Space Station 76
Though this was suggested earlier, I'd thought I'd better expand this one so those can comprehend it why it should be included on the RiffTrax List.
Basically Space Station 76 was supposed to spoof the space craze which plagued films of the late-70s, thanks to Lucas' Star Wars. The problem came that some where so bad they even made the Star Wars' Holiday Special acceptable (Anyone recall 'The Ice Pirates,' or 'Galaxina?'). So sticking with the RMR format, I give the crew three good, detailed reason on why this film should be considered, although it's more on the recent end of the timeline.
1) Botched hybrid/bad spoof: Though the title implies this is technically a space-age film of the 70s, it actually devolves more into a 70s drama set in outer space, and not a good one at that. Considering the fact there are NO aliens whatsoever in this film. In fact, one subplot deals with the child, Sunshine, freaked out over the fact her pet gerbil keeps committing infanticide (which makes me wonder if her ditzy mom actually got her a mole rat instead). In fact, if it wasn't for the space scenes of asteroids and the station itself, you wouldn't ever think this was a film set in space... let alone the so-called futuristic tech of the 70s space theme, which leads me to the next reason.
2) The Futuristic Tech (or lack of thereof): Apparently the producers of SS76 obviously had never really watched a futuristic 70s space program. Though the film does technically have robots, automatic doors, vidphones, and push-button stuff. The problem is, that even Space: 1999 had better 'tech' to pull off in their show, and they had a limited-budget. Basically, the station robots are actually those better robot toys the rich kids got for Christmas, while the rest of us had to settle for either remote R2-D2s, or Tobors. Sunshine uses a pocket computer that suspiciously is reminiscent of one of those Mark IV pocket games (look it up on Wikipedia), uses Betamax tapes for learning. On the bright side, there's a pharmaceutical vending machine that dispenses drugs, and a vector based video game, yet, one turn off shows one character using a View-Master to order dresses.. yes, you heard me right, a view-master. Also laughable is Matt Bomer's character's cyber-hand, which looks more like an early prototype of the power glove (the power glove, it's so bad..)
3) Dubious casting and plot: The best way to describe this film is if you took a 70s sci-fi flick, then added the cast of That's 70s show grown up and married (the kids I mean), and surgically removed the aliens, and threw in some Soap Opera elements for good measure. One thing which bugged me was the fact, ever since his bomb with Kangaroo Jack, Jerry O'Connell has somehow been typecast as the sex-crazed Lothario. Except here, which is worst, they now have him married and with a kid, and cheating on his wife with his best friend's wife. You can even see this when Liv Tyler's character comes on board the ship, and O'Connell's character tells Matt Bomer's character that he would love to do her, complete with obscene noises and gestures.
Ironically just as everyone's secrets are about to blow up at a Christmas Party, an asteroid hits a space shuttle which was going to take O'Connell as his wife off the station. And the ending is a big odd, whereas despite the great soundtrack, you wondered what in hell was this really all about. I mean, Fun in Balloonland made more sense than this.. and that's not really saying much.
Overall, I believe this would be a great film for RiffTrax to riff as a VOD, or possibly select as the next Kickstarter Live project, since this film is hilariously bad for the fact the directors had good intentions and they just went horribly awry in doing it. And if not for the Anti-G sequences with Sunshine, you'd never know this was taking place on a space station. Well, that, and the randomly, oncoming asteroid.
