I'm gonna have nightmares, I went into this quite baked. But I was laughing so hard at one point I couldn't breathe for a concerning amount of time, so it cancels out.

I don't dance unless I'm totally wasted.
Sometimes I have to rewind the movie because I want to actually hear the dumb line that the Riff just spoke over. But the lyrics of the songs are so banal, but the songs themselves are pleasant enough, that it's like the movie is providing background music for the riffing.

New flick is the Christopher Lee fronted Blood of Fu Manchu. They actually liken it to that Sumaru movie MST3K did recently, which was nice to see.

Sumaru got riffed three times: once by orignal MST, once by Rifftrax and now there's neoMST too.
I personally prefer the Rifftrax version.

Watching the riff of Split Second and think it is very goofy how Rutger Hauer's character starts the movie dressed like the main character of the Shadowrun game for the SNES.

How is cats one of the hardest movies they have riffed for me to sit through? 20 min in and I'd rather be watching things or roller gator again.

The riffs aren't bad, it's just the movie itself.

Split Second has a lot of money (or at least clever masking of money problems) to have a script this astoundingly stupid.

Cats is a musical where the best songs are done by the professional dancers because they had to stick to a beat.

It's just really boring. It's weird but not weird like Rollergator where I find Rollergator more interesting to watch. Maybe if we weren't in an era of CGI monstrosities and instead were in an era of whatever Rollergator was it would be more interesting to see whatever Cats is.

1990 Bronx Warriors has been showing up on the Twitch channel lately and it kinda owns? Escape 2000 from MST3K is the sequel to this one. This movie is more of a ripoff of The Warriors than Escape From NY but it's crisp and stylishly shot, like they actually used quality film stock and not that yellow stained flyspeck covered stuff you see in other low budget Italian films. It must've been restored recently.





Kinda weird that they put Nazi iconography on our hero's gang though. What's up with that Italy? :catstare:

Biker gangs wearing Nazi bullshit is a whole weird thing that comes, IIRC, from motorcycle culture having foundations in 1950s societal dropouts who were frequently WW2 vets themselves.

This is absolutely true. I also think somebody, talent aside, wanted Rollergator made. They had a dream about a girl and her adventures with a gator hand puppet, aided by a girl with a slingshot and trying to avoid the other Estevez brother. I'm not sure anybody wanted Cats to be made. It felt like a mandate.

Also associated with Punk for the longest time as a way to stick it to the Man, I understand why people used the iconography at the time but I'm glad it's no longer a thing.

Ask me about
Japanese elfgames!
While watching Blood of Fu Manchu I idly looked up the movie and then the character, and it turns out that:

quote:

According to his own account, Sax Rohmer decided to start the Dr. Fu Manchu series after his Ouija board spelled out C-H-I-N-A-M-A-N when he asked what would make his fortune.
Rohmer also created Sumuru as a femme fatale version of Fu Manchu, and like Fu Manchu she's been portrayed multiple times in film, but only by white actors.

I came across the Hawk the Slayer soundtrack on youtube today. I can't believe how actually great it is. It's very derivative of Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds concept album which I also like, so it scratches a very specific itch for me. Shame the movie is so dull. I love this corny orchestra with synths on top of a disco beat stuff.

San Franpsycho is a better movie than it's shoestring budget would have you prejudge.
It is fortunate to Rifftrax that for whatever reason it didn't get any serious investment because then it would be up to the level of a million forgettable made for TV thrillers.

Also has a very young Peter Krause in his first role.

Edit: A really weird thing is that Krause is just credited as "The Boyfriend" when they say his name a bunch of time in the movie (it's Steve.)
