I started RLM with Half in the Bag, and over the course of watching all these Best of the Worst's, I've come to really love and respect Rich Evans. He's so hilarious, in some really subtle ways, like just the perfect way he conveys being downtrodden and beaten by life at the beginning of the video, or how he reads the ridiculous back-of-the-box lines. His banter with Jay was particularly on-point, they work well together. Is this what Stockholm Syndrome is like?
I started out with "Half in the Bag" as well, but got fed up with it in the end as most of the time it's now them moaning about Hollywood's flagpole and franchise films. "Best of the Worst" is great fun, though!
Andrew Gwilliam Half in the Bag is still worth it, it's much more amusing these days compared to the early ones, you can tell Mike and Jay are getting sick of watching the same crap and having to complain. Also definetely watch the one about Mr. Plinkett and Jay's wedding, and the volcano demon, and Mr. Plinkett's son also played by Rich Evans.

I was engaged to William T. Hicks long after he made this movie was a wonderful actor and was actually the best actor in the film. He was also a best friend of Larry Sprinkle of Charlotte NC channel nine news. His wife before he met me died of cancer and he was the best thing in the world to me. He was an amazing person and could actually do 5+chracters at a time when cutting commercials. He was just cast with the wrong actors. He also did the very first buffalo wing commercial for Bojangles, but it did not air because he died of a massive heart attack before he had a chance to see it. But if you call The owner of Bo's he will tell you all about it. If he had lived long enough he had been cast in something other than B movies while trying to care for a dying wife he would have been something special. Plus he did the Cuts for many cars back in the '70s. Order of The Black Eagle and he also starred in many other movies and was also part of the cast of Bonanza and Gunsmoke.
Internet rumors say the real life actress, Emily Longstreth, fell on tough times after her acting career fizzled, combined with diagnoses of serious mental illness.
I have never felt as conflicted about an editing decision as I did with the running over the head loop. On one hand, I was laughing my ass off. On the other hand, I honestly wanted nothing more than for it to stop.
5:16 you can literally see Rich's brain saving this newly learned Startrek trivia fact and filing it into the storage cabinet labelled: "IMPORTANT! DO NOT FORGET!"
The name 'Worth Keeter' is so weird that, even years after watching this episode, it immediately stood out when I saw it in (of all things) the credits for 'The Taking of Deborah Logan'. Apparently he was one of the assistant directors. Such a strange trajectory for his career.
I love that Jay pulled out the Pac Man ponchos and they both opened them, but as soon as Rich put his on he just cast his aside and let Rich look like a lone asshole.
My friend and I were extras in The Order of the Black Eagle in the scene with the Laser scientist being introduced at the U.N. or something. We did not make in on screen though. The ninja scene was filmed in a little elementary school somewhere in the NC mountains.
I argue that he was a D to -C. Yeah he was found not guilty in the murder trial but everybody knows he was responsible in some way, if not guilty. He still was found guilty in the civil suit I think. He barely got away with it, so in a way he almost failed. You cant get much worse than that. An A class murderer would be someone like the Zodiac. Nobody knows who the hell he was.
We randomly stumbled onto Raiders of Atlantis a few years ago and have watched it twice with the same drinking game rules. You drink every time someone dies, every time there's an explosion, every time they mention Atlantis and every time Crystal Skull comes on screen. Strongly recommended.
I can't believe this episode is nearing 5 years old. It's definitely one of the best episodes of BOTW, and I seriously can't believe I've been watching the channel for so long on top of that
I think Mike was going for a subtle reference to the film Misery when he lied and said that the old lady broke the kid's legs in Wired to Kill. He was probably hoping somebody would say, "Fuck you, that's from Misery, this isn't Misery!" so that he could respond, "This film *was* misery." But nobody got it.
You know, Wired to Kill is actually made fascinating by the how good Emily Longstreth was in it. While everyone else is hamming it up, she plays it straight and is really damn good at portraying the horror of it all. What results is a genuinely horrendous trip that tries to be fun but borders on effective torture porn. And even that is not nearly as depressing as the rumours about her fate :(
I think it was the small tire size combined with the soft sand and the speed that allowed him to escape injury. I'm setting up a recreation in my yard to see how my own head holds up.
@@katanatsunami _Thanks for inquiring. I'm his widow and this was his final, failed experiment. The result was ghastly._ _I've remarried and this was four years ago but reading your comment brought it all back._
Becky really should have been the focus of Wired to Kill instead of that hacker kid. I feel like the original screenplay was this mature themed post-apocalypse story where Steve had a supporting role as a Mad Max's Q and it was bought by some Stoklasa-level studio hacks and turned the movie into a weird atonal Home Alone gritty reboot.
You ever have one of those moments where RedLetterMedia release a new BOTW at night and you're trying to watch it, but you accidentally fall asleep and you missed everything after the ten minute mark? Just wondering.
Order Of The Black Eagle, I actually did stunts on this movie and the 1st one. Got ran over, blown up, killed at least a half dozen times. thanks for posting :)
Wired to Kill's scenario of quarantine towns of gangs that go out to rob the surrounding towns is a perfect setup for the non-Atlantis Raiders remake. Combine two bad movies into one good one!
Connor Jones Lol to me was. It was so gratuitous that they knew it would irritate half the people watching, but they committed to the bit. They also knew that a lot of people (myself included) would automatically count along with the first run, so it feels even more jarring and absurd when they start it over. Just all around great comedic instincts on the part of whichever one of them did the editing on this one.
Because RUclips is mostly full of children who are watching shit like Jake and Logan Paul. This isn't even an attempt at a "hot take" but the sad reality.
I dont think they were ever recommended to me even though I did watch movie reviews. The only reason I found out about them was because YMS mentioned them and in a shout out way.
I like going through old Best of the Worst episodes and spotting videos on their shelf that they will later watch. The intro to this video features cameos by at least: Killpoint Biohazard Double Dragon Deathstalker AND Deathstalker 2 Black Cougar And Repo Jake, no doubt among others!
+Bill Beerstein Probably because he can be a bit insufferable. He's grown on me and has his moments, but he's got a long way to go before reaching Rich or Jessie status.
Now that I know that the stuntman was drugged out of his mind when the ATV ran him over, I can appreciate the scene that much more. Thank god they replayed it 39 times.
Fun fact: Raiders of Atlantis was directed by Ruggero Deodato, the same guy who directed the infamous Cannibal Holocaust. This was also made around the same time a lot of post apocalyptic films were being made in Italy. The New Gladiators, which was also covered by RLM, is another example.
I think it's funny that Raiders of Atlantis says 4 stars with no citation... and yet it's still 4 stars instead of 5. You gave your movie a rating, whatever rating you wanted, and even then didn't give it 5/5. It must really be that bad.

Oh my God, RED ALERT, I think you guys made a mistake! In later episodes, its established that everyone gets 1 vote at the end. Now, you CAN of course split that vote in half or even into thirds but you only get one. I bring this up because in this episode Josh votes for both to get destroyed and y'all count this as a full vote toward both movies which brings the final tally to: Wired to Kill (Josh): 1 No Destruction (Mike & Jay): 2 Raiders of Atlantis (Josh & Rich): 2 So y'all end up destroying Raiders of Atlantis, I'm assuming because international celebrity Rich Evans gets the tiebreaking vote. HOWEVER, if we take the proper rules into the account the final tally SHOULD have been: Wired to Kill: .5 No Destruction: 2 Raiders of Atlantis: 1.5 JUSTICE FOR RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS, YOU FRAUDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS ALMOST AS IF YOU'RE MAKING THESE RULES UP AS YOU GO ALONG AND NO ONE ACTUALLY GIVES A SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a year late, but shouldn't Atlantis and Wired to kill both have 1 vote to avoid destruction then? Since they didn't want to destroy either, meaning each would get 0.5 points from both respectively.
today i woke up and said ''you know, i wonder if there's a video on youtube that shows a stuntman's head gettin' owned by a three-wheeler" and god damn if RLM didnt deliver, thanks gang
To this day, I wonder why Wired to Kill wasn't the boy using his robotics knowledge to turn himself into a cyborg or make a power armour suit so he can walk again and get revenge that way, rather than trying to kill them with Home Alone pranks and Robot Wars contestants ferried by a scared teenage girl.
Keep in mind that his robots were terrible at fine motor control, so with Becky's luck, Steve would try to give her a hug at the end and crush her to death by accident, or something.
I was watching this episode again today, and my favorite segment is Wired to Kill on this episode. there's a lot of crazy shit in this episode but that movie, at least the way they depict seeing it, is really disturbing. I decided to look it up because there's a guy they keep showing who looks like Tiny Lister (the guy who yells "I got it! What the fuck was it?" after shooting the robot). Turns out it is Tiny Lister (most well known probably now for his role in The Dark Knight as the large inmate who refuses to blow up the other boat- he died in 2020 at 62). There's a couple noticeable "bad movie" stars of the 80s in this film besides Tiny Lister. Frank Collison (who actually has been in more recent stuff- bad movie fans may recognize him as the Hot Dog guy in The Happening- he's still alive which I mention because it will become apparent a bunch of these people died), Richard Kim Milford (bad movie fans would recognize from Laserblast- sadly Wired to Kill was one of his last movies he died young in 1988 during heart surgery), and Merritt Butrick (most notably known for his roles in multiple early Star Trek films as Dr. David Marcus- he also died very young at 29 and this was one of his last films as well). Emily Longstreth (Becky) is still alive as far as I know, but from my research things have not gone well for her in the real world. Her last role was in 1994 (long after Wired to Kill which I would argue she did too good a job in a movie that entirely abused and exploited her). No one entirely knows what really happened to her, but if you google her there is a Quora board that shows someone claiming to be an ex family member (an ex of Emily's brother) explained that Emily developed severe mental issues in her late 20s and had been in and out of homeless shelters. It's one of those things you cannot verify but appears to be true given the way it was written. If it is true it would seem her real life is very sad much like her character in Wired to Kill. I think Wired to Kill would be a better movie (not including the fact that in the middle of the movie we miss a large chunk of what was supposed to happen) if it ended with her killing Steve and then leaving. Anyway, sorry to be a bummer, although that movie kind of is already, but I have been fascinated with that movie since first seeing this episode and did not see anyone else talk about it (everybody talks about the guy getting his head run over in the episode which is also a fascinating story which you can read about in other comments).
Thanks for sharing the findings of your research. As inhumanly godawful as so many of these movies are, they're often less interesting than the stories from behind the scenes and/or the stories of the people involved in their making. Whatever may have become of Ms. Longstreth, I hope she's found peace.
It seems like the whole Atlantis theme might have been inserted into the movie afterwards. The original movie might have been about riping off Mad Max, but at one point they got scared about being sued.

4/5 is a more believable rating than 5/5 and probably would convince more people to buy it.
Some critics use a 4 star rating
Leonard Maltin used 4 stars in his review books, as does Roger Ebert.
It's five stars in the UK, except Time Out, which uses seven to be difficult.
Ebert used 4 star ratings and it basically became the standard in the US. So they gave themselves 4/4.
I want to remake Wired to Kill and keep everything the same except the end, wherein Becky beats the living shit out of and leaves Steve after realizing she almost fired his bullshit booby trapped gun.
+Adrock 2099 I honestly think that Wired to Kill could be a great movie if it were more self aware and under a better director.
The best thing about the last Jedi was discovering you guys. Quite honestly the funniest and best channel on you tube. Glad I found you.
The baboon is the most effective character in the movie.

Meh... just a cliched story with a gender reversal.
Rich sitting dejected in that Pacman poncho might be the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Mike was so drunk in this one, I love it
Jay: "Now that I know what's going on, I'm okay with this movie."
The writer: "I failed..."
Oh my God, RED ALERT, I think you guys made a mistake!
In later episodes, its established that everyone gets 1 vote at the end. Now, you CAN of course split that vote in half or even into thirds but you only get one.
I bring this up because in this episode Josh votes for both to get destroyed and y'all count this as a full vote toward both movies which brings the final tally to:
Wired to Kill (Josh): 1
No Destruction (Mike & Jay): 2
Raiders of Atlantis (Josh & Rich): 2
So y'all end up destroying Raiders of Atlantis, I'm assuming because international celebrity Rich Evans gets the tiebreaking vote.
HOWEVER, if we take the proper rules into the account the final tally SHOULD have been:
Wired to Kill: .5
No Destruction: 2
Raiders of Atlantis: 1.5
JUSTICE FOR RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS, YOU FRAUDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS ALMOST AS IF YOU'RE MAKING THESE RULES UP AS YOU GO ALONG AND NO ONE ACTUALLY GIVES A SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a year late, but shouldn't Atlantis and Wired to kill both have 1 vote to avoid destruction then?
Since they didn't want to destroy either, meaning each would get 0.5 points from both respectively.
this is where Mike would say "shut the fuck up"
Dude! Spoilers!
I love it when you guys knock tapes off for Rich to pick up. So hilarious. Make another joke about Mike being drunk.
While watching Power Rangers in Space I realized that Worth Keeter directed half the episodes of the series.
if order of the black eagle is a vanity project for the baboon, then the baboon should be wearing a black tank top
I wonder if josh got a reprimand for being out of uniform. Where is his zippered hoodie?
Yeah! Where does he get off; trying to bring class,to this classless crew! 😅
Man, I love these BOTW episodes... Still good after almost three years
Still good after almost four years
Still good after 7 years.
Is being from Milwaukee officially "cool" now? Are we "there" yet?
+HellBent no
+HellBent no
+Mitch Evans so definitely no then
it will be "cool " when Milwaukee no longer exists. possibly by a nuke
I was thinking about moving to Milwaukee & saying I lived there my whole life
today i woke up and said ''you know, i wonder if there's a video on youtube that shows a stuntman's head gettin' owned by a three-wheeler" and god damn if RLM didnt deliver, thanks gang
What's the track that plays during the destuction of the tape? 1:03:22 Sounds good!
Anyone figured this one out yet? I wouldn't mind knowing that one either.
I'd love to know too!
33:10
I've never heard Mike so giddy.
And it's at the prospect of an old lady getting killed.
Mike’s list of things in Order of the Black Eagle is incredible. It’s the best movie of all time surely!?
Is that an emergency eye wash station in the background at their studio? How bad are they worried these movies might get?
Some of them make you feel like your eyes are burning!
Oh god Ritch is back to his silver linings playbook phase.
Colin Finch Mostlythinkihave The way you spelled that is horribly ironic. Considering Rich's speaking disorder.
To this day, I wonder why Wired to Kill wasn't the boy using his robotics knowledge to turn himself into a cyborg or make a power armour suit so he can walk again and get revenge that way, rather than trying to kill them with Home Alone pranks and Robot Wars contestants ferried by a scared teenage girl.
Keep in mind that his robots were terrible at fine motor control, so with Becky's luck, Steve would try to give her a hug at the end and crush her to death by accident, or something.
why would he do that when he has a perfectly good Becky lying around to do shit for him?
"Oh, so this is how AIDS started."
I just peed a little.
good for you
Agreed! 😂
10/10 ending, beautifully shot, well executed, my blood lust is satitated.
Thanks dudebrahs!
Becky and Steve of course later went on to tell us how to spot counterfeit Beanie Babies.
I was watching this episode again today, and my favorite segment is Wired to Kill on this episode. there's a lot of crazy shit in this episode but that movie, at least the way they depict seeing it, is really disturbing. I decided to look it up because there's a guy they keep showing who looks like Tiny Lister (the guy who yells "I got it! What the fuck was it?" after shooting the robot). Turns out it is Tiny Lister (most well known probably now for his role in The Dark Knight as the large inmate who refuses to blow up the other boat- he died in 2020 at 62). There's a couple noticeable "bad movie" stars of the 80s in this film besides Tiny Lister. Frank Collison (who actually has been in more recent stuff- bad movie fans may recognize him as the Hot Dog guy in The Happening- he's still alive which I mention because it will become apparent a bunch of these people died), Richard Kim Milford (bad movie fans would recognize from Laserblast- sadly Wired to Kill was one of his last movies he died young in 1988 during heart surgery), and Merritt Butrick (most notably known for his roles in multiple early Star Trek films as Dr. David Marcus- he also died very young at 29 and this was one of his last films as well).
Emily Longstreth (Becky) is still alive as far as I know, but from my research things have not gone well for her in the real world. Her last role was in 1994 (long after Wired to Kill which I would argue she did too good a job in a movie that entirely abused and exploited her). No one entirely knows what really happened to her, but if you google her there is a Quora board that shows someone claiming to be an ex family member (an ex of Emily's brother) explained that Emily developed severe mental issues in her late 20s and had been in and out of homeless shelters. It's one of those things you cannot verify but appears to be true given the way it was written. If it is true it would seem her real life is very sad much like her character in Wired to Kill.
I think Wired to Kill would be a better movie (not including the fact that in the middle of the movie we miss a large chunk of what was supposed to happen) if it ended with her killing Steve and then leaving.
Anyway, sorry to be a bummer, although that movie kind of is already, but I have been fascinated with that movie since first seeing this episode and did not see anyone else talk about it (everybody talks about the guy getting his head run over in the episode which is also a fascinating story which you can read about in other comments).
Thanks for sharing the findings of your research. As inhumanly godawful as so many of these movies are, they're often less interesting than the stories from behind the scenes and/or the stories of the people involved in their making. Whatever may have become of Ms. Longstreth, I hope she's found peace.
And what happened to the actor portraying Steve?
Wired to Kill has definitely always stuck out to me, it's embedded in my brain
Deebo in Friday
What I enjoy most about RLM reviews is that I feel like I'm enjoying a laugh with you guys rather than just watching a movie summary. Good job!
39:30 best part of wired to kill. It's like a comedy of this bossy cripple and this poor woman having to pull off all those ridiculous plans lmao
The Order of the Black Eagle also has an actress named "Flo Hyman" in it
Alex Shannon I’d rather not
Nice shipping crate from Miskatonic University. I'd like to see that unboxing video.
Or would I . . .
TehPhysics Lovecraft?
Howard Phillips Lovecraft, indeed.
It seems like the whole Atlantis theme might have been inserted into the movie afterwards. The original movie might have been about riping off Mad Max, but at one point they got scared about being sued.
Becky Didn't Know could be a Best Actress award winner if remade today with all the nuances mentioned here.
