Good to see RT reached their goal so quickly. As for an additional goal, how about celebrating the 50th anniversary of “Star Trek” by getting the rights to “Spock’s Brain”?
oh what a lucky man he was… RIP, KE.
ELP were also quoted in Cinematic Titanic’s brilliant The Alien Factor.
To be fair, Lucky Man was a song Greg Lake wrote before ELP even existed.
that Wizardz movie is bat-crap crazy
I could not follow any coherent plot. It was kind of like the mish-mash of TV episodes like in Fugitive Alien. The Chewbacca rip-off character was pretty laughable, too. Yikes.
The Troxartis actor guy was in it.
I was begging them to do this movie every chance I got for the last two years, though I stopped once the new version of MST3K officially became a thing, since I think it would have been even better if they’d done it.
The story behind this movie is nearly as weird as the actual movie. Roughly 50% of it was compiled from footage from the first Deathstalker movie, and reportedly, the production team butchered the script so badly that the writer of Troll and Dollman demanded his name be taken off of it.
What’s even more insane is that they made a sequel a few years later, Wizards of the Lost Kingdom II: David Carradine Will Star In Anything, which appears to be mostly compiled of stock footage from Wizards of the Lost Kingdom I. Here’s the trailer. Let me know if you see anything familiar:

Oh, and I just learned that even the score was a rehash stolen from Roger Corman’s Battle Beyond the Stars
It’s James Horner. Every score he’s ever done is essentially the same (see Wrath of Khan, Aliens, etc).
Title unavailable…
Wah – wah – Waaaaaaaaaaaaah….
Anybody know what happened to Wizards of the Lost Kingdom? I was planning on picking that up.
it’s just… gone
It looks like Rifftrax deleted their social media posts about it too. Maybe there was a rights issue?
Thom Thrithtopher!
Whoa. I’m glad I bought this one immediately. Is this the first time they’ve had a rights issue? Maybe it has to do with the repurposed footage/music. Wonder if I should download it in case it goes away and they have to issue refunds.
They had issues with the Fan-made Star Trek episodes. The Crater Lake Monster was also down for a while a few years ago (and the DVD has since been out of print).
Roger Corman, (who executive produced this one) got every last cent out of the BBTS score and FX footage. I lost count how many low budget movies I’ve heard it used in!
You mean ever did. :(
Wizards Of The Lost Kingdom, now the Lost Rifftrax. Easily not noticed by the fanbase, I mean, it was only available for a few days. But let’s never forget it’s existence! Why, it’s Rifftrax’s Godzilla!
It was one I was always hoping they’d do! It would show up on the Sci-Fi Channel at weird times back in the late 90s (enough that I assumed it would have to be eventually be used on MST3K). Every time it appeared I was just captivated by its badness. Now it’s Wizards of the Lost Rifftrax. Never forget.
