It takes place after the movie was made, doesn't necessarily have to be WAY into the future. Could be 2000 or something.

[mrbasehart]

I don't think we would've gotten the confident YES about being based on a book for Lost in Space.

Technically, the movie is based on the TV series, which is an adaptation of the book.  It seems too much of a stretch.

[J-Proof]

I would attempt to narrow down which movies in that list from Jacky-Ross fit the situation etc....

[MontyServo]

OK, I did a power search on imdb with the search terms SCI-FI, 1990's, PG-13, USA ORIGIN:

The problem with this list is that none of the movies fit the clues and stand out as something that would be a really great Rifftrax, as they have been hyping.

"Langoliers, The"

I love that movie. (no guess)

We don't have a confident ANYTHING for Lost in Space, other than it's sci-fi and stars a previous Rifftrax star. I wouldn't call the movie "Set" on earth, since most of the movie happens, as the title says, in space. :^)

[Red Tape]

Hmm. A wild guess here maybe (not an official guess). What about Mars Attacks? It was PG-13, made in the 90s, did poorly at the box office, and there was a book. It starred nearly everyone in hollywood.

I think that means it's on THAT LIST.

Well then, get cracking, birthday boy!

#31 looks interesting...  Does it fit the clues?

Really???  Not one? Man... I'm seeing a few there that I might even bring to Mike's attention!

[Pak-Man]

Human antagonist.

The good ones on that list don't fit the clues.
