The Return of Chandu part 1, by FireRiffs - The first part in the Return of Chandu seriel riff series. I am so glad we are getting more iRiff groups working together on projects like this.
The riff was...okay... not great. I know FireRiffs can do better than this, as his The Incredible Hulk riff is top notch, highly recommended. His vocal performance here is fine, but could have used a little more enthusiasm, as well as variety in voices. This being a single riffer track, though, I am willing to give it more slack. There are good laugh out loud jokes here and there.
I would still recommend it, particularly to see the entire riff series from beginning to end.
I think this is less impressive partly because NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS in this installment! It's really all setup, introduction to characters and such. At the very end there's something about a guy playing with his blowgun out in the bushes and it accidentally goes off, and a John Leguizamo standee gets shot. Otherwise, it's just a clearly evil looking guy standing around looking all clearly evil at a fancy dinner party, being thwarted by another clearly evil looking guy. Because the second clearly evil looking guy is Bela Legosi, who we are expected (at least for now) to believe is the good guy. Yet he has the One Ring of power, and can turn invisible! So he's either a HUGE Hobbit, or he's evil. Or possibly a trucker/secret agent. But probably evil. Because he's Bela Legosi!
"You don't believe in magic, do you?"-Only in a young girl's heart.
LOVED the reprisal of the 'How To Not Look Suspicious' gag from The Incredible Hulk riff.
Her name sounds like an experimental variation on the wedgie.
Oh, there's going to be Hobbits!
