They shot down my original poster concept.   :-\



Should have given the pony a chainsaw.  Chainsaws make everything better.

I'm not really getting the difference between RiffTrax and RiffTrax Presents either, but I'm no better at "branding" than I am at math. My eyes glaze over every time the bosses at the office start going on about it.
That one's easy.  Rifftrax releases have Mike.  Rifftrax Presents releases don't.  So far, anyway.

That's because Mike's middle name is actually "Rifftrax" - Michael J Nelson.  They shortened "Rifftrax" to just "J."

(jaw drops)  This looks like it should make a very interesting RiffTrax.

And I totally want a chainsaw that says "Don't Worry, Be Happy" on the chain-y-sawing bit.

LOL.  Can you please send me a bigger version of that?

I don't like this movie, but Rifftrax Presents seems like a really good way to expand their catalog beyond "Popular and on the shelf" without giving up their higher-margin releases.  Well done, guys.

And you guys want more content. So here you go. More content!

Gimme a  riffed cheesy B movie anyday. I hope more tracks like Missile To The Moon are released. Making fun of people's stupidity is great; making fun of people being tortured not so much.

How about you wait to actually here the riff before you decide whether it's good or not.  Disclaimer- No actual actors were harmed during the making of this film.

Yes please!  More please!

I'm happy to see a Rifftrax that is for Adults Only!  An R rated Rifftrax for an R rated film!  Hopefully more Adults Only titles will be coming soon!

Titles like Billy Jack!  Showgirls!  Rambo!  Scarface!  This starts a whole new era for Rifftrax!

But what's the difference?  They're movies.  Fiction.  One has people pretending to be stupid, one has people pretending to be tortured.  It's not like they're riffing a snuff film.  (though if that's what Rifftrax Presents is really heading towards...  hmmm...)

Oh, I agree with you fully.  But the whole concept of Rifftrax Presents so far seems to be centered around releasing things they know won't appeal to everyone.  Like I said, I don't like Saw, but I'm glad they've made a place where I might get to see a riff of something that appeals only to me and a few people like me.
I thought I was Dale.

So they did use the theatrical version?

Checking on that now...hold on please.

The real first version had them blood splattered with the Saw guy tied up... too gruesome.  :speechless:

That'd be an interesting riff.  Find a film where somebody supposedly died on-camera (like, say, Snuff), go through the movie as one normally would, and during the credits, they can be all, "HAHA, WE'VE GOT YOU NOW!" and the rest of the RiffTrax is made up of the sound effects of them calling the police on them and the police going in and arresting the crew for first degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, accessory to murder, and a few counts of jaywalking, just to really kick them while they're down.

Hi Raven. I'm not judging the riff, I'm just expressing my disinterest int the decision to riff this style of movie. To each his or her own; just excercising my First Amendment rights.  ;D
