Ensign_Ricky posted:For those who haven't added it to their collection, Jurassic Park is reduced to $1.99 for a limited time. And why exactly haven't you seen that riff yet? Because it's easily top ten material. Going to grab that since I actually have the blu-rays for Jurassic Park so I can finally listen to this rifftrax.

I'm finally getting around to watching The Guy From Harlem. I'm about 10 minutes in and I have no idea what in the hell I'm watching  It's so very, very strange. Viva Knievel! and Cool As Ice make complete sense in comparison.

NEW VOD! "The Apple" http://www.rifftrax.com/#ooid=B1ZjJ4YTr0KtEkU28Eua_Nvt8a_BZBMn http://www.rifftrax.com/vod/apple quote:The year was 1980 and one trend was sweeping America! No, not that animated dancing cat from the Paula Abdul video. We admire you thinking outside the box, but jeez, you were off by like nine years. Reign it in a bit. We were talking about the nationwide fad of really crappy musicals! It looks insane...

You know how you watch these movies on MST3K/Rifftrax, and you have to wonder if the people who made them were actually familiar with the [i]concept/i] of a movie? I'm watching The Apple and now I'm wondering if these people had ever heard music before either. e: This guy needs to pick an accent and commit.

Probably Infected posted:The rapture was indescribably awesome though. I was in a packed theater for it's main first revival showings in LA at the a midnight movie night in 2003, and over 90% of us hadn't seen the film before. The response in the theater to that was incredible. Everyone just drat gobsmacked from the moment the gold cadillac descended from the sky on.

The Apple is just a MESS. Apparently it was low budget, but looks like a lot of money was spent on it, so that's... something, I guess.

I've shown "The Apple" to a lot of people at this point, and my view on the Rifftrax (which I just finished watching) is that its good, it just seems redundant for a movie that's this unintentionally hilarious on its own (kind of how some of you felt about "The Room"). And in case you were wondering, the hippie commune scenes were supposed to be much longer; they had an extra song and everything that was cut at the last minute. It's why Alife suddenly has a beard between cuts. I don't think it makes the rapture stuff any less jarring though.

Watching The Apple now. Gotta say, I've really been digging their choices for movies to riff lately for the VODs. They're all bizarre as hell, this one included.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is divisive but there are people who love it (like myself) and Rob Zombie's entire film career has been one long attempt to remake it. Lifeforce is full of naked space vampires. The Van Damme films? For pure cheese the American Ninja films? All Golan-Globus, all good.

Just watched this based on the trailer for this on Everything Is Terrible and really want to see the Rifftrax guys do this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJgAeGUD2FU perfect 80s cheese. It makes FutureForce look like a boardroom drama by comparison. StopMakingSense posted:How dare you besmirch the name of Menahem Golan! I love this anecdote that Nathan Rabin had when interviewing Margot Kidder about Golan: quote:And then he tried to cheat people, as Menahem will do. There was some lawsuit going on where he’d taken some American ship that he’d rented, shot it full of holes for a movie, returned it full of holes, and said it had been shot up in one of the many Palestinian-Israeli skirmishes. http://www.avclub.com/articles/golantastic-case-file-166-the-forbidden-dance,42849/ Sushi in Yiddish fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Apr 19, 2013 |

The Superman IV debacle was pretty crazy. Basically Golan-Globus got the rights to make a new Superman movie and got Reeve to come back by promising to let him produce a pet project. They used this combination to secure a fairly large budget, which they then proceeded to raid to fund other movies.

They certainly didn't spend any of it on writing. On the other hand, they managed to beat the one of the worst James Bond movies to the punch by making Rupert Murdoch the bad guy first. EDIT: Hell Superman IV is amazing in it's own way, especially how Warner Bros. dumped the whole film series when 3 didn't make double what it cost.

The highlight of Golan Globus was the final day of shooting Masters of the Universe. They had initially budgeted this huge climactic battle, but G-G went bankrupt the day before, so the final scene is He-Man fighting Skeletor, in a recycled old costume, in a dark room standing in front of a lighting color wheel.

I'd love to see them do Death Wish 3, 4 and 5. There is so much material in them, and I imagine the rights to 5 aren't too expensive. Charles Bronson gets older and older and his love interests get younger and younger.

I'm thinking that "BIM's on the way" was a placeholder line for when better lyrics were written, but no one ever got around to it, and so they went with what they had. What they had was, of course, "BIM's on the way." A lot.

New VOD! Kingdom of the Spiders, starring William Shatner quote:Captain Kirk. T.J. Hooker. Twilight Zone plane guy. Johnny Legal (presumably his name on Boston Legal, didn’t bother to check).The Dad Who Says Sh*t. All great characters, sure, but William Shatner will always be best known for one role, and one role alone: RACK. Rural veterinary doctor Robert “Rack” Hansen, of course, he of the inexplicable nickname, fondness for cowboy hats, and habit of hitting on his brother’s widow by saying he’d like to “milk her.” A lesser man would’ve stopped with Rack, his legacy complete. Such a great, internationally beloved part, it’s a testament to Shatner’s skill as an actor that he’s escaped its shadow, the Kingdom of the Spiders conventions and catchphrases and reboots, and become known for more than just Rack. RACK. Rack. No seriously, he has people call him Rack and he thinks he’s a sexy cowboy. Rack.
