- You found Cave Dwellers. You know you can watch every full episode of MST3k at www.club-mst3k.com right?
It is the ancient past or perhaps the medieval era or maybe 17th century Bulgaria or 19th century Japan. Ator is a legendary swordsman / body builder / scholar / scientist / healer / warrior whose trademarks include a well-developed fat-free physique, little pants, a resplendent mane of freshly-shampooed locks complete with adorable Samurai top-knot, leather accessories, a pointy little visor and the ability to fight - poorly - with two swords at once. (from wikia)
“Use the handrails. I invented them for a reason.” Still my favorite line.
I love how Ator drinks from a glass given to him by a guy who hates him, and then is shocked to find it's drugged.
Ator is the Wish version of Conan.
This is my favorite episode for irrational reasons. So comforting and still hilarious after all these years.
1:02:44 - "This is CNN. Luke."
@@GlitchanBlack not mine but earth vs the spider fugitive alien are the funniest episodes to me😊
I love how Thong waits until the half dozen innocent people are dead before trying to save anyone.
One of Frank's funniest moments is how he comes back so coolly from the robot match.
''Why is she limping?'' '''cause she has an arrow in her chest'' lmao
“Oh……huhh?”😂
(after cannibalizing a human heart)
"I want a Barny Clarke Bar!"
Clark Bar was a candy. Barny Clarke was the first patient implanted with an artificial heart prosthetic.
Jean-Paul Audette
Whoa! I never got that. Thanks!
One of those lines that just sounded funny, and you assumed it had to do with something or other...
“They’re invisible!”
“Oh man. I don’t believe it, they were too cheap to hire villains!”
hey why dont you pick on your own appassady

*"Oh Come ON!"*
"Drink it all... Sometimes the poison's on the bottom!"
This movie seems like a extremely complicated D&D campaign.
It was and the DM tried killing off the party 6 times only to tpk the plot.
Ah, but not as "complicated" as 'Hawk the Slayer' 😁
The villain with the bangs and a mustache looks like he could be Manos's brother.
"We secretly switched Ator's coffee..." I love when they reference that!
"Ouch! I landed on my 8-sided dice!"
More relevant now, than ever.
"How much Keefe is in this movie, anyway?"
"Miles O'Keefe!"
Dumb joke but still my favorite of the whole thing. ^_^
Seriously, that one's been a running gag w/ a friend and I for decades. Thanks in part to ST: tNG and DS9. How much Brien?
I love the 'subtle' stoner jokes that I missed as a kid :D
@@jean-paulaudette9246 Miles O'Brien!
Miles O'Keefe was a big fan of this episode too, he said the movies were a surreal experience
Mine too. I don't know why such a silly joke makes me laugh so hard.
This was the first episode of MST I ever saw. Fell instantly in love with the show.
This is CNN. Luke.
I love how the show ended, Mike Nelson. Tom Servo and Crow all sitting on the couch in his apartment and they start watching a shitty movie. Just awesome
That Opening Titles sketch is one of the funniest things in the history of this show 😂
An Mst3k a day keeps the gloom away.
RocketAdrenaline4220 but watching more than one a day never hurt nobody. 😂
Amen fellow misties, amen.
The world is so full of deep hurting that MST3K is all I can watch these days. The bots keep me sane.
"This is the part of the movie we like to call, 'She had to ask.' "
Apparently Lisa Foster became a digital artist - she was lead producer in the digital dept for The Two Towers video game in 2002.
This guy never thought that Lisa foster might be a common name lol
@@cm9241 I actually looked it up on IMDB
@@samuelstephens6163 She also was a senior producer for the new modern warfare 2.
Ator's waiting until almost everyone is eaten by snakes... What a hero!
"Geez, Tolkien couldn't follow this plot."
"Many years ago,"
"Oh, not another flashback!" DX
I have rewatched the hang-glider scene at least a dozen times. Tom Servo: “This is a LITTLE ridiculous.” The funniest thing I’ve ever heard said.
"Zor wants to possess your father's knowledge."
(Crow) "And your mother's wardrobe."
"why is she limping"
"she has an arrow in her chest"
"oh yeah... huh"
lol my favorite riff on this ep.
I liked "She's in LOVE!"
@@jean-paulaudette9246 "You idiot, we don't even have a doe license."
Cave Dwellers was actually the first MST3K episode I saw and might actually be my favorite. My favorite part was probably the flashback scene with lines like; "this plot is harder to follow the tokken" and "objects in shield are larger than they appear" were all hilarious.
I miss MST3K so much.
The Folger's Crystals joke never gets old for me.
New season of MST3K will cover _Ator: The Fighting Eagle_ which means we'll finally see the entire movie shown in the flashback!
Episode 12 of Season 12. As described at 12:12
I KNEW that guy in the thumbnail looked like him before watching this!!
New mst3k sucks
Ator is the Wish version of Conan.
This is the part of the film we like to call: "She HAD to ask."
Starting off season 3 strong with "Cave Dwellers." This was the first MST3K episode I ever saw and watching after watching it again, I am relieved to find that it's just as hilarious as the first time.
somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd season the show really started to improve. some of my first episodes were The Revenge of the Creature (Mike era) and Space Travelers (Joel era)
This was also the first episode to air on Comedy Central.
3:00 I love how Dr. Forrester shoves Frank away, and Frank just calmly sits there. X>]
Their parody of the opening credits at 23:00 had me in tears
One of my favorite MST moments for sure!
The fake credits are so hilarious I constantly miss Joel and the Bots' sheananigans... :(
1:16:49 I love that when Trace starts doing Madame's voice he keeps moving Crow's mouth for a while.
I actually COULD see Robotic Arm Wrestling becoming a legit thing
"INVISIBLE MONSTERS" (the studio accountants LOVED that concept!)
Joel's delivery of "DO WHAT I DO" during the invention exchange is hilarious.
"It's the best show evah! It's brassy, sassy, it's a musical humdingah!"
I think that hang glider caught me more off guard than anything in any movie ever.
It's a little ridiculous.
Not the three wheeler tracks? I'm surprised they didn't have electric lighting!
I know this sounds weird but... When I first saw this episode, I was kinda expecting a dinosaur appearance.
That was "Yor the hunter of the future" WITH hangglider! :D
Henry Kissinger says merry Christmas you dirty rats
"Why is she limping?"
"Because she has an arrow in her chest."
"Oh I can see-WHA?"
"Destroying life is something man shouldn't take upon himself"
...Huh, I wish you'd told him that before he murdered a small country's worth of barbarians earlier in the picture
"Oh no, they've jumped right into a Kurosawa film!"
"So it'll start making sense?"
"Mhm! Yup, Toshiro Mifune, right there."
Eeeeeeee! I love when MST3K references awesome things. :D
IM HUGE DIG ME!
Easily one of my favorite episodes, the sketches were brilliant, the riffs were completely on point. I can't imagine who wouldn't have given this thumbs up!!
Mst3k is my asmr
I like how it takes Mila no time at all to get to Ator's place but the whole rest of the film to get back...
Oh, thank you ! I thought i was the only one to find that perfectly unsettling XD
Based on the progression of the scenes with her dad & Freddie Mercury, it looks like she got there in under twenty minutes. But even if you decide to roll with the movie, and believe that it did take her much longer than that, she gets there with the arrow still in her shoulder, not a drop of blood on her clothes, clean hair, not hungry... *keeps on with this list until the break of dawn*
C'm'on, movie : help me to help you !
They took the long way
The "Daddy there's a boy outside" part always cracks me up.
iam16bits
Me too. Tears, side aches. Every time. Oh man. So funny.
Me too still to this day!
it's making fun of a very sappy song called the men in my little girl's life
"Why don't you pick on someone your own opacity" 37:40
38:04
Servo: "So let's recap the action so far..."
Joel: "Eh, nothing really."
Servo: "Ahh you're right, let's move on now..."
"Borromel...the thorough but gentle laxative...."
SerialGothQueens I was reading this as they said it, my brain hurts!
Weird. I always thought the same thing whenever I heard "Boromir."
One of those riffs when I’m not sure why it makes sense, but it just hits hard on the funny bone.
While we may disagree on who the best host (I like Joel best myself) I think we can all agree that Dr Forester and TV's Frank were the best villains. Also Kevin Murphy and Trace Beaulieu had the best voices for Tom and Crow.
If the John Saxon type guy lived today he would be a coffee barista.
Fun fact, Miles O'Keefe loves this episode.
This movie is almost the reason he is Miles O'Keefe, measured in feet to sound longer.
I love how the cave floor is completely flat and has no obstacles.
"How much Keefe is in this movie?"
"Miles O'Keefe!"
"What's Wrong?"
"I'm all out of blue stuff"
"Come on. I'll buy you a beer"
Thanks, Thong! I'll visit you in prison and bring you rice cakes with files in 'em.
Mark Griggs Somebody's definitely been four wheelin
Mark Griggs "just a few dozen more!"
The bad guys are called Cave Dwellers while Ator himself lives in a cave..
MST3K's Ator opening is everything.
So apparently...Lisa Foster, the female lead, directed two cutscenes in Parasite Eve and in other games. Life is such a random random event.
I have a ton of nostalgia for this episode. This was the first episode I ever saw (the MST Hour version). Then I saw Pod People and I was hooked.
Tgr2k1 oh my gosh Pod People! My brother and I quote from that one and Manos the Hands of Fate all the time!
"It sticks! Wa wa waaa..." lol
My first was The Day the Earth Froze. I was hooked ever since. :)
Tgr2k1 this was episode was so funny👻
Pod people and cave dwells are two of the best, and if u watch carefully, u will notice that the opening credit scenes are not from the films. Matter of fact, they are from completely different films. Check it out again and get back to me so I can make sure I'm not crazy.
same here! This followed by Pod People. Circa 1994.
"Ungh, I'm grinding the basil and adding some Romano cheese!"
Apparently Miles O'Keeffe (Ator) and Lisa Foster (Mila) have seen this and think it's hilarious. Heard this from the MST guys themselves.
IDK about Lisa, but the rumor is that Miles liked the riff so much that he requested a copy of this back when VHS was the top of the line tech. And the misty crew sent him one.
Good sport that Miles guy. :)
Other than Joe Don Baker and Tojo Studios, the only ones I that I ever heard got upset with MST3K was the people of "Time Chasers." (title edited; tx JvF below.)
Yeah, the "Time Chasers" crew were more bummed than angry - MST3K paying for the rights to riff on the movie actually helped them pay off the film costs and see some profit, so they were in high spirits, and then they watched the riffed version, and, uh... they were NOT expecting the commentary to be as caustic as it was. Some of the MST3K cast later said that was one of the best movies they ever had to mock.
I met the director of Zaat (aka Blood Waters Of Dr Z) randomly once and he wasn't too pleased I only knew the movie from MST3K. But that seemed to be more because they didn't really license the rights, said they just went ahead and made the show before they'd worked out a licensing fee.
Let me get this straight: this whole movie was building up to a message... about not using nuclear weapons?
WHAT THE F-
Yup. The father of the bad Red Sonja ripoff character and friend to the Conan rip-off character apparently developed NUCLEAR FUSION in the middle of the freaking Dark Ages.
kiraina25 not to mention hang gliders
umg SPOILERS mang
Well there is an ancient city that shows evidence of a nuclear blast.....higher radiation, vitrified stones and pottery, and the skeletons of the people looked as if they were running for their lives from something terrible. Mohenjo Daro
It was the 80's. There were posters that said "How can you hug your children with nuclear arms?" and Sting was singing lyrics like "I hope the Russians love their children too". Everybody had a message back then. (...tbh I think "Red Skies" by the Fixx was the coolest)
"A man in the sky? Get out of here, enough of your lies!"
It said with almost the exact same cadence as “king of the Jews? Quote from Jesus Christ superstar. It’s a line they referenced a few times over the years
The growling snakes get me every time I watch this episode.
Why is she limping?
Because she has an arrow in her shoulder. :)
Best line of the movie.
+Tinymoezzy She took an arrow to the kn-SHOULDER.
Super Cosmic Mutant Honey Candle Squid So this is what love feels like.
LOL it's like actors who cough to indicate that they're sick/dying, regardless of the illness.
She’s in love
"Is 'Charles in Charge' over?? Thanks for showing up!"
"Hef? We're all out of Evian!"
The scariest part is that this was part 2 of a SERIES. It had TWO SEQUELS!
New Line Cinema presents, a Trilogy of classic fantasy movies: Cave Dwellers!
Why? Why?!!! WHY????
The rebooted MST3K *really* needs to do another Ator film.
+Marilyn Newman
The 70's were a big time for movies-- and a very messed-up time for pretty much everything else.
You got your wish. They did the first Ator film on the most recent Netflix season.
I think one reason why their recreation of the title sequence is so funny is that they had the music playing over the sounds they were making rather than replacing them. All the hollow, plastic sounds take it over the top.
"Alright, ya crummie rats, Henry Kissinger says, 'Merry Christmas!'" This had me in bits the first time! Brilliant.
How can Miles O'Keefe have muscles, six pack abs, a strong jaw, heavy brow, and a rigid posture and still seem effeminate? Is it the hairstyle? The shaggy boots? The undersized loin cloth? Or all of the above?
***** Maybe he's like Bruce Jenner and is transgender.
+MAXBLAYLOCK It's that fucking headband. It's like him and the girl accidentally got each other's in wardrobe.
Spameggssausage Just not as bouncy. lol
Its the Bewbs!
@@gofroggy2443 It's the Speedy Delivery guy, and has he got a package!
Ator flies and so does my heart!
Joel’s off key- “Flyyy🎼”
"Dreezle drazzle, druzzle, drum, time for this one to come home!"
... did they just reference an obscure short from a 1960s cartoon? Holy crap.
kiraina25 yup I love Tooter Turtle
...oh so bob hope owns all of this?
@@cavalierfan1995 Yeah yeah, we're thinkin' about turning it into a nine-holer....
Daddy, there’s a boy outside…
TV’s Frank’s face after Dr. F tells him to shut up - holding that little, groovy Mike Douglas Show flower decal... smile crestfallen, but eyes still sparkling with hope and tummy butterflies.
Lmaoooooooo
"His name is Tom"
"Shut up!"
this is a very funny episode. I love it where Crow T Robot says not even Tolkien could follow this !
Cah-veh Dwellers....
And the commercial sign where they recreate the intro; gets me every time. XD
That whole Ator back story was like being verbally waterboarded.
I think your cape is FABULOUS!!!
Joel Robinson as that mean John Saxon-type guy.
I'm dead. XD
I liked the closing credits for their mock credits play went to "Mother, Jugs and Speed"
Sandor is the glue that holds this movie together
BluePedal underrated character 😂
You can call him Sandy
Miles wasn't just a sport about it. After this episode first aired he contacted the producer of MST3k and requested a video copy of the episode.
Servo quoting Brian's Song....the best
I just love how passionate Servo gets about Batman and graphic novels. He's such a geek, and therefore relatable for viewers of this show.
This is my second favorite MST episode. Joel's at his finest
I enjoyed... watching this... very... much....
I see what you did there🤣
i just...
thank you.
"cah-vay dwellers" has always been a favorite of mine, and this is perfect for a rainy day when i don't want to rummage through my dvds to find it.
:)
"Forrester, Forrester, Dr. Clayton Forrester!"
FRANK!!!! 😅
My man just pulled a hang-glider out of nowhere.
"Theory of flight? I'll teach you the theory of FIST!"
"That one stung! He hit that time."
*Sees Ator*
Oh God! MST3K has finally gone full circle!
Best MST3K to go to sleep with. Dull old guy gets me to pass out every time.
"Daddy? There's a boy outside. His name is To.."
"Shut UP!"
Uh, folks, we have snakes GROWLING here.
Maybe my favorite Tom Servo riff.
use the handrails, i invented them for a reason
It's astonishing to me that the previous Ator movie turned enough of a profit to make a sequel financially worthwhile. How did more than ten people sit through it without asking for their money back?
Also, when the pseudo-samurai show up at about the 48 minute mark might be the saddest part. You can smell the desperation to steal some cred from classic movies, but it only reminds you that you'd be better off watching one of them.
"Scientists have known for over a year now that smoking is bad for you!"
55:42
There's a monolith outside! Everybody's evolving and stuff
Then he worked out on the charismatic Soloflex of Zonatar 13
I still haven't laughed harder to an MST3K than this one...particularly their reenactment.
I always wondered if Cave Dwellers was one of those deals where the pilot episodes of a failed TV show were stuck together to make a "movie" of sorts. It would explain the dodgy editing and why Ator's entire life history was crammed into a five minute flashback at the beginning instead of being explained gradually. There definitely seem to be a couple of obvious "fade to commercial" moments in there too.
A lot of the dodgy editing and flashbacks are from the first movie in the series. Ator The Fighting Eagle.
Nah, this is a sequel. They are recapping the previous movie there.
@@olinseats4003 Which can be made fun of in the 2nd Season of Netflix's MST3K. Jonah and the bots have to watch "Ator The Fighting Eagle"
I still after 20 years don't understand how the beginning credits go with the rest of this damned movie...
I was talking about the open credits to the movie cave dwellers. Not the MST3K opening credits
+Stellar Marvel IT was sort of the trademark of the distribution company. They did it with most of their movies. Another one appearing on MST3K was called Pod People, and likewise had credits from a totally different movie.
Anyway, the other movie shown in the credits is called Taur The Mighty. Another film distributed by, the same company.
This makes sense as I did notice the same with Pod People.. Great information.. Thanks!
+Stellar Marvel it was originally called blademaster, italian conan ripoffs, all starring miles okeefe as ATOR! I think the opening credits are for the TV version, just a guess
They really should have opened up like Yor: Hunter From The Future
Yor's World!
Well, Joel created it and both Mike and Joel agree that Joel was the better host. Joel's delivery is just gold. And I love his sort of fatherly relationship with the bots.
