Excellence Level: Sir Glenn thinks King Bert did a royal good job here!
Movie Pain: Low - I actually had a good time watching this
Riffing: Cheeky good fun
Skits: Enchanting
A strange little fairy-tale from Bert I Gordon: Tells of a young knight (Gary Lockwood) who battles through 7 curses to save a princess from an evil wizard (Basil Rathbone), and his 2 headed dragon. A fun movie and weird, just like I likes 'em! I especially enjoyed sorceress Sybil's bald assistants (who provided this episode's stinger). Solid episode, well riffed, with few slow spots. Overall cute vibe - as when Joel gives Sir George a hard time about being able to defeat a puppet -Crow is somewhat incensed. Plus, a couple of good skits - Frank gets too much radiation, and Crow sings a love song to Estelle Winwood (wonderfully aided by Servo). Oh, and Merritt Stone? He plays the 'Grady' like King (to answer Paul's question from the ACEG).
Host Segments
Intro: Joel draws caricatures. Invention: J&TBs wear "Big Gulp Berets". Forrester has designer bio hazard throw pillows. Segment 1: Basil Rathbones for dogs. Segment 2: The gang play "Middle Ages", until Servo spoils it with a large dose of reality. Segment 3: Crow sings "Estelle". End: Words you can't say on TV, and TV's Frank is looking a bit thin. Stinger: The dude with 2 heads.
MST Hour Segments
Part 1: The host wields a sword and promises, "Today you’ll be especially glad you paid your cable bill". When we return, he is wearing a maiden's hat, which makes him feel pretty so he dances gracefully with a crewman during credits and forces him to bow at the end. Part 2: Jack swings sword before the recap. In segment 2 he’s feeling powerful with that blade in his hand, so he engages in swordplay with the crewman at the end.

Riff Explained
"Have Breakfast With Meeee!" - Joel
Cereal quips were popular during the Joel era. Kix, Quisp, Quake, have all been used as joke material. The riff above, said while Sir George spies on his royal highness, refers to a "King Vitaman" commercial. BTW: One of the Knights in Vitaman's court, was Sir Laffsitup, whose voice was provided by Paul Frees, the director of "The Beatniks" (Episode #415).
Stuff and Nonsense
Gordon wanted to have the dragon breath real fire because an overlay effect wouldn't have looked as authentic. Because of this, he couldn't use a miniature and actually built a dragon that was about 11 feet in height. On film, he boosted the size of the beast so that it looked much larger.

In conclusion, the magic sword MDT3K represents the epitome of power and mystique. Its incredible abilities and rich history make it a highly sought-after artifact. However, its true nature and potential remain a mystery, waiting to be unlocked by someone worthy of its power..
Reviews for "The Maguc Sword MDT3K's Place in Ancient Civilizations"
1. John - 2/5 stars - "I was really disappointed with 'The Magic Sword' on MST3K. The movie itself was already bad, and the commentary from the MST3K crew didn't really do much to make it enjoyable. The jokes felt forced and often missed the mark. It just felt like a waste of time and I was hoping for a better episode from one of my favorite shows."
2. Sarah - 3/5 stars - "I'm usually a big fan of MST3K, but 'The Magic Sword' episode fell flat for me. The movie was already so cheesy and poorly made, and unfortunately, the jokes from the cast didn't quite save it. It felt like they were struggling to come up with funny material, and the commentary lacked the usual wit and cleverness that I love about the show. While it wasn't the worst episode, it definitely wasn't one of the highlights either."
3. Mark - 2/5 stars - "I usually enjoy the riffing of MST3K, but 'The Magic Sword' episode just didn't work for me. The movie itself was such a mess that even the commentary from the crew couldn't salvage it. The jokes felt repetitive and uninspired, and it became more of a chore to sit through rather than an entertaining experience. I hope future episodes can bring back the magic that I love about the show."
4. Emily - 2/5 stars - "I was really excited to watch 'The Magic Sword' on MST3K, but it turned out to be a letdown. The movie itself was already difficult to sit through, and the jokes from the MST3K crew didn't add much to the experience. It felt like they were struggling to find material to riff on, and it resulted in a lackluster episode. I hope they can bounce back with better movie choices and funnier commentary in the future."
