the last part when those 2 people were fighting, they are not even hitting each other. talk about real cheap acting.
I posted scenes of this movie on facebook and in some of the MST3K groups on there in hopes that Rifftrax would do this one and was overjoyed when I saw that they did today..Thanks guys! This is a perfect movie for them to do…bad acting,silly dialogue,bad continuity…it’s all there.Hope they release it on DVD as well…I first got this at http://www.revok.com about 5 or 6 years ago because of how bad they said it was and glad I did.Ever since then,I wished Rifftrax would do it and now my dream has come true….or were they reading my mind?? Hmmm….Great riffing guys.
I know a lot of people have clamored for this for a while, and it’s right that they managed to get this. As I’m sure a number of you did, I heard about this gem from the Red Letter Media folks a while back. A Rifftrax VOD was inevitable.
The jokes are great, making sure to point out the gaps that an average viewer might not pick up on first viewing but make no sense nonetheless. Really though this is something you could watch with or without riffing and get a great experience nonetheless. I’d venture to say the guys could ditch all the jokes they just wrote for this (which, again, were perfectly fine) and replace them with entirely new material should they decide to do a live show for R.O.T.O.R.. That’s how deep of a well this movie is for comedic gold.
Side note: Part of this movie (the ending at the lake) was filmed pretty close to where I live. “Lake Dallas”, as they call it, is actually “Lewisville Lake” (I’m from Lewisville), though there is a city of Lake Dallas, whose Police Department got “special thanks” in the credits. A couple of other local agencies got special thanks, too. I’d be funny if someone on the squad remembers watching the final showdown getting filmed and wondering if they might have gotten duped into making some kind of weird “special interest” film.
If anyone’s on the fence about getting this, go watch the “Best of the Worst” episode at Red Letter Media featuring this movie and “Robot Jox” so you’ll get an idea of just how awesomely awful this movie is. Personally I almost never get the VODs right when they come out… but this was worth the exception.
*impatiently awaiting the inevitable Robot Jox VOD*
Kinda surprised they haven’t released a Riff for Trans4mers yet, not that I’m in any hurry to see it.
You know, the “comedy relief” robot in this film makes Twikie (Twiekie?) from BUCK ROGERS look dignified.
I may just get this one. The callback to the Bob Crane “Patriotism” short got me laughing a lot.
That R.O.T.O.R. cover art is “The Tron Guy Meets Mad Max.”
I am absolutely creeping myself out now.
To me this was one of the best Rifftrax ever. This movie was so bad/good and so many wtf moments my daughter and I watched it again to be sure this was ‘t part of fever dream.
Had to watch Viva Knievel to clear our heads (kinda). What a weekend. Thanks riffttrax.
I first saw R.O.T.O.R. last year. Wow. I was not prepared. It’s super cheap. I don’t think I would’ve even liked this movie when I was a kid. I got the RiffTrax downloaded, but I haven’t had to watch the movie.
FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN R.O.T.O.R.:
You must see R.O.T.O.R.
It is, quite simply, one of the most amazingly stupendous incompetent movies ever made. There is a scene, early in the movie, in which our hero is addressing his scientist colleagues on the progress of the development of R.O.T.O.R. – this scene is absolutely priceless. There is almost literally no two lines of dialog that sequence clearly and logically.
SEE THIS MOVIE. Rifftraxed or not.
If you have one of those Mill Creek DVD sets that have the 50 public domain movies, you probably already have R.O.T.O.R. Go check it out.
Ok. I’m intreagued by the comments mentioned above. Rifftrax should use them as reviews because I am sold.
I’ve only watched the sample, but I can say that I have never heard such stupid, nonsensical dialogue in all my life!
