What's weird for me with Guy From Harlem is that I don't feel the hilarity really gets going until Small-Boobed Jessica Simpson shows up. Up until that point, it's still funny don't get me wrong, but it's not any funnier than most VOD's. Then that happens, and the film becomes magical. I'd also comment about the character of Big Daddy, but, you know NOBODY EVER SEES HIM!

Rifftrax posted:Evel Knievel was a 70s icon most known for the “stunt” of flying across the country to beat his former promoter, an executive at 20th Century Fox, outside the studio commissary with an aluminum baseball bat, shattering the man’s arm while shouting “I’m going to kill you!” Okay, that’s not what he’s most known for, but it’s what he should be most known for. I mean, did you know that? We didn’t know that. But it just might come up once or twice in our new Rifftrax of Viva Knievel! Holy poo poo this sounds epic. And have I mentioned lately that I love the new poster designs?

Marjoe Gortner's name isn't inexplicable, it's a contraction of Mary and Joesph because his parents were evangelists who made him the youngest ordained minister and evangelist at the age of 4. He became famous because of the Academy Award winning documentary Marjoe which followed the end of his young adult ministrations which he did solely for money and after a crisis of conscience he decided to have a documentary crew follow him so he could expose all of the tricks. He then tried to do regular movies such as Earthquake and Food of the Gods.

My God, Viva Knievel! has the most '70s cast since The Towering Inferno (or for MSTies, SST: Death Flight). All that's missing is Doug McClure. Holy poo poo, Irwin Allen was a producer! This is gonna be amazing.

If you’ve seen him in The Naked Gun or Airplane! every line he says will sound like a joke to you, and trust us friends, that is a very good thing. Next sale or deal I'm buying this movie.

Viva Knievel is a loving WEIRD film. Especially how Leslie Nielsen's plan doesn't really make any sense and doesn't get explained very well ever.

Watching Viva Knievel! now. "No Mrs. It's Miss. M-S." "More like PMS!" I'm only a little over 10 minutes in and it's already pretty strange. Can't wait to see where this is gonna go. edit: "Dad? Dad? I'm Tommy, your son!" "Where the hell did you come from?!"  edit2: Why, oh why, is Evel Knievel sneaking through a mental hospital dressed as an orderly and picking locks?

It's the kind of movie where a guy riding a motorcycle full tilt through a mental hospital doesn't even register as strange because the bar for strange is so drat high.

Okay, super-spergy question here... I just got "Cool as Ice" and "Viva Kenivel" and will probably watch them back to back tonight. What's weird is that these were both major studio releases by Universal and Warner Bros. respectively. In "Cool as Ice", the Rifftrax file begins the film a few seconds late (in fact you can hear that they didn't correct the audio as it starts abruptly with the title sequence) and doesn't have the Universal logo, while in "Viva Kenivel", where the Warner Bros. logo would go is just a blank screen. If they got permission from the studios to release these movies, why aren't they allowed to use the logos? Also, is "Breaker Breaker" any good? EDIT: "Viva Kenieval"; Oh my God this opening scene is loving creepy. EDIT 2: Oh Jesus, Gene Kelly going all  in that mental hospital.

I don't know the answer but if I had to guess it's because MGM isn't an independent studio any more while Warner Brothers is still quasi-independent no matter who Time-Warner has merged with this week.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:edit: "David Lynch watched this movie and said 'What the hell?'" That joke works just as well for Cool As Ice, too. I mean you'd think a Vanilla Ice film would be pretty straightforward, but it's only slightly less weird than Super Mario Bros. I can only hope they decide to do Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em next.

Yeah I need to get the last two shorts. At least these safety videos are pretty fun to mock despite the terrible things happening in them. Seeing some of the ones they picked in MST3K that are just really depressing but without the corny charm they have here. Mostly the Union Pacific ones that are just have no real redeeming factors and just terrible shorts in general even with riffs.

The best part of the latest one is that I guess it's supposed to be a warning about drunk driving but the idiot kills himself in a low-speed accident that probably would've happened anyway if he had been sober (he crashes a lovely little compact into a telephone pole passing another car on an empty straight road).

I'll give you Days of our Years being unbearably dull, but Last Clear Chance is my favorite MST short of all time. It's got a whole Iowa worth of corn, and the riffs, aside from being great, have some of the best timing and delivery of anything they've ever done.

If you like cars with wobbly plastic props driving aimlessly as pyrotechnic mortars go off, your best choice is the Barry Bostwick classic MegaForce. But if you wanted a second choice, with the Rifftrax guys, you can't go wrong with WotW.

Those were the pilots, not the whole series by the way. I just hope they do more TV movies, someone mentioned Iriwn Allen so possibly the terrible 1976 "Flood!" starring their favorite Cameron Mitchell.

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.
