1. Dead Rising: Watchtower

   It's a not-so-great zombie movie based off the Dead Rising video game series, hear me out. So there's a couple youtubers called the Game Grumps that's basically the video game equivalent of Rifftrax/MST3K. I know they were involved in the fundraiser to bring back MST3K so it wouldn't be unheard of to bring them in to riff on Dead Rising- particularly because they've played the original game on their show.

6. The Losers

   Basically a movie about a motorcycle gang that is hired for a special ops mission in Vietnam. I don't even want to post my name to this as it is embarrassing I'll stay anonymous.

7. To Kill a Cop

   • Joe Don Baker, "Mitchell" himself, is the lead actor.
   • Desi Arnaz, Jr. plays a doomed cop.
   • Earl Eischied, the character Joe Don Baker plays, is a Southern-accented chief of detectives in New York City. Um, why couldn't the two-part movie be set in a city such as Houston or Atlanta instead?
   • Um, is it safe to say that Christine Belford wears the top half of a meter maid's uniform in this telefilm?

8. Prison-A-Go-Go

   Its a horrible low budget movie about a mad scientist who turns women into porcupines (yes, the animal.) They then have completely pointless and unexplained shower scenes. There is a count down time to the next shower scene in the lower right corner.

   Oh, and then ninja's attack for no reason. See it to believe it.

   Yes, exploitative garbage that needs your riff'n.

10. Easy Rider

    Because it's an all-star cast including Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Toni Basil, Karen Black and other refugees from Corman's World. Because it's a famous film but arguably not without its risible elements. Because the musical soundtrack is a lot of fun.

11. This Means War

    Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy and Chris Pine are all great actors. Chelsea Handler is a hoot. And there are car chases and huge explosions! And yet none of this could save this romcom turd (about FBI agents who compete for the heart of a girl between and sometimes during bouts of saving the world) from itself.

12. Cutie Honey (Live action film)

    Really terrible film based on a popular anime and manga and - inexplicably - directed by the director of the brilliant Neon Genesis Evangelion. If there is any way to make this awful film even funnier, you are the ones to do it!

13. The Wild Geese

    Well, you made fun of the TV trailer during the Star Wars Holiday Special, so why not make fun of that movie, then?

    1978 movie.

14. Collision Course

    I just learned of this terrible looking movie from 1992 starring Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi himself) and a dark-haired Jay Leno! The trailer for this off couple cop movie 'comedy' make me think the guys would have a lot to work with.

16. CBS Children's Film Festival: Alice the Chimp/Chimp Mates (1975)

    Exploring the film jungle, the next Fangarian entry of riffing in the CCFF is another quirky series called 'Chimp Mates' aka Alice the Chimp.

    The Seventies proved in being a really odd time for people having exotic pets. And for some reason, long before 'When Chimps Attack,' warned us about how apes REALLY are, apparently people though it was cute for kids to own chimps as pets.

    Yes, you could see the antics of chimps doing 'cute things,' but as with Kevin, you'd never see them doing REAL cute things.. like flinging poo at people, or ripping someone's face off. No, you had to have them doing nice, simple things...

    And with Alice this usually meant either being trapped in a plane, or go mental at a kids' music concert.. but I'm getting ahead of myself.

    'Chimp Mates' originally started as a series of shorts about Alice being adopted by her young owner, Lucy, and how they get into all sorts of trouble.

    Now normally when the UK did series about people owning animals, they usually worked at a zoo, or are vets, y'know, animal related professionals, so you'd see them with these exotic pets. But no, Alice the Chimp gets carted in a pram (baby carriage), gets dressed up and gets to run about the place. But sorry, Kevin, no poo flinging or biting people's faces off.. this is 70s kids fare after all... even by British standards.

    Anyway, the episodes usually consist of Lucy taking Alice about the place with people accepting this as if she was carrying one of those toy dogs. And they end up in bizarre situations, making you wonder how come Lucy and her family hasn't been ran out of town for all the trouble Alice causes them.

    Anyway, here's why RiffTrax should have a field day with this one.

    (1) One of the rare shows (well, next to Lancelot Link) that uses an actual chimp, rather than just getting a midget to dress up in a chimp suit. The staff once claimed they used several chimps for Alice, since they have a nasty habit of growing, and why female? Producers believed a female chimp would be easier to control, yeah, right... but it is unbelievable how well they were behaved considering what 'Alice' usually had to endure.. leading us into our next reason.

    (2) The unbelievable situations Alice would wind up in. In the clip I provide, 'Airborne,' Alice, Lucy and her brother go to a nearby airstrip where they are flying gliders. During which, a wannabe pilot gets grounded because he has been violating the rules of the gliders' club, and he decides to 'sabotage' the glider he was using for revenge. Now as with sitcom logic, guess who gets into the plane? So Alice ends up being as the episode title claims, 'Airborne.'

    One priceless moment is where Lucy stares at the plane in disbelief and goes 'Alice?' As if there are other chimps going about flying in planes, flinging poo on unsuspecting people below.

    Nevertheless, the problem is because the nasty kid sabotaged the glider, Alice can't land automatically and has to land the glider manually with the help of the glider club's head member. Of course, she makes it, and outs the culprit rather easy, since the genius left his tool box inside the plane with his name on it, and Alice calmly gives it to the head guy.

    While all this is going on, you wonder something, which brings us to point number three...

    (3) Apparently people in Britain are either okay with Lucy bringing Alice about the place, or they just don't care. No, seriously, it's true, in most episodes when Lucy is bringing Alice about her town, nobody bats an eye about it. Yes, when Daleks are about, the populace freaks, but a chimp, nah, that's perfectly acceptable.. until the chimp starts acting up... which they never show.. because, you know, kids show.. 70s.. censors... things like that...

    Anyway, I'd love to see Chimp Mates riffed for the fact of the sheer unbelievably nonsense of it all. I mean, Planet of the Apes made more sense than these episodes, and it's hilarious how everyone takes this in stride as if it's normal behaviour.

    Here are some clips from Alice the Chimp/Chimp Mates.. including the airborne one I mentioned.

17. CBS Children's Film Festival: The Chiffy Kids (1976-1980)

    Up next with my Fangarian offerings from the CCFF to be riffed was from an actual children's series from Britain. The best way to begin this suggestion is with a variation of the bizarre theme song itself:

    The Chiffy Kids, The Chiffy Kids,
    Who the hell are the Chiffy Kids, anyway?
    It's a bit cliche, possibly lax,
    Here's why it should be on RiffTrax...
    The Chiffy Kids...

    (Okay, might be out of tune with the lyrics, but let's get this show on the road..)

    Side note: when CBS first aired the two shorts, they got in trouble with viewers for not providing the intro. Mainly because the singers where singing so fast the 'abridged' theme, people thought they were calling them the Shitty Kids. Which would've made the show a bit more interesting..)

    So what was The Chiffy Kids? Well, this was Britain's answer to the wild 'kid craze' which plagued family entertainment in the Seventies.

    One of the things about the Seventies when it came to this fare, was producers went with three choices: (1) Wild puppetry/stop-motion characters; (2) Animation; or (3) 'The Little Rascals' schtick.

    And The Chiffy Kids decided to go with choice number three. Except here it's more like 'The Little Rascals' meet 'Top Cat,' because the members apparently have unique skills that you'd think an adult would have.

    Basically the adventures these kids have are usually normal.. (well, if you call fixing a Snail Race, and entering a Pancake race, NORMAL) with unexpected results. The kids are usually endearing and have a plethora of characters. So why on earth would you want to riff that?

    Mainly because the antics the kids get themselves into would usually be something you'd see the comedy classics like 'Laurel & Hardy' get into, and the fact The Chiffy Kids live in the same dimension where there are no adults around when they are orchestrating their schemes.

    And the fact despite the 'Lucy/Ethel' situations they end up getting themselves into, they always seem to work things out. Even the RiffTrax crew would have to suspend disbelief at the episodes.

    So here are the three reasons why this series should be riffed:

    (1) The hilarious theme song: Everyone knows in the 60s and 70s, shows had catchy tune, but what makes The Chiffy Kids' theme memorable is the fact the lyrics actually puts down each of the characters, no seriously, if you can locate an unedited version of the Chiffy Kids, listen to the lyrics carefully, the singers indicate each members' faults, except for the youngest member, Magpie (who is the most annoying character in the series, but somehow gets the ball rolling in these episodes, go fig.).

    (2) The wild episodes themselves: as I said, producers used to think you could take something from 'The Little Rascals,' and 'I Love Lucy,' and put it with kids to make it hilarious. But what I find interesting is the episodes sometimes come off more as Charlie Brown, because though you do see adults from time to time, for the majority of the episodes, you rarely see them about when The Chiffy Kids are doing things you'd never see kids doing by themselves... except possibly on Safety Woman or other educational films.

    (3) The inexplicable things these kids do in these episodes. Case in point: in the Great Snail Race, as the kids are 'training' their snails (which was instigated by Magpie who was claiming her snail was fast.. as if that's possible) one comes up with a 'motorized' lettuce (piece of lettuce spinning round a snail) because he heard the way they train greyhounds is with a motorized rabbit (yeah, some aren't quite the sharpest of the bunch here). Meanwhile some of the bullies decide they'll cheat with a metallic 'snail' (of course, more like 'slug') and a magnet (yeah, like that's going to fool anyone, as I said, not the sharpest knives in the drawer). But in the end, things somehow work out, even though you'll be damned to know how exactly.. oh, you,Chiffy Kids..

    Overall, this would be something I'd like to see the RiffTrax Crew tackle, even with Mary Jo and Bridget because these are classic short films of the ludicrous kind.

    Now regrettably, though I've found some Chiffy Kids episodes, they are only short clips I've been able to find for the series. But even a smattering should show you exactly why these episodes should be riffed... enjoy!

18. Aloha

    Aloha is reminiscent of a time in Hollywood when movies were made and they couldn't decide what kind of story they wanted to tell. It's equal parts romantic comedy, political thriller, and redemption story. It never quite decides which of those movies it wants to be and upon seeing it, I just knew that it would be perfect for Rifftrax to do. So, please, watch this trainwreck of a movie that stars the likes of Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone (who's supposed to be part Korean and Swedish, or something like that) , Rachel McAdams, John Krasinski, Alec Baldwin, and Bill freakin' Murray and just let the jokes come naturally.

19. Batman Returns

    Some say that the fall of the first Batman franchise started with Batman Forever, but I beg to differ...
    1. Pee-Wee Herman attempts infanticide
    2. Batman burns a man alive
    3. Michelle Pfifer puts a live bird in her mouth
    4. Creepy, horny Cobblepot
    5. Christopher Walken
    6. Said infant (see above) grows up to attempt mass infanticide

20. Aladdin and the Adventure Through Time (1999)

    An attempt at family entertainment by (in)famous (and cheap) filmmaker Roger Corman and Cirio Santiago, "Aladdin and the Adventure Through Time" shamelessly rips off both Disney's "Aladdin" and Turner Animation's "The Pagemaster," complete with animation that makes the Zelda CDi games look like "Kiki's Delivery Service." Notable voice actors include Cathy Caradini, Jim Cummings, and E.G. Daily, but no amount of voice talent can redeem the cheapness found in this cheap, sorry excuse for an animated film. Oh, and the protagonists make history accurate for their own gain, even when it endangers others' lives. Bravo.
