Plot Overview

The Movie

Mighty Jack is an organization devoted to fighting the evil criminal organization known as "Q." They have many weapons, the best of which is a submarine. When an important man is kidnapped by Q, Mighty Jack springs into action and mounts a daring rescue. They discover that Q is making weapons out of a special type of water that remains solid at room temperature and are hiding in a secret ocean base made to look like an iceberg. Q attempts to board and take control of the submarine and Mighty Jack must fight them off.

The Host Segments

  • Opening Segment - The mad scientists try to figure out if they are indeed totally mad or just really angry.
  • Segment One - The bots weld themselves together, then run away to put on women's clothing and prance around the ship.
  • Segment Two - The bots talk about what humor is. They wonder if killing Joel would be considered funny.
  • Segment Three - The bots refuse to play with Joel, so he mopes around until the movie starts again.
  • Closing Segment - Joel and the bots read fan letters praising Tom Servo and then ones that are anti-Tom Servo.

Notes

  • This feature is made up of the first and last episodes of the Mighty Jack television series in Japan, essentially ignoring the entire series.
  • Mighty Jack was produced by Sandy Frank, who was very upset over the treatment of his films on the show. As a result, he refused to renew the rights for their broadcast and the episodes featuring his movies could not be re-aired once the rights expired.
  • Mighty Jack is one of the KTMA episodes that was re-done in a later season (3x14 - Mighty Jack)
