What did we learn?

[MerryWanna]

I learned...that the bar for Worst Movie ever Made has dropped a mile or two with Rollergator. Manos is a masterpiece of cinema compared to this. And the riffing did its best, but couldn't really save it.

I learned I really can want to shoot a guitar player. Jeez Louise!

[Mark A. Siefert]

I learned that skeevy carnaval owners have access to cheesy sterotypes of martial artists.

[Shmeckie]

I think, above all else, we learned how not to score a movie. I'm actually legitimately fascinated in what the logic was behind that. I mean, I know Donald G. Jackson makes some titanically incompetent films, but this is something else. Pretty sure not even Hell Comes to Frogtown was this bad. And did they tell the guitar guy to just keep going for as long as he could? Did he start to question things after 6 straight minutes of noodling?

Also I learned someone on the RiffTrax writing staff has such a bizarre grudge against GamerGate they'll shoehorn in a jab at GG even when the joke makes zero sense.

[Pak-Man]

Gamer-gator. It was a good pun.

[Shmeckie]

The joke didn't mean anything, though. I rewound it about 3 times trying to figure out was the joke was beyond "someone on RiffTrax has a bomb strapped to them that will go off if they don't mention GamerGate".

[TriffRax]

I learned this Rifftrax is far easier to stomach the second time around since the sheer Platonic badness of the film isn't as much of sucker punch when you're expecting it.

[ScottotD]

Well ...I think that ...I mean, it's ...um, the thing is ...this movie is kind of, well ...this was all a dream wasn't it?

[Miku Fan]

I finally finished it!  I learned...Keep rolling! No matter what, keep rolling! Always keep rolling!

[Polonium]

I learned that Joe Estevez's filmography isn't about acquiring fame or fortune, but an extended cry for help. Truly a greater masochist cannot exist in all of cinema.

[Pak-Man]

His filmography makes Nick Cage's career choices look well-thought-out.

[Trekker4747]

Between this and "Soultaker" I wonder if part of his career wasn't just helping out anyone who was making a movie and offered him a chance.

In "Soultaker" there's a line where Crow "introduces" Joe Estevez and as "Martin Sheen's more talented and underapreciated brother," which I always sort of liked. Because for all of the crap he stars in, you've got to give the guy some credit for having some measure of talent and humility to him.  It's not much of a competition but he is a highlight in this movie and, for better or worse, he does present an entertaining performance.  Felt like the guys were a touch hard on him in this.

I need to give it another watch to see how it holds up on repeat viewings.

Patrice Oneal's words ring true (and NSFW).

[Darth Geek]

I learned that I can make this face for about 83 minutes straight:
