Rifftrax - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Sample

http://www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax/star-trek-ii-wrath-khan
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is commonly regarded as the most fun and exciting installment of the film franchise. This may well be true, especially given that the average Star Trek film is about as fun and exciting as a half-cup of plain yogurt. If you polled fans about what makes this particular film so thrilling, odds are they'd respond, "All the allusions to Herman Melville's Moby-Dick!" (results may vary). Indeed, the original script contained even more quotes from that classic novel. Most notably, the moment when Kirk, in a fit of vengeful rage, leans back and roars to the heavens, "Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can." VERY popular on t-shirts.

Hahaha, COOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!

[GodaiGamer]

A TMNT: Coming Out of Their Shells joke?! Current!!!

[ForceMaximus84]

For such a classic moment as 01:47, they sure did a pretty weak riff on it.

[GodaiGamer]

@McflyMcMurderface I'm just wondering how they even knew about the Coming Out of Their Shells Tour. Maybe a younger staffer thought of that joke?

[ForceMaximus84]

@McflyMcMurderface Plus, the ones that would actually buy and watch a Rifftrax sample for something like The Wrath of Khan would either be old enough or geeky enough to get it.

@GodaiGamer I assume they go for old references, because to reference anything from today is to sully ones self.

He all of a sudden remembered which Bill and Ted character wrecked the sporting goods store>! lol

1:21 I hate that, too. X-p what's up with dudes and doing that??

[ItchythaWookiee]

I'm a little annoyed that the riffs are based on the Director's Cut editions, which means that the DVDs I have don't synch up properly.
