Actually, Rich wasn't dead at the end. His effect on the solid objects around him means he was likely just out of phase with our physical reality.

Guys, as a 46 year old man let me give you a little insite on KISS Meets Phantom of the Park. When I was 8 KISS was king. Not only where they the biggest band in the world they were like superheores. Everyone in my class was beyond excited to see this 'movie'. They promoted it for a month and we all talked about it for weeks. When I left on Friday to go to my grandfather's house we all said goodbye and couldn't wait to watch it that night then talk about it Monday..nay...forever. So...imagine our diassapointment when it took 30 minutes (not counting commercials) before KISS finally showed on screen. Then Peter Criss sounded like a frigging cartoon character (not a superhero). It was obvious even then that it wasn't his voice. Also, Gene Simmons...oh man. Remember, we are all 8 so the lines of 'are these regular guys' is blurred. And he breaks through a wall as Scooby-Doo music plays in the background?! I fell asleep. Kids were sooooo upset on Monday. Besides the Star Wars Holiday Special, this was the biggest disappointment for entertainment of my generation. And now I'm a huge MST3k and Riff-Trax fan. I own this movie and have watched it like 10 times. It's a masterpiece! By the way, Rip and Destroy was actually a distortion of a song Hotter Than Hell. So the lyrics were different. Plus it's supposed to influence the crowd.
That actually is Peter Criss' voice. I've heard stories about him on comedian Dana Gould's podcast, whose child was in the same school. Also, at one point in this they use a body double, but the double is a black man in KISS makeup, and you can still see his hands.
It's funny how all these abysmal horror movies no one has ever heard of get remastered to 4K bluray while Star Trek DS9 and Voyager are stuck in SD land
@@trevorgardner2647 The good news: They could actually restore the film to 4K, but the special effects themselves as you said, were shot on tape, and therefore can't really be restored. In TNG's case, they completely redid all the special effects frame by frame. This probably cost them no joke like a hundred million+ dollars to do every special effect frame for every episode for 7 seasons. They were banking on the blurays selling like hotcakes--perfect timing to also put the show on streaming services. So after the blurays did *not* meet their sales expectations, pretty much all projected efforts to remaster VOY and DS9 were (currently) shelved. They should just make it a fan thing. They'd do a better, lore-friendly job, too.
@@joelsmith5938 Honestly, I'd be fine with just having the effects upscaled by an AI or something. The technology is there (waifu2x upscales single images amazingly using AI) and it'd cost them a fraction of the money.
It's easier and cheaper for small companies to buy the rights. Big studio films are all locked up by their owners who don't want to spend the money on them while still considering them too valuable to let anyone else do it. So instead they just sit around not earning them any money.
@@joelsmith5938 this is true. I actually appreciate watching DS9 in SD; it has a certain ambiance that might be lost in higher resolution. By the way because TOS was edited in film, it was incredibly easy for them to do an HD transfer which they did like 15 years ago.
I shit you not, I took a trip up to Aspen to spend a weekend, and while checking in noticed that there were quite a few little people in the lobby. Flash forward a few hours when my wife and I were walking around downtown and noticed that Mini KISS was playing in town. By the time we got back to our hotel room, we saw that Mini KISS, in full makeup, were just hanging out in their room adjacent to ours. The one thing I can confirm is that Mini KISS has typically sized groupies.
I can't believe it took me this long to realize the theme of Killer Workout has the lyric "I'm a woman on fire" and the key driver of the plot is a woman bursting into flames and being horribly burned on over 70% of her body.
Rich is fucking hilarious. He can be pretty goofy and his laugh is definitely an acquired taste but, his wit is super sharp and he’s constantly catching me off guard with his jokes.
"Acquired taste" hmm...never thought about it like that but you are correct, if you do not instantly fall in love with his infectious laughter it would probably annoy you to no end. God bless that man in any case.

There's a vampire legend in that part of the world known as the penengallan which floats around by night with just the head and its entrails (the entrails drip a caustic substance that can kill as well). The vampire goes to the homes of pregnant women and suck the blood of the fetus in a pregnant woman using a really long tongue. It's one of a number of vampires that somehow detatches it's head or upper body and goes out to feed. Some fly by flapping its ears. I find it one of the weirdest vampires legends out there.

I had "Mystics in Bali" on my watchlist, so I put this episode on hold until I finished it. What a fuckin' weird film, but yeah, the witch was amazing and I loved the Penanggalan stuff.
The actor in Mystic's in Bali isn't Filipino he's Balinese (an Indonesian island) hence Mystics in Bali. It was filmed in Java (another Indonesian island) rather than Bali though as Hindu locals were superstitious and didn't allow the black magic rituals scenes to be performed there. Such a classic genuinely gold film
@@frankmerker630 and that he had been holding the gun in one hand even though all his fingerprints on it were from his other hand, or the fact that he wrote his suicide note in Courtney Love's handwriting, or any number of other things, but he was clearly a very troubled and unpredictable individual.
Fun fact!: the floating head with organs hanging down is totally nuts... but actually is a traditional image in some Asian cultures of a type of spirit called a "Krasue". So to them I would imagine it was as recognizable as like a werewolf or something to us. A lot of the weirdness in it seems like it comes from cultural expectation. I wonder if there are any movies that seem super weird to other cultures that we just take for granted ........Yes I am fun at parties
7 years late to the party but something that was missed about Killer Workout is that Jimmy, the guy who was in love with Rhonda, is heavily implied to have been helping her with the killing and covering for her. He even says that he knows about the trouble and can help. Of course the movie does a terrible job expressing this but I believe that every kill we see that does not involve the infamous safety pin is actually Jimmy(the dumbbell, the people who are killed with a knife outside of the gym at night with the girl in the convertible, and the two people that died in the gym after his fight with the Private Eye) because of his statement to Rhonda, the knife that Deadly Prey finds in Jimmy's home, and the fact that Rhonda was busy with the Detective at her home while the Aerobics instructor was hanged. Since he did actually kill some of the people involved it would make sense that the police would mistake him for the real killer because there would be real physical evidence linking him to those crimes. Either way I love Killer Workout and have seen it many times but completely agree with the criticisms levied against it here because I've just done a better job explaining the film's plot than the actual film did. Also Nudity is magic.
It just reminds me of the new Robocop movie...after Murphy gets wrecked but before they make him Robocop, he’s a head and arm with some organs hanging.
When I first saw their review of "Killer Workout" and saw that giant safety pin, I thought to myself, "Oh, no, one of the giant diaper babies from 'Nothing But Trouble' is loose!"
I'm not saying Jay is as small as the show says, but I am saying that I had the same Jack-O-Lantern sweater as him when I was a baby and I can only put it on teddy bears now.
In regards to ‘Killer Workout’ and the safety pin as a murder weapon: I’m surprised that nobody brought up the movie ‘Student Bodies’ where the killer (despite having an arsenal of weapons to choose from) chooses a paper clip.
Seven years late but can we acknowledge Jack's drip in this ep? The color coordination is so distracting in the best way Edit: he even matches the box he reads from :') God bless
I saw that Kiss flick as a kid on late night TV and no one believed me after when I told people it existed, and that it featured Kiss with special effect powers! In fact since then, that's always been my image of them - with et/superhero-like powers or technology. So thanks for confirming what I saw with this! It's like seeing a UFO no one believes you saw and then someone else presents a photo after!
I think Killer Workout might actually be ripping off a Lucio Fulci movie, Murderrock. There are some crucial similarities: -killings take place in a gym -killer is a woman whose career was cut short by a tragic accident -killer uses a giant pin (for some reason) -gratuitous aerobics dance sequences It's just odd that this is the Fulci movie they'd rip off because it was one of his less well received ones.
_Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park_ was not, in fact, a feature film. Gene, Ace, Peter and Paul were always getting into wacky adventures in those days and all you had to do was follow them around and film them, which is what they did. Their battle with the robots at the haunted amusement park was just one week out of their real lives. The week before this they stopped the earth from revolving to thwart an alien invasion, and the week after, they challenged the band Styx to a rock-off for absolute control of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (Kiss won, of course). But they never filmed any of that stuff so we never got to see it. The '70s was kind of a wild time.
It is truly bizarre that they skipped over the funniest and weirdest scene in Mystics of Bali. The hilarious long tongue bush scene towards the beginning. Genius scene.
OH MY GOOOD!!! I actually read about Mystics of Bali in Cracked! I don't know which scene still cracks me up, the baby eating scene, the dull surprise from the men on the next scene, or the idea of the head attached with the guts. Thanks for the review, you hacks!
Hearing Mike say "Kiss are huge sellouts why didn't they buy the robots and have them perform?" puts a maniacal smile on my face now after the recent fiasco where they used unconvincing holograms of their younger selves as a "virtual kiss experience" replacing a real concert they were supposed to be doing that night and wasting the entire stadium's tickets.
Anthony Zerbe was our guest lecturer at Stella Adler acting conservatory. When they listed his credentials, they failed to mention the KISS film. Actually, the only thing they mentioned was Star Trek Insurrection.
to be fair that's the last thing you need to worry about before going on holiday to Bali. The main thing is drunk Australian bogans playing 'big bird little bird', a charming game where they vomit into each other's mouths . you'll be begging for a leyak
The Floating head with the guts hanging from it is an actual creature from Malaysian folklore called a Penanggalan. Just a fun fact! Great work as usual!
The witch does a great Rich Evans impression.

45:06 Actor clearly reading lines from a script held off screen for that entire over-the-shoulder shot. So good.
The actor in Mystic's in Bali isn't Filipino he's Balinese (an Indonesian island) hence Mystics in Bali. It was filmed in Java (another Indonesian island) rather than Bali though as Hindu locals were superstitious and didn't allow the black magic rituals scenes to be performed there. Such a classic genuinely gold film
Little known fact: Kurt Cobain killed himself while watching Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park.
"This one's starting to get depressed!"
De Profundis no no no. Courtney killed him BY making him watch Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park. He just couldn’t take it.
I did want to say how super sketchy it is that he had been dead for several days before being discovered
@De Profundis El duce?
@@frankmerker630 and that he had been holding the gun in one hand even though all his fingerprints on it were from his other hand, or the fact that he wrote his suicide note in Courtney Love's handwriting, or any number of other things, but he was clearly a very troubled and unpredictable individual.
24:52- 24:55
Young George Lucas can be seen about three rows of people from the front of the crowd.
Press F to pay respects
#RIPRichEvans
Fun fact!: the floating head with organs hanging down is totally nuts... but actually is a traditional image in some Asian cultures of a type of spirit called a "Krasue". So to them I would imagine it was as recognizable as like a werewolf or something to us. A lot of the weirdness in it seems like it comes from cultural expectation. I wonder if there are any movies that seem super weird to other cultures that we just take for granted ........Yes I am fun at parties
Something about the VHS turning all ghosty at the end when Rich touched it made me die laughing for some reason :P
7 years late to the party but something that was missed about Killer Workout is that Jimmy, the guy who was in love with Rhonda, is heavily implied to have been helping her with the killing and covering for her. He even says that he knows about the trouble and can help. Of course the movie does a terrible job expressing this but I believe that every kill we see that does not involve the infamous safety pin is actually Jimmy(the dumbbell, the people who are killed with a knife outside of the gym at night with the girl in the convertible, and the two people that died in the gym after his fight with the Private Eye) because of his statement to Rhonda, the knife that Deadly Prey finds in Jimmy's home, and the fact that Rhonda was busy with the Detective at her home while the Aerobics instructor was hanged. Since he did actually kill some of the people involved it would make sense that the police would mistake him for the real killer because there would be real physical evidence linking him to those crimes.
Either way I love Killer Workout and have seen it many times but completely agree with the criticisms levied against it here because I've just done a better job explaining the film's plot than the actual film did. Also Nudity is magic.
They kept calling that hot new girl Jay. Strange.
Susan sure does rock a LOT of hair product!
Maybe it's from watching all those 80s movies....

Yay, my life isn't meaningless for an hour! Awesome!
I have a one hour play date with my imaginary friends, Mike and Susan.
+Sam Dolan Skull fuck the pain away.
Get with the times maaan!
You mean you can forget that life is meaningless for an hour.
+Joe Jr. Nice
Rich is really looking good these days. I'm happy for him, he must have made some lifestyle changes because he's looking really healthy
Hardly matters now that he's dead.
the woman in Mystic of Bali whose head floats off is a penangalan, it's an actual folkloric monster from indonesia
It just reminds me of the new Robocop movie...after Murphy gets wrecked but before they make him Robocop, he’s a head and arm with some organs hanging.
"Penanggalan" is the Javanese word though. In Balinese, it's "Liak", which is exactly what they call it in the movie.
@@DistractedGlobeGuy did think penangalan was a function in java
27:34 And it was at that moment that Mike realized that he would be truly happy with the man he fell in love with so many years ago...
I was waiting for Rich to come in as a floating head with intestines.......so dissapointed.
"nudity is magic" I'm pretty sure i've seen that MLP fansite.
Oh God, is this the Kiss tv special they referenced on "Family Guy?" A part of me didn't want to believe it was real.
'Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park' is fake movie and 'Kiss Saves Santa' is real one.
When I first saw their review of "Killer Workout" and saw that giant safety pin, I thought to myself, "Oh, no, one of the giant diaper babies from 'Nothing But Trouble' is loose!"
nice use of comic sans at the end. what a slap in the face for rich evans, bless his soul.
when u just click in on youtube and this got out a min ago
YESSSS
+Withstand then later, you know what type of shitty film u have to watch ;)
The witch in the last movie sounds like Rich Evans
The idea that Rich's soul was still bound to this Earth only by his strong desire to destroy a terrible Kiss movie is amazing. Love you guys, yo.
I love you too
U gay
I think, even after all these years, that this is my favorite opening bit.
same. jack is unfortunately pretty funny
Wow, Jack didnt get NEARLY enough credit for "Keep Robo-Courtney-Love away from him!". I think that line works on multiple levels...
I'm not saying Jay is as small as the show says, but I am saying that I had the same Jack-O-Lantern sweater as him when I was a baby and I can only put it on teddy bears now.
Thanks Jay for reminding me to watch Phantom of the Paradise!!! RLM should do a Half In the Bag for it, that would be awesome.
Very kind of Jay to share the title of his My Little Pony doujinshi at 9:57
The scariest part of this whole episode is being reminded about Jack and Jill
In regards to ‘Killer Workout’ and the safety pin as a murder weapon:
I’m surprised that nobody brought up the movie ‘Student Bodies’ where the killer (despite having an arsenal of weapons to choose from) chooses a paper clip.
Seven years late but can we acknowledge Jack's drip in this ep? The color coordination is so distracting in the best way
Edit: he even matches the box he reads from :') God bless
I saw that Kiss flick as a kid on late night TV and no one believed me after when I told people it existed, and that it featured Kiss with special effect powers! In fact since then, that's always been my image of them - with et/superhero-like powers or technology. So thanks for confirming what I saw with this! It's like seeing a UFO no one believes you saw and then someone else presents a photo after!
I NEED Killer Workout's soundtrack after watching this episode. Pure 80's awesomeness!
I like how the RLM gang goes all out with the holiday decorations around Halloween and Christmas.
Wow, Rich's ghost power was so strong, he turned the VHS tapes into ghosts too!
I feel personally attacked every time they make fun of Jay's height because I'm the exact same size as him
I think Killer Workout might actually be ripping off a Lucio Fulci movie, Murderrock. There are some crucial similarities:
-killings take place in a gym
-killer is a woman whose career was cut short by a tragic accident
-killer uses a giant pin (for some reason)
-gratuitous aerobics dance sequences
It's just odd that this is the Fulci movie they'd rip off because it was one of his less well received ones.
_Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park_ was not, in fact, a feature film. Gene, Ace, Peter and Paul were always getting into wacky adventures in those days and all you had to do was follow them around and film them, which is what they did. Their battle with the robots at the haunted amusement park was just one week out of their real lives. The week before this they stopped the earth from revolving to thwart an alien invasion, and the week after, they challenged the band Styx to a rock-off for absolute control of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (Kiss won, of course). But they never filmed any of that stuff so we never got to see it. The '70s was kind of a wild time.
I now understand Jay’s “ Billy Barty in UHF” reference.
Anthony Zerbe is a legend. He was the head mutant in Omega Man, and dozens of other supporting roles in classic movies and TV.
Not the ending I expected. I thought Jay would get his uncle's inheritance of $60 which he owes to the other guys.
I love that Rich’s trigger phrase is “ShowBizz Pizza Bear”
It is truly bizarre that they skipped over the funniest and weirdest scene in Mystics of Bali. The hilarious long tongue bush scene towards the beginning. Genius scene.
We need a 10 hour video of the workout montages.
“...scheduled for a sellout concert...”
what a missed opportunity
OH MY GOOOD!!! I actually read about Mystics of Bali in Cracked! I don't know which scene still cracks me up, the baby eating scene, the dull surprise from the men on the next scene, or the idea of the head attached with the guts. Thanks for the review, you hacks!
Love how the movie library is adorned with multiple copies of Jack and Jill for Halloween
That Toxic Avenger death is one of the greatest effects in cinema history - unreal
Hearing Mike say "Kiss are huge sellouts why didn't they buy the robots and have them perform?" puts a maniacal smile on my face now after the recent fiasco where they used unconvincing holograms of their younger selves as a "virtual kiss experience" replacing a real concert they were supposed to be doing that night and wasting the entire stadium's tickets.
Anthony Zerbe was our guest lecturer at Stella Adler acting conservatory. When they listed his credentials, they failed to mention the KISS film. Actually, the only thing they mentioned was Star Trek Insurrection.
The Balinese floating head vampire is totally a thing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leyak
to be fair that's the last thing you need to worry about before going on holiday to Bali. The main thing is drunk Australian bogans playing 'big bird little bird', a charming game where they vomit into each other's mouths .
you'll be begging for a leyak
If I may be permitted some alpha-level nerdery, a similar monster also appears in the original edition of the AD&D _Fiend Folio_ book.
The cheesy keyboard cover of Rock N Roll All Night was pure gold!
The Floating head with the guts hanging from it is an actual creature from Malaysian folklore called a Penanggalan. Just a fun fact! Great work as usual!
I buy shirts at Target too, Mike.
I have a buddy who looks so much like Mike it's ridiculous. Everytime I watch one of these I get a bit nostalgic.
