Oh God. Being awake in the early 80’s late at night, HBO would air this 1977 stinker. Half-asleep, it was a drug for a pre-teen.
Christopher Lee you almost hit rock bottom with this.
Finally! A Rifftrax with everything. Precious bodily fluids. Flashy techno thingies. The lamest flying saucers since Plan 9. What else could you ask for? To be fair the preview probably had to leave out the seven foot reptile aliens and the green haired, large bosomed warrior women because of time constraints, but I’ll bet they’re in there. After all, it’s got Starship in the title.
Still waiting for them to do “Starship Dave”. :P
and Blood Hook.
Bill would be ripped a new one if they did that.
Rifftrax also has a new short available.
“Farm Family in Winter.”
Enjoy. :-)
Worth noting that MST3K fave Robert Vaughn is in this movie, too.
Janet Maslin’s review of “Starship Invasions” is hilarious.

Ohhhh, that’s a low blow!
The Farm Family series thus far has shown us the dreariness of farm life in the 60s. But at least SOMETHING happens in summer and fall. Farm Family in Winter really drives home how little happens between harvest and tilling.
It’s a welcome addition, and I look forward to the dreary excitement that the Farm Family experiences In Spring!
I’m trying to watch the preview on RT’s site, but I keep getting a “cross domain permission denied” error message. What does that mean?
I would just point out that despite the text Rifftrax uses, it was really more of a Close Encounters of the Third Kind tie in/rip-off, not Star Wars. It actually draws some of the background from UFO lore and in some ways predates the movies Communion and Intruders. UFOs were huge back then, even Jack Webb had a Dragnet style show about UFOs.
With that said, it’s a terrible movie and ripe for riffing.
IIRC, Mary Jo Phel said the MST crew considered “Starship Invasions” as a season 7 episode. (In the Amazing Colossal Episode Guide.)
No, this is the moss near the bottom–I’d put “Return From Witch Mountain” so further down, I’d even forgive him for putting on those punk sunglasses in “Howling II”.
This one’s about as Canadian as they got during the late-70’s tax-shelter days, but hopefully MK&B got all those riffs out of their system ahead of time.
So, sort of like the “Still the best movie I’ve seen with ‘Starship’ in it” riff, then?
Yes, when we see the wheel space-station in “Crash of Moons”, I was probably the only one hoping for a retro riff of “(dun dun-dun-dun dun dun DUNNN…) ‘Eziekel saw the wheel’–This is the wheel he said he saw.”
How about…a plot that revolves around graphic allusions to MASS SUICIDE! Won’t that add to the post-Star Wars sci-fi fun! :D
I’d seen this in the theater back when 8-12’s rushed to see anything that reminded you of the first Star Wars, and, ODG:
I expected MK&B to make their usual Merlin-esque joke in the writeup about “Okay, that’s all the way into just plain wrong…”, but in this case, I’ll make it for them.
The little 4th-grade-school-play robot with the mittens was practically lovable compared to what we get in the rest of the movie.
Rock bottom? Christopher Lee?
Charles Band’s END OF THE WORLD (1977).
Don’t know if it’s riffing material. It’s a ninety-minute exercise in stalling and padding; that might be a good thing or a bad thing. But I defy anyone to sit through the damned thing.

It might be suggested that this format grows a bit tedious with repetition. I could be wrong.
I think you’ve just identified the root problem with all comment sections.
