The Best of Rifftrax - Night Of The Lepus

[@rachelalicea500]

Sheriff: "Doctor, what have we got here, vampires?" Doctor: "Possibly." WHAT???

[@wadecarmen7501]

Did this debut on TV or at theaters? I remember when it came out but that's it. It was a long time ago.

[@GillianMStarlight]

I once saw this with a group, and the scene where the sheriff goes to a drive-in theater floored all of us. It's one of the most unintentionally funny scenes I've ever seen.

A whole army of Fudds....having their shotguns explode in their faces because those cheeky rabbits stick their fingers in the barrels.

I'm surprised nobody ever said "What's up, Doc!" But I suppose the Albuquerque reference will do. =)

Lepus is also the genus comprised of hares and jackrabbits.

[@MrBlueSkyof1607]

@@notyou8716 Gunpoint? No, that's too extreme. Hired him without any second thoughts? Possible, it would make sense. Kelly got drunk and accidentally auditioned for a movie with killer bunnies that make the one from Monty Python and the Holy Grail unironically more intimidating.

[@demonkingbadger6689]

They roped Shatner into that spider movie. Now we only need to find a Nimoy in a killer chipmunk movie.

[@Decetop]

The thing about this is there's a ton of good reasons not to shoot a rifle in a cave. Where they go wrong is "the whole place can come down", like it's a damn stick of dynamite.

[@chimpinaneckbrace]

99% of this movie's budget was spent on expendable rabbits and red tempera paint.

[@jeremyusreevu237]

And that 1% was spent on marijuana.

[@jameswoodard4304]

I'm pretty sure the origin story for this movie's existence was a drunken/high screenwriter who had one of those weird shower-thoughts in which he realized "Hey, 'lepus' and 'lupus' sound vary similar, but rabbits are small and cute while wolves are...Hey! Wait a minute!" And while such strokes of stupidity occasionally strike us all, our hero deided to take it to his actual professional colleagues who also happened to by drunk and/or high.

[@ericandy88]

I think she asked herself the same thing, saying in an interview, "I've forgotten as much as I could about that picture." At least she was a victim in Psycho, one of the greatest films of all time made by the greatest director of suspense thrillers of all time. Better to be a victim in a Hitchcock movie than a piece of crap like this.
