Mystery Science Theater 3000 experiment #1008: Final Justice.
Original airdate: June 20, 1999.
Part of the fourteenth MST3K collection, available at Amazon.
This is the second, and unfortunately last, Joe Don Baker movie featured on the greatest TV show in history. As you may remember, Mitchell was the first, and there are a few references to that episode here, along with Mike attempting to escape, and justifying it by saying that Joel escaped after the last Baker movie, so he figured it was his turn.
Baker plays a Texas lawman named Thomas Jefferson Geronimo III, a fat-assed sheriff and junk food junkie. His partner is killed by an Italian mobster, so Geronimo goes out, catches him, and escorts him back to Italy, only to lose him in the city of Valletta. Geronimo decides to defy the local law enforcement by using Texas justice to capture the criminal.
During the host segments, Tom Servo considers the unexplored implications of "Owner of a Lonely Heart, and everyone is plagued by Yes orchestra hits shortly afterwards. Pearl Forrester encourages humor in the workplace, but later, loses it when Mike and the 'bots demonstrate how annoying it is when a film repeats the same scene twice in a row.
"Mike's tripping!"
Recommended episode, and one I haven't seen in several years.
