MST3K 820: Space Mutiny

My viewing of an improvised trilogy of Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes featuring movies I'm tempted to call Star Wars ripoffs is now complete. After two "movies" made by Americans editing together episodes of a Japanese television series, I'm now on to a South African (although Tom Servo thinks it's Canadian) production featuring stock footage from an earlier television series that has also been called a Star Wars ripoff in the past. The movie is "Space Mutiny," and I've seen the episode called one of Mystery Science Theater's finest more than once. I won't disagree.
