One night when I was 19 and trippin on lsd I want to visit my dad. He was watching Night of the Lepus on the late movie. I only meant to stop in to see if he needed anything but got caught up in the movie and stayed till the end. Dad knew I was trippin but never brought it up. Cool dad,cheezy movie and a memorable night. That was back in 1986. Miss you dad.
"Sam Peckinpaw's Watership Down." Figured there had to be a Watership Down reference in it. Heck, this movie is just as violent as Watership Down...and that was a (mistakingly marketed) kids movie. When I read the novel several years ago, the only thing I kept thinking was that I kept picturing the movie. May need to see this one at some point. :-)
I saw this movie when I was little. All I remember is the rabbits running around... I didn't think this movie was real, there is no way anyone would make a movie about killer bunnies! ...Its reeeeeeeeeeal.... my mind is so blown...!!!! Also, this was far too funny, thanks for the upload!
I should hope they used a bit from Holy Grail. "Behind the rabbit?" "NO. It IS the rabbit." "Silly little blighter!" "Jesus Christ! That Rabbit is Dynamite!!!"
I saw this movie in full for the first time in 1993. I didn't know much back then but men in bunny suits tackling people seemed pretty silly back then too.
I asked my husband if he remembered when the killer bunny movie first came out. I was too young. I remember when I first heard of it. I still can't believe it.
"Hey if any of you rabbits die let me know so I can come roll around on your corpse. Nothing personal of course." lol "At my single unleash bunny snuggles." XD *BANG* "Mr Floopy" *BANG* "Jump Jump" *BANG* "Cotton tush No!" "Now that's how you scar a child for life. Ain't that right son?" rofl "GAH! You shot me in the dick." Okay I need a bathroom break now.
4:40! I lost it even before any one of the guys started talking! The whole thing looked silly with the trumpet playing and the bunnies running towards camera! LOL!
So a story: my mom's from Tuscon, and her family had a bunch of rabbits growing up (and siblings, mom was like, 7 of 11), and I remember she said in passing when i was really young once that her father sold or leased some rabbits to the filming of a "killer rabbit" movie. I didnt find a Duer in a really quick wiki/imdb lookup so no confirmation there but its still a neat story
Actually, it wasn't. They wanted to riff it back then, but they couldn't get the rights. The closest they came was a reference in The Amazing Colossal Man.
I know they're just screwing around, but Bill's furry joke really bugs me. It's almost as if they know virtually nothing about furries outside of all the controversial shit that all too often get's the spotlight.
"Get ready, men! This may be the most wascally threat we've ever faced!"
Genius!
Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor NOT a rabbit hunter! Sorry, couldn't resist. :)
Brilliant!
Thank you, Just wish I could've come up with a better wording than rabbit hunter but oh well. :)
Wabbit wacker.
TheAnubis57 You would think their would be a specific name for it. Maybe I should've said "Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor NOT Elmer Fudd!" :)

When that man screamed in horror at 1:41, I lost it and couldn't stop laughing!
"It's a phone, but it's in a car! Isn't that nuts?"
That gets me every time. This is one of my favorite tracks.
"He said 'Holy $@%#! Those are some big, %^&$#@* rabbits!'"
I want to watch this right now.
OMG!! DeForest Kelley! The original Dr. McCoy! SWEET!!
"Sam Peckinpaw's Watership Down."

Watership Down is a thousand times better and scarier than this.
The most adorable monster movie you'll ever see!
DEFOREST KELLY: Bill gets to be in a movie with tarantulas and what do I get...?
"Sam Peckinpa's Watership Down" Yeah, Watership Down is pretty dark already...
"Ow! Son of a-!"
"Ow! Son of a-!"
"Ow! Son of a-!"
"Ow! Son of a-!"
"The National Guard: showing up towards the end of B-movies since who knows when."
"Well be safe at that Bates Motel."
They finally got to do a PSYCHO joke with an actual PSYCHO actor in the scene (Janet Leigh)!
**exits the general store**
"Make the store more specific when I'm gone!"
HAHA
God that was my favorite joke. gets me everytime
A "horror" movie with the most adorable little...(clear throat)BIG...monsters you'll ever witness on your screen :).
"Like a bridge over rabbit monsters."
I saw this movie when I was little. All I remember is the rabbits running around... I didn't think this movie was real, there is no way anyone would make a movie about killer bunnies!
...Its reeeeeeeeeeal.... my mind is so blown...!!!!
Also, this was far too funny, thanks for the upload!
"Oh, and while we're spilling out things for the audience, Lepus means rabbit!"
I should hope they used a bit from Holy Grail. "Behind the rabbit?" "NO. It IS the rabbit." "Silly little blighter!" "Jesus Christ! That Rabbit is Dynamite!!!"
Hey, Rory Calhoun's in this movie! And he spends most of the running time standing and walking!
BLAM
"Mr. Floppy!"
BLAM
"Chomp-Chomp!"
BLAM
"Cottontush! NO!"
It's "Jump-Jump" actually, but whatever, the joke's still the same! :)
“Gah!, you shot me in the dick!” 😂
Thank you KI D. I was waiting for a "Bones" joke from the boys the moment I saw the good doctor.
"They're using footage from this crap in 'The Matrix'? WHY?"
I just Googled it. Apparently its on the TV during the famous spoon-bending scene.
TheStrangerDreams ...also the rights were cheap... non-existent, to be exact.
Y'know, the whole threat in this movie could have been handled by Lenny from Of Mice and Men.
"I done a bad thing, George."
Oh. My. Lord. I just snorted my margarita through my nose. God bless you, I needed that laugh!
Adam Hoffman or Catherine Deneuve in Repulsion.
Or Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.
"And that's how you scream like a little girl."
This would be perfect for a Rifftrax Live; if the giant bunnies look ridiculous here, imagine how they'll look in HD!
A sign of changing times: if it were 1997, that "driving and parking" joke would've led to a Coleman Francis riff.
"AGH! Yah shot me in the dick!" Best line..ever.
"I have rabbits, not bugs" Well Bugs was a rabbit
"The Griswalds are here!"
I would love to see the guys Riff "The Food of the Gods", another 70's mutated animal movie.
It's like Birdemic, but with rabbits. And better special effects.
MUCH better special effects.
They even reference 'Birdemic'... 3:36
And Doctor McCoy!
“Bugs was a rabbit”
And cuter!

You mean you can't believe anyone would green light this?
Mario Wendorf the movie is based on a book called the Day of the Angry Rabbit.
Mario Wendorf correction the book is called Year of the Angry Rabbit.
I heard about it when I was a little kid and it seemed like a joke. I can't believe how many decent names were on board with it.
"The 1972 Rabbit offers supreme handling in the slickest conditions."
When does de Forest Kelly say "He's dead, Jim" in this?
"In other news, the results of the presidential election are in. More on that after the bunny report."
"Hey if any of you rabbits die let me know so I can come roll around on your corpse. Nothing personal of course." lol
"At my single unleash bunny snuggles." XD
*BANG* "Mr Floopy" *BANG* "Jump Jump" *BANG* "Cotton tush No!"
"Now that's how you scar a child for life. Ain't that right son?" rofl
"GAH! You shot me in the dick." Okay I need a bathroom break now.
ROTFLMAO And molestastache, ha!
4:40! I lost it even before any one of the guys started talking! The whole thing looked silly with the trumpet playing and the bunnies running towards camera! LOL!
"Mr. Floppy! Chomp-Chomp! Cottontush! No!"
On MST3K Mike and the Bots mention watching this movie but we never get to see that episode for some reason.
I know. When I heard them talk about it, I thought I'd missed an episode. And, if you knew me, you'd know that's not likely.
Its almost like this one was done as an apology
Argh! You shot me in the dick!!!
Bunny snuggles! Noooo.....!!!
KA-BLAM
"Argh! You shot me in the d*ck!"
So a story: my mom's from Tuscon, and her family had a bunch of rabbits growing up (and siblings, mom was like, 7 of 11), and I remember she said in passing when i was really young once that her father sold or leased some rabbits to the filming of a "killer rabbit" movie.

1.are you ready?
2.yeah just give me a couple more minutes
rifftrax. so then you're not ready.
"It was a simpler time when a fella shared his truck full of dead rabbits with his neighbors."
"Stop squeaking,Bob!"
RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!!
@1:36 Keanu Reeves, the early years.
That's actually my father
“He’s dead Jim”
"Release the 200ft. Yosemite Sam!"
"Will there be enough desk-falls to go around? Because I'm not sharing mine."
"We apologize in advance to the many of you who will soon be known as collateral damage."
"Hold your ground, sons on Gondor!"
"TO THE KING!!"
There's turd shaped like a walrus, I don't know why I found that so funny!
"I bet my hair island on it!"
"Hell, it worked on my wife."
you mean little boy haven't you ever heard one scream?? Watership Down
"Pause for laughter..."
Don't the boys notice that Dr McCoy is in this movie??
Okay, none of these comments got thru, but I'll be able to- SON OF A
"We're gonna need plenty of victims."
Boy, how would you like to be the actor at 1:41 when he saw what take they used for his scream?
Happy Easter!
They're using this crap in The Matrix, why?!
For those of you who wanted to see Night of the Lepus in the Matrix:
th-cam.com/video/Uqjmh3ScqMU/w-d-xo.html
What, no Monty Python jokes?!?
RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!
"Night of the Dingus"!
I wish the riffers weren't so loud. On mst3k they blended in with the featured films audio a lot better. I find this somewhat obnoxious.
Should have made a joke about using the Holy Nuclear Bomb of Antioch.
This can't be real. Giant rabbits??!
1:55 is that a laptop???
Funny!
youre not really a doctor are u
This movie was on their old show. What's the point of making a rifftrax of it?
Actually, it wasn't. They wanted to riff it back then, but they couldn't get the rights. The closest they came was a reference in The Amazing Colossal Man.
Really? I could have sworn they mentioned riffig Night of the Lepus back on MST.
ElvenRaptor On Mike's first show as host, they mention watching it, but they never did. They did riff Manos again, though.
I know they're just screwing around, but Bill's furry joke really bugs me. It's almost as if they know virtually nothing about furries outside of all the controversial shit that all too often get's the spotlight.
