RiffTrax w Mike Nelson - Raiders of the Lost Ark

[fernandez9090]

why is it in every movie , when someone shoots someone behind the wheel , their foot slams the accelerator and crash ????

[RealityMonitor]

At about 1:00 to 1:02 - you can see the telephone pole gizmo they shot out of the bottom of the truck to make it fall over. It's a giant POLE sticking out of the bottom of the truck!

[TheUndertakerfan2002]

The only part I liked was that when the bad guys open the Ark and all that weird stuff happening and then the bad guys got melted and when that happened the lid went on the Ark and I just sat there going "Whoa, That was cool!"

[kiren77]

0:54 truck is almost hitting the building in front of it

whereas at 1:17 the truck's in middle of nowhere

[harmonyXsuzukaze]

Cars don't blow so suddenly.

Mythbusters did this one!

Damn you spielburg and you stupid un-needed explosions!

[illuzion30]

lol @ :44

[Usul573]

Wait, they are in an alleyway, and then at the end it explodes in a more open area?

[Yabbablabba]

Cinematic Titanic

[Usul573]

Heh, that guy shoots like a stormtrooper

[roninredshade]

I agree, "I don't give a damn who shot first!" best riff.

[ForceMaximus84]

Ditto. I mean, I'm a die-hard Star Wars fan, but seriously, who gives a shit?

[roninredshade]

I too am a Star Wars fan. I am reminded of the classic Triumph the Insult Comic Dog visiting the Episode II line, where he asked the trivia question, "What substance was Han Solo frozen in?"

When the crowd shouts "Carbonite!" His reply, "I'm sorry that's wrong. The real answer is 'Who gives a sh*t?'"

Anything that helps me not take my fandom soo serious, I dig. MSK3K, Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic help me with that.

[CincinnatusSPQR]

00:54 Is the walkie talkie riff a reference to the south park episode where Spielberg digitaly replaces all the guns in his movies with walkie talkies? Cause if it is its a fucking awesome reference!

[Knightmessenger]

Spielberg actually did that for ET. So the reference here and the South Park episode are referring to the same thing.

Thankfully, the original version was also included but that dvd is now out of print.

[catfacecathead]

@CincinnatusSPQR I would think this, like the South Park episode, references the actual event of Spielberg digitally replacing the guns in ET with walkie talkies for the DVD release.

[TheT4xid3rmist]

The bodies traveled further in the explosion than in the getaway!

[punkrockkid1995]

"i don't give a damn who shot first"

priceless

[BTLemming]

What WalMart needs on Black Friday are guys in turbans with machine guns at the door. "Welcome to WalMart!"

[CraterCreator]

Wow, they called that Walmart thing.

[shamelesshussy]

Sadly prescient comment ~ 0:30

[mattwarren85]

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull riff coming soon!!!

[xFinnishPridex]

mike nelson era mst3k was awesome

[8488463p0wnd]

I should watch these with cut outs of the mst3k guys at the bottom of my screen.

[riffnotes]

Bill: "Oh great, fanboys ... look, I've told you, I don't give a damn who shot first!"

Bill is referring to Star Wars fanboys who argue about the scene in Episode IV, when Harrison Ford's character Han Solo shoots the bounty hunter named Greedo in the Mos Eisley Cantina.

[abaraiRenji3]

well the argument is about how Lucas changed the scene to make Han look like more heroic.

[FirstTsurugi06]

It takes knowing the debate to realize it was the best joke in this video.

[abaraiRenji3]

i dunno i like the black Friday jokes better.

[FirstTsurugi06]

Fair enough. That was my other favorite of this video. They've made jokesof it on other movies too.

[riffnotes]

Bill: "She requests assistance using the Fay Wray technique."

Fay Wray was the actress who played Ann Darrow in the 1933 movie King Kong, and spent most of her on-screen time screaming her head off.

[alebak]

"SHE WAS HOLDING THE ROOM KEY."

[PerryPlanet]

"Oh great, fan boys. Look, I've told you, I don't give a damn who shot first!"

[TheSpriteMonster]

hahaha the Star Wars fanboys XD

[rafanavega]

hahaha! NOW I got it! LOL

[Zebonka]

Damn, that walkie-talkie line made me blow out my o-ring

Top notch

[MuppetMan246]

Yeah, he wished it was a walkie-talkie! LMAO

:3

[Drez26]

I don't give a damn who shot first lol

[BoglinPictures]

Actually, there are two different stories as to who shot first. In the original film, Han shoots Greedo first, but in the remastered version, Greedo fires a fraction of a second before Han, and misses, despite being only three feet away. Ineptitude or what?

[reddyredd]

Weaksauce. Lucas made Greedo look like every random goon in every bad B-Movie: Sir, would you be so kind as to kill me? Here, I'll shoot the wall next to you as an incentive."

Groan

[rafanavega]

Han was just too good at CGI-laser-dodgiing

[Unclephart]

My favorite riff comes during the chase scene with that one extremely persistent German:

"Indiana Jones, meet 'Dusseldorf Strauss!'"

[InchonDM]

God, this is so good I can almost see the theater view there at the bottom of the screen! Top-notch work!

[Dinodain]

Bet those guys wished that gun was a walkie talkie don't ya?

best line ever

[ilduce565]

LOL wow, that was an homeage to southpark, i love this new thing....but i miss the bots

[PizzaHurl]

Actually, it's a reference to the 2003 version of E.T.

[ilduce565]

damnit.....all my southparkreference's are getting torn apart....

[Unclephart]

Because 90% of South Park jokes are a reference to something else. That's better than Family Guy's 100 percentile, but still quite a lot.

[ilduce565]

yeah....but sigh....

[Tendoking]

"I don't give a damn who shot first."  That was classic!

[regularguy5mb]

Little known fact:

Those diapers where actually George Lucas'. He got tired of getting out of chair every time he had to poop.

For Indy 4, expect officially licensed Lucas diapers and authentic Lucas-poo!

Great for parties. Impress your friends.

[ByrdBryans]

Fascinating. What I wanna know is if people really floor the gas after they get shot.

I've seen it happen in so many movies but it just doesn't feel right somehow.

[regularguy5mb]

I think it would be possible, but unlikely. More often the foot would just slip off the gas pedal. The person's foot would have to be directly in the middle of the pedal, and the body would have to slump forward in just the right way.

[GrixieKong]

What I want to know is why the car suddenly exploded after tipping over and falling rather gently onto its side.

[GoonieWarrior]

Because it was full of explosives, duh!

[iuploadyouwatch]

did u not see the heavy explosives sitting in the back?

[fernandez9090]

@ByrdBryans well which film it happen , but maybe it a mustle spazem

[Iceprince1989]

Notice the south park reference near the end?

"you wish this gun was a walkie talkie"

[jsimpson1068787]

That wasn't from south park. In the special edition of ET, for some reason Steven Spielberg replaced the cops' guns digitally with walkie talkies.

South Park was probably making fun of that.

[filmguy91]

u guys made my day!

[travj1978]

That market is still more civil than a Wal-Mart on Black Friday!

[sspdirect02]

How dare you make fun of "Raiders of the Lost Ark!"

[brtshstel]

hey now, Raiders may be an awesome movie, but laughter at even the good movies is good for the soul.

[BadXAsh]

LOVE IT!! My all time favorite movie combined with the only guys that can make me bust out laughin on TV (Back when they were on tv mind you)

[Ardjet]

Genius as usual

[GodofRoads]

Oh great Fanboys. Look I told you before I don't care who shot first!

CLASSIC!

[TK42100]

Agreed. That was hilarious.

[conmanxxx]

"I told you, I don't give a damn who shot first." :^)

[woodgatejack]

Is nothing sacred?!

No, thank god!

[wheresra]

XD OMFG!

[889654]

"Diapers, diapers, diapers, what are these kids eating. Coming through, clean up the mess I made and try Huggies."

"Can they promise us that Ford will not be filmed this close-up or sweaty for Part 4?"

[EspanolBot]

Yay!
