MST3K Bad Editing Riffs |
As
a film editor I feel it is my duty to list
here all the MST3K bad editing riffs.
I think I just broke my neck in that jump cut.
Mike, Red Zone Cuba
(MY MOST FAVORITE QUOTE)
He's hitting him with jump cuts!
Mike, Terror From the Year 5000!
I guess the editor got called out of the room a lot.
(as the film quickly goes back & forth from Melissa to Jody with horrible
timing)
Crow, Touch of Satan
Let's get in the shot before the
jump cut occurs.
Mike, The Screaming Skull
Cut to 2! Cut to camera 2!
(during a 5 hour shot of Hamlet yakking to the ghost...whom we never see)
Mike, Hamlet
Cut to the ghost! Cut to the ghost!
(during a 5 hour shot of Hamlet yakking to the ghost...whom we never see)
Servo, Hamlet
At least its poor editing covers
how badly it was shot.
Crow, Devil Fish
Just because you can edit doesn't mean you should.
Servo, Devil Fish
It's a better edited movie than Batman
& Robin.
Crow, Devil Fish
----------------------
(These 3
riffs are after my most favorite bad editing shot when Buz suddenly appears
sitting in the booth when he was not there seconds before)
I'm back!
Servo, Girl in Gold Boots
Anybody notice that I'm here now?
Mike, Girl in Gold Boots
C'mon! I just teleported here! It's impressive!
Crow, Girl in Gold Boots
--------------------
And the editor comes to the writer's rescue.
Servo, The Space Children
Stop cutting!!!
(to Sam, to Buffalo, to Sam to Buffalo, back forth back forth forth back faster
faster...AHHHH!)
Servo, Riding With Death
Watch out for the editing!
(as our heroine gets "stabbed" and "falls")
Mike, Deathstalker & the Warriors From Hell
I think she just got edited to the ground.
(as our other heroine "falls" from her horse)
Servo, Deathstalker & the Warriors from Hell
Why you clever bastard! So the editor's working with you?!
(after Deathstalker miraculously appears in a doorway during a fight)
Mike, Deathstalker & the Warriors From
Hell
I think the editing philosophy of this movie was 'don't stay on anything
too long, it doesn't look good enough'.
Mike, Gorgo
Passed from editor to editor in a desperate attempt
to save it!
(during the many editor names in the opening credits)
Mike, Space Mutiny
Well, grips the interest of one disturbed editor.
(during many newspaper images that claim some murders are "gripping the
interest" of the public)
Servo, The She Creature
This movie must have had the hell edited out of
it!
(during the many many editor names listed in the opening credits)
Servo, Horror of Party Beach
You see it doesn't matter how slow I go, I'll
catch him -- my son's the editor.
Crow, Outlaw
Home movies are more tightly edited
than this.
Servo, Laserblast
