Project Eliminator is a David Carradine movie that features a flying robotic weapon, but somehow isn't part of the Future Force series? We're as confused as you are. And David's not the only Carradine involved in this one; the credits are jam-packed with Carradines. A Carradine feast for the senses!

It starts how most action movies about the fate of the world do: with a twelve-minute sequence of a drifter trying to shave in an abandoned building next to a gas station. A lot of people get hurt along the way, some even die, but he does eventually manage to shave. From there he gets picked up by his old pal David Carradine, a warm presence with fun catch phrases like "I'm a piece of s***!"

You don't want to miss the scene where David sits down at a restaurant piano and starts singing. Even more so, you don't want to miss the scene where David... well, we won't give it away, but... wow.

Oh, and there's also a whole plot about international terrorism and weapons or whatever. But let's be real, it's all about Carradine and his friendship with a buff, long-haired oddball.

Project Eliminator. What's being eliminated and whose project is it? Join Mike, Kevin and Bill as they try to figure it out!

Written by: Mike Nelson, Conor Lastowka, and Sean Thomason

Contributing writers: Jason Miller and Zach Shatzer

Is the video jerky for anyone else? As in, wrong frame rate or something? I've noticed this a bit on other releases, but this one seems particularly bad. I downloaded the 720p version.

[ihavemyreasons]

No. Not the only one. Video jerky to the point where I gave 10 minutes in. Planning to give a re-encode a try as that has helped fix some similar bad vids I've run into in the past, but haven't yet.

Also, high tv version not 720p, just SD. Framerate per media info OK.

[ihavemyreasons]

Quick re-encode in handbrake didn't fix. Will play with some more with it when I have time.
Movie available lots of places - including youtube - and a quick check of a couple of those versions shows they don't have the same jerky issues. Doesn't appear to be available anywhere in HD. And rifftrax cut about 10 minutes of movie, so won't be an easy re-sync to other available video.

I'm definitely seeing dropped frames. Has anyone reported this to Rifftrax tech support?
