Amazing Colossal Grade: ♫ Poopie suit... ♫ oh Poopie suit... ♫
Movie Pain: High - 2 minutes of story stretched out for hours!
Riffing: Hilarious
Skits: Brilliant! I laughed so hard I wet 'em!
The most sexually charged movie MST has ever done! I never knew that footage of jet fighters could be so naughty. Filled to the brim with frequent scenes of planes taking off and refueling and landing and refueling and bombing rectangles and refueling. What "Lost Continent" was to rock climbing, "The Starfighters" is to flight. So be prepared to drift into a catatonic state.
Due to the static nature of the film, this is a toughie to riff on and required premium effort from the writing staff. So it's pretty impressive that when they do fire with the funny, they generally strike their targets with pinpoint accuracy. From the variety of quips on the redundant refueling, to rollicking jests' on "Poopie Suits".
Toss in the superb skits where we witness Crow's frustrated attempts to log onto the information superhighway, observe a bold commercial for Ricochet BBQ sauce and thrill to the wonderful Servo Chorus - and "Starfighters", while not A+ perfect, still offers up ample laughs.
