Warrior of the Lost World was the first episode of the fifth season of Mystery Science Theater 3000. A recurring joke is that the crew can't remember the lead actor Robert Ginty's name, referring to him as "the Paper Chase guy". The crew also find the voice of the speedcycle's display screen so irritating that they cheer when it is destroyed by Megaweapon, referring to Megaweapon onwards as "the only good thing in this movie" and even giving Megaweapon a phone call after watching the movie.
The MST3K version of the film was released on DVD by Shout! Factory in December 2009 as part of the Volume 16 box set. The DVD includes an interview with director David Worth, who discussed the making of the film (his directorial debut). Worth previously appeared at the first ConventioCon ExpoFest-A-Rama in 1994, and describes himself as a fan of the show.

—D.H. (David Herbert)
“If you have science and art,
You also have religion;
But if you don’t have them,
You better have religion.”
