Fun fact: The carnival scenes were filmed at the Los Angeles County Fair on the QT, as they didn't have permits to film. So for a couple of days in the early 1990s fairgoers were treated to the spectacle of Joe Estevez wandering, bellowing and pointing at random places like a schizophrenic. Another fun fact: The voice of Rollergator is none other than writer/producer/director/sadist Donald L. Jackson. If you're asking for his GPS coordinates for triangulation, I'm sorry to inform you that he died in 2003, and I won't be party to grave desecration. A final, sobering fact: According to IMDB, Joe Estevez has had 306 movie appearances. He may just be a sausage maker, but he's made a lot of sausage. A final, final fact (serious): According to IMDB Sandra Shuker's only other film credit was as a sound assistant on Night Eyes 4: Fatal Passion (1996). If the movie didn't kill you, this factoid might as well.

[@matthewskelly5622]

I'm obssessed with Jackson since seeing Roller Blade. Great factoid about the fair. Jackson never paid for a permit or location if he could help it, bless his heart.

[@alexdionisos]

I found out on Facebook that according to Scott Shaw, Donald Jackson hated the final product so much he ended up destroying the baby gator puppet over it

Crow(Bill I mean) actually said somewhere, that this specific movie, was without doubt the worst one they've ever done.

The puppet appearing on screen for the first time might actually rival El Santo’s debut in sheer “You cannot POSSIBLY be serious” factor

I finally get to see the legendary Rollergator. It lives down to the hype. Was not expecting the non-stop guitar drowning out so much dialog. Thank heaven for small mercies.

[@eraserhd79]

Kevin's Chi Chi's (celebration of food) riff is why I love these guys. All kinds of crazy references, even long defunct restaurant chains. Rifftrax is king!

[@ErinStilwell]

At first I thought this was simply the worst movie I'd ever seen, but now I understand the message Rollergator has been trying to teach me. Life is absurd. No meaning can be derived from a world that can give us Rollergator. Nothing can hurt me now that I have seen and known Rollergator. I am enlightened now. Thank you, Rollergator!

Conrad Brooks, after being cast: "Well, it can't be worse than Plan 9, right? Right?"

[@mattjamison484]

I made it 40 minutes in, but when the "ninja" demonstrated what she was going to do instead of actually doing it, I had to give up. This movie was for sure used to launder drug money or made to collect insurance money.

[@TorinR90]

That and/or the director trying to hit on the female lead. Maybe. Used to know a local indie film team (they made horror and zombie "movies") and it was all just an elaborate plot of the director/team lead to try and hook up with the actresses. The director was a short but really scrawny guy named Steve, never liked him, but the one man team of makeup/effects/editing was a really cool guy

When they said it was bad, I was like, how bad can it be? After Birdemic & Manos? Then you see it, and you can't believe how bad it is.

[@paxhumana2015]

Plan 9 from Outer Space and The Room are infinitely worse than this movie, trust me.

[@ChibiPanda8888]

@@paxhumana2015 Plan 9 was actually better, in my opinion. It was funny, at least. This movie is just painful. I've never seen The Room, so I can't judge on that one.

[@theboombody]

When you get this deep into bad movies, you find out there are way more than you ever imagined and you can't tell which is the worst anymore. Fun In Balloonland, Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny, and The Creeping Terror are more good picks.

[@MrRyan-wu4jx]

@@paxhumana2015 that’s just demonstratively not true. Plan 9 in particular is a blast to watch compared to this.

This makes Manos and Birdemic look like Marvel movies in comparison

This movie is a perfect example of how a halfway decent looking girl can keep you interested in watching a bad movie just enough to take your mind off the fact that your gorge is rising.
