Weekend Discussion Thread: Rewriting the Ends of MSTed Movies

During this week’s episode guide discussion, alert regular Kenneth Morgan asked:

Have we done a Weekend Discussion question like, “Which MSTed movies would you re-write the ending to, and how?” Actually, I wouldn’t mind seeing a remake of this one using the ‘bots ending.

It feels like we have, but I searched around and I don’t think so. So let’s do it!

I’ll pick the easy one: At the end of “Manos: The Hands of Fate,” Mike’s shot successfully kills The Master and also alerts the police, who arrive and round up the entire group. We close with the family — and a new puppy — cavorting on a Texas beach.

Next!

    “Sidehackers” — Crapout decides to use his battering ram and jams it up the wazoo of J.C. Rommel then goes on to on to make sidehacking the most popular sport in the Olympics.

    Lot of good suggestions above. Jimmy staying with Al (in I Accuse My Parents) would have made sense. I particularly like #50 and #48. I agree about Pod People. Always hated the sad ending, even though the movie was silly. Same with Sidehackers, Track of the Moon Beast, Skydivers, and Incredible Melting Man. Sad endings don’t usually bother me but those did. Probably the funny atmosphere beforehand (courtesy of Joel/Mike and the Bots) made them seem more out of place.

    My ideas (some SPOILERS):

    The Dead Talk Back: Henry Krasker and the blonde, water loving cop declare their love for each other.
    The Horrors of Spider Island: Gary actually transforms into a spider, instead of just a weird werewolf thing.
    Ring of Terror: Heck, just start the whole thing over with a new premise. One of the most pointless movies I’ve ever seen.
    The Touch of Satan: Jodie runs away as Melissa begins aging, keeping his soul, a life with her not worth working on a walnut ‘ranch’.
    Time Chasers: Nick, before destroying the transport, goes back in time to 8th century England, joins the Delta Knights, and leaves a bunch of papers and models of flying machines in the storehouse, which later inspires Leonardo and paves the way for airplanes which allows Nick to build a transport etc. Sort of like Terminator.

    One serious improvement to an overall not terrible movie would be the following:

    Soultaker: As Zack and Natalie ride off happily, the music fades, and after a few moments of silence we see Brad strolling in the direction they were heading, hands in pockets. Fade to the credits. Would be a good creepy ending.

    Gumby: The robots turn Gumby and his family in a giant pile of clay. Then they sell it as Play-Doh. Gumby’s father is voiced by Morgan Freeman.
    Space Mutiny, Calgan doesn’t open his eyes and the crew of the Southern Sun gets sue by the producers of Battlestar Galactica.
    Mighty Jack: I would slow the plot down.
    Invasion of the Neptune Men: they defeat Low-Altitude Chief and Japan comes to and end. The Hitler Building is preserved for the glory of Neptune. Fin.

    “Agent for h.a.r.m.”: Just before Adam Chance is going to head off to save Stefanik, he gets an urgent message from his boss. It seems the government has looked at the “success” rate of h.a.r.m. and decided to give the job of stopping the spore-wielding bad guys to another agency. Immediately, Z.O.W.I.E. sends in Derek Flint, who takes care of the enemy agents, prevents Stefanik from turning into a pile of sludge, and gets the girl to switch sides and work for the good guys. And Adam is reassigned to be an assistant instructor on the judo range.

    I’d change the ending of Danger Diabolik so that when Mike & Tom Servo & Crow are sharing an apartment they drift off to sleep watching The Crawling Eye and wake up to realize IT WAS JUST A DREAM and they’re still on the Satellite of Love. The show continues for another 13 years – in fact, there’s a brand new episode airing tonight!!!

    Wow #52, I love your endings, especially for Soultaker. Would have been a perfect ending for a horror film.

    For This Island Earth, I would have had Brak survive and realize his dream for The Brak Show, starring me, I’m Brak!

    For Master Ninja, I would have Max Keller eventually be sent to jail for his penchant for going after girls that were much too young for him. What happens next with the hamster…you don’t want to know.

    “The Touch of Satan”: Jodie still leaves and comes back. But when he gets to the lake, he finds Melissa on the verge of death. He finds a note explaining that, in a fit of remorse over all the damage her deal with the devil has caused, she’s decided to kill herself. She sees Jodie and begs forgiveness before falling unconscious. At that moment, Jodie hears the devil offering to save her life in exchange for his soul. However, Jodie (finally showing some intelligence) asks God for help instead. Seeing Jodie’s genuine love for Melissa, and her genuine request to be forgiven, God steps in and she’s both revived and released from her deal. And they both live semi-happily ever after on the ranch.

    Oh, and they celebrate their bright new future by going into town for some CARNATION ICE CREAM!

    My rewrites are humble but brief:

    Hobgoblins: It was all a Hobgoblin’s illusion before they kill the old man.

    Merlin’s Shop: Intense, monkey vs. Merlin battle scene that makes “balrog vs. Gandalf” fight look like hissy fit.

    Jack Frost: Nastinka’s (sp) sister gets eaten by wolves, witch pigs, and/or trees.

    Final Sacrifice: Rowsdower becomes a mountie. Just picture it for a second. Yeah.

    Time Chasers: Just before Nick deletes the time program, his front door busts down and a tubby, eyepatch-wearing guerilla-hobo from 2041 barges in, shoots Nick with a shotgun, takes the floppy from the drive and holds it to the air with triumphant cackling. Fade out.

    Oh, yeah, Ring of Terror! Cries out for an alternate ending:

    Tiny and Ragdoll (the fat pigs) never finish college, but get married and move far away. In their new home, their sunny dispositions make them popular with their neighbors. Tiny finds work selling medical equipment, and makes a comfortable living, despite not being the sharpest knife in the drawer. After a health scare, he and Ragdoll drop some weight and feel a lot better, though they’re never going to be swimsuit models.

    In the fullness of time they have a son, whom they name Lewis, after the dead Lewis Moffet (who was the only one who was ever nice to Tiny, though you didn’t see that in the movie). The boy is actually the reincarnation of Lewis, and in Tiny and Ragdoll’s home he finds an environment where being smart, hard-working, and courageous is not looked upon as weird. He is a joy and comfort to his parents.

    Meanwhile Resusci-Annie (Lewis’s girlfriend) has married Cupid (the rat-faced frat boy who admired her). She’s more or less content with Mr. Ordinary, but occasionally wonders vaguely what life would have been like with Lewis.

    Mr. “Jolly Old Oxford” was master of ceremonies at a dance. He tried to do a really lame physical comedy bit, but tumbled off the stage and died after impaling himself on a mic stand.

    Mitchell returns home after a long day of paperwork regarding his killing of Cummings and Benton. Suspicious of an intruder, he enters his apartment crouched down with his gun drawn like a spaz and finds Greta (Linda Evans) sleeping in his hideaway bed. After pulling her out of his bed, he makes her kneel down next to the bed with her hands behind her head. Mitchell then quickly opens the closet door. Walter Deaney (John Saxon) is hiding behind several hanging cheap plaid suit jackets and fires his gun at Mitchell. The bullet hits Mitchell dead center in his heart. Mitchell then drops to his knees and fires his gun at Deaney, hitting him under his chin. Hair, blood, brain matter and skull fragments explode on the wall behind him. They both collapse and die. Greta then takes both Mitchell’s and Deaney’s wallets and flees the scene. Camera points down looking from above at the two corpses lying in pools of blood. Camera slowly pulls out and fades to black as a touching instrumental of Hoyt Axton’s Mitchell’s theme is played out over the credits.

    What always bugged me about “Mitchell” was the old lady he made get out and walk in the middle of nowhere. So for my final scene, she shows up at his door and kicks him in the crotch. And then it turns out she’s Linda Evans’s long-lost grandmother, and they leave together and start an escort agency for men interested in new-age music and/or chauffeuring.

    Warrior of the Lost World: The damn bike isn’t rebuilt and poor Donald Pleasance gets a good scene that enables to take better roles in his later career than in the likes of Warrior Queen and Puma Man.

    Sidehackers: Instead of going off into the stupid revenge plot, the group all signs up for the Sidehacking National Championship. Nero and J.C. end up on competing teams but embrace sportsmanship and the spirit of fair play. NO ONE DIES, NO ONE TELLS JOKE NUMBER FIVE, and THERE’S NO CHARACTER NAMED CRAPOUT.

    Monster-A-Go-Go: “And now our feature presentation: ‘Citizen Kane!'” After which Citizen Kane is shown. Next!

    Mighty Jack: The guys receive a challenge from The Organization That Comes After Q, R.

    Attack of The The Eye Creatures: The monsters are pacified with the military’s secret new weapon, a flamethrower modified to squirt Visine instead of napalm. The newly peaceful monsters are hired by Google to vet YouTube videos.

    Samson vs. The Vampire Women: Samson is made into a vampire but remains a basically decent guy, teams up with Abraham Lincoln in the present day.

    Gamera, Godzilla, Gorgo: The rubber suit monsters get collectively hired by Hanna-Barbera for an upcoming revival of The Banana Splits.

    Time of the Apes: Our heroes remain in the Ape World for multiple seasons and try to find a way back home, aided by Godo’s survival skills, eventually turns out the introductory story was hallucinated by the now insane characters who are really the family from Land Of The Lost.

    Fugitive Alien & 2: Actually, just dub the original Japanese show “Star Wolf,” which is weird but not bad when not edited into incomprehensibility by agents of the shadowy Sandy Frank. To an anime-addled nation of kids it could do pretty well.

    Hamlet: Turns out to be the creation of a couple of Broadway producers intentionally trying to produce a flop as part of a scam.

    Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy: Robot wins, goes on for twelve against Joe Fraiser in Vegas to a packed crowd.

    Starfighters: The “poopie suit” turns out to be accurately named.

Ulysses gets made into a statue and Herc and Onphale have fun putting him into funny poses. Polinicie and his other Red Headed Stepchild Brother stop warring because they finally admit it was just a cover to hide their forbidden love for each other. And the Argives give up war and become a River Dance company.

    “The Atomic Brain”: Dr. Frank transplants nasty old lady March’s brain into a smelly old baboon named Daisy (or worse, an anteater!), after tricking her into signing her fortune over to him. Bea and Nina escape, Bea receives a glass eye and reconstructive surgery, and they form a succesful business providing au pairs for rich people. To escape capture and prosecution, Dr. Frank uses his fortune to relocate to Africa, where his research provides the basis for doppling. Mrs. March is released into the Serengeti and never heard from again.

    Giant Gila Monster-Despite everyone’s feelings of adoration for Chase The Wunderkind, everyone at the dance drifts outside for a cig when he starts singing “Laugh Children Laugh”. Seeing the monster coming, several of the townspeople are able to take some incredible photos of the beast while the sherriff makes a one-in-a-billion shot, shooting ol’ Gila through the eye and into the brain, stopping the lizard dead. Chase, eyes closed, completely lost in a repeat-chorus loop of his crappy buzz-killing song, mistakes the spontaneous cheers of joy and victory coming from outside as being for him, bows deeply from the waist, finally feeling the love and approval he’s missed from his dad all these years. Everyone rushes back in and grabs Chase to join in the spontaneous celebration, which the dj kicks off with Little Richard’s “Long Tall Sally”. Sales of the exclusive photos and book not only finish paying off the kid’s braces, but enable all the teens to go to college or trade school AND launch Chase’s career into the stratosphere, making him the next Pat Boone. The sheriff, now a national hero, becomes a regular on Chase’s variety hour, featuring Chase’s whole family(he and the french girl got married of course). But for the rest of his life, whenever an audience applauded him, he always felt doubt in his heart that the applause was for him.

    “Stranded in Space”: Neil Stryker manages to get aboard the spacecraft and lifts off. Quickly, he re-sets the controls and heads away from Terra towards Earth. Suddenly, a life support malfunction renders him unconcious. He awakens when his craft is just entering Earth orbit. He barely manages to land and figures he’s finally home. Suddenly, he realizes he hasn’t landed in the U.S., but near the EUROSEC complex in Portugal. The movie ends as he desperately tries to warn astronauts Glen Ross and John Kane not to travel to this new planet they’ve found on the far side of the sun…

    (Yes, it’s obscure, but I like that movie.)

    ‘Time Chasers’ should have ended like this: Heading back triumphantly, Nick and Plaid Girl arrive in the present only to discover that due to his interference during the War, the British win. Eventually he feels he should go back and maybe do something about it. While in transit, his Radio Shack 19.99 modem acts up and he ends up chasing Bob Evil and himself in the Civil War. Because of Professor Lunkhead, the South wins. Again, he eventually accepts the blame that he might sort of be responsible, goes back and intereferes in WW2 leading to a Nazi controlled world. Once back in the present Nick staggers out of his plane, exhausted, where he is suddenly run over by a prom limo. the passenger is of course Bob Evil, the local bergermeister. as he lays there, the dog from the opening crerdits comes by and chomps on Nick’s area. Nick wakes up screaming, then plaid girl wakes up and realizes where she is and who she is with and starts screaming. all the while Springsteen’s little brother gets high in the tractor shed. the end.

    78: Thanks, Beth needs to have a better ending, being the only likable character in a Coleman Francis movie.

    Catalina Caper: Lyle Waggoner finds out he’s being double-crossed by the Greek gangster; he joins Tommy Kirk’s gang, beats the living snot out of Fey Yachtsman Del Moore and forces him to confess to the police. Fingers O’Toole ends up with Creepy girl. They all ditch Tommy Kirk at the end, but he has the last laugh as all contract gonorrhea within a year.

    Wild Rebels: Steve Alaimo waits till all the bandits have left the car headed for the bank, then peels out , honking his horn and running over Fats and Jeter in the street. Linda and Banjo hop on a motorcycle and give chase, shooting out Alaimo’s windows. after a long chase where Rod/Steve shows off his driving skill, they end up on a one-lane road playing chicken; Rod dives out and lets the car take out Banjo and Linda, sending their broken bodies flying in both directions. Rod cradles the dying Linda as cops arrive; they are all sad until Linda croaks out her chestnut “for the kicks, baby” and they all have a good laugh as she dies. Freeze frame on Alaimo and Lt. cop in mid-laughter.

    The main one that comes to mind: Gamera vs. Barugon.

    Basically, I’d cut all the scenes involving Gamera, as it feels as if he simply tacked onto this film to capitalize off the success of the original film, and pretty much have the Infrared Diamond Lure plan be the film’s climax, with Barugon dying just after he eats the jewel-obsessed human villain of the film.

    #55 and #72 I’ll go one better:

    Joel Robinson wakes up on his couch after a marathon of watching Dr. F’s Theater of Science and Mystery (co-starring Television’s Frank). He pulls a quarter from the couch and uses it to retrieve a gumball from his custom designed gumball machine. A knock at the door reveals his landlord Pearl asking about the rent that’s overdue (her pale brother Brian and her large pet dog Bobo stand behind). He promises to bring it by the main office (Castle Forrester’s Apartment) after work. Satisfied, she leaves. Joel then goes back and puts a few more touches on his sculpture, consisting of various odds and ends spray-painted gold. He then receives a call from his roommate Mike asking if he can fill in for him at the Gizmonics Institute facility, since Deep 13 are planning on launching Project “Satellite of Love” and need someone to clean it before it launches. He agrees and heads out, looking at the camera, winks, and closes the door.

    I’d be happy if they just restored the original happy ending to The Mole People, you know, the one that made sense. I’m not against sad or tragic endings, but Adele running and falling into a hole to get crushed by a pillar was just stupid. I love that insane racism is the reason for the change. Yes all racism is pretty insane, but when the female character of a “different race” is white skined and blonde haired that’s an exceptional level of insane.

    a better ‘Time Chasers’ending. After their time travelling hi-jinks, Nick travels to ‘Martin’s’ (whatup?) see’s the Daily Shopper’s intrepid reporter PLAID GIRL and rams his shopping cart into hers in a vain attempt to flirt with her. She sighs, rolls her eyes and eventually agrees to have dinner and, if she’s really drunk, some gratuitous hunga dunga. The scene fades as the enterprising twosome, the hopes for our futures, quietly discuss their own vaunted superiority over the ‘common man.’ The closing scene begins with Nick awakening, bathed in the afterglow of true love. He glances over and finds himself spooning the grizzled old ‘water finder’ guy from the future. he pauses, shrugs and goes back to sleep.

    “Time Chasers”: After an irate J.K. fires Matt (a.k.a. Pink Boy) and dives off, Nick assures Matt that all will be well. In fact, seconds later, a car pulls up and a man gets out. It seems that he’s an old friend of Nick’s (they both went to Castleton) who’s just starting a software company. It seems he needs a reliable guy who understands business and, a couple of days ago, Nick told him that Matt would be a good choice and would need a job that very day. (I guess Nick took one more trip into the past.) Matt accepts the offer and helps Nick’s friend to build up his business and, one day, buy out J.K.’s company, turning it into a much less evil place to work.
    So, with Matt’s future secure and Nick’s girlfriend saved from death thanks to our hero’s time machine, Nick gets ready to erase the program. However, he just can’t bring himself to do it. Instead, he dismantles the hardware and locks it and the floppy discs away, hoping that a future generation can have a much wiser idea of using time travel.

    Cue the sequel…

    Man, Time Chasers really set people off…

    The Beatniks: Shortly after his TV debut, Eddie is shocked to find out he’s been bumped off the charts by newly-signed R&B singer Mooney. Eddie joins the army and after getting out, starts starring in bad teen musicals. He starts wearing tight jumpsuits to hide his weight gain, and incorporating karate into the the music act. Mooney is successful, until he’s busted for pot at Heathrow Airport and fights with his guitarist over the direction of the music. They reconcile by cutting an album in France. Wackiness ensues when Eddie and Moon wind up at the same Ashram together!

    Lost Continent: Cesar & co. sprint up the “sacred mountain” in a montage taking a mere 3 minutes (thanks to EDITING); the rest of the movie consists of action-packed sequences of our crew being chased by realistic-looking dinosaurs (with NO smoke breaks), etc. Glasses scientist (who DIDN’T fall off the mountain) fixes the rocket, and after picking up Sabu and his sister, rocket back to Washington to a hero’s welcome.

    Leech Woman: June gets young and flees with David to LA. They attempt to market Naipe on HSN, but are taken to the cleaners when Mala and her tribe sue them for theft and property damage. They spend the next 10 years in jail. Oh, and Paul still dies.

    Santa Claus: Merlin screws up and Santa goes to the big house, where he makes toys for the next 5 years. Pedro grows a beard, sends all the kids home, and hires elves to make toys. Everything goes well until labor activist Lupita (all grown up and bitter) rallies the workers to strike until they get 40-hour workweek, overtime, 401k, etc.

    parts: the clonus horror: The movie opens with Senator Jeffrey collapsing at the press conference and painfully dying due to a massive failure of all his cloned organs at once. Keenan Wynn investigates, Dick Sargent is fired, the clones are seeded into the Olympic Team and Richard and Lena live happily ever after working at Applebee’s.

    Horror of Spider Island: Gary attempts to murder Bobby and Gladys, but they pull off his fake gorilla hand and he runs away, ashamed of his lame costume. 20 More minutes of girls dancing in their underwear ensue, capped off by a nude swim! :-P

    Hercules vs. the Moon Men:

    All the good guys die in the Sand Storm of “DEEP HURTING! DEEP HURTING” and their own rock stupidity. Which leaves Samara running to the moon men and their rock people. The Rock People walk in to kill Samara when suddenly Bob Dylan jumps out of nowhere to serenade Samara with “Everybody Loves to Get Stoned.” Bob Dylan is thankfully killed with Samara. This leaves the Earth at the mercy of the Moon Men who when they discover it’s populated with people who actually like “Lizard Lick Towing,” decide it wasn’t worth it in the first place and go back home to the Moon. Byllith wakes up traumatized from her experience with everyone either dead or gone. She decides to expand her horizons but being as rock stupid as everyone else she instead becomes a dead head, stops shaving her legs, and follows the Grateful Dead around the country. The End!

    Bombastic-good, I’m not the only one who wanted to rewrite “parts”. Definitely up there on the “bummer ending” list, moreso for me because it just seems so inevitable through the whole film that a happy ending would be jarring. I like your take on it, maybe with an armed revolt by the clones thrown in, like the last episode of the Prisoner, but set to Air Supply’s “All Out Of Love” instead of The Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love”.

    How about the ants in Phase 4 supervising the rebooting of human civilization with Kendra and the compassionate scientist as the new Adam and Eve. That’s a bit like the movie’s real ending that got clipped, but remained in the trailer; except I wouldn’t have them merge into a faceless androgynous bug person. Or maybe they could just step on them.
