Wow Strange
Having watched all of the MST3Ks that were free on Prime I was happy to see a few Cinematic Titanic selections become available. Legacy of Blood is the first I've watched so I don't know the setup (why their silhouettes are setup as they are in this vs. MST3K, Cinematic Titanic seems to take up more screen space) but the jokes are there and that's what is most important.
As to this specific movie--Legacy Of Blood--wow what a strange one! The 70's were a crazy time when even good movies were odd making bad movies off the charts, but at least this means there was plenty of material for the crew to riff off. I'd give this one 4/5. It's better than some of the drier fare MST3K chewed through like Red Zone Cuba or The Starfighters, but miles short of Final Sacrifice or Manos the Hands of Fate. It had a bit of "gore" that probably wouldn't have been allowed on the series though it is still extremely tame by modern standards.
Kudos to Amazon for getting it onto...
Up there with the best of MST3K
I'm a fan of MST3K, and have seen a lot of those. This is the first Cinematic Titanic I've seen, and I was pleasantly surprised at how funny and clever it was. If you're an MST3K fan, I'd undoubtedly recommend this. (I next watched the Cinematic Titanic episodes The Oozing Skull and The Wasp Woman, and they didn't reach the level of this one.) Enjoy!
getting there is half the funi
I should say more than half the fun. I had no idea that there were so many copiers of this format. these folks do a good job. seems a tad too many of them. still it is a fun ride
