Sword And The Dragon

The movie’s budget and quality is clearly far beyond most MST3k fare and would be watchable on its own. Yet it’s still goofy enough to provide plenty of riff fodder. 617 - Sword and the Dragon. A 'heavy set furry old guy' saves the day! Finally, a hero I can relate to: Ilya, a man as meaty as Mike Nelsons head, uses the magic sword of Invincor to defeat the Tugars and their dragon. This is another of the Russian films by Aleksandr Ptushko and oh how I luvs 'em.

Plot[edit]

In the late-Yuan dynasty, martial art sects and warriors throughout China fight for the Dragon Sabre, which has been hidden unintentionally. 'Legend said that whoever obtains the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber can rule the world.'[3] Yu Daiyan retrieves the sword, but is later poisoned by Susu's brother, Yin Yewang. Susu arranges to transport the third brother back home to be treated, but an unknown mercenary cripples him.

Zhang Cuishan watches Tian Ying Sect give a demonstration of the dragon saber, only for it to be snatched by Xie Xun. After that, he brings Cuishan and Susu to a remote island, but their ship sinks. Cuishan and Susu arrive at Fire Ice Island. Xie Xun arrives at the same island the next day.

Susu gives birth to a son, and they name him Wuji in the memory of Xie Xun's son Xie Wuji. After ten years, Cuishan, Susu, and young Wuji leave the island without Xie Xun due to his choice to stay on the island and they return to the mainland. Upon reaching the mainland, they journey to Wudang. During the journey, Wuji is captured by one of the Xuan Ming Elders. Cuishan and Susu arrive at Wudang. Daiyan somehow recognizes Susu's voice. Cuishan takes responsibility for the many murders committed by Susu in the past and kills himself in front of multiple sects. Sanfeng and Susu rescue Wuji, then Susu kills herself. Wuji collapses because he is poisoned by the toxic chill of the Xuan Ming Divine Palm.

In a separate story arc, Miejue and her Emei disciples attack Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao kidnaps Xiaofu in front of everyone. Yang Xiao asks Xiaofu to take care of an orphan girl named Yan'er who had endured abuse for one month. After one month, Xiaofu wants to return to Emei and Yang Xiao tells her that Miejue will consider that she and he have something between them and must be killed. Xiaofu tells Yang Xiao that the Heavenly Reliant Sword means a lot to Miejue and she tricks Yang Xiao into promising never to see her again. Yang Xiao steals the Heavenly Reliant Sword from its Mongolian owner and secretly returns it to Emei. Xiaofu secretly left Emei and gives birth to a girl named Yang Buhui

Wuji leaves behind a note to Sanfeng that the god of mercy admires him and will cure him, then he runs away. Wuji lies by a tree and prepares to die but a girl named Zhou Zhiruo saves his life. Zhiruo's father looks for Yuchun. The next day, Zhiruo's father was ambushed and captured. He was brought to the market where Wuji and Zhiruo were selling oranges. The soldiers forced Zhirou's father to tell them the whereabouts of Chang Yuchun but he told them he doesn't know. Sanfeng arrives to save the day, but it was too late for Zhiruo's father and he dies. Yuchun brings Wuji to see Divine Physician Hu Qingniu. Qingniu does not want to treat Wuji's cold chill. By accident, he felt Wuji's pulse and changes his mind. Wuji studies Qingniu's books and he acquires some medical skills.

Miejue defeats Gold Flower Granny. Later, Miejue kills Xiaofu in grief for choosing Yang Xiao over Er Mei and this is witnessed by Wuji and Buhui. Wuji sends Buhui to her father Yang Xiao, then went on a journey back to Wudang. On the way home, Wuji rescues a monkey from dogs and he is injured by the dogs. The Zhu family tricks him to reveal Xie Xun's location. Wuji jumps off a cliff to and Mr. Zhu saves him. Both of them are alive but they are trapped on a small ledge. Wuji crawls through a narrow tunnel and later removes the Nine Yang Divine manual from an old ape and he masters it. Nine Yang Divine Skill allows Wuji to cure his cold poison.

Mr. Zhu kicks Wuji off the ledge. Wuji lands in a house and accidentally broke both his legs. Zhu'er helps him. Zhu'er attacks Jiu Zhen with her spider poison. At that time, Emei disciples are guests at Jiu Zhen's home. Emei disciples capture Zhu'er and Wuji.

Zhu'er and Wuji escape, but the attempt is short-lived. Emei disciples bring Zhu'er and Wuji as prisoners on their way to Bright Peak to exterminate Ming Cult. Wuji has an opportunity to privately speak to Zhiruo when looking for a herb.

Sword And The Stone Dragon

Wuji receives three very powerful punches from Miejue to save the lives and limbs of Ming Cult prisoners. Shuo Bude captures Wuji and brings him to the throne room. Wuji saves Ming Cult from extermination and reluctantly becomes the head of Ming Cult.

Sword And The Dragon Mst3k

Wuji and Ming Cult folks set out to bring Xie Xun from the remote island. On the way, they come across the sixth brother with all joints broken. The Ming Cult people go to Shao Lin and it is very strange that nobody is there. Wuji rushes to Wu Dang to save Wu Dang from extermination. Wuji uses Taiji Fist and Taiji Swordplay on the Mongolian princess Zhao Min's people.

Zhao Min captures and keeps the six sects in Wan An Si. Ming Cult and a spy within Zhao Min's people save the six sects. Miejue refuses to accept Wuji's help and plunges to her death.

When Emei disciples discuss whether Zhiruo or Minjun must be the next head, Golden Flower Granny captures Zhiruo and brings her to Divine Snake Island. Zhao Min uses a trick to ensure that she and Wuji are on the same ship as Jinhua Popo. On Divine Snake Island, Wuji delays his reunion with Xie Xun. Persian Ming Cult attacks Jinhua Popo. It ends with Xiao Zhao and her mother leaving for Persia with Persian Ming Cult people.

Slaying

One morning, Wuji wakes up very late and notices that Zhu'er is dead, and he realizes that Zhao Min and the dragon saber are missing. Wuji, Xie Xun, and Zhiruo return to the mainland.

Mo Shenggu sees Qingshu's attempts to rape Zhiruo and tries to kill him. It results in his own death.

At Youliang's urging, Qingshu tries to poison Sanfeng but he stops at the last minute. He is banished from Wu Dang.

And

Zhao Min lures Wuji away from his own wedding with Zhiruo.

All sects go to Shao Lin for an event. Zhiruo almost kills Wuji and emerges as the champion.

Zhao Min's father surrounds Shao Lin to exterminate all the sects. Zhiruo gives the Book of Wumu to Wuji. Wuji wins a few battles, but the tide turns after Zhao Min's death by her father. While everyone's fate depends on Wuji, he ignores them and mourns at Zhao Min's tombstone. Many people die, including Qingshu, Minjun, Yin Tianzheng, Xie Xun, many different cult disciples, and many soldiers. Shao Lin's siege finally ends when the Ming Cult army from Hao Zhou arrives.

It is revealed that Zhao Min is not dead after all. Her brother convinces her father to spare her and sends her back to Mongolia. But she returns for Zhang Wuji as she tells him she can't live without him. Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min finally meet her father and her brother for a peace treaty. The meeting goes well until Zhao Min's father was assassinated by Zhu Yuanzheng. Zhao Min leaves Zhang Wuji when he chooses his country over her despite him saying that he still cares for her and vows to go to Mongolia and find her, no matter what.

The Ming Cult army has recovered most of China, and Yuan emperor Toghon Temür flees to Eurasian Steppe, where the Yuan remnants establish the Northern Yuan dynasty. Wuji, not wanting to be a sovereign for fear of being corrupted by power, chooses to remain in a righteous path, and charges his followers to carry on being China's protectors against tyranny, injustice, and other threats. (Off-screen, Zhu Yuanzhang, having earned a heroic reputation that rivals Wuji's from his battles against the Yuan forces, won support from his subordinates and allies, and becomes the Ming dynasty's founder, the Hongwu Emperor).

In Mongolia, Wuji finally gets to be together with Zhao Min.

Mike: When one sword meets an incorrigible dragon!

Film watched: The Sword and the Dragon

As you can guess, despite having quite a lot of good special effects for the late-1950s, this movie was prime riffing material for MST3K. Among other things, the riffing often centered on the fact that the movie 'came from Finland,' despite being a Russian-made movie. Like a previous Russian-made-otherwise film that appeared on the show, the changes were likely made to avoid mentions of Russia during the height of the Cold War.. but it doesn't change how goofy the whole thing was.

The Segments:

Prologue
  • Tom Servo hosts the first (and last) game of Dungeons & Dragons in the Satellite of Love.

Segment 1

  • Dr. Forrester and Frank have just gotten new neighbors.. girls! Desperate to impress, they ask Mike and the 'Bots to entertain them. They put on a topical satirical revue, Supercalafragalistic-expialawacky!!!, which proves entertaining to everybody but the girls.

Segment 2

  • Crow and Servo present 'A Joke by Ingmar Bergman.'

Segment 3

  • Gypsy is making a tablecloth with help from the local forest critters, as portrayed by Mike, Servo, and Crow.
The

Segment 4

  • Ilya from the movie contacts the S.O.L. and reveals that he is now working at a pancake house. He is beaming with pride for his work until Crow suggests serving ham on the side instead of bacon, and then he loses it.

Segment 5

  • Gypsy offers her review of Supercalafragalistic-expialawacky!!!, which commends Mike for his talent but considers Servo as the weakest part. Thinking the girls will be back for a date, the Mads are loafing around Deep 13 until the phone rings and they panic.

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation has examples of:

  • Artistic License: Tom Servo's Dungeons & Dragons session is ludicrously truncated; Servo never explains the rules or character abilities to his players, and decrees the outcome of a combat encounter via Game Master Fiat rather than dice rolls. Most likely due to a combination of time compression and Rule of Funny.
  • Disney Creatures of the Farce: Gypsy parodies the scene where Ilya's wife sings as forest creatures help her create a magic tablecloth, with the help of Mike & the 'Bots. Gypsy bails on the sketch early because it's too weird for her.
  • Feghoot: 'A Joke By Ingmar Bergman'. Roughly four-and-a-half minutes long, slow as molasses, all for the sake of the punchline:
    Crow: When you're out of slits, you're out of pier.
  • Getting Crap Past the Radar:
    Servo:(as Ilya) Yes, son?
    Servo: Mother..!
  • Advertisement:
  • Heel–Face Turn: After Falcon learns Ilya is his dad, he immediately switches sides, w/o shock, angst, or any assessment on how cool it is to be a Tugar or how crappy it is to be Russo-Finnish.
    Mike: The kid's loyalty turns on a dime!
  • Ho Yay, Invoked:
    Crow: It may be the wine, Lars, but you're a pretty man..
  • Hot-Blooded: One sketch parodies Ilya's hot-tempered, quick-to-insult nature in the film by showing that he throws his entire self into whatever he does, be it defending his homeland from rampaging hordes or working at a dinky pancake house. When Crow tries to request some honey-baked ham slices in place of a bacon side, Ilya pulls out his sword ready to run the little guy through until Mike gives him a quest just to placate him.
    Ilya: That is a SUBSTITUTION, spawn of the DEVIL!
    Crow: Well, now, hey, hold on there —
    Ilya: NO ONE, not even a TUGAR, shall order OFF THE MENU!
    Mike: Hey, yo, Ilya! Yo, Muromets!
    Ilya: What?!
    Mike: Hey, c'mon, you're, you're Ilya Muromets! Defender of the realm! I mean, accept this challenge — prove to us that you could bring ham!
    Ilya: Yes.. yes, yes, I will gather my strength, and I shall go FORTH, and I shall go to the back and I shall request HAM! For it is HAM that I seek! HAM! HAM!
    Crow: Good luck!
    Ilya:(Bellowing at the top of his lungs)HAAAAAAAMMMMM!
  • Incredibly Lame Pun:
    Crow: When you're out of slits, you're out of pier.note
  • Killer Game Master: Servo, apparently.
  • Large Ham: Kevin Murphy's performance as Ilya during one host sketch. Bonus points for him hamming it up about ham.
  • Luke, I Am Your Father: Ilya reveals himself to Falcon, who was raised by Khali.
    Crow: Great; my dad's Burl Ives.
  • Million Mook March: Called out by Crow during one of the wide shots of the Tugar army on the move.
  • Mondegreen: Servo hears and repeats Durbar's name as 'Dove Bar' during the movie's 2nd act.
  • Nerds Are Virgins: The opening and closing segments with Forrester and TV's Frank meeting the girls from Deep 12 revolve around this trope.
  • Notable Original Music: Anything used for Supercalafragalistic-expialawacky!!!
  • Overly Long Gag / Deliberately Monochrome / 'Shaggy Dog' Story: 'A Joke By Ingmar Bergman'
    • Shown Their Work: Of course, most of the joke is a parody of Bergman's Leave the Camera Running directorial style.
  • Shout-Out:
    • Rocky and Bullwinkle references abound once they recognize Paul Frees voicing Kalin.
    • The above-mentioned Feghoot, which was just an Overly Long Gag meant to give them an excuse to reference a Schlitz Beer motto.
    • As the Russo-Finns, dressed in blue and white, charge over the steppes: 'Fifty thousand Maria von Trapps face off against the Mongol horde!'
      Mike & The 'Bots:(singing over each other)The hills are alivethe hills are alivehills are aliveare alive—!
    • 'The whole point of having a dragon is to tell the vorld you have a dragon! Vhy did you keep it a secret?!'
  • Take That!: 'Supercalifragilistic-expialawacky' can best be summed up by Mike's second stanza:
    Mike: (singing, dressed as Uncle Sam) I'm the government, I'm the government, I'm filled with bloat and perks! I'm the government, I'm the government — I'm the reason nothing works!
  • The Trope Formerly Known as X: The episode came out after Prince changed his name. No prizes for guessing what was referenced in one riff.
    Subject: Oh radiant prince!
    Servo: That's 'The Artist Formerly Known as Radiant Prince.'
