R.O.T.O.R. could be described as The Room meets Cyborg Cop 2, and if that makes any sense to you at all then you know how excited we are about it!

It's an embarrassment of riches, where to begin? Our hero Captain J.B. Coldyron, police robotics genius and ranch owner, whose dialogue was all dubbed by a different actor and written by a different species? The goofy office robot who somehow possesses more sophisticated intelligence than the dangerous "advanced" prototype on the loose, aka R.O.T.O.R.? Or what the acronym R.O.T.O.R. itself stands for: Robotic Officer of the Tactical Operations Research. Yes, the last word in the killer police robot's name is Research, for some reason. Except later in the movie, when it suddenly stands for Reserve instead. Why? If you want an explanation, you'd better ask Shoeboogie, the wacky Native American janitor who loves to dance. Actually, don't ask Shoeboogie anything, it's probably best to avoid all eye contact with Shoeboogie.

Coldyron! Research! Shoeboogie! If you say those words real fast they kind of sound like a song, but they're also three of the many reasons you should join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for the wonder of wonders that is R.O.T.O.R.!

Personal Note: This is a movie that the guys have been saying is one of their favorites in a while and, having watched it in full...as I do with all of them, it comes through in the riff.
Any issues with the RiffTrax main page should be directed to support@rifftrax.com Attempts to engage with me directly about such matters will result in ridicule.

I'm positive I remember this cover art from video shops when I was a kid.

- how I read any complaint about MST3k (or Star Wars or Ghostbusters)

So, wait, I don't understand.  What happened between defeating ROTOR at the end of the "flashback" and what happened on the edge of the road where our "hero" dropped the woman's body?

At 10 minutes in, I have that exact same alarm clock. Not sure how he got it to crow like a rooster though.

And it apparently took the alarm clock quite a bit of time to decide to go off once the time changed.

Yes indeed, I created several versions of the poster and the one they chose was the homage to that bad ass original. Cheers!

Here are the other two versions

That seems appropriate, since very few scenes in R.O.T.O.R. seem to relate to any other scenes.

Sideswipe

Yeah, but that one image is cooler than anything in the movie.
