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.
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.
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.
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.
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."
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.
The 1933 version more chills for what it did not show...All the money spent on this bizarre travesty and waste of talent...Let the riffing begin so the healing can take place!
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.
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.
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?).
Torgo...was it you that did the Rifftrax vs. Nick Nolte collab? I can't remember who uploaded it it was either you or Commander kalgan or Wiley Schmidt but now it's gone
11:08 say what you will about this movie but marco hoffinster who plays m,ling was done dirty and so was Ron pearlman this little interaction between them is sad and potent god imagine what we would have got if Richard stanly directed
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.
nice movie, wish they would make a squel, next time they should have a shark boy and croc girl. shark boy who swallowed a surfer boy, and has human hands sticking out of his mouth, fights with croc girl, and pulls croc girls pony tail hair, sticking out after she swallowed pony boy.
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".
I come from the future, and this movie will be heralded as less horrific than Cats the movie.

this was one of the most unintentionally terrifying movies ever made.
"He grew a vestigial person."
Easily one of my favorite riffs. It was funny, had a great visual and I learned a new word.
1:06 "Meanwhile, Uncle Captain sails the Lincoln Lina in search of the dreaded three headed threep!"
"The hell...?"
"Beanie and Cecil!"

A Bob Clampett cartooo-oooon.
Leakin' Lena. Cheers....
This is just the behind the scenes footage of the Brando household. The Dr. Moreau movie hasn't started yet.
Kevin Pogue Just snorted out loud, like a damn racehorse reading this, thank you!
At 11:40 you can see David Thewlis trying sooooo hard not to laugh! He way beyond 'over it' at this point.

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.
They brought in John Frankenheimer to try and fix the mes and apparently he hated Kilmer too. Total mess.
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."
Ha! Nice one - thanks for sharing!
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.
I saw that documentary on Tubi just a couple nights ago.
"All the other kids have dads who aren't bucktoothed albino walruses!"
“All hail the universal remote! All hail!”
It's sad this movie went through hell and back with the production.
Gad, yes. What a mess that was.
I think this whole movie was an alternate ending to Apocalypse Now - with extra Malaria and Nightmares.
I got the Watership Down reference!
4:25 "Ozzy Osbourne and Ralph Macchio!" noooo 😂
Ice bucket hat? I thought that looked more like a giant thimble.
I think it really is an ice bucket. Marlon Brando put it on in between takes and refused to take it off.
Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer did a LOT of things and refused to cooperate.
There was a commentary on this movie that said something about a thimble....anyone remember where or what it was?
At least he won't prick his scalp while he's embriodering.
"Oh, look at the time."
The 1933 version more chills for what it did not show...All the money spent on this bizarre travesty and waste of talent...Let the riffing begin so the healing can take place!
"POOR GUY LOST HIS LOWER LIP IN THE WAR." 😅
8:47 Plot Twist: That wasn’t acting.
"Where's the lard, man? THE LARD!?"
“It’s Nick Nolte’s one-man show”
Brando looks like Darth Vader before he died. OMG.
I believe you mean "Anakin Skywalker". *adjusts nerd glasses
It's Nick Nolte's one man show.
Eh, seems more Kris Kristofferson.
Brando in his clown white makeup at the beginning has a vaguely Palpatine-esque look
Now that you mention that, I wonder if Brando was one of the choices to play the Emperor in Return of the Jedi.
Is this really the same man who won an Academy Award for On the Waterfront? I demand a recount!
Yep. The guy who did The Godfather, everybody.
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.
This film is so bloody mindedly weird that it almost transcends itself
That scene with Kilmer dressed as Brando watching the beastmen orgy alongside german alt rock perfectly encapsulates this movie
@@jacobp7037 True...True...
Technically, _all_ fire can kill.
We got 30 more…best get snappin’. Kevin is the best.
Marlon Brando in pancake makeup is my spirit animal.
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.
That was thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks

Didn't Brando decide Moreau was trying to turn himself into a dolphin?
Are we sure he wasn't going for something larger... orca, maybe?
He wanted to shut down filming to completely rewrite the script so that the end would have him reveal the hole in his head.
@@OpenMawProductions I'm reasonably sure that this movie documents the final loss of sanity for both Brando and Kilmer.
It's my understanding he was going for a sea cow/manatee/dugong.
@@rachelalicea500 Kilmer, no doubt.
Somebody reboot Kilmer!
Dude lost his mind filming "The Doors" and just never got it back.
No comments about the head drink and comparing it the the Harry Corman Star Wars Special alien..
Harvey Korman.
Poor John Frankenheimer signed on to this then cried because he couldnt have a car chase
Was also thinking 'that island looks like Nessie'.
STELLA!!!!!!! Oops, sorry, wrong flick!
This movie is batshit crazy
That's why I like it. Brando & Kilmer are out of their minds.
You,should read the book
😂👍I love this! “The Island Of Dr. Moreau” gets trolled by MST3000!😂
Why was Marlan Brando dressed like an old black church lady?
rifftrax ruined my ability to watch movies without them
Marlon Brando, Val Kilmer, David Thewlis, Fairuza Balk, Temuera Morrison, Ron Perlman, William Hootkins, Frank Welker and Peter Cullen.
I wish I could hear that music that plays while he's adrift at sea
Whatever happened to "i like my fairuza's in balk"?
7:48 best joke
God damn this is funny!
Marlon Brando as Uncle Kage, in "Furry Convention Island."
He could've been a contender.
there's a muumuu and some clown white in your room
Its the turnips in my underwear for me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Poor Bageera in for a Colonoscopy 😂😂😂
2:08 That SE is used in 7days to die
Torgo...was it you that did the Rifftrax vs. Nick Nolte collab? I can't remember who uploaded it it was either you or Commander kalgan or Wiley Schmidt but now it's gone
Will you make Best of RiffTrax compilation video about “Attack of the Super Monsters”?
11:08 say what you will about this movie but marco hoffinster who plays m,ling was done dirty and so was Ron pearlman this little interaction between them is sad and potent god imagine what we would have got if Richard stanly directed

6:20 How did Moreau get his hands on a Mandalorian?
"I wanna go to doggy heaven."
0:39 THOU SHALL NOT BLASPHEME AGAINST THE SUBLIME DAVID THEWLIS! (Although his decision to be in this film does make me question his sanity)
He only showed up because Val Kilmer's role was changed from Edward (David's character) to Montgomery.
'We got 30 more, best get snappin'." Haha.
EDIT: 'Trying to develop a kosher pig." Haha.
BUT NO WINGS HAUSER!!!! RIGHT????.... RIGHT????!!!!
Whacked Nessie! Lol ....
As H.G. Wells spins in his grave, we get to watch rifftrax rip apart the utter filth that is this movie.

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".
Brando had a lot more to do with the bad choices in this movie than any of the directors did.
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?
H.G. Wells rest easily now, thanks to RiffTrax.
This is and will be a cult classic 🙉
Berenstein Goddamn it! We won't forget about it , man behind the curtain. We won't forget!
God, one of the hosts sounds like Seth rogen to me!
Holy shit XD
I still prefer Pearl Forrester.
What a horrible movie.
Watching this just cause i want to watch the scenes and wish I could mute the attempts at humor.
Possibly the most unfunny commentary ever
