MST3K #816: Prince of Space

Mystery Science Theater 3000 experiment #816: Prince of Space.
Originally aired August 16, 1997
Part of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection, volume 7.

An easy MST3K highlight from the eighth season, and its first season on Sci-Fi. "I like it very much!"

Earth is invaded by visitors from the planet Krankor, which is only half a million miles away, only to be opposed by the Prince of Space, the alter ego for a shoeshine boy named Wally. Prince of Space is seemingly invulnerable to just about everything, as he constantly reminds Krankor's forces that their weapons are useless against him. In the end, the Prince rescues several kidnapped Earth scientists, and saves the day.

This was also the first Sci-Fi episode that I ever taped, during a mini marathon on New Year's Day, 2000. A decent episode worth your time.
