Dark Shadows (2012)
Johnny Depp and Tim Burton teamed up to adapt the TV series that inspired their careers. The original series was captivating in the BEST and WORST senses of the word. The wild imagination in the ongoing storytelling was amazing. The production value and bloopers (it was live-to-tape and aired daily after all) made it 'enjoyable' on a completely different level. Somehow, while attempting to embrace the kitsch, Burton and Depp managed to make a product that caused more second-hand blushing than the original series.

Maradonia the Shadow Empire
I don't think I CAN describe it... I mean... The 8 minute trailer really... Says nothing as well, but seriously, it exists.

Beau Geste (1939)
First, it's easy to access at this point if only to research: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukZ0qaqpKs4 has the whole film.
Second, it's structured well for it. Plenty of long shots with only music carrying some scenes with mundane goings-on. Dialogue's spaced well for quick jabs. Characters are reliably archetypal.
Third, it's a good movie but it is what it is. Had four future Oscar winning actors in it. It's straight adventure genre pre-pulp, like Tin-Tin or whatever Indiana Jones is based off of. Ridiculously melodramatic but Saturday morning cartoon-vibed premise. (Dude steals a gem because he wants something out of the estate of…

The Hunter (1980)
This painfully predictable action movie was Steve McQueen's last. What overdone 70s and 80s action conventions are in there?
Let's see... A tough bounty hunter who is a total alcoholic jackass and has no character, just quirks like horrible driving, his wife we all know is going to get kidnapped and makes justifiable demands the film passes off as annoying nagging, and the one dimensional crazy psycho.
On top of that, the film is glacially paced. Only Levar Burton and the late great Eli Wallach save it, though not by much.

Kenny Rogers as The Gambler
Holy travesty. Sweaty Kenny at his finest/mumbliest.

Future Hunters
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097404/?ref_=rvi_tt This movie reminded me of Axe Cop, insofar as it has about five different plots/set pieces that are supposed to connect to tell a story, bit actually have nothing to do with one another. The film ping-pongs from a Mad Max like future to a bike gang hassling a guy and his girlfriend to a kung-fu flick to a jungle adventure with both amazons and pygmies. Oh, and Nazis. Can't forget about the over-the-top, scenery-chewing Nazis. It is... special.

The Cariboo Trail (1950)
A gold rush story with too much conversation and little action, as a lot of Westerns at the time were.
Lots of subplots and plenty of riffable moments.21 votes -

Mission to Death (1966)
Cheesy, run of the mill war movie about a bunch of soldiers sent to destroy German radar systems and seeming awfully relaxed about it, save for the casualties along the way.

Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984)
I have a dream, that one day, children of ALL RACES and CREEDS may be able to watch a Riff of Voyage of the Rock Aliens with Mike, Kevin, and Bill. And maybe even Bridget Nelson and Mary Jo Pehl if they are available.
Yes, I have a dream...

The Ninja Immovable Heart
It's just spectacular. First of all the cast: DANNY GLOVER is the headliner for this movie, yet he spends the entire thing reading line that legitimately sound like he was still questioning the script. Then there's Rob Baard, the director and main actor of this flick. Then Roger Neave, who looks like every old actor you just can't place the name of but sounds like he's got Alzheimers. The plot takes place in about three present day scenes, flashbacks from 10 hours ago, 11 hours ago, 10 years ago and a few extras. It flows as well as flushing a…

Courier of Death
Ok, this little known movie is a gem of schlock, a diamond in the rough. A porn director's first attempt at "mainstream" cinema. Read the comment on this movie for a colorful history.

Samson in the Wax Museum (1963)
The masked Mexican wrestler investigates a mysterious doctor who uses his wax museum to create an army of monsters.
One of a very few "Santo" films to be dubbed in English. MST3K has previously riffed SAMSON VS THE VAMPIRE WOMEN, so maybe Rifftrax could tackle this, if possible. Unfortunately I'm unfamiliar with the copyright status of this film.
Also known as "Santo en el museo de cera".

War of the Robots
War of the Robots has no robots in it. Instead, aliens with Prince Valiant hair kidnap a scientist, ships are flown, counting happens, looks are exchanged, bad death scenes happen, more ships are flown, and a pilot dies and comes back to life because... EDITING! This movie is public domain.

The Milpitas Monster
A king kong sized fly monster made from litter terrorizes a town. Apparently no one in the town can see this 60 foot creature until it is literally right on top of them. Well, no one except the town drunk. It's really hard to sum up how bad this film is so please check out the trailer.

The Last Days of Man on Earth
Also known as the Final Programme, a reviewer described this movie as "an almost unmitigated disaster," with "an ending so inane that you will want your money back even if you wait and see it on television." Scientists and a woman who consumes her lovers are trying to create the perfect hermaphroditic, self replicating being. Wackiness ensues. If you do nothing else, please watch the trailer.

Street Trash
This is just a terrible acting showcase highlighted with people melting into pools of neon colored eighties-ness. A liquor store starts selling Viper, a forty year old brand of liquor that has gone bad.. REAL BAD! (their words not mine).
