New VOD "Night of the Lepus" Now Available!!!

[Alex From Watchalong]

We Riffed "Lepus" five years ago... Mike and Co. did a great job with the movie,
but I still think we nailed it.

I would also like to take this opportunity to apologize to anyone I might have
offended with my completely despicable tirade, specifically Darth Geek,
... I think I was having a little David O. Russel type freakout.
I am an asshole, and I am sorry.

Peace to all MISTIES.

Can someone tell me if there is any real rabbit death in this movie? I have been sorta nauseated by the animal murder in some of the other VODs and so would like to know before making the purchase...thanks (and yes I am a total puss)!!

At the beginning of the film, there's some news footage of rabbits being herded, prior to presumably being, er, de-rabbited. And at the end of the film, some rabbits are electrocuted. I don't think they were actually electrocuted, but it's the 70s and there's a chance that they saved some money. (I doubt it as it doesn't look too convincing.) And a rabbit or two appear to be set ablaze. Once again, pretty sure they didn't use real bunnies, but still can't be sure. And a bunch are "shot" throughout the film, but those aren't real.


Let me put it this way. Here's a riff in the film from Kevin:
"No rabbits were harmed in the making of this film. Okay, a few. Few dozen. Few hundred. Okay, probably thousands were harmed. More like tens of thousands. Just coming clean here. Come on. There's still a lot of damn rabbits left in the world. Calm down."


So, yeah. If you're sensitive to rabbits being killed either real or unreally, this might be an uncomfortable experience for you.

There are some real looking rabbit corpses early on, but I can't imagine these blue state hippies would actually use for-real rabbit corpses so I'm guessing they were just props.

I didn't see any real rabbit deaths.

just bought it, downloading now...

I'm quite curious about this one. I mean - I'm a fan of bad movie reviewer pages since before youtube and online videos were a thing and while I always was aware that there's a flic with Doctor McCoy and killerbunnies in it - noone seems to talk about it. And while I could have gone to imdb and check out the synopsis there that's usually not the way I roll. And thus I'm blissfully unaware about this one. Will it be horrible, or funny-bad or what. And what will be happening in it?

Since your youtube channel is gone is there somewhere else to obtain your full version or do I have to buy the mp3 ... I would like a VOD but will buy the mp3 if there a pre-synched version to make up for that .. same with Space Camp.

Just go to the rifftrax website and you should be able to buy a VOD no problem.
