Sandy Frank! Sandy Frank! We have to watch Sandy Frank! (Those sentences were sung while being written.) Mighty Jack opens similar to Fugitive Alien with shots of a ship sitting in dock. This time is a submarine and boat. This one is yet again torn apart from a Japanese TV show, but instead of doing the full season they simply did the first and sixth episodes. Then pictures of slavery and death! We hear a group named Q wants to take over the world and force peace. So the Japanese president forms a group to stop Q called Mighty Jack. Mighty Jack is to be formed from talented men and women. We get shot around to different locations then we stop at Paris as we see people drinking, people smoking, and lamps. A man drives off. His car gets caught in a net and he is flown away. His name is Mr. Atari and Q captured him. Some lady talks about it to a colonel and he contacts Mighty Jack. Also one of them is named Catharine. How many are named Ken? Then a bizarre dolly shot as Catherine and the general talking. Atarai throws a button that explodes, a shot of pistons, and then a member of MJ talking to the general. They go flying and they try to find Mr. Atari. Atari pulls the heel off and finds a communicator. Is no one watching him on a camera? He puts some stuff together and like Tom I am bored and humming a song to myself. They find his location and Q’s jet fires at MJ’s ship. Then we see a toy boat pretending to be a real boat. They get the exact signal and it looks like the came person who plays Tammy is Fugitive Alien. “We have to send out Mighty Jack!” Didn’t you already? So the ship rises from the water and flies into a boat I think. They lock him in his chair I guess then drop something on him. It’s said to blind him and they say the light would blind him. Wouldn’t that also scorch his skin? He immediately caves. A woman talks into her lipstick outside of MJ’s headquarters. She pulls the eye off a picture and I assume that was a hiding spot for MJ. Q contacts them and threatens them with a nuke and says if they give over MJ they’ll free Atari. One of the guys in MJ says they shouldn’t and leave him cause Atari gives him some sass. An assassin threatens the colonel and when she flees she exploded. One of the members of MJ scuba dives onto an island and his clothes are dry. Must have the Formal Flippers. Another member of MJ goes out to meet Jerry the member of MJ who just found Atari. He rolls on like four suppressors too. Then cause the guy who came in screwed up all the doors and windows lock and poison gas is leaked into the room. Also all Jerry’s suppressors are gone! Jerry tries to swat away the gas, which is just humorous. Atari says, “Don’t move! We have to get a out!” He just contradicted himself. Apparently it was the other guy who had all the suppressors. He blows up the door. Before they can leave Atari says they have to blow up the building. They drive off in their boat at night then a jet flies out of the water in the morning, then Q fires the nukes at night, and MJ bombing them at night. I assume the take off shot from the water was stock footage from earlier. Then more missiles fired in the day, then to night, then back to morning, then more stock footage of a shot we just saw! Jesus I have never had a more appropriate need to use this line from Ed Wood! “What do you know about film making? It’s called suspension of disbelief!” Atari suggests they blow up the island and they immediately bend to his whim. Then we see slowed down footage of the ship crashing in water. Atari is actually a Major. Did no one think to brief anyone? Atari talks to the colonel and they talk about an alloy and breakfast. MJ goes to Antarctica and finds Q there. We see some toy divers do to a place. MJ blows up a Q submarine. Jerry and some other guy get hurt. The colonel talks abut how a possible Q base made entirely of ice. Then we see that Q is spying on MJ. Then the leader of Q laughs. In boredom the gang sings the “Forklift Song” from Fugitive Alien. A girl sent t o investigate is beaten by Q and is saved by a guitar player. He’s apparently a guy who helped out in a 3rd world. Then cut to a scantly dancer. I love where this scene is headed. Doesn’t go anywhere sadly. He talks to her about MJ so I assume he’s a member of Q. Someone tries to snipe them and they run off to stop him instead of trying to shoot at him. These agents suck at their job. They find a transparent bullet and it cannot melt. Also colonel finally found the Q tracker. He apparently knew about it. They ask a doctor who they suspect is a member of Q about the hot ice bullet. Turns out the doctor’s assistant we just met named Fritz is also his son. The guitar dude captures Catherine and gives her to Q. Fritz betrays the doctor. The doctor acts surprised, but he is German. Two members of MJ go to inspect the Doctor’s house and find a thing that super freezes water. We see its Fritz and him and a guy fight. They go to a boat with a bunch of the stuff and they get on it. The obvious Q agent tries to run off, but he screws up. Fritz freezes some stuff and they immediately surrender to him. A gunfight ensues and they almost capture Fritz. He explodes. WHAT? He opens the briefcase with the freezer and he explodes! They plan to destroy the hot ice, but it can’t be destroyed. Also their engine is about to explode. So evil shall win? More footage of lasers and missiles then Mighty Jack wins.
Opening skit is the bots freaking out that the Satellite is in ruins and Joel is dead! He actually isn’t. Pretty funny I’ll admit. Invention exchange is the Mads create Formal Flippers for those formal spying occasions. Joel demonstrates his Ear-Shaped Earmuffs, so you don’t have dorky balls of fuzz on either side of your head. I don’t wear earmuffs or go scuba diving. Dr. F has wonderful legs though. Also Frank remarks that he wants kids. Next skit is Mighty Jack themed dog food. The spokesperson is a crappy puppet made by Crow and is pretty creepy. Joel breaks the fourth wall by saying, “Lets see how the pros do it.” Middle segment is The Bots imprison Joel in the blinding light compartment from the movie. Joel foils their plans by closing his eyes. They constantly remark that Joel is too smart. It’s pretty funny to see the bots in this one especially Crow going off his script on being a cat. Next skit is Joel showing the Bots how cheap underwater filming is done by way of an aquarium. More importantly Crow got offers for Earth vs Soup! In the final sketch the SOL crew sings the old plot chanty “Slow the Plot Down” and gets Mighty Jack confused with other famous films. I’ll admit I didn’t like this episode at all. It just wasn’t funny. As for the movie I don’t like spy movies aside from James Bond and I only like Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, and some of Roger Moore’s movies. The effects sucked and they compressed the first episode and an episode in the middle of a season. Really some people might like it more I didn’t like it at all.
Episode Rating – 1/10
