I read that the reason this is no longer available is due to a copyright strike by the director. Question: Weren’t rights obtained for the MST3K riff? How can the director now claim a copyright strike? I like the MST3K episode, and I would like to see it again. Any chance of that happening?

Thanks for doing what you do!

Also Kevin could write and perform the closing credits song, "(I Wonder if There's) Beer on the Sun".

Me: This MST3K riff is so old...
Audience: How old is it?
Me: This MST3K riff is so old that I had to play my DVD on my record player last night to watch it.
Audience: Groooooooan!
Me: I have not been able to watch this movie in it's entirety for over twenty years.
Audience: Why is that?
Me: Because I made a deal with myself that every time the name Rowsdower is said in "The Final Sacrifice", I have a shot of whiskey. I have never been able to make it past the first ten minutes of this movie.
Audience: Groooooooan! (Uproarious laughter)

Me: But seriously folks, isn't it time to dust off this old MST3K classic, freshen it up with some new riffs, do it "live" to make it more intense, dust it off, clean out the old cobwebs and put it on display for the newer Rifftrax fans, not to mention the older ones who forget where they put their car keys every day and laugh at things five minutes after they happen......? ? ? ?

.................................................................?? Uhhhhhhhh............................Ha Hah.

Rowsdower: "What are you doing back there, kid?"
Crow (as Troy): "But I've always been back here, remember?"
Troy: "I...I'm..."
Tom (as Troy): "I'm laundry!"

Rowsdower can you put my hair out?

Live from Toronto or Vancouver

RiffTrax live Live from Toronto?

Making this a live show would be a public service. Think of all the poor souls who could use a night out at the movies after a long day of slaving away in the lemon mines. Support lemon miners!

Well okay. You can write new jokes. I'd come anyway. :)

When I suggested this, I was new to RiffTrax and was not aware that when things were riffed live, new jokes were written. Therefore, I must say that if this is done live, the original jokes must stay.

Rowsdower! Yes!

I'll offer some good reasons as to why this should happen not only as a studio recording, but a live show as well. The 1st most important reason, is that most of the MST3K riffing is horribly out of date. I mean I love the original even though I don't really get most of the references, but I think that this film could really use an update. The second reason is that the rights to this movie might be pretty reasonably priced. I really want to see this one happen. I know a lot of other fans would too.

Pipper! Pipper partner.
