DO YOU LIKE THE ROOM, BIRDEMIC AND SANTA & THE ICE CREAM BUNNY?
IF SO, BUY THIS NOW!!!

When you really stop and think about it, there are two kinds of movies: movies where rugged men punch mountain lions, and movies where this sadly does not happen.

Fortunately, Buffalo Rider is the inaugural member of this first group, and while it waits for another movie to join it, (we're looking squarely at you The Help 2), it is content to quietly kick some ass all by its lonesome.

Buffalo Rider tells the story of Jake "Buffalo" Jones, a legend of the Old West who tamed and rode a two-ton buffalo named Samson and, in the process, proved that there really must not have been much to do in the Old West. And while the sight of a man who resembles a Doobie Brothers roadie riding a gigantic buffalo is spectacular in itself, the producers decide to spice up the action a bit by keeping crates of vicious wild animals just off-screen and occasionally releasing them to attack Jake and the buffalo. Bears, wolves and cougars all show up to take on Jake, who appears to have been informed of these animals' presence seconds before they were released.

You may have seen the clips of the "Guy on a Buffalo" song. Please, let us reassure you that you have NOT experienced the entire Buffalo Rider universe until you've seen the whole movie. This is a film that devotes nearly 1/10th of its screen time to tell the tale of a very, very unfortunate raccoon named Bandit. It has its own majestic theme song that you will be singing for days afterwards.  Imagine if all you saw of Birdemic were the coat-hanger scenes.  You'd be forgiven for assuming that was all the movie had to offer, but then you'd miss out on solrpnls, hanging out with your family and the spruce bark beetles. Please do not miss out on Buffalo Rider. Although the cougar punching is still pretty damn sweet...

Special Thanks to Brigham Young University.

You know, that explains soooooooo much.

Given what the word "buffalo" was often tied to in the MST3K days.... "Buffalo Rider" brings to mind... unpleasant images and thoughts.

This must be a popular one. The download speeds are horrible, and I've had both the ISO and mpg files fail in mid-download. Hope I can get this for tomorrow night.

Of course it's popular! It's a guy on a buffaloooooooooooooooo!

Yeah my speeds slowed down drastically here in Mexico..
Should be finished by now (I hope)

SH*T! My ISO disc freezes up at 84% (about 1 hour 18 minutes in) and neither DVD shrink nor AnyDVD can extract it

No sense in re-downloading it here in Mexico (again cause of the slow internet speeds here, plus I'm limited on blank DVDs) so I'll have to wait till I get home in mid-January to re-download the ISO and re-burn the disc

I may try to download the MPEG-2 to watch it on my computer here but I need to do that at night when I have more time..

Go with one of the more compressed formats, the video quality is VHS-like so you're not missing anything by going with the mp4 or other smaller files.

When I found "Buffalo Rider" among the B's in "Feature length riffs," for $9.99, I couldn't tell what it was.  "V.O.D." was not anywhere near it, so I tried looking for the basic movie on Netflix.  I'm sure RiffTrax already knows how that went.  I much prefer waiting for your DVD releases, as I don't have DVD burning capability.  I've loved everything so far, and have bought a copy of every DVD you sell.  Thanks.

Oh man, just saw that a lot of the footage in the movie was provided by Brigham Young University, and I suddenly became very embarrassed.

[Sugar Ray Dodge]

Watching it again and thinking "why the hell is this not regarded as a riffing masterpiece on the same level as Manos or Birdemic?"

[KidFlash]

No clue. It's a highlight for sure.
