Best of RiffTrax's Last Airbender

[1afrowolf]

woo...tini...

[Badgerthegreat]

You know, this movie sucked, but if I'd pay GOOD money to see Woody Allen redub it like he did "What's Up Tiger Lily?"

[larkey99]

Good Christ, I forgot how bad Rathebone's acting is. He's literally just like :| for the ENTIRE movie.

[hypermorphism]

This movie is remarkable in that it took an astoundingly well-written animation and adapted it into something more unwatchable than the most incompetent homemade Youtube video.

[Noyeha]

Why couldn't they have released this version in cinemas? Dear god why? #curseyoushalamalamalam

[TheKilohn]

WHO WANTS POPCORN

[DancinSheldon]

7:58 get's me every time LOL

[AshenPhoenix]

Why did it take a whole group of Earthbenders doing intricate dance moves to GENTLY MOVE A SINGLE ROCK THROUGH THE AIR?! lol

Sweet holy Houdini this film was a travesty. My brother and I saw it opening week and all we could talk about afterwards was everything that was wrong with it.

[bossfight1]

There IS sorcery in this world! They made this movie watchable!

[Feare909]

@bossfight1 WITCHCRAFT! WITCHCRAFT I TELL YOU!!

[KTH568]

Insta douchebag

[Jack0fH3arts]

Holy crap, is that Asif Mandvi from the Daily Show?

[TheHuntress144]

@Jack0fH3arts Yep

[Karitwilightmist]

This was brilliant. I almost cried laughing during the airplane safety bit.

[DanSkoglund91]

You missed the best part "awoooo,everybody cheer for derick, awooo"

[GrizDrummer25]

i like turtles

[animagrin]

Believe it! dattebayo D:

[bandgeek8986]

Sokka! His name is SOKKA! What is this "Soaka" nonsense?!

[mushroomartist]

9:53 - MANGEKYOU SHARINGAN: TSUKIYOMI

between believing in beliefs as much as they believe and people using elemental powers...

[Andkloras]

NOOO! "YOU BUTCHERED IT! Now we'll never get market prize for the sushi!"

[BionicleChicken66]

That's nice, I'm unconsious

[RBEO22]

"Sopa" became concerned?

[hippiechik95]

@ninjacal95 Surprisingly enough, a lot of movies like this end that way.

[banananer16]

Wait, in the little painting, Ozai even had the long freaky beard! But the actor? Nope, no beard at all.

I've decided that M. Night was totally deliberate in making this suck.

[coolkids3511]

7:58 The flight attendant bit was PRICELESS.

[BellaCullen325]

@coolkids3511 I know, I couldn't stop laughing.

[SoulfulBrutha5805]

I'm willing to forgive doing mass changes to the races...if they nail the characters.

But they did so many sweeping changes to the canon, they pretty much told the same story but with completely different characters that shared similar names and backstories.

[eastwing329]

By the way princess and Shamaylan, you forgot to dye her eyebrows and we can see her roots.

[TheRepublicOfUngeria]

You mean you didn't notice the giant penis at 6:53!?

[JustAmanda2U]

Hahahahaha....I don't suggest eating food while watching this...

[Zantillia]

As a fan of Avatar this movie was just terrible. If I think of it as having no relation what so ever to the show in plot, character development and how bending fucking works then its fine. =P

Bless you Rifftrax. <3

[NewGuy2534]

seventeen people are unconscious.

[CuteberryMUFFin]

0:00 to 11:38 is my favorite part!! this is hilarious and the movie was awful!!

[christimacc]

Insta-douchebag.

[ErinTheDon]

BELIEVE IT!

[marmatron8]

"that seems like a lot of effort, he should just buy a gun" HAHAHA! i laughed so hard!!

[sablize]

no rifftrax makes me laugh as hard as this one, omg.  maybe it's because the movie was so terrible to begin with.

[ninjacal95]

I still find it funny that the last scene sets it up for a sequel that will NEVER HAPPEN

[manfulify]

"He's pushing us back several feet! Flee in terror!"

[thunderpantz]

Shaymalan used to be a great director, then he took an arrow to the knee.

[MoloAngelSorcerer]

@thunderpantz And then he took that arrow, saw the cartoon, and become inspired, regardless of God's obvious warning.

[raphaelfaydean]

wait!!! wait!!! wait!!! another avatar movie!? ...at 9ish 0_0 so this movie was completely a spoof for the real dealt then, let's hope Shaymalan retires xD

[NewGuy2534]

Don't question the might of decorative windows. The last one I had killed 28 people.

[MegaTimmytommy]

Believe It!

So they watch Naruto then...

[MegaTimmytommy]

THey mix up Zhao and Iroh's names at one point. But fuck, this is so little like the actual show, we should be calling Katara 'Spongebob', Zuko 'Twilight Sparkle', and Aang 'Carrot Top' for all I care.

[MegaTimmytommy]

I really doubt these guys actually watched the series, yet they knew this was a crap movie and just went for it. They have inadvertently saved one of animation's proudest achievements.

[Aelflar]

I`m taking you in for not paying your water bill!

[Aelflar]

Princess..----->Loser...

lmao!

[Matrix29bear]

4:35 - The rarely seen rulers of alternate-reality Feudal Firebending Japan, ITALIANS.

And Prince Zuko? Last name is Patrelli. Zuko Patrelli of the honored Firebending Clan of the Sausage Making Patrellis.

[Anynom]

Still remember getting to the ending, thinking "at least he can't screw things up more"... and then seeing the total bad-ass Azula played by a chubby, buck-toothed ten-year old.

[Matrix29bear]

OF course in the animated series, Aang should be Tibetian, Katara & Sokka both Inuit, Zuko & Azula & Suki & Iroh all Japanese. Yet in the entire world of BILLIONS of humans, director M. Night ShamedDong, couldn't find anyone suitable, just these suckass children with all of the wrong racial characteristics and the inability to pronounce words correctly?

[thatsamoanguy]

@Matrix29bear

Race doesn't matter. 

[GomessQ]

@thatsamoanguy Depends on context. Race identity was obviously an important part of the original show, so to whitewash it in the movie shows a lack of respect for the source material. Not surprised the fans were annoyed.

[thatsamoanguy]

@GomessQ

Agreed, context is important. I just feel like in this particular case, even if he had cast the people this guy is talking about, it wouldn't have saved the movie, and the fans would still be mad. Because the movie, at its core, sucked hard.

[MoloAngelSorcerer]

@thatsamoanguy I kinda does in this. Well, not race persay, but more like people of their culture; this was a sizable flaw in the movie.

[thatsamoanguy]

@MoloAngelSorcerer

Granted. I'll give you that, it just seemed to me that Matrix29bear thought the inaccurrate racial casting was the biggest problem with the movie. What I meant by "race doesn't matter", was that even IF M. Night Shyamalamadingdong had casted the characters correctly in terms of race, the movie still would have sucked hard. There's just too much wrong wit hit.

But I agree with you, it is a flaw for sure. :)

[BalmungSama0]

@Matrix29bear Dude, that would mean he has to find FOUR asian actors (Aang, Zuko, Iroh and Xao) and TWO Native actors! That's obviously impossible!

[megamonmon]

@BalmungSama0 the sarcasm is strong in this one

[Matrix29bear]

What?!? There actually were Asian people in the movie and they seriously couldn't find some COMPETENT child actors with Asian characteristics (as per the animated series)? God damn you M. Night ShittyDirectCon. Nicola Pelz needs to be slapped for her crapass performance in this movie, in fact I think she needs to be slapped in the face daily by any random person meeting her for her performance here.

[tunedude19]

@Matrix29bear in exchange he alredy knew martial a rts and to be fair it was m kight who made them say onng and ovatar he likes the ltter O

[Anime2GW]

omg how did anyone turn this shit movie into something funny in stand alone respect

[theswedishdude1]

"come counsil of elders!" lol i loved that part!

[isaam088]

I love the Jawa jokes!!

[johnhamilton08]

"I'll just go over here now"

[Big12189]

WHO WANTS POPCORN?

Hahahaha! :D

[SammOz360]

U have no idea how happy I am that they made fun of this movie. This movie was a disgrace to the show in so many ways.

[MrAlcazar]

"Let us never speak of what just happend!" Like the whole movie?

[NewGuy2534]

@MrAlcazar Hopefully yes.

[Clockworthy]

06:32 - Did they shoot that in a gymnasium?

[PirateWong]

are the firebenders harnesing the fire? i thought they create the fire...fuck how did they get that wrong also

[Playfulpanthress]

@PirateWong No one really knows, but we like to blame M Night.

[metalmugen]

10:09 Terrible writing! what the fuck

[metalmugen]

6:53 PENIS HAIR!!!

[SStrongIsNeverWrong]

@metalmugen Lulz!

[commando1124]

Hoe...tinie...

[legoackbar]

1138

[SonicRyan1992]

lol at the "I like turtles!" bit, wonder if that was a reference to the Gamera episode?

[ErikaandKitties]

You, my beloved decorative window.



[bongchoof]

I was with them until they called the show lame.

[mermaidBeth]

We all... dropped our contacts.

[mermaidBeth]

And i mean nothing, I'm as gay as a hand bag full of rainbows!!!

[mermaidBeth]

Hey frozen Jawa!

[eastwing329]

@mermaidBeth oo...tini

[mermaidBeth]

*splashes with water*

Insta-duche bag

[ninjawraith17]

@ kagenohyou

When did Bill Corbet ever say, "Believe it!" I must know know.

[jasonw131]

I tried reading the water book. I found it a little dry.

[MrHEC381991]

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH CHEECH, MAN! lol

[plasm2]

10:52 i laughed so hard!!! because i'd do the same thing.

[neosoc]

That bit with the Earth tribe dudes doing that gay little kata was hilarious.

[barbaro267]

"My mom told me about these....But she never told me she loved me."

"princess.....loser"

"That's okay....I'm unconscious!"

"Hive fives? Guys? High fives? Screw YOU!"

"We all....dropped our contacts"

[WarriorElf54]

WELCOME TO NARNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HoshikoHyuga]

If ever there was a movie that deserved to be riffed more, I have yet to see it.

...Okay, maybe Twilight.

[nintendo1889x]

You know, I tried to read the water book, I found it a little dry

[Cpt50Caliber]

They did that whole dance routine and managed to control one piece of rock??

[thefaboloussob]

3:58 ♫ We are a part of the rhythm nation.

[thefaboloussob]

0:48 "Guitar! Do not hit that spear!"

"Don't what?"

"Hit that spear!"

"As u wish, sir." "No!"

lol That's a classic gag.

[barbaro267]

@thefaboloussob The line is "Katara, do not hit that sphere", but okay

[thefaboloussob]

0:28 As u can c from ½ Dome, all national parks looked like Glacier National Park @ that thyme. (even Biscayne N.P.)

[thefaboloussob]

Hey that's just like the "The Final Sacrifice" riff when that movie's title was on screen.

[FromHyrule]

a frozen jawa HAHAHAHH

[RanMouri82]

5:35 "It's like a lot of effort there. He should just buy a gun." Well said.

[VTPPGLVR]

One thing I like about the movie? How obvious it is that Shamalayn(sp?) only watched the episodes that were intentionally stupid (like when they saw the stage production in the Fire Nation) and decided to base the whole movie on it. X-D He hates the original as much as we hate this movie!

[eviljoel]

Mike, Bill and Kevin are brave, brave men for watching this movie. I've seen movies on MST3K that were better than this load of crap.

[goodeyesniper1125]

Wow...this is SOOOOOO much better than the actual movie...then again, most things are better than this movie.

[GameStation3]

Why is it that they kept on pronouncing it "Ahvatar"? Was Shyamalan resistant to pronounce it the real way because the James Cameron movie "Avatar" came out around that time?

[stathamajf]

You finally made this movie okay. The funnies have beaten back the horror of its cr*pness. Thank you.

[DenOfVipers]

Weird how Bill mentions "lame anime series" and there's a Naruto clip in here.

[horaciosi]

@DenOfVipers AMEN! :P

[Spark158]

Ha!

"Instadouchebag"

[netholor]

hahahah love the i'm harpo twilight reference

[jumpmanajf]

Lmao God this movie sucks ass this is about as bad as phantom menace.

[WarriorElf54]

welcome to narnia

[SpazMaTaz44]

"Believe it!"

And then the "harpo," part made me laugh so much... only because that was in the Twilight riff trax.

[SerasxAlucard]

LOL wootini 

[johnhamilton08]

I'm... harpo *sniff*

[gnbman]

Luckily, I've avoided seeing this move, but I think this video is much, much more worth watching.

[whohie]

"From all the fires off in the distance he guessed it was probably a mountain lion." Cracks me up every time xD

[Peolacurei]

Oh my God 7:58 made me laugh SO HARD

[BellaCullen325]

@Peolacurei I know, I kept replaying that OVER AND OVER because I loved it sooo much!

[kagenohyou]

Lmfao shit my pants at the Naruto "Believe it!: moment. Did You add that in yourself?

[Damar158]

@kagenohyou

Yes. It was simply too perfect to resist.

[elvaelvirababe]

was this series even worth doing a live-action movie? No matter how you adapt it on screen, it's always gonna look shit. Not even Nolan or Speilberg could fix it. It was a hit as an animated series and clueless directors like M. Night, ugh.

[shaggydiz]

8:00 to 8:20, I wet myself.

[addsfun4]

6:52 Penis!?!?

[Pr0teusUnbound]

i love how shocked people were when they found out this movie sucked. HELLO, THIS IS AN M KNIGHT SHYAMALAN MOVIE! M Knight WANTS to disappoint his viewers! you can see that in the anticlimactic endings to EVERY MOVIE HE HAS EVER MADE. he may be one of the better directors of our time, but try to remember that part of him is a sad man who wants to make other people sad.

[butchdeadlift10]

The series: when I first saw it I thought it would go horribly wrong, but quickly became smarter, more heartfelt, epic and entertaining that I would have ever wanted

the movie: The perfect reverse, High hopes for depth, fantasy, and intrigue and turned quickly into something as bad as the inspector gadget movie

[hichief]

I love how the white characters and the ethnic characters in the series are totally switched in the movie. I don't know if M Night knows this but um ... Katara and Sokka are dark skinned and Zuko is white...

[snipergirl21]

@hichief "Katara and Sokka are dark skinned and Zuko is white"

Actually, going by the cultures they are based on, Katara and Sokka are Eskimos and Zuko is Korean.

[hichief]

@snipergirl21 Not saying this in a snide manner, but regardless of the cultures they are based on, skin tone wise Katara and Sokka are dark-skinned and Zuko is light skinned. In the movie it's totally reversed. On a kinda different note they pronounce the names all weird too >_> it's like M Night didn't even watch the series!

[snipergirl21]

@hichief Ah, okay.

Apparently the actors themselves never watched the show either. If they had, they might have at least got the pronunciations proper. ("Ah-vatar")

[GameStation3]

@snipergirl21 Actually, Nicola Pelz said in an interview that she watched the show and loved it, yet she still pronounced Aang as "Ong" during it. I can't help but wonder if she had some lump in her throat whenever she mispronounced the name. On a side, I I also have no clue why it always looked like she was going to burst in tears whenever she was on screen.

[snipergirl21]

@GameStation3 Probably she was almost crying knowing she was in a lousy movie. LOL!

Ok, maybe that was a little mean. I do hope that in the future she gets better projects. She's a nice-looking girl, just too bad that this was her first major film.

[MichaelmyersTX]

Not even the Rifftrax can save this movie! How is that even possible?

[Micchi]

Grandpa's ashes NOOOO!!! DX< Reference to the voice actor of Uncle. RIP

[VeryAngryCamel]

I dont know if they do everywhere but in britain bender means gay, which really just brings out a whole new level of comedy in film and series.

WOW THAT KID OS ONE POWERFUL BENDER!

[colBoh]

@VeryAngryCamel: Doesn't have the same context in America, but, yeah. I don't think they ever actually said "bender" in the original cartoon, just "Waterbender", "Airbender", etc.

[VeryAngryCamel]

@colBoh no they constantly did it was hilarious XD

Examples:

That kid is one powerful bender!

The only way i can feel close to her is through my bending.

[evilbeckychan]

Oh god...I can't even watch the rifftrax....it hurts....it hurts so bad....what have you done, M. Night? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE???

[colBoh]

3:37 That's a weird thing I noticed about the film: The actors didn't always say the names the way Shamwow told them to. Seriously...?

[goherd3112]

Why would they cast a Daily Show corrsepondant in an action movie?

[TheSeveredArm]

Yep, snow. It's pretty much everywhere all the time.

[JBspode3]

Wats wootini

[thunderpantz]

@JBspode3 gibberish from one of the jawas in the original Star Wars

[NickFury182]

@JBspode3 It's something Jawas say in Star Wars

[camotophat]

How in the hell did this movie get the green light and the budget it had?!

[HinataChick38]

The movie explained in 3 letters: WTF? And also, why is that Indian guy from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart in this movie?!?!

[worldends08]

Anybody pick up the "Uncle Zhao" bit?

[TotalZukoFan]

There are six emergency exits on this aircraft please look around the cabin as the nearest exit may be behind you in the event of sudden decompression oxygen masks will automatically deploy and always remember that your seat cushion may be used as a floatation device thank you.

[worldends08]

@TotalZukoFan My favorite Rifftrax line in the movie; it fits so well with Aang & Katara's "movements."

[nestical916]

16 people were pushed back several feet & fled in terror

[Verto9999]

Aw no "back to you Jon" when Asif died..

[milkmanv1]

"That.....wasn't a good play." --Zuko

[teniguafez]

@milkmanv1 "At least the effects were decent" - Sokka

[Ichenmeis]

@milkmanv1 But the music was decent! :)

[kuribayashi84]

@Ichenmeis Yeah. Its really strange, the worse Shyamalans' Movies became, the better James Newton-Howards' Soundtracks got. "The last Airbender" is one of Howards greatest Works.

[Styrofoamification]

4:03 the guy giving her the scroll- Jin from Lost

[HeartTommyJoeRatliff]

i HATE THIS MOVIE No offense but it's terrible compared to the show

[Thorax101117]

@HeartTommyJoeRatliff Don't worry. I don't think anyone's actually offended that you hate this movie.

Plus, I don't think M.Night Shamalamdingdong is reading Youtube comments.

[EurekaPictures]

@HeartTommyJoeRatliff im offended that you think i would be offended by that

[HeartTommyJoeRatliff]

@EurekaPictures Some people are o_o the crazy bitches that walk this planet are... So glad to know you aren't aha

[DoverBroadcasting]

@EurekaPictures I'm offended that you don't believe that I believe in my beliefs as much as he believes in his beliefs that you would be offended.

Believe it!

[EurekaPictures]

@DoverBroadcasting I cant believe in your beliefs cuz I dont know them, I cant believe in his beliefs cuz they're wrong. I'm not offended by his hatred of the movie Im offended cuz he thinks Im offended by his hatred of the movie.

Now good day to you, sir.
