Audience Member MIGHTY JACK is one of the worst movies ever made. The awfulness of this movie is almost beyond comprehension- it is a punishing, torturous experience to sit through this. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Japanese spy thriller borrowing heavily from James Bond movies dubbing in English. Only made watchable thanks to MST3K. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review anthony w Kinda bland for a Tsuburaya production. Maybe they spliced together the wrong episodes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Real model action scenes with hilariously dubbed on English. complete with odd and amusing stereotypical accents. A bit slow in pasts but entirely watchable... whilst intoxicated. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Mighty Jack, as far as I know, is based on a TV series from Japan. Producer Sandy Frank took a couple of episodes from the series and combined them into a movie, exporting it to the US. The storyline and style of the movie is very reminiscent of stuff like Ultraman, but also reminds me a bit of Danger Mouse and Inspector Gadget. Not that those shows were based off of this one, but the crazy style and extravagant explosions and such remind me of them. Speaking of which, the special effects are probably the main reason to see this. They're pretty good for a TV series-turned-movie, but the rest is pretty much over the top and over my head. The crew at Mystery Science Theater 3000 do a nice riff on this one, and I'd say it's the best way to watch the movie. Watching it by itself isn't recommended, unless you intentionally want to turn your brain into mush. Well, maybe it's not that bad, but it's certainly not easy to follow or much fun. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Sandy Frank decided to take this espionage live-action TV series from Tsuburaya Productions, mash some episodes together for 1 feature length, leading to an incoherent mess. I'm still trying to figure out the plot about the ice that doesn't melt, and who is doing what. It doesn't make any sense in this edited version, and unfortunately, the original TV series is not available to watch... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
