11/27 - 20 Questions to Guess the Next Movie

[Pak-Man]

All right. As a Rifftrax Board megaposter, I hereby endorse Dr. Moreau as our official answer. But that's not an official question. :^)

[MontyServo]

Obviously they weren't going to do MST3K, I was just pointing out that it also fits the clues.

I don't see how The Island Of Dr Moreau is supposed to be this great Rifftrax title.  

[WouTar]

Is it widely obtainable? I haven't seen that dvd on the shelves since 6 years ago.

[PlayMSTie]

Sounds funny enough to me. And I'll bet we get a few good Marlon Brando impressions from the riffer(s).  

[David]

So Moreau technically made more than it cost... barely. But I agree that it did dismal.

Mr. Pizza has always been very supportive of every Rifftrax title. :^)

[StellarJoe]

I'm late -- but could it be as obvious as 2010: The Year We Make Contact?

Made in 1984.

Oh ye of little faith... Road House was an amazing Rifftrack, The Island of Dr Moreau would be hilarious!

Yeah, because its not a generally well known movie, and so far Mike has riffed well known movies so far. I don't see why he would just riff a random movie never heard about in years.

[SmilinJackRoss]

Island of Dr Monroe:

In the future?  check.

Based on book?  check.

Stars someone from previous rifftrax?  check.

Bad Box office? check.

Set on earth?  check.

Sci-fi PG-13 1990's flick?  check check check.

I ENDORSE IT TOO.

[PsypherPunk]

"AN ISLAND WERE ANIMALS EVOLVED FROM MEN!?"

[WouTar]

I don't think it is "Dr"

[PlayMSTie]

Is it widely obtainable? I haven't seen that dvd on the shelves since 6 years ago.

Netflix has it, and they don't even have "Point Break." (I STILL haven't managed to get hold of that one.)

[mrbasehart]

Line by line justification for why each movie on the first list is eliminated, perhaps?

What knocked Congo off the earlier list btw?

Seems like a good candidate too...
