TROLL 2? TROLL 2????? (Thoughts)

"You hurt my wife!"

(Troll 2 riff quote)

Magic stone rant. Not bad!

[Bob]

Hey now, some clowns



are worse than others

[Janitor]

Oooh. Oooh. I hurt here. And here. I hurt. I...uhh...oooh. Wow. Just wow. There's no way I could have watched that movie w/o the riff. And yet. It wasn't as bad as BE. Huh. I'm going to watch the episodes of Poker Night again. That'll help.

That was a great one.

My new favorite in fact, there is nothing like an horrible movie like this for some great riffing. And they are right, time has not been kind to the ewoks.

Not a bad Riff. Lowtax had some good lines although his delivery on some was a little stilted. Lots of great screen cap potential for my cover.

Oh, wow, this is one of the best ones I've seen in a while. I never really liked the idea of doing Troll 2 before, but in retrospect, it was perfect rifftrax fodder: competently enough shot to follow what was going on, but absolutely, hilariously, ridiculously awful performances, script, and makeup.

I thought Lowtax fit in perfectly well; he didn't seem to have as distinct a voice as Kevin or Bill, but if I had been coming into this blind I wouldn't have thought he was stunt casting, either. I'd be very curious to know how involved he was with the writing process.

Lowtax wrote the intro, and a segment starting around 45 minutes in.

Mike wrote the part in between and around it.

I wrote one of the pauses, Conor and Uncle Rufus helped out with punctuation.

Mike wrote something for the second half.

Lowtax knocked Mike unconscious and continued the process.

Disembaudio came into the room, spilling coffee on the entire thing, ruining it.

Mike woke up and Lowtax told him what happened. They banded together and formed a two-man special forces team, infiltrating the Mainframe Hive where Disembaudio recharges. They inserted a program into his neural net, that when he came out of Sleep Mode the next day, would force him to continuously make coffee and rewrite the entire script from scratch.

When it was finished, Lowtax put his name on it. Mike crossed it off and put his, and then it was done.

He was QUITE involved.

damn it even I cant figure out where the sarcasm begins or ends there

It came out of the writing room.....it doesn't matter....

that phrase only applied to mst3k when they have been there a bunch.  I guess i was more interested to know that he was in fact part of it at all.

Without a doubt my favorite Rifftrax so far. I've seen Roadhouse, Star Trek V, X-Men, The Matrix, Episode I, Nestor, Daredevil, and this and hands down, this wins.

It may have been the excitment that built up after months and months of requesting and hoping they actually did this movie and finally hearing them do it, but I think it was more that it actually WAS really good.  Rich did a fantastic job, anyone who says otherwise is simply bias towards the MST crew.  Did I wonder what it would have been like if Kevin and/or Bill joined Mike, yeah, but I also didn't think it could be that much better than it turned out.

To be totally honest, I think I prefer Mike and Rich to Mike and Kevin.  Obviously the best scenerio is having Mike, Kev, and Bill, but if it's just gonna be 2 I think I'd want it to be Mike and Bill or Mike and Rich... nothing against Kevin.  I may be alone on that one.

Well, some bits like the jokes about the song mom "liked so much" and the joke about the magic Stonehenge stone sounded similar to what Lowtax wrote in his review.  I think the "Uwe Boll presents Uwe Boll's Donkey Kong" bit was his too.

There were definitely a few jokes that seemed tonally to be Lowtax jokes, and I'm sure he was involved in some way with the writing process, but honestly the rifftrax process in general seems a deep mystery to me. Perhaps every iteration is actually just Mike, doing voices and growing increasingly schizophrenic.
