How You Rank It?

[Sugar Ray Dodge]

I gives it a solid B. It's pretty difficult to make something this bland and painfully underfunded, underacted and undereverythinged funny, but the guys put in a great effort with the material they were given (or the material they picked, I have no idea how it works.) At first I found it plodding, but then Kevin's song lifted my spirits and I had a lot of fun with it the rest of the time. So I get why some people might not like this one, but I can't say I didn't have fun.

B, humorous but lacking in spark.  I'm pretty sure the Lemon guy was a Wings Hauser prototype.

For the first few seconds I thought Firehead was Wings Hauser.

[TriffRax]

It would've been a better film if it'd been Wings Hauser.

It would've been a better film if it'd been Wings Hauser.

This is the first time those words have ever been arranged in that particular configuration in any medium; physical or temporal. Congrats.

Well it's true. We would've gotten a lot of croissant jokes and throaty whisperings of "Mike!"

So you're saying it would've been a better riff if it was Wings, not necessarily a better film.  I tend to agree.

Cole Hauser could have played the annoying loudmouthed kid.

[Trekker4747]

If the kid was in the movie more this Riff would have been much better, the guys and their treatment of the kid was great.

And, really, I see the actual "Fire Head" guy as more this movie's Bo Hopkins to the other guy's Wings Hauser.

I am going to come right out and say that I honestly think that Wings Hauser would have been a more convincing lead than Chris Lemmon, RiffTrax or no. If nothing else, ol' Wings would have been sufficiently smarmy for the part. Chris Lemmon couldn't even manage that.

Yeah, but then you'd have to squeeze Bo Hopkins in somewhere.

I thought the first 30 minutes or so were great. After that it petered out quickly. The movie just didn't give them enough unlike Future Force which just got goofier and goofier. I may also be burned out on the genre--they've done a lot of action films from this era lately. One reason Dr. Who was such a breath of minty fresh air.

Still, some solid riffing, it's an 8 for me. I've never liked the five star scale so I'm going to stay out of the voting here.
