A few months ago, I stated I could find 10 or 15 movies that were featured on my favorite TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000 and if done right, could be very successful. However, i only found 5, since most of the movies had lame sci-fi plots that wouldn't even make the SyFy channel. Here they are w/a brief synopsis:
Moon Zero Two: Earth's moon has been colonized and attracts to it humans looking to make a buck in this part of the final frontier, mostly through mining. A famous astronaut-turned space junk salvager and his partner are offered a job by a millionaire: help land a small nearby asteroid made up of sapphire onto the Moon's surface (this is against the law) in a specific location.
Meanwhile, the astronaut is approached by a woman who came to the Moon to find her brother, a miner prospecting in a distant area of the Moon (which later turns out to be the same place the millionaire wants to land the asteroid).
The Magic Sword: A young man, adopted by an old sorceress after the death of his royal parents, has a crush on a Princess. The Princess is captured by an evil wizard and says he'll kill her in 7 days. The young lad volunteers to go after the wizard using a magic sword, armor and horse, as well as 6 magical knights. He leaves with one of the king's knights and they must avoid several dangerous obstacles put in their path by the evil wizard.
Parts - The Clonus Horror: Young people are physically training at an isolated colony so they can qualify to "move to America". In reality, they are really clones of wealthy and powerful individuals and when they "qualify", they are cryogenically frozen and used for spare parts (organs).
One clone slowly begins learning the truth, and escapes the colony. He is found by a reporter, and they are under threat by the people behind the project (mostly because one of the clients of the cloning organization is a popular Presidential candidate).
Soultaker: 4 kids are in a car accident. A grim reaper attempts to take their souls, but initially fails because their souls were separated from their bodies in the crash. When only 2 kids are left, they must get to the hospital and return to their bodies before their families pull their life support or the grim reaper takes them.
Final Justice: An Italian mafia-type and his brother kill a sheriff near the US/Mexican border. A sheriff's deputy kills the brother and takes the other prisoner. He escorts his prisoner to Italy but the flight is stopped in Malta. The prisoner escapes and teams up with local criminal allies to kill the deputy, who is defying local law enforcement and hunting the crook.
So, go ahead and decide your opinions of my choices as well as giving a few of your own!
