The movie Mystery Science Theater 3000: Side Hackers is a classic comedy film from 1990. It was directed by Joel Hodgson and Jim Mallon, and it starred Trace Beaulieu, Joel Hodgson, and Jim Mallon. The movie is an American TV series that combines comedy with science fiction. The series is set in space and a crew of witty characters watch and provide live commentary on terrible, B-movie sci-fi flicks.

The movie follows the story of Rommel (Ross Hagen), a motorcycle racer who is also a champion side-hack racer. His rival, J.C. (Michael Pataki), is also his best friend. However, when J.C. realizes that Rommel has been cheating in their races, he decides to end their friendship and seek revenge.

Side Hackers is a classic B-movie from the 1960s. It's an oddball blend of biker culture, campy melodrama, and high-speed antics. The film is full of clichés and tropes from the era, including women in bikinis, drag racing, and fistfights. The movie is a perfect example of how low-budget cinema can produce something truly ridiculous and so-bad-it's-good.

The concept of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) is to take these horrible movies and turn them into an experience that is both fun and entertaining. The show gained a cult following during the late 1980s and early 1990s for this reason. The movie Side Hackers, being so terrible, was the perfect choice for the MST3K team to riff on.

The main characters in the movie are Joel Hodgson and Trace Beaulieu. They play Joel Robinson, the human test subject, and Crow T. Robot, respectively. Along with their robot companions, Tom Servo and Gypsy, the crew is trapped on the Satellite of Love by evil scientists. The scientists force Joel and his robotic friends to watch terrible movies as a form of psychological torture.

Side Hackers is one of these terrible movies. As Joel and the robots watch the film, they provide hilarious commentary and jokes, mocking the absurdity of the story and its questionable acting. It's through their witty commentary that the movie becomes more enjoyable, as the MST3K crew turns the experience into a comedy show.

The jokes are rapid-fire, and the humor is clever and witty. The show is a perfect example of meta-humor and satire, as the characters break the fourth wall and make fun of the movie's flaws. The ridiculousness of the movie itself also provides a wealth of material for the MST3K team to make fun of.

The majority of the humor in the show comes from the running commentary of the characters. They point out bizarre details, make jokes about the terrible special effects, and make witty observations about the continuity errors. The jokes are not just limited to the movie itself. The show also pokes fun at popular culture, music, and science fiction tropes.

Side Hackers is just one of the many terrible movies that the MST3K team has made fun of. The series ran from 1988 to 1999, and its legacy lives on through numerous spin-off series and even a Netflix revival. The show is a cult classic and a favorite of many science fiction and comedy fans.

Overall, Mystery Science Theater 3000: Side Hackers is a hilarious and entertaining movie that showcases the humorous talents of the MST3K crew. The show is a perfect example of the power of comedic commentary and the enjoyment that can be gained from watching terrible movies. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a must-watch for anyone who loves science fiction and comedy.
