He's been sort of a joke for awhile now. I think i mentioned earlier (or maybe it was in another thread) that he's part of the same pyramid scheme as Bill Bartalone. See:

I went into the re-show last night knowing nothing other than this imdb quick overview.

A martial arts rock band goes up against a band of motorcycle ninjas who have tightened their grip on Florida's narcotics trade.

This doesn't really help. I'm pretty happy I went in blind, it's pretty amazing.

I caught the encore last night too, it was fantastic. I couldn't figure out why they even bothered with the opening with ninjas crashing a coke deal, because that had absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the movie aside from a guy associated with the ninjas getting in petty squabbles with some lovely college band, then getting his and his friends' asses kicked over and over.

Also, Measuring Man belongs on some kind of watch list.

Wow. Kinda makes the movie make more (any?) sense in a way. Especially the "We can only end pahumbla through the wuhblabla" or whatever.

Miami Connection is one of those movies that's better to see riffed the first time. I saw it at B-Fest, which is the same idea. Parts of it are so ridiculous that you need other human beings with you to confirm the fact that yes, what you are seeing is happening and it is insane.

This is a solid list, and you don't want these things to get too bloated, but I can't help but suggest you consider adding The Last Slumber Party. It's Halloween if instead of going on a murder spree, Michael Myers broke out of the Asylum and immediately went on to pen a film script, which was The Last Slumber Party.

I love The Last Slumber Party. In fact, I had it at #2 on my Top Ten list that I wrote a while back. That is also part of the reason why I didn't add them on this list. I try not to over do it with particular titles.

Holy poo poo! I think they are riffing one of my most wanted movies: No Retreat, No Surrender!
(Back in March, I posted an article about three movies I though were perfect for RiffTrax, and this was one of them.)

Last Wednesday, Kevin said that they were working on another goofy martial arts film. My hopes were raised! There is a chance they might actually do this movie!

Then just a few minutes ago, I saw this tweet from Jason, the guy who paints the posters for the RiffTrax releases.



That is JCVD from No Retreat, No Surrender!

NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER!

http://www.rifftrax.com/no-retreat-no-surrender

quote:

An organized crime syndicate is attempting to muscle out all the karate dojos in the country with the aid of deadly Russian black belt, and it’s up to the new kid in town and his breakdancing sidekick to defeat them, if the local bully doesn’t stop him first!

Here is a test: at which point in the above sentence did you realize the film was a product of the 80s?

A. After “Karate Dojos”
B. After “Deadly Russian”
C. After “Breakdancing sidekick”
D. I actually thought it was a Sofia Coppola film from the late 2000s

If you answered A, B, or C, then congratulations! Your senses have been honed to detect the fine subtleties of 80s cheese and you are going to enjoy the hell out of No Retreat, No Surrender. “Borrowing” the jingoism of Rocky IV and pretty much everything else from The Karate Kid, it adds the baffling twist of having our hero learn karate from the ghost of Bruce Lee. It is the second most unrealistic thing in the movie after having Jean Claude Van Damme portray a Russian.

Co-starring other 80s staples such as the fat guy who is always eating (otherwise viewers might not have noticed that he is fat) and training montages that out-parody every training montage parody you’ve ever seen, No Retreat, No Surrenderwill get you so pumped up you’ll be tempted to forgive Van Damme for Street Fighter. All that’s missing is a ponytailed, toxic waste dumping millionaire to deem it: “Perfect…”

The guy in this movie is like an even whinier amalgam of New Hope Luke Skywalker and the "I got it from you, dad! I got it from watching you!" kid.

I was so pumped to find out that there were sequels, only to be deflated upon reading that they are in no way linked to the original outside of the title. :(

The Smooth Criminal joke got the hardest laugh out of me.

If they ever decide to to some more TV shows I'd like to recommend Boris Karloff's Thriller. It's a 1960s horror anthology program. I've only seen a couple of episodes but both of them failed to follow the Chekov's Gun principle.

There were certain things I was expecting from a lovely 80's movie starring JCVD.
What I was not expecting was for JCVD to barely actually feature in the movie, and for there to be an entire act dedicated to the main character having a psychotic break and fantasizing being trained by the first guy off the street that could do an impression of stilted poses from Bruce Lee movies. That was a real treat.

Dracula didn't exactly save the world in this.

It's a must-watch riff, even with Halloween over. It's the same flavor as the Star Wars Holiday Special, only shorter and without the Star Wars.

The bit where the zombie guy shows up is one of the hardest laughs I've had at Rifftrax in a while, mainly because the instant he walked on screen, I immediately hoped they'd make a Brain Guy reference and they delivered.
