Thanks Rifftrax crew for making me laugh for so many years! I'm now unable to watch a movie without people telling me to shut up, but you've got me through some tough spots in my life with laughter. My life would not be as funny without you guys! See ya guys tonight!!
Hey man, who is telling you off and why? We don't tolerate that crap on the Rifftrax website. Please let me know if you need any thing, or if I can helpout? Ttyl my new Rifftrax friend Cheers from Canada
@Pocketrocket-pj1us Hey, friend! Greetings from the States! It started about 40 years ago for me, when Elvira, The Mistress of the Dark, would riff on horror movies on one of the 5 TV stations we had. I will admit that I came for the boobs but stayed for the bizarre movies and hilarious comedy. Ever since then, I've been unable to not make fun of movies while watching them, that's why I get told to shut up!
The most frightening thing about this movie is that I escaped from country like that! Whenever I feel anything like false nostalgia for the place, I’ll just play this movie! Mocking this movie is a public service performed by RiffTrax!
Haha there's a reason RLM joked about this movie being too dull for best of the worst, especially since it's identical to all his other movies With riffs it's bearable haha
… they make it an amazing experience. And yet… I find it slightly atrocious that they don’t make one mention that THIS was the movie that Pod People plays clips from in the opening credits… … I guess only obsessive mst3k nerds would notice that 😅
Joe's awkward, weirdly non consistent shirt bothered me the entire movie! Everyone else changed clothes. I will ponder this forever. Great one, laughs galore 😂
Not 5 minutes after Bill makes that crack about Don Dohler's name in the opening credits, I realize this film will likely have actors that were also in Alien Factor (another Dohler film that Cinematic Titanic featured)...and first one I recognize (as young Moustache Dad from Twilight) is Mayor Plaid Pants.
This movie seems hellbent on fulfilling every stereotype about rural folk, and it does a pretty good job. I just want to say that the abusive gun-happy father's actor did a pretty good job playing the role. Most of the cast was wooden enough to make a table, but this guy did a good job I think.
Thank you guys once again. I continue to find solace in your movies since I was a kid way back in the late 1980s during tough times as l am in one right now once again. Your jokes have continued to bring me much joy. If you ever feel like what you do doesn’t really matter, know that there are probably more people like me who you helped who just needed to take a break from their frustrating circumstances. It really means a lot. I honestly hope to meet you guys one day, and shake your hands and just say thank you.
Right up there with Gtr Noodle from Roller Gator. Btw....these movies do not spend a dime on music. That exactly Gtr. Noodle is on one.of my yamaha keyboards. Press one key.. you have a complete movie score. Lol.
the "drive to Wisconsin for fireworks" joke is such a treat. I defiantly remember that from Michigan. The saddest thing I ever saw, was the fireworks stand on the Michigan side of the border, 1 mile away, the big stuff in Wisconsin.... what was that stand on the Michigan side doing? Oh yeah, selling to this guy. Ahh I love the midwest jokes.
@@SpamEggSausage basically every (human) character in Galaxy Invader is psycho Farrah Fawcett hair guy. you absolutely root for the alien in this movie.
16:20 “Do you think it’s a meteor?” “No, I made some phone calls to some experts who report something came down with some mass.” “Will others be looking for it too?” “No, I spoke to the Air Force and they think it’s a meteor.” *facepalm*
Man, this is so much like an Ed Wood movie. The writing, the acting style, the pace and setting. This is just like Bride of the Atom or Plan 9 From Outer Space. All it needs is an aging Bela Lugosi
Hands down the best you guys have EVER done. More people need to watch this. Absolutely hilarious from beginning to end. Please dont ever stop doing these
I’m pretty sure the only reason they riffed this one is because of 1:15:24- 1:15:30. Also what top notch Oscar worthy editing. Totally forgot that part was filmed twice from two different angles.
I saw Rifftrax Live yesterday but I'm still ready for more! I'm a little sad that this didn't turn out to be that alternate movie title for Pod People, but it looks just as dull and dreary so I'm excited to see it. 😁
The family father is perhaps cinema's greatest villain. I cheer when his facsimile gets tossed off the hilltop! And who doesn't love it when that one fellow, Frank Custer, drools.
9:00 People are always complaining about the Rob Zombie red neck family.... After this movie, you'll be beging for Sheri Moon Zombie....okay, bad example but you know what I mean ;)
Aaaw, a true classic by wood walking expert Don "good enough" Dohler. The answer to the age old question :" Why try to make a good movie, when you can make a cheap bad one"
Kinda hoping at any time the film would turn into Champagne and Bullets (aka Geteven). The bar scene when they assemble hunters was missing Shimmy and Sliiide
You know what's funny, thanks to Dohler here, I actually thought of a cool Sci-fi horror movie that has a similar plot to all of his movies. In short, the idea is an Alien comes down to earth and arrives in a rural area, then shit gets real when it starts killing people. Though, I believe the difference would be it has a unique alien design and copious amounts of gore and violence.
OMG! I've been searching for almost 40 years looking for this. I was in a frat house and almost every weekend we would rent this movie and get drunk and laugh all through it! Worst Movie Ever Made!

You called him "Young Twilight Mustache Dad". I would've called him "Thin Rowsdower". "We need to capture this thing alive. That's why I asked you to bring your guns."
With all due respect to whatever iteration of MST3K is currently running, I have to be honest: When I hear Kevin Murphy and Billy Corbett riffing on RiffTrax, I picture Tom Servo and Crow.

"Man I could use some eyeballs!"

Y’know, I agree with you that the dad-character actor is making a good go of it.

you make life GREAT! Ancient fan. you guys rule the spirit of laughter!
Imhotep!
The random Mid-Atlantic accent about 20 minutes in and the pseudo Jimmy Stewart are just choice!
That was amazing! I haven't seen a movie with Bunky Hart in it in such a long time!
Don Dohler movie...small town, alien, forest, lots of walking through said forest.
This, ahem, "film" makes track of the moon beast look like a masterpiece
Well, it is full length feature and it has characters. It seems the actors didn't run away in the middle of the shoot.
This movie is proof that aliens want nothing to do with us.
Hands down the best you guys have EVER done. More people need to watch this. Absolutely hilarious from beginning to end. Please dont ever stop doing these
Absolutely one of my top ten riffs!
Ah, I remember the days when huge shirt holes were all the rage.
This really is something. Balenciaga should take note.

Dont tell Dana White about the Ultimate Fighting Ostriches else he'll buy it and start a new sport like 'Power Slap' lol

I feel this whole movie is basically "Giant Spider Invasion", only somehow more classless and undignified.
That’s astonishingly accurate.
27:00 this might be in my top 3 RiffTrax moments of all time.
This is my 2nd favorite Rifftrax video. So so good! My fav is the live "manos the hands of fate". Love these guys!
The "chase music" at around 52 minutes in sounds like "The demon barber of Fleet Street" from Sweeney Todd.
