The Hearse

Really bad acting in a 1970's movie, perfect for Rifftrax

The Fighting Lady, 1944
[Public Domain?] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt58grDVsnI
The plot of the film revolves around the life of seamen on board an anonymous aircraft carrier. Because of war time restrictions, the name of the aircraft carrier was disguised as “the Fighting Lady”, although she was later identified as USS Yorktown (CV-10). (“Fighting Lady” was the known moniker of the Yorktown, just as “Lady Lex” for Lexington, “The Big E” for Enterprise, etc…) A few shots of aircraft landing were filmed aboard the Yorktown’s sister ship USS Ticonderoga.

The House I Live In
[Public Domain] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovwHkb1wEfU
Frank Sinatra, apparently playing himself, takes a "smoke" break from a recording session. He sees more than 10 boys chasing a Jewish boy and intervenes, first with dialogue; then with a little speech. His main points are that we are "all" Americans and that just one American's blood is as good as another, all our religions are equally to be respected.

Sooper Goop
Yeah, this one is a short I've seen when I was in elementary school called Sooper Goop.
This one discusses about the downside of 'kids' cereal' and how they pull out schemes to make kids want something they don't need.

American Remake Sailor Moon Pilot (1994)
This 10 minute failed pilot for an American remake of Sailor Moon, combines live action with animation with results that are both equally extremely cheesy and extremely cringeworthy. Thought to be lost to time has just recently resurfaced. If you can work out the rights, I think this could be a hilarious riff.

Short films that I directed that I offer to Rifftrax, free of royalty
Hi RT,
Just a thought -- I made a couple of shorts back in the day when I was young and lived in Hollywood. They're not very good. I'd be honored if they were riffed though."Surprise!" long version 18:34
https://youtu.be/tPbBOXc9Rjg"Surprise!" Producer's Cut 10:55
https://youtu.be/pKHYzbYo0XsBitch Trailer Demo long version 4:28
https://youtu.be/8AEEVK88A-0
(There's another version but I'm sure it's too short for riffing.)Can provide extensive context and details. Email me if interested.
Thanks!

Fairey Rotodyne
British promotional film for a helicopter airliner. Music kinda reminds me of Progress Island USA.

Harryhausen's fairy tale adaptations
Special effects legend Ray Harryhausen made Fairy Tale adaptation shorts and I wondered if you would riff them. They're Mother Goose Stories, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Story of King Midas, Hansel and Gretel, and the tortoise and the hare.

The Naked Witch 1961 The narration of the prologue (done by Gary Owens) reminded me of The Curse of Bigfoot with a touch of The Dead Talk Back. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054111/

Organ Grinder with Monkey Documentary short 1955
https://youtu.be/Xh2nLljpDY4 organ grinder short from 1955!
It's just perfect!
It's got great people to make fun of!
There are nice gaps in narration to fill with wit.
It's interesting AF.
The monkey is truly cute.22 votes -
Crack That Tank
Have you ever wondered how to take out a tank from the World War II era? Do you have a dame in Brooklyn? Do you refer to setting other people ablaze with Molotov Cocktails as "buying them a drink"?
Then brother, this short is for you!
Marvel at the absolute awkwardness of an actor pretending to be... I don't know, maybe a mafioso that got drafted? He certainly talks more like someone from Goodfellas than Saving Private Ryan. Perhaps "swagger" is also a requirement for cracking open a tank.
Except no tanks actually get cracked open in this short. But…

Get Street Smart: A Kid's Guide To Stranger Dangers (1995)
I had to watch this in grade-school and everyone I knew absolutely hated it.
It's all about an ugly orange alien named Corny who is dumb as dirt. He eats live goldfish for breakfast and has a time-traveling belt. He keeps doing dumb things with strangers throughout the day and gets saved by his time-traveling but eventually he either forgets it or it breaks. Cue a crisis.
I've since learned that there were also other Corny videos but thankfully the universe wasn't cruel enough to show them to me.

Shoplifter (1975)
A short film made for the purpose of educating retail business owners and staff about shoplifting, shoplifters, and how to spot their myriad of techniques.
It depicts multiple women shoplifting items by holding them between their legs or stuffing them in their underwear.
The film also features a middle-aged man lurking in a grocery store air vent using binoculars with the supposed intent of theft prevention.
What more can I say?
A fair copy is available on YouTube to browse.

Round and Round
This promotional short is dopey with really clunky stop-motion. Since the site seems to have been on a bad stop-motion binge the last several months I figured I'd suggest this again.

Semi-Consious: Driving in the Real World
We watched this for driver's ed. It is excessively musical and poorly acted, with random animated scenes. Need I say more?
