[edit] Battlestar Galactica non-riffs

Could someone add a reference to the claim that Mike and the 'Bots explained their omission of any Battlestar Galactica riffs as being too easy? Thanks. — Jeff Q (talk) 05:28, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Never saw an official explanation only their admission that they indeed made no jokes regarding the Galactica footage. They only say they are "Guilty as Charged" without explanation as to why. Mr. ATOZ 20:18, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Personally, I'd argue that the MST3K writers were simply not fans of Battlestar Galactica and just didn't recognize the footage. Contrary to popular view, the MST3K crew are not big sci-fi geeks, at least not with regard to flops like Battlestar Galactica.Raymondluxuryacht 05:59, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Nah, they make BG riffs elsewhere in the series, so one must assume that they deliberately avoided it. BUT I'm looking for citable references; our opinions are not encyclopedic. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:54, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Payments for rights to Battlestar footage

Does anyone have any idea how much they had to pay for the right to use the battlestar galactica special effects?

Not sure if they did... 68.39.174.238 04:35, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Abandoned factory

The article says that the engineering-section footage was "obviously" filmed in an abandoned factory. I have read somewhere, but cannot find now, that those sequences were actually filmed in the basement of a casino. Can anyone verify this? -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:06, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I've heard numerous different claims such as:
  • Factory (Making what is never said)
  • Power station
    • Power substation
  • Brewery (!)
  • Water pump / treatment station
    • Sewer station (Whatever that is)
  • Refinery

however noone's been able to cite an authoritative source. As such I'm going to change it to "industrial building" after I commit this edit. 68.39.174.238 00:22, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Budget: $599 USD?

Is that just PS3-related vandalism? I find it hard to believe that even this movie could be done for that much. 153.42.168.136 16:36, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
