & gets swept into a trash bin, Samson/Silver Mask Man can step in.
I’d say Colossus/Mycheesesteak for a number of events, but he’d get lost on his way to the events & miss all the action.
From the Invasion of the Neptune Men, the Associated Press cross country team.
The gold goes to Beverly Garland in the Equestrian event.
Torgo and Ortega in synchronized swimming. I doubt if they’d be too good technicaly, but their artistry would be off the charts.
Balleau of “Bloodlust” in the Crossbow event, Pete from “Skydivers” in the diving event (sure hope his shoot opens before he hits the water…) and in gymnastics, Mr. B Natural on the floor and Nuveena on the uneven bars. And Batwoman lights the torch!
How about Eegha in weight lifting….OK, he is not as strong as he used to be…but…He is stronger than anyone else in EEGAH!!
Crash Corrigan from “Undersea Kingdom” – Track and Field
Eegah – Basketball
Hercules, Lobo, Ator – Weightlifting
Dr.Z – Swimming
Anteo, the Giant from “Hercules Unchained” – Boxing
Torgo could be a torch-bearer without actually needing to carry a torch.
Crew of Rocketship XM have trained for zero-gee gymnastics.
Cast of Lost Continent for … mountain climbing.
Ator would be great for a triathlon: running, fencing, and hang-gliding.
Peter Graves (It Conquered the World) cycling.
Viking women for rowing.
Pink candy girls (Circus on Ice) figure skating (and nightmare inducement).
Mr. B
dancingprancing.Santo/Samson wrestling hell-beasts.
Hamlet qualified for both fencing and brooding.
Starfighters (in poopie-suits) for synchronized swimming.
Mamie Van Dorin in any event that involves a swim suit……:eek:
Kerri Slug from “I Was a Teenage Werewolf” for gymnastics.
Peaches and the rest of the lady wrestlers in “Racket Girls.” I don’t think women’s wrestling is an Olympic sport, but some of them look like they could easily qualify for the mens team. Peaches could run or row or jump rope, but not on a fault line.
Samson has proven he could light the torch since he made torches out of the vampire women. And he could join Peaches on the wrestling team.
Adam from Agent for H.A.R.M. would totally mop the floor of the judo range.
Mitchell, Fat Man (from Overdrawn at the Memory Bank), and The Creeping Terror in eating competitions. Who would win?
Here are some of the match ups:
Lobo vs. the Robot from Phantom Creeps in judo.
Sir George (Magic Sword) vs. Deathstalker in equestrian and fencing.
Santa Claus vs. Jack Frost in the bobsleigh competition.
Starfighters (again in poopie-suits) vs. the giant leeches in a game of water polo.
Ken (Fugitive Alien) vs. Hercules (or Hercules… or Hercules) in wrestling and weight-lifting.
Catalina Caper kids vs. Horror of Party Beach kids in beach volleyball.
Peter Graves (It Conquered…) vs. Chin-guy (Timechasers) in cycling.
Goofy-guy (Catalina Caper) vs. Hai-keeba guy (Women of the Prehistoric Planet) in pratfall gymnastics.
Cleolanta (Rocky Jones) vs. [insert evil queen from Hercules movie] in the new glowering competition.
*Mikey (Teenage Strangler) for cycling
*Dr. Z (Blood Waters of Dr. Z )for swimming
*The ladies ensemble of “The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies” for synchronized swimming
*Grandma-Lady-Ingenue (Space Mutiny) for floor exercises
New event: synchronized drinking (Killer Shrews)
The agile YOUNG Buz Nichols in men’s gymnastics.
Mr. B Natural, also in gymnastics, perhaps the first ever to compete in both men’s and women’s gymnastics.
Hamlet is the captain of the Danish fencing team.
Cain Murrow should ride in the equestrian competitions.
I refuse to watch the Olympics, however, until they have sidehacking.
Is sidehacking an olympic event? It should.
In the marathon category it would be crowded: Little Trish from Angels Revenge, the kids from Invasion of the Neptune Men/Prince of Space, Athor, and the Giant of Marathon (Film Crew).
Archery: Neil Connery, or maybe Death Nun, from the same movie.
Jumping (or whatever is called, I’m not keen on sports events): Prince of Space.
The Undersea Kingdom Soldiers in javelin-hurling (“Well, I don’t want that!”)
The Brides of Manos in wrestling
Icky Elf guy in the hundred-yard dash. He can just teleport to the finish line
Sinbad/Not Sinbad in horse-racing. If he starts losing, he can just have his pal pick up the horse and carry it the rest of the race
Gamera in the shot-put. His aim’s fantastic, and the strings help
Coily’s pals for golf, if that’s an event
And, of course, Mister B Natural for rhythm gymnastics
Jimmy Walton from “Teenage Strangler” could compete in the cycling event because, according to younger brother Mikey,”He didn’t steal no bike..I stole it.”
The Creature (from the Black Lagoon), Dr. Z, and Devil Fish, would all do pretty well in the aquatic events, and with any luck one of them would eat Michael Phelps.
Tommy and Trumpy from Pod People would make an ideal curling team, but it might be hard to tell who won when half the objects in the stadium are whizzing around in an incredibly stupid fashion.
And of course Mr. B Natural, Pitch, the annoying Mushroom guy from Jack Frost, The Projected Man, and any of the other characters who can teleport at will would be ideal for the 100 meter dash. (Unfortunately, the competition would be cancelled at the last minute because Lembach wasn’t staying)
I nominate Pumaman for the high jump. Simply because everyone will have a good laugh watching him flail like a groundhog in zero-g.
@21 – Peaches and the rest of the lady wrestlers in “Racket Girls.” I don’t think women’s wrestling is an Olympic sport, but some of them look like they could easily qualify for the mens team. Peaches could run or row or jump rope, but not on a fault line.
Another gold medal for Ukrainia (sic).
(But I guess that’s what they meant by “The Ukrainia girls really knock me out…” ;) )
Hamlet- fencing.
I’d rather dream up some MST3K-movie-related events….
The thousand-meter squirm.
The skull toss.
My money’s on Torgo for the 1000 meter “Silly Walk”
The Beast of Yucca Flats for the Mountain Climbing and Dead Girl Carry Biathlon.
that’s all I got now.
The Creeping Terror in the long-distance track events. He’ll outlast everyone because, no matter how slow he travels, his competitors will still end up stuffing themselves into its mouth… :-)
Moon W. Trash would win the Gold in shooting. He’d compete for the Italians, of course.
#15, I agree with you on having Balleau in the archery event. And also, from “Bloodlust,” I nominate Sandra, his “wife,” for the swimming event, because as Dean said in the movie, “She’s an excellent swimmer!”
To clarify Hercles created the Olympic games and dedicated them to his anus…. I mean his father Zeus.So he can probibly conpete any time he wants
A new game for monsters free style city stomping
Japan looking great with Godzilla and Gamara who with Tokyo,Osaka and Kobe plus other nameless sights really rack up the points
Great Britan a close second with Gorgo’s mother but extra point for demolishing London itself
USA not as good The Amazing Colosal Man with only minor damage to Las Vegas but The Deadly Mantis might bring it up with Washington DC
and New York City
Finland lagging behind with Zumma The Three Headed Fire Dragon with no cities damaged
Another new event Henchman relays
Torgo first but would probably take an hour for the first leg
Ortaga second his body funk would drive the other contestants out of the race
Lobo third probably the fastest and he could crush anybody in his way
Glen Manning as a 1 man basketball team.
Nick and Kevin from Hobgoblins for rake fencing, of course, with Daphne, Kyle and Amy in the free-form 80’s dancing competition.
Match ups for some of the new events:
Mighty Jack vs. the Starfighters in the aerobatical left-bank turn competition.
Glen Manning vs. the the Eye Creatures in the controversial cliff diving competition.
Awkward dance competition: Director’s girlfriend (Colossus) vs. Rod (Wild Rebels) vs. Dance hall dork (Creeping Terror).
Stair climbing race: Blinky-winky alien lady (Gamera vs Zigra) vs. Wild Rebels.
Master Ninja vs. Super Dragon in the breath-holding competition.
Cortez the jacked up deputy from “Devil Fish”: Weightlifting
Johnny Longbone from “Track of the Moonbeast”: Archery
Eegah: Men’s Basketball (Glenn Manning wouldn’t fit in the arena!)
Residents of CLONUS: Decathlon
And taking home the gold in dressage is…Ed Wood?!?
Glen Manning should be in the Diving competition, based on the final scene of the first movie.
And let’s not forget Gamera’s incredible uneven bars Gymnastics routine from Gamera vs Guiron.
Though a gold medal might be out of reach, I would pay money to see Torgo attempt the hurdles.
WEREWOLF – Girl with no pants: High Jump (based on her effortless and injury-free fall from the 2nd floor.)
I nominate Sho Kosugi/Okasa from the Master Ninja films for archery, martial arts, and just about anything. Watch Sho in some of his Ninja movies from the 80’s. Even if you don’t like the movie you will be impressed with what he can do physically.
The Soul Takers could put their jumping and teleportation skills to good use, but only dead people and maybe Haley Joel Osment could see them.
@ #21: IIRC women’s wrestling is currently an Olympic event.
