Rifftrax vs Dr Moreau

[@WillieManga]

I come from the future, and this movie will be heralded as less horrific than Cats the movie.

[@rachelalicea500]

I'll never forget the audience reaction when Kilmer finished his Brando imitation and then shook out the pillows from under his shirt. Like we didn't already know we were watching the movie from hell.

[@danchallis805]

I saw it in the theater too and it was a very strange experience. I was in high school, stoned out of my mind and I'd never heard of the book and knew nothing about the movie. Some friend just picked it out (if I recall he was a big Kilmer fan) and I walked blindly into this bizarre film.

[@artfan101]

this was one of the most unintentionally terrifying movies ever made.

[@kevinpogue7294]

This is just the behind the scenes footage of the Brando household. The Dr. Moreau movie hasn't started yet.

[@CarlotaZimmerman]

Kevin Pogue Just snorted out loud, like a damn racehorse reading this, thank you!

"He grew a vestigial person." Easily one of my favorite riffs. It was funny, had a great visual and I learned a new word.

Gad, yes. What a mess that was.

1:06 "Meanwhile, Uncle Captain sails the Lincoln Lina in search of the dreaded three headed threep!" "The hell...?" "Beanie and Cecil!" "You are a *hundred thousand* years old, aren't you?!" That one fucking killed me. And I *want* to say it was because I grew up watching that show... which is part of it, but the real humor comes from that show being older than I am.

[@dattakafkaodell6698]

excellent documentary called "lost souls" which give the background to this nightmare movie. At one point Brando would not come out of his trailer before kilmer and kilmer would not come out of his trailer before brando. Richard Stanley was hired to do an $8 million dollar film and they brought in brando and kilmer and it went to $40million and Stanley was over this head.

[@rachelalicea500]

They brought in John Frankenheimer to try and fix the mes and apparently he hated Kilmer too. Total mess.

[@wpl955g9]

Rachel Alicea “Even if I was directing a film called The Life of Val Kilmer," Frankenheimer was reported to have said, "I wouldn’t have that prick in it."

[@rachelalicea500]

Ha! Nice one - thanks for sharing!

[@vanyadolly]

You left out the best part which was Richard Stanley hiding out in the jungle for weeks and then sneaking back onto set disguised as one of the creatures.

[@chrislondo2683]

I saw that documentary on Tubi just a couple nights ago.

[@fantastopotomus]

At 11:40 you can see David Thewlis trying sooooo hard not to laugh! He way beyond 'over it' at this point.

[@drinndalynn]

"Oh, look at the time."

I think this whole movie was an alternate ending to Apocalypse Now - with extra Malaria and Nightmares.

I believe you mean "Anakin Skywalker". *adjusts nerd glasses

[@graciegj63]

Ice bucket hat? I thought that looked more like a giant thimble.

[@dragonkeeper19600]

I think it really is an ice bucket. Marlon Brando put it on in between takes and refused to take it off.

[@rachelalicea500]

Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer did a LOT of things and refused to cooperate.

[@whoohaaXL]

There was a commentary on this movie that said something about a thimble....anyone remember where or what it was?

Brando in his clown white makeup at the beginning has a vaguely Palpatine-esque look

[@victorhernandez8723]

Now that you mention that, I wonder if Brando was one of the choices to play the Emperor in Return of the Jedi.

[@laurallewien2165]

Glad rifftrax did this one. Me and my friends may have made a few mst3k-like comments while watching this one night, back in the day. Mini-Me Brando was our favorite character, for some long forgotten reason.

Marlon Brando in pancake makeup is my spirit animal.

We got 30 more…best get snappin’. Kevin is the best.

I actually quite like this movie. It has this weird, unsettling energy like you can feel all the madness behind the screen coming through. David Thewlis did a perfect job reflecting what I went through the first time I saw this crazy, brilliant hot mess.

[@dadahyena]

Let's assume that Bill Corbett actually WAS in the studio for this riff but was just stunned into silence throughout the whole thing (and who can blame him?).

This movie is batshit crazy

[@Mr22thou]

That's why I like it. Brando & Kilmer are out of their minds.

[@dejaporter7338]

You,should read the book

[@mollymcdade4031]

Didn't Brando decide Moreau was trying to turn himself into a dolphin?

[@rachelalicea500]

Are we sure he wasn't going for something larger... orca, maybe?

[@OpenMawProductions]

He wanted to shut down filming to completely rewrite the script so that the end would have him reveal the hole in his head.

[@rachelalicea500]

@@OpenMawProductions I'm reasonably sure that this movie documents the final loss of sanity for both Brando and Kilmer.

[@Optimusprimerib36]

It's my understanding he was going for a sea cow/manatee/dugong.

[@iggy9955]

I watched that movie as a young man, 15-17 years old, and that was in the 70s. But neither Kilmer nor Brando played, I'm sure of that. Then Kilmer must have been my age or younger. I believe younger. Is this a parody or a remake of an old movie. Yes it does. 1977 Burt Lancester & Michael York. Which is a copy of the 1932 film "Island of Lost Souls" all more or less according to the book of H.G. Welles from 1896.

[@loganbabcock6179]

As H.G. Wells spins in his grave, we get to watch rifftrax rip apart the utter filth that is this movie. You gotta feel bad for Brando. He thought he was going to be doing Mr. Wells justice, when, in fact, the director took a dump and said "I should make a movie based on a book, only not at all based on the book." And proceeded to push this big log out of his ass and thought he had the right to call it "The Island of Dr. Moreau".

[@vanyadolly]

Brando had a lot more to do with the bad choices in this movie than any of the directors did.

[@2wingo]

In his defense, he was dealing with the death of his daughter at the time. Can you blame him for going to pieces for a while?
