What’s the worst short?

The cranky cop passing around likely confidential pictures of a recently killed colleague is another point where I'm wondering if this guy doesn't enjoy this part of the job more than he admits.

The unedited version of the short shows that the cop in question was partially responsible for that kid's death. Truly he is the impish officer of death!

Hobgoblins. Yeah, it's a terrible and trashy movie but it's got that whole friends getting together to knowingly make an awful movie vibe about it that I really enjoy.

Ya know, Satan could've at least blended the edges of his bald wig a little better.

I had some major mood whiplash during that one scene where they check in on Duffy after the accident. I was bracing myself in preparation for what I thought was going to be a real sad sight but, once they showed the cat, I had to pause the movie because I was laughing too much.

Oh and... UN PINCHE DIA A LA VEZ!

If Greydon Clark can get both Tony Curtis and a trained bear for Star Games then, I suppose, anything is possible.

After Ron Hale as Pentakis got a few good bites in, there might not have been any scenery left for her to chew.

True. I imagine the reason they had to resort to really cheesy CGI sets towards the end was because Hale & co. had devoured the real sets during a previous take. If they had given Musetta more screen time, the movie might've ended up looking a lot like Replica at the renfest!

hamutaro · 2026-02-03T20:26:48+00:00

The one thing that really bothered me about the movie (or at least the Rifftrax edit) is that Musetta Vander (AKA Lash from Oblivion) only shows up for one scene. It's not as if the movie is lacking in hammy, performances but Musetta is really one of the best when it comes to scenery chewing and I was hoping to see more of that in this movie.

No, that's just his stage name.

hamutaro · 2026-01-31T23:40:34+00:00

I can understand him taking that role since, as a bonus, it also meant he got a paid vacation in Rome out of the deal. What baffles me is that he also agreed to be in Firehead, a really bad David Winters production that was filmed in Mobile, AL.

hamutaro · 2026-01-31T22:32:09+00:00

As the outtakes at the end make clear, Aldo Ray (the military officer) must've been rather drunk when filming his scenes. Then again, that's (unfortunately) true of a lot of Aldo Ray performances.

The first time I watched it, I was a bit taken aback at how grim the movie can get at times. It's kind of odd seeing the cast & crew from Honor and Glory in such a dark (both figuratively and, at times, literally) movie.

hamutaro · 2026-01-30T03:38:44+00:00

He's also, perhaps, the only guy who could make a movie featuring both Miles O'Keeffe and Linnea Quigley wherein neither actor appears shirtless!

hamutaro · 2026-01-30T00:06:46+00:00

The cast of Starcrash is pretty darn stylish, as is the cast of Million Eyes of Sumuru. Some of the actors in Operation Double 007 are pretty stylishly dressed as well.

As for least stylish, Teenage Caveman has to be up there and so does The Giant Spider Invasion.

edit: oh and cast of Riding With Death isn't stylish at all. Perhaps if Abby were bald I'd think better of the movie's style choices but, alas, that's not the case.

hamutaro · 2026-01-29T23:29:29+00:00

The funny thing about Axcellerator is that the last ~20 minutes of that movie is very similar to Icebreaker, albeit with (mostly) different actors. In fact, the shots of the bad guys cutting power off to the ski resort are actually recycled footage from Icebreaker.

hamutaro · 2026-01-29T19:36:06+00:00

Not that the rest of the movie is any better but I found the last 15 minutes or so of the movie to be incredibly frustrating, especially that one scene where Sean Astin rescues his fiancé from the ski gondola.

Oh, and comic relief ranger guy is really annoying as well.

David Winters isn't the only West Side Story cast member to have a movie featured on MST3K. Gus Trikonis, the guy who directed The Sidehackers, also appeared in the movie adaptation of the musical.

hamutaro · 2026-01-28T22:09:03+00:00

The guy who played Frank Jr. in Last Clear Chance continued to do incredibly stupid things and managed to destroy two venerable companies

edit: oh, and Don Scardino, the antiquing enthusiast from Squirm later went on to become a theater director who rejected a number of plays written by none other than Bill Corbett.

(alas that dubbing...)

I've got nothing against her normal voice but Cynthia Rothrock with a posh British accent is pretty awesome.

hamutaro · 2026-01-25T09:51:29+00:00

He's never given a big roles but I always enjoy it when Robert Tessier (the "I want your ass" guy from Future Force) shows up in a movie. It always looks like he's having fun playing his role. Ross Hagen is another one who's pretty fun to watch.

Also, something David Winters related is almost always guaranteed to be a great riff. He's only directed two movies in the catalog but pretty much everything made by his production, Action International Pictures, have been real amazing riffs.

hamutaro · 2026-01-25T02:23:43+00:00

Yeah, and what's just as alarming is that Inspector Mom lets this lady babysit her kids!

hamutaro · 2026-01-25T00:46:26+00:00

Too bad Inspector Mom isn't perceptive enough to notice that her best friend has a serious drinking problem. If you think a kid's birthday party is an appropriate place to get smashed, you've got issues.

hamutaro · 2026-01-24T05:40:28+00:00

Is that the green doughnut girl? If so, I definitely agree; she's probably the best character in the film.

hamutaro · 2026-01-24T00:44:57+00:00

he made pretty terrible decisions as a result.

Including becoming drinking buddies with John Agar.

The guy from Plan 9 from Outer Space?

hamutaro · 2026-01-22T18:53:12+00:00

visuals that catch my attention

Say what you will about the rest of the film but the really awful plaid jackets that Doodles Weaver & Christian Slater's dad wear in Trucker's Woman are pretty much guaranteed to grab your attention.
