) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
With – Mothra. Wouldn’t be stranded for long.
Not with – The mother from Jack Frost. Godzilla would be easier to get along with, and better looking too.
Stuck with: Talena from Outlaw. Just not sure how Cabot would feel about that.
Not stuck with: Kai/Diaper Man/Nugent from Robot Holocaust. I wouldnt want to change that saggy diaper that leaks.
@89.
Hey now, Mila from Cave Dwellers is smart too. She made gunpowder off of the scrapings from a cave wall and the dirt floor. She would also eat less than Ator would. I think Ator would constantly be working out too, which would just get annoying.
Is it safe to fly on Gamera? I think it would be better to have Jet Jaguar, with the remote control that goes with him of course.
Not: Easy choice. John Banner’s character from Crash of the Moons. An endless Banner-gram would be suicide (if not murder) material.
Who to have is a harder choice. Obviously the first consideration would be survival. I would go with McCheesesteak from Colossus and the Headhunters, since he seems to know about survival techniques, even if he is absent whenever a threat appears.
Most: Vilya from The Sword and The Dragon because she could make one of those magic food producing blankets and we’d never starve.
Least: Gene Hackman from Space Travellers. His constant cries of “You’ve gotta get us out of here!” would get annoying after awhile.
#103 – Seems like Gamera would be VERY safe to fly on. He’s rated for children, after all.
That reminds me, being stranded with Mothra would be great. You could ride in that little basket off the island.
Marla English from THE SHE CREATURE
Allison Hayes from THE UNDEAD
Mara Corday from THE BLACK SCORPION
Yvette Vickers from ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES
Ann-Margaret from KITTEN WITH A WHIP.
Oops, I forgot Cynthia Patrick from THE MOLE PEOPLE.
Would not like to be stuck with Watney from Outlaw.. he would roam the Island all day calling Cabot ? Cabot ? he would be dead by dawn.. I would love to be stuck with Eva Kant from Danger Diabolik or Ava Vestok from Agent from H.A.R.M.. both smokin hot..
I suppose it depends on how badly I wanted to leave the island. Thong/Dong from ‘Cave Dwellers,’ Estelle Winwood from ‘The Magic Sword,’ or Opie from ‘Village of the Giants’ could probably whip something up in an instant to get us home.
On the other hand, if escape was impossible… well, it’d be fun to have an entire island to myself and Eva Kant from ‘Danger: Diabolik’, without any pesky money to get in the way.
As for the worst character to be trapped with… it’s a toss-up between Mikey from ‘Teenage Strangler,’ and Mitchell (who would automatically eat any available food on the island within the first 5 minutes). I’m automatically eliminating Torgo from the running, simply because you could send him out for firewood and be reasonably certain he wouldn’t show up again for another two months.
I’m just surprised that, instead of deserted island, this thread isn’t about being–stranded in space.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have an appointment in Ward E…
You know, I almost said Godzilla as my first choice with whom to be stranded. I’ve been a Godzilla fan since I was less than 10 years of age. I could sit on his head as he swims us to safety! Or he could fly us away like files in Godzilla vs. Hedorah. Or Commando Cody, he could fly us away too!
As long as I’m posting a second time in this thread, my next choice for least want to be stranded with would be Thor from Teenagers From Outer Space. What a psycho and therefore not much help with an escape plan. Also undesirable, the guy from Texas in Rocketship X-M. He’d talk you to death.
#110
And you DON’T want to send out Rorgo for pizza!
OOps. Even better, don’t send out Torgo.”
Desert Island. Jessica from “The Thing that Couldn’t die” It would have been Mamie Van Doren, but I have a feeling she would want to sing… ALOT. and that just… I wouldn’t care for that.
Buried in the Desert ISland: Watney fro “Outlaw”. Just really Hell is my idea of that guy and never being able to properly kill him.
I kind of assumed that companianship and not survival was the main issue. For survival give me Ator from Cave Dwellers. Forget crude shelters and foraged roots and berries. Ator could use palm fronds, bird feathers, and sea shells to pave highways, build apartment complexes, and set up a telecommunications infrastructure that could provide cheap high speed internet access.
As for being rescued I chose Jet Jaguar over Gamera because I figured that the giant Jet would have a compartment for me to ride in. Gamera’s back would be awful drafty, and without a harness you’d get blown right off when Gamera got up to speed. Honestly, I don’t know how those kids stayed on.
My companion choice of Kendra from Phase 4 was based not just her being “a babe” (though she is), but because she seemed like a nice caring person I could be emotionally comfortable with. Some of the women in Hobgoblins were modestly pretty, but being stuck with them would soon have me looking for a sharp stick to rupture my eardrums with, or seeing if the cannible tribe on the other side of the island wanted to have me for lunch.
I think I’ve figured out a good plan. If I got stuck with Arch Hall Jr., I’d just have him go swimming. The grease from his hair would create a giant oil slick that would be easily visible to any potential rescuers! Plus he could soothe me to sleep with that golden voice.
Similar but not, I don’t think I’d want to get stuck with Little Richard. He might go swimming, but he’d probably make sure not to get his hair wet, and while I’m a big fan of his music, I don’t think I could sleep to him screaming Good Golly Miss Molly in my ear!
Two more I would not want to be with: Leonardo and “T” from “Quest of the Delta Knights, for companionship or survival. Any adversaries we encountered would immediately be able to capture us, and I would be in pain from from listening to “Puss in Boots” spout constantly about being the “One”, and Leonardo is very whiny and never has an original idea in his head.
Of course, then there is “Thena”…hmmm, I usually don’t go for redheads, but… her dough is rising…yes, yes, absolutely!
Who wouldn’t I want to be stuck with? The first character that came to my mind was Dropo the Martian. I’d probably end up killing the unfunny bastard.
Although I like the actor who played him. I remember seeing his pic without makeup and recognizing him from Sesame Street.
The one I’d most want to get stuck with? That one is tough. Maybe Godzilla. He could just swim us back to civilization. Good show Godzilla.
Or Rommel, Ross Hagan is one hot SOB.
Oh, forgot to mention: I would NOT like to be stranded with the Mom from BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS. Being stranded on a desert island would be depressing enough on its own, thank you, and I don’t need her wandering around aimlessly, looking vaguely pained, and only talking when I can’t see her face.
Who with? Sorry, guys. Either Jessica from The Brain Who Couldn’t Die or Nastenka from Jack Frost. They’re cute – and you should always have a cute girl alone on an island. Why do you think the Professor never fixed the boat — with Ginger and Mary Ann on the island and no other available men? Yes, I know what I said. Think about it.
Who not: Hmm, Atlas from Strange Creatures. Who wants to be stuck alone and have to listen to that idiot speak?
We need to keep Watney (Outlaw of Gor) available – we’ll need someone (er, something) to eat.
Saw a Non Sequitur a couple of months ago – two guys on an island and a package floats to shore. “Well, good news. It’s from Netflix.” :-)
Oh, and on the Not list: Coleman Francis. It’s kind of like when Vivian Leigh was asked to star opposite Bette Davis in the “Baby Jane” sequel. Supposedly, Leigh replied, “I can just about stand looking at Joan Crawford’s face at four o’clock in the morning, but not Bette Davis.”
Sort of how we feel about Coleman, except in the other direction. You know what we mean, guys.
Besides, he would want to talk shop, and I think I would go insane.
I wouldn’t mind being standed with Eullabelle from “Horror Of Party Beach”. She’s probably my all-time favorite MST character.
“Just smile at the stupid white people…”
And I have to second the notion that I wouldn’t want to be stranded ANYWHERE with Watney from “Outlaw”. My hands would be around his throat within five minutes. Same goes for “Jim”, the icky “bad boy” with the frost-n-tipped perm in “Zombie Nightmare”.
Who I would:
Kumi Mizuno as Dayo in Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster
Who I wouldn’t:
Mr. B Natural
On an island I would want to be stuck with John Locke or Hurley, for survival skills and conversation skills, respectively, and for companionship, I’d go with Sun or maybe Claire (w/o Aaron). As for who I would NOT like to be stuck with, uh, Ben Linus, duh.
Oh wait. . .wrong show, different island.
I’ve got nothing original to add (all the good ones have been taken or said already) but I have really enjoyed reading this thread. GOOD JOB, MSTies!
!
I’m with @82 and want Ator on the island with me. Since my goal is to get off the island as fast as possible, he can build a hanglider with just some bamboo and palm fronds, and we’re as good as gone.
As for who I would not want with me: Kenny. Because he just doesn’t care.
Me: “Kenny, we should build a shelter to protect us from the coming storm.”
Kenny: “I don’t care.”
Me: “Kenny, we should build a bonfire so rescuers can find us.”
Kenny: “I don’t care.”
Me: “Kenny, try not to drink a lot of fresh water. We need to conserve it.”
Kenny: “I don’t care.”
Me: “Kenny, don’t swim in those shark-infested waters.”
Kenny: “I don’t care.”
Me: “Meh, suit yourself…”
TM @126, I think that’s Johnnie (Time of the Apes) catch phrase. Kenny has a lot going against him as it is so its understandable that this tag line would be assosiated with him. In closing, they both wear incredibly short white pants as well!
Back in the day, Barbara Bouchet.
Stranded With: Hercules, from any of his MSTd movies. There isn’t much he couldn’t do to either help me survive or keep me amused.
Not Stranded With: Anyone from Red Zone Cuba. We’d all die of boredom.
I think being stranded with Godo from Time of the Apes would be the most beneficial with all of his survival skills. Plus I can probably learn Japanese! :-)
As far as a character I’d hate to be stranded with, I’d have to pick Coily the spring sprite from A Case Of Spring Fever (I’m with Servo. I’d rather have a case of Bass ale.) Coily would CONSTANTLY be reminding me of our spring free existence on the isle until I’m driven completely insane and commit first degree sprite murder.
Would—-have to be the whole female cast from spider island–all i need is a can of Raid, and I’m set for life!
Would NOT—have to be cabots “partner” from Outlaw(of gor)! What a weasel!
would be stranded with:BATWOMAN [from THE WILD WILD WORLD OF BATWOMAN]would not want to be stranded with:RAT FINK[same film]the worst super villian laugh ever!and his ultimate goal was what again?steal a phone bugging device?not quite a real good take over the world scheme if you ask me!
@127 Oh my gosh, you’re right! I was so overwhelmed by the Japanese obsession with the name Ken and boys in little pants, I just went with the norm. My bad. It’s JOHNNY I wouldn’t want to be stranded with. Thanks, Fart Bargo!! :-D
I’d choose to be stuck w/ MegaWeapon from “Warrior of the Lost World”. I LOVE MM.
I wouldn’t want to be stranded w/ a Neptune Man. They take forever to DO anything. We need to build a lean-to? Oh, take your TIMMME, Suppository Man. It would just be a bad pairing.
Stranded with – Ator. Survival skills…could probably figure out how to get us rescued (he can build a hang glider out of bamboo and coconuts, after all)…he can sit without using a chair…..and then there’s his sweet, sweet pecs.
Not stranded with – Dr. Ted Nelson…because even if we were completely alone on the island with nothing dangerous around for miles, he could still figure out how to get us ATCHKA killed!!!
It just occured to me that the worst person to be stuck on an island with would be that rich psycho from Bloodlust that like to hunt and kill people “most dangerous game” style on his ISLAND.
Stranded: Natalie from WEREWOLF
Not Stranded: Sid Melton
I didn’t check to see if anyone said this already, but another character I could be stranded with is Johnny LongBow from TRACK OF THE MOON BEAST: we could live off his stews of chicken, corn, green peppers, chili… (*sigh*) Onions…
Kevin #138 – Just make sure he doesn’t rush the Haloween season. Aaaah.
Hmmm…
Worst one to be stuck with: Watney Smith.
Would be stuck with? The first person to pop in my head was TOBLERONE!!
For me, I’d like to be stuck with Comfort from Secret Agent Super Dragon. I would just need to avoid deep meditation as she has a tendancy to prod people with letter openers!
A close runner up would be Meg Hubbard from Tormented. However, The thought of Vi’s ghost and the fact that the Island could have a lighthouse may complicate matters. I’d have to also bring a lot of “Sessions Presents” albums to pass the time!
Worst to be stuck with would be Tony Cardoza (mainly due to the fact that Coleman Francis can’t be too far behind!).
Definitely “Creepy Girl” from Catalina Caper, hands down!
Actually, I am not too sure about having Ator with me. Sure, he is all kinds of self reliant, but people around him tend to get killed apart from Thong and Tawny Kitaen. After all, he did let all of those virgins get eaten by the growling spider snakes. Vadinho would probably be my pick , I know I could count on him to pull me out of the fire. Least like to have with me would probably be Eddie Deezin in Laserblast, just because after a day of hearing that voice I would want to kill myself.
