Mystery Science Theater 3000: QUEST OF THE DELTA KNIGHTS Rewatch

April 3, 2019 5:37 PM - Season 9, Episode 13

Rewatch! It is not rare for stories and movies, from Howard to Tolkien, to use a generalized sort of "times of lore" setting for fantasy, which doesn't do too badly if you don't push it too hard. This movie pushes it too hard. What the hell is a "Mannerjay" supposed to be, anyway? This is the one where Pearl riffs in the theater for the first quarter of the movie. Previously.

The wonderful thing about watching this now is comparing it to the two Wizards of the Lost Kingdom movies and realizing how good we all had it with David Warner and Faux-Leonardo Da Vinci.

They live in Europe somewhere...

Delta Knights? I think the Pan Am Knights were much better. Or the United Knights... Or even the Western Knights (the only way to fly).
