RiffTrax: Star Games (Full Movie)

[@robertwalker-smith2739]

Between the atrocious acting, the nonsensical plot that has absolutely zero thought put into it other than being derivative as fuck, and being yet another movie about wandering through the woods, yeah... this was a rough watch. It kinda grew on me though. One of those that goes down easier the second time.

Welp, I've got some questions after watching this movie: Why did the prince leave the ship when he got to earth in the first place? Why was Brian so clumsy with his game console when the bear showed up? Why does this alien civilization have weapons that require passwords? Why did the evil alien guy attack the planet only to teleport away and go after the prince? Why not send his forces to the planet as a diversion while he goes after the prince himself? Why even send the prince away at all? Wouldn't he be safer on his home world? Y'know, the one with the SPACE SHIELD?!?!???!? What is the planet the prince is from even called? I can't understand what they say every time its name is mentioned. Why does Happy take the form of a nightmare clown? Who was editing the audio for this movie? Why does the king go to the Council of Ancients or whatever while his planet is being attacked? Why do the Ancients look like pyramids? Who was editing the special effects for this movie? Why did the prince just not teleport away in the spaceship once he was inside it? Could they seriously not come up with a more creative or cooler sounding name for the power they wield than 'The Gift'? Why is there seemingly only one ranger in this park? Why does Brian not really seem to care about the fact he has diabetes at the beginning? How is it possible that Star Crash is a higher quality movie than this? Why disable the shields on the ship? Why even leave it when the defense system seems to be doing a good job of repelling the sphere's attack? Why does the villain utilize spheres to attack? Why not just send them out to scout the forest and then attempt to either grab the boys or pinpoint their location? Does the villain have any advisors or assistants? Are the robots seriously all he has in terms of his forces? and a What's with the alien pyramids that work arbitrarily? Why wasn't the prince's translator already activated when he came to earth? Why was no one suspicious of the park ranger's tone turning all sinister? Why is everyone in this movie either stupid or oblivious? Who wrote this script? Who approved it? Why is the villain considered such a threat when he couldn't attack the planet because of the shield and when he's easily defeated by a teenager's hypodermic needle? Why does no one ask about the prince's strange clothing? Who seriously looked at these kids acting and said, 'THIS IS PERFECT!!!!!!'? How did they get Daran Norris for this movie? Who was editing this movie? How do the boys develop a telepathic bond with each other? Why doesn't the prince kick the villain in the knees and run away? Why doesn't the villain just teleport away with the prince the second they're in the beam? Why doesn't the villain notice Brian showing Kirk the needle? What's with the pyramids in the area where the villain teleports away with the prince? Who looked at the final product and said, 'YES!!!! THIS IS PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!'? How does the king have the ability to just instantly cure Brian's diabetes? Why did the prince go to get Brian at the end of the movie? What possible use could he have in whatever's happening? Where does the search party go? And, finally... WHY IS JOTARO KUJO PART OF THE SEARCH PARTY??!?!???!

wow. where has this "movie" been all my life

[@vengeance1701]

"The other planets call it.... the one with about twenty years left." Ouch.

[@asurlybarber3620]

Battle Beyond The Stars was the "we have Star Wars at home" movie. This is Star Wars at the homeless shelter.

"It's those damn video games you let him play all the time! He lives in a fantasy world!" "Specifically Hyrule, it's gentrifying and rents are going through the roof!"

[@nohbuddy1]

This movie is insane. I lost it when the clown showed up

[@chibikim77]

This is better than Star Track. Also what did Greydon Clark have on Tony Curtis to force him in this?

[@fromvault801]

The sad part is I recognize the clown AI as Darren Norris aka Cosmo from Fairy Odd Parents. Sadder is I also recognized him in the Hobgoblins MST3K riff

[@redvintner1094]

God bless him, he’s clearly doing his best here but WOOF

[@StarShipGray]

I’m surprised Mike, Kevin and Bill never made a joke about the fact that Laura (the mom) was the teacher in Angels Revenge. She was also Greydon Clark’s wife. Sadly she died of cancer almost 20 years ago.

[@hammondOT]

She's hot.

Me: Looks like a crap movie, you sure I should spend 100 minutes of my life watching? RiffTrax: Or courzsh. Don't you truzsht ush?

[@TF2Fan101]

We can sell you sol pals for a fifty percent discount!

[@henryhammond7393]

Wait.. the clown… that’s Daran Norris. Who’d have thought they’d find an even more embarrassing thing from his early career than Hobgoblins.

[@francisknepper5695]

They have a buttload of spaceships, but "Interplanetary travel is forbidden!" Then, back to the spaceships...

[@vriderch1360]

I've watched this riff multiple times, and only because I looked up the movie on Google, did I realize that the actor for the stupid clown is Daran Norris, one of my favorite voice actors.

[@jpl3k]

Literal LOL @1:27:10 - "'I'll never forget you." "Me neither." "Both sounded like threats."

[@srbrant5391]

“And then there’s Poopiter and Penus, with a U…” I lost it there.

[@Tustin2121]

So... we’re not gonna explain or even acknowledge the random pause in the climax while the two kids literally have a mental argument with each other using hitherto unmentioned telepathy abilities??? No?? How about the pause in the climax while the usually seconds-long teleportation took five freaking minutes of runtime?? No?? In fact, this whole climax was just made of a series of pauses, what the heck?!

Don't question THE GIFT.

The opening of the movie is confusing enough.

I seen the best of clip, very funny! I never noticed how mafia sounding Toni Curtis was until Riffed!

[@taags]

A movie made with a 5 dollar budget. You dont see that anymore.

[@daveryder9617]

Well, it did have a 100 dollar budget, but the other 95 bucks went to Tony Curtis.

[@theboombody]

Feeders. 1996 I believe.

I took a screenshot of that scene, printed it out and framed it in hopes one day someone will see it and be very confused. 😂

It's weird seeing games on the screen with the wrong sound effects - if they can show the game, why not have the sound effects?

[@Virjunior01]

They've never done it right, ever. Aside from that, the audio was probably dogshit

[@lnk2158]

The whole film sounds ADR. Foley guy likely did just the bare minimum.

[@onionhat745]

Movies tend to replace video game soundtracks with nothing but beeps from Donkey Kong, no matter how recent the game.

[@Firguy_the_Foot_Fetishist]

@@Virjunior01 There's an episode of Spaced where Simon Pegg's character plays Resident Evil 2 for real. In fact, the actor played it for real and got sidetracked by it until he beat Scenario A.
