This is like one of those old Star Trek episodes where they found a bunch of leftover costumes from another production and wrote the script around that.
I hear they set the filming schedule around it, all scenes involving flaming barrels were shot sequentially and then moved around in editing later...They probably only had 1 day of burning permits.
Love how all the comments on rifftrax/MST3K uploads are consistently positive and humorous. There is little if any negativity or petty nonsense. Rare these days in any comments section. Cheers ☺
Only time negative comments come is if there are controversial themes in the movie (feminism, racial problems, etc). Fortunately most movies are devoid of that and/or are so so bad that you are a weirdo if you care more about some dumb feminist moment vs laughing at the riffs
The blonde guy with the 'stache is Darby Hinton. He is private detective Cody Abilene in "Malibu Express," directed by the great Andy Sidaris. He did a love scene with Sybil Danning. Show some respect.
They're probably so "advanced" that they cut it themselves, like Kevin joked about. Doesn't mean they're any good at it, but it's the thought that counts.
To "mix" time frames, genres like Walter Hill's Streets of Fire, Tim Burton's Batman, FX's Archer was + but you have to have talent, skill to pull it off.
I'm confused by the film plot. Robots 🤖 or AI took out ALL humans? Or did the want a Borg, Cylon race type cyborg/mutant? Why are the human looking cyborgs so clunky, easy to kill? How or where are healthy normal adult humans raised? In this "bleak future"?
"There is no world." That might be one of the dumbest lines of dialogue I've ever heard. Edit: Sidenote, I absolutely love the decision to have a baby crying throughout almost the entire movie. Really helps to build atmosphere and doesn't get annoying after five minutes in the least.
Can someone who's seen the full movie explain wtf is going on? Like why are robots using prostitutes? What's the Black Death they mention? Who are the old guys in robes? Why does the lead actually look confused when he shoots that robot the first time? Why are all the robots wearing orange snow suits?
I'm guessing the old guys are the council of scientists who decided to save the human race (dying of an unspecified plague) by turning them into cyborgs (the "robots" who evidently still have functioning human genitals).
One of the many ways this movie could be better is to have the "robots" dress in suits as the upper class of the city, and humans wear the orange jumpsuits, a sign of their imprisonment to the robots. Unfortunately, that level of symbolic detail is above the pay grade of this movie.
1:42 - ernie els and john travolta 2:36 - andy samberg and meryl streep 3:31 - dave foley (from kids in the hall) 4:15 - 23 cabins, 23 vacancies 5:30 - chuck norris an jamie lee curtis 5:32 - the butler that beat einstein to his own equations 6:20 - tony shalhoub wearing cutout star trek uniform 6:35 - david hilbert wants to suck your blood
Most uncomfortable movie, not because they dragged a premature baby around naked through most of it, but the 30 minute walking up an escalator action sequence.
Not a single person in this entire "film" has any acting ability. How did the casting director (aka the hobo outside the director's studio apartment) pull that off?
I had to look it up--Greydon Clark has directed 20 movies. Who kept giving him money?!? Not only that, but with so much experience, you might think he'd have gotten better over time, right? The most recent of those movies was fucking *Star Games.*
3:15-3:21 literally sounded like a jazz band falling down the stairs. Ehh, maybe we're too old. Our generation doesn't get this newfangled future music.
Does this movie look interesting to anyone else? I mean, *stupid*, don't get me wrong, but the kind of movie you need to see in full just to figure out what the hell's going on with the worldbuilding.
@@elafimilo8199 ...Is it, though? Because there are a LOT of questions left unanswered, such as: - Why do the cyborgs have detached, easy-to-steal guns when they could just shoot lasers from their eyes or something? - Why is there a need for different cyborg models (Neros, Hagans, etc)? Other than looks, how are they in any way different? Are they clones of the same handful of guys? Why not just clone one guy five hundred times and be done with it? I guess masks, armor and such weren't exactly in the budget, but y'all have tons of boxes and barrels lying around. Get creative, Greydon! - Why do the cyborgs have human genitals? It's not like they need to reproduce; each model is cut from the same cloth. Also, think of how much more they'd get done if they weren't boinking human prostitutes. And, oh yeah, that kick to the nuts thing wouldn't be an issue. Just fashion a funnel for the pee to go through. (Wait, what do they even eat? How do they poop? Oh lord.) - Why are there different cultures and time periods in this...I guess it's a theme park? Is this the humans' attempt at preserving their history? And if the Patrons hate them so much, why would they allow that? Gives 'em too much hope. - The main character said the one cyborg was once his best friend. Does that mean his best friend was a clone before they added the cyborg parts to him? Was he the original dude the cyborgs were cloned from? If so, how does he look so young? Bartender-'stache mentions stuff that went down between them 40 years ago, so-? - Back to the appearance thing, how in the world was it decided who the cyborgs would be modeled from? Were the original "Nero" and "Hagan" the brilliant minds that created them in the first place (and perhaps the same "brilliant" minds that programmed them to hate humans for some reason)? - Why is this kid the first baby born since the Black Death? Did exposure to the disease leave humans unable to reproduce, or did the Patrons just enforce strict chastity laws against them? - If their guns are so easily stolen, why the hell aren't the cyborgs laser-proof??? Kind of a huge design flaw. - If the Patrons don't want humans to reproduce, I guess they want to kill the baby so the rest of humanity eventually dies out, but what'd they have left to rule over? A barren landscape, a junkyard of boxes and flaming trash barrels, and a robot army whose one purpose was to keep humans in line? The hell are those bots supposed to do now? Become domestic servants or get scrapped for parts, I guess. - BUT WAIT, if the Patrons feed the humans to keep them alive, apparently they realize they'd have nothing to rule over without them, so they *don't* want to kill the baby. What's her significance to them, then? What do they want her for? -And why do the Patrons hate humans so much? Are they actually aliens? But why take human form, then? God, my brain. You can't see it, but I'm ranting in front of a yarn web on my wall right now. I'm putting way more thought into this than the writers did. Maybe I should just let a stupid movie be a stupid movie.
