Definitive Poll "Which Series Got 'Next'"

[Compound]

Megane Johnson is right!

Cliffhanger, Rambo, Rocky III & IV, Daylight, Demolition Man would all make great riffs.

[Yurple]

I cannot wait until they continue the LOTR and Harry Potter series. Those are the ones I'm looking forward to most.

[koleax]

Thanks for the warm welcome!

The only sequel Rifftrax I like are the Fantastic Four ones.  Too many recycled jokes when they do franchise movies.  They do them mostly to take you completeist-nerds money.

It's okay, they can take my money.

You guys really don't think they'll do any more X-Men?

I agree about Demolition Man.

[Darth Geek]

I'm actually surprised they haven't done Return of the King yet, considering how fast they burned through the last few Star Wars movies.

The POTC sequels could be even better riffs than the first one. Especially all the confusion about the deals and counter deals in the third.

[LucasM]

By the way... speaking of sequels... is the sequel to this thread going to be:

                  "Definitive Poll 'Which Series Got 'Back' "? 


[If so, my first vote would be Aeon Flux. ]

Megane Johnson is right!

Cliffhanger, Rambo, Rocky III & IV, Daylight, Demolition Man would all make great riffs.

...were I of a malevolent nature, the lack of Cobra in that list would be a bannable offense.

Yeah, yeah. I left out Oscar, Rhinestone, Stop or My Mom Will Shoot, Spy Kids 3, The Italian Stallion, FIST and Tango & Cash too. I had to stop somewhere.

[Turducken]

I'd go with Jurassic Park and Terminator... though Dawn of the Dead would be funny as hell i suspect.

*People prolly chose Return of the King so they get more rifftrax for the dollar... 3 hours of it!

I was actually quite pleased in the most recent Harry Potter that they seem to have dropped the 'Satan worshipping' so-called jokes.  Wizards in historical fantasy literature (e.g. Merlin) simply have no relationship to such evil fictions. 

Of course they do. According to several versions of the legend, Merlin was Satan's son, but was baptized shortly after his birth, and thus avoided becoming an anti-Christ.

If they were doing it to make fun of the fundamentalist right's accusations when the books were coming out, they missed the mark because the jokes never implied such a thing; they sounded like they were mirroring - rather than mocking - such ignorance.  [Wouldn't have been funny if they were mocking it either, I'm just saying....]

I'm pretty certain by now that they make jokes because they think the jokes are funny, not because they want to "stick it" to members of a particular religion.

[Turducken]

It doesn't have to make sense, if it's funny it works.   I personally love the Satan worshipping Potter jokes....

I think the chances of LOTR being done are nil.  I don't think they want to do another 3 hour movie,and I think the format of the site has changed and they are only doing shorts and huge blockbuster from the past two or three years.  i think they have pretty much given up on anything older then 3 years old and that made less then $300 at the box office.  My guess is sale for older non blockbuster films are were just so bad they were not making a profit.

You were saying? 

[Johnny Unusual]

So they just did about three epic (relatively speaking) length movies in a row, I think something a little more small and goofy (er, goofier) is in order.  Maybe some dumb action movie like On Deadly Ground (the killer environmentalist adventure) or the Octagon (I saw that a year ago, a hilariously bad movie).

As for series, my choices remain.  I think they should do Halloweens 2 and 3 (I know three is the obvious choice, but I think there is potential in two).  And frankly, I could see them doing some seasonal stuff:  I think they need to do the Rankin Bass specials around the holiday times and horror flicks on Halloween.

Hor-Riff-ic did a great job riffing Halloween 3.

[stansimpson]

Well, I'll never watch a horror RT.  I think a lot of other folks are in the same boat, so I'd just as soon they leave that to Presents.

I'll watch anything, as long as it's funny enough (and I have the $, of course).  For instance:  Live show of "The Grudge"?  I've never seen it, but I'd be there anyway.

Has anyone ever told you you talk more about the things you don't like than the things you do like?
