I know he was once a serious actor but there's no way I can imagine a shirtless Leslie Nielsen in a forest shouting "I'M IN CHARGE OF THIS CAMPING TRIP" as anything but a comedy.
He was once an actor in serious movies performing ostensibly serious roles, but I wouldn't say Leslie Nielsen was ever exactly serious. Even a lot of his non-comedy performances were pretty campy.
He went from "It'd be a better idea going back to the ranger station" to full on lord of the flies in a single transition. Doubly funny considering he had no actual reason to care about these people, and would have made just as much sense for him to leave them behind. Usually a descent into madness takes more than an afternoon. XD
I was just wondering if he was supposed to be another "animal affected by the ozone depletion." Because, yeah, he got real weird and super scary, really fast.
It's intriguing how not one single person, not in the movie, or among the riffers, reacted to that guy throwing away the canteen with "You know, we could have filled that back up. We're not in the desert; it's a forest and it's just been raining."
I also love the fact that he was saying he had finally come to grips with his impending death ....but went ahead and drank the rest of everyone's water anyway. 😅😆

It's much like the insane theory of Evolution that's fraught with a plethora of literal hoaxes and is constantly changing as new data continually contradicts the insane nonsense such as rock strata supposedly millions of years apart merging together at angles that according to the theory shouldn't be possible, marine life fossils found in every strata even on top of mountains, mammals found in the same strata as dinosaurs completely refuting the theory of a dinosaur era, creatures allegedly millions of years old but exactly the same as creatures today like crabs and birds, no transitional fossils at all period, etc, Evolution is the most insane theory ever conjured up by the Jesuits in order to make people not believe in the bible which they hate as it prevents people from being under their control, same as the Catholics the reason why they killed people for having printed bibles in the common language so that people could read it themselves and not have to depend on the catholic church, taking away from their tithes and control over the people.
I've often wondered if the term "bear" came from someone who first realized they were homosexual while watching that scene. Then again, "doctors" tell me I should be taking a steady diet of antipsychotics to be allowed out in public. Ha! What do they know hotshot?
I'm not even halfway through and I have stopped about 15 times already to pause , laugh, rewind and watch it again because there's so many wonderful jokes. This is my favorite Riff Trax ever!
It would've fit right in with the plot if Rachel Carlson (Silent spring) had been in this either as a VILLAIN or as somebody who got their ass kicked by some birds!
I bought this one years ago as soon as I read a comment mentioning there was a scene where a shirtless Leslie Neilson wrestled a bear. Honestly, what else COULD I have done after hearing that??? Thanks for uploading, Rifftrax!
I grew up with Bill, Mike, and Kevin (cant forget Joel lol) on MST3K, and hearing these voices riff bad movies is the only think that seem right in the world!
I saw this as a child at a double feature with The Island Of Dr. Moreau at a drive in with my family in 1977! My mom, who is 87 now, still talks about this movie, she remembers the cause as aliens not ozone layer tho. She is obsessed with this story, hoping for a reason why everything seems so crazy in the world I think. I don't think she would get the humour of Riff Trax so I hope I can find a way to show it to her. The greatest fear in the 70s was nature and Gen X kids I guess!? Lol
This was still Leslie Nielsen's Serious Actor period (1977). In 1980, he'd undergo a resurgence in his career in AIRPLANE! as one of the comedy greats of a generation.
Ok that scene where they were fighting the cougers was actually kinda badass. They put those actors in so much mortal danger for our entertainment, and entertained I was
I'm sure those were stuntmen being mauled. But it was the kid and the news woman who were really badass, while Leslie Nielsen's character stood by pissing his pants in fear, while holding a club in his hand the whole time. I would have thought he would have started beating off that first cougar the moment he or she pounced! But no. He's useless.
@@lawrencescales9864 What? Cougars have killed lots of people. Not extremely often compared to other animals, but it DOES happen. 126 documented attacks in 100 years in North America, 27 of which were fatal. Generally speaking, they don't attack because they don't usually regard (adult) humans as viable prey, and they usually flee if the human fights back enough (as most predators do).
Oh boy, Leslie Nielsen calling a guy "hot shot" over and over. Wish he would've said it in Airplane! "Hey hot shot, I am serious! And don't call me Shirley."
The only thing you should have learned in France is that their much vaunted sauces were primarily created to hide the odor and flavor of rotting meat. _Ingredients:_ 1 1⁄2 cups sugar 1⁄2 cup butter 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained 3 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 eggs 1 unbaked 8" pie shell _Directions:_ Beat together all ingredients. Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake 50 minutes in 350 degree oven or until it sets and is brown.
@@kevinmills1318 I wonder if a pie with pineapple in it would even set up correctly. You can't put raw pineapple in gelatin because some of the enzymes in it dissolve the gelatin, maybe something similar happens with pie filling and it ends up being a sad goopy mess in a pie crust. That'd be depressing.
Gotta say I knew the movie was gonna be bad but I never expected Leslie Nelson to out of nowhere turn completely insane from one and immediately into the next scene where suddenly he’s shirtless and swinging a stick around like a caveman.

So they probably get the same amount either way, but you're paying $2 extra to have it in your Amazon library instead of your Rifftrax library.
There were a whole mess of these "nature gone berzerk" horror movies released in the 70s. The guys have riffed a number of them over the years. This is honestly one of the more memorable entries in that subgenre. It's mostly because of depraved Leslie Nielsen, but still.
This movie used to play on TBS and TNT all the freaking time when I was a kid lol. It made me TERRIFIED of every single animal in my neighborhood lol. I remember asking my mother if this could really happen and she was all into recycling back then, back when they actually recycled paper and plastic lol, and she would say things like "if we don't change things" and I would get even more scared lmao!!
These characters kept on littering throughout the movie. No wonder the animals were pissed! Still, without all the vicious animals attacking and fighting dirty, the environmental message is muddled as we just hate these critters'* guts. At least they employed Nielsen as Checkov's A-hole. *"critters" for animals = "hot shot" for humans?
There were literally zero establishing shots showing humans being irresponsible with the environment. No factories pumping out smoke, nobody burning trash, nothing. It seriously was a film about the dangers of camping. If it hadnt been for that opening paragraph and three or four sentences, you'd be forgiven if you thought it was anti-environmentalist. If we kill all the animals, nothing will attack us!
Wow! Mike writes erotic "Night Court" fan-fiction TOO? Mine is called, "Fielding of Dreams" and I've got a new one I'm working on called, "A Roz By Any Other Name"
Rifftrax, again, yeah Grizzly 2: the revenge finally was released in the past couple years! It's on prime video, at least for now. I'd didn't realize RUclips charged to live chat, I'm poor has hell! Thank you for doing these!
@@kalistapaige2768 the $5 button is for a superchat, where you donate money to the channel and your message is prominently displayed. Most channels make a special effort to read all superchats before the live broadcast ends.
I really liked the part where a bunch of unknown people walked around, found nothing, gave us no point of reference, and got attacked by random animals. The ozone, am I right? This was a slog.
Haha, was just thinking the same thing! Last time went camping for a long weekend, someone told me he liked how my dreads were coming. I dont have dreadlocks. 🤨
How can the people telling the jokes who we can't see show more emotion and be more expressive than ther actors? I've seen inanimate objects act with more emotion than these people, who is that possible?
One of the things I hate most about this genre is the seemingly required character of the super jerk who is rude to everyone. It’s like they don’t have enough substance to have some conflict in the story so they feel they have to pep it up with some artificial human drama, too.
Literally every character is a stupid stereotype, but sexual assault Leslie Nielson was especially egregious. That dude was waiting his whole life to take his shirt off and kill/maim people
Watching Leslie Neilson progress from a racist jerk to flat-out trying to rape a girl was surreal. I keep forgetting that he had a long career as a serious actor before he became Frank Drebin of Police Squad.
This was a movie of the week when it first came out. You didn't want to be the kid in school the next day who hadn't seen it the night before. It's all we talked about or played at recess for a week.
But "Kemosabe" is what the INDIAN called The Lone Ranger! A White man calling an Indian "Kemosabe" is like Michael Corleone calling Capt. McKlusky a "spaghetti."
I honestly kind of want to remake this movie as a culmination or parody of this subgenre of horror with animals running amok. Kind of like Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive, but with animals instead of machines/trucks.
A) Probably not yet cast when writing the script. But maybe. And: B) This is Leslie Nielsen, best known for _Forbidden Planet._ Not Leslie Nielsen, best known for _Airplane_ and _The Naked Gun._ Which doesn't hardly make it less weird, just differently weird.
I will say, Ive never seen a movie before where half the group willingly follows the villain. Credit where credit is due, if they had stuck together they'd have killed Nielson in 10 seconds flat. Its like they started with the shirtless bear wrestling and wrote backwards
Needless violence and attempted rape followed by wrestling a bear, half nude, in the rain. When did this movie turn into a Walker Texas Ranger episode?
Aha, not familiar but thanks a lot. Best (most technically competent) part of the movie! I Was genuinely wondering who did it, the beginning has a real Shining vibe with that we'll-force-you-to-feel-something bit from the opening credits. I'll look up the composer.
I know he was once a serious actor but there's no way I can imagine a shirtless Leslie Nielsen in a forest shouting "I'M IN CHARGE OF THIS CAMPING TRIP" as anything but a comedy.

I remember asking my mother if this could really happen and she was all into recycling back then, back when they actually recycled paper and plastic lol, and she would say things like "if we don't change things" and I would get even more scared lmao!!
So happy to see this stuff on YT! Great job fellas!!
Interesting that this upload appeared shortly after this movie became available on Shudder! ;)
Our dad would take us to the drive in , I loved this movie , thoroughly enjoyed it
One of my favorites. Frank Drebin goes batshit crazy in this. I love it!
These characters kept on littering throughout the movie. No wonder the animals were pissed! Still, without all the vicious animals attacking and fighting dirty, the environmental message is muddled as we just hate these critters'* guts. At least they employed Nielsen as Checkov's A-hole.
*"critters" for animals = "hot shot" for humans?
There were literally zero establishing shots showing humans being irresponsible with the environment. No factories pumping out smoke, nobody burning trash, nothing. It seriously was a film about the dangers of camping. If it hadnt been for that opening paragraph and three or four sentences, you'd be forgiven if you thought it was anti-environmentalist. If we kill all the animals, nothing will attack us!
Critters have varmints.
So where does Critter from _Girl in Gold Boots_ fit into all this?
Wow! Mike writes erotic "Night Court" fan-fiction TOO? Mine is called, "Fielding of Dreams" and I've got a new one I'm working on called, "A Roz By Any Other Name"
Brilliant
Rifftrax, again, yeah Grizzly 2: the revenge finally was released in the past couple years! It's on prime video, at least for now.
I'd didn't realize RUclips charged to live chat, I'm poor has hell! Thank you for doing these!
Damn, I could've riffed on this LIVE, double damn!
I must've misunderstood the $5 icon, my first time doing the live chat
@@kalistapaige2768 the $5 button is for a superchat, where you donate money to the channel and your message is prominently displayed. Most channels make a special effort to read all superchats before the live broadcast ends.
@@DanteStormsoul cool, thanks for the info!
I really liked the part where a bunch of unknown people walked around, found nothing, gave us no point of reference, and got attacked by random animals. The ozone, am I right? This was a slog.
Okay. Hotshot.
Looking forward to this one, hotshot.
"I call this fish loss support group to order." LMAO!!
I can't believe they didn't riff on the fact that her hair was PERFECT the entire film. It was conditioned even in the last shot of the film.
Haha, was just thinking the same thing! Last time went camping for a long weekend, someone told me he liked how my dreads were coming. I dont have dreadlocks. 🤨

Thanx for continuing to put this stuff out. It is always awesome.
The lesson is : hiking is fun and animals are cool
I don't know the hunter and the bear joke, but after seeing this movie I don't need to be told it
How can the people telling the jokes who we can't see show more emotion and be more expressive than ther actors? I've seen inanimate objects act with more emotion than these people, who is that possible?
Because they're comedy professionals, who have been doing the for around 40 years :)
They're the best!
Cheers from Canada
I lost it at "Man, the Fanciest Feast of all!"
Loved this movie, I adore these funny guys
One of the things I hate most about this genre is the seemingly required character of the super jerk who is rude to everyone. It’s like they don’t have enough substance to have some conflict in the story so they feel they have to pep it up with some artificial human drama, too.
Literally every character is a stupid stereotype, but sexual assault Leslie Nielson was especially egregious. That dude was waiting his whole life to take his shirt off and kill/maim people
Watching Leslie Neilson progress from a racist jerk to flat-out trying to rape a girl was surreal. I keep forgetting that he had a long career as a serious actor before he became Frank Drebin of Police Squad.
That was a common trope of these 70s "disaster" flicks. They were basically, "The Love Boat" with killer raccoons instead of affable cruise directors.
I kept waiting for everyone to go into a cave and come out with all humanity gone....then realized that's "Where Have all the People Gone."
I love when the guys do Wu Tang Clan references
I now get images of shirtless Leslie Nielsen when I listen to tha GZA
Leslie 'Perpetually 70' Nielson
This was a movie of the week when it first came out. You didn't want to be the kid in school the next day who hadn't seen it the night before. It's all we talked about or played at recess for a week.
I feel obligated to point out that Clifton's cafeteria in LA served pineapple pie for like 70 years.
'Ma' is the Shelley Winters of this Titanic in the wilderness movie.
This movie has the record for how many out of place sounds and behaviors can come out of one poor Harris hawk
"Such as seals".... OMG, I died at this Birdemic Reference.....
This was great! thank you so much guys!
Did Leslie Nielsen read the script before he agreed to do this role?
I think he read his cable bill and said "Shit, looks like I'm doing Day of the Animals."
Man, the Fanciest Feast of them all. Lol
thanks for uploading this one, hotshots. gotta say though, this was one weird sequel to a talking cat?! (or a slightly less weird sequel to grizzly.)
A Murdering Cat!?!
@@TerrenceNowicki that talkin’ cat is a real hotshot.
Rifftrax are Hot Shots!👥👥
"(snore) Hotshot... Kemosabe... Hotshot.... Kemosabe..."
But "Kemosabe" is what the INDIAN called The Lone Ranger! A White man calling an Indian "Kemosabe" is like Michael Corleone calling Capt. McKlusky a "spaghetti."
@@alexmuenster2102 I think we can all agree The Lone Ranger would have been better if Tonto called him a "Beverly Hills Bitch"
Remember: Future events, such as these, may affect you - in the future!
I like the puma in this thumbnail.
I honestly kind of want to remake this movie as a culmination or parody of this subgenre of horror with animals running amok. Kind of like Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive, but with animals instead of machines/trucks.
I would really liked to have been in the writer's room when they came up with shirtless Leslie Neilsen fighting a bear in the rain.
A) Probably not yet cast when writing the script. But maybe. And:
B) This is Leslie Nielsen, best known for _Forbidden Planet._ Not Leslie Nielsen, best known for _Airplane_ and _The Naked Gun._ Which doesn't hardly make it less weird, just differently weird.
I will say, Ive never seen a movie before where half the group willingly follows the villain. Credit where credit is due, if they had stuck together they'd have killed Nielson in 10 seconds flat. Its like they started with the shirtless bear wrestling and wrote backwards
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 lol yeah, the whole "this guy seems totally reasonable, let's follow him instead" bit is just as wtf as the bear stuff
Needless violence and attempted rape followed by wrestling a bear, half nude, in the rain.
When did this movie turn into a Walker Texas Ranger episode?
5:30 for some reason. That guys tone of voice reminds me of Paging Mr. Herman, Mr Herman you have a telephone call at the front desk."
It's got music by Lalo Schifrin, which is a big plus!
Aha, not familiar but thanks a lot. Best (most technically competent) part of the movie! I Was genuinely wondering who did it, the beginning has a real Shining vibe with that we'll-force-you-to-feel-something bit from the opening credits. I'll look up the composer.
6:03 still makes me laugh hysterically every time I hear it.
