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.
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!
"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 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
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.
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.
"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.
The most adorable monster movie you'll ever see!
"The National Guard: showing up towards the end of B-movies since who knows when."
"He said 'Holy $@%#! Those are some big, %^&$#@* rabbits!'"
I want to watch this right now.
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!

"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)!
"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. :-)
Watership Down is a thousand times better and scarier than this.
**exits the general store**
"Make the store more specific when I'm gone!"
HAHA
God that was my favorite joke. gets me everytime
OMG!! DeForest Kelley! The original Dr. McCoy! SWEET!!
"Sam Peckinpa's Watership Down" Yeah, Watership Down is pretty dark already...
DEFOREST KELLY: Bill gets to be in a movie with tarantulas and what do I get...?
"Ow! Son of a-!"
"Ow! Son of a-!"
"Ow! Son of a-!"
"Ow! Son of a-!"
A "horror" movie with the most adorable little...(clear throat)BIG...monsters you'll ever witness on your screen :).
"Oh, and while we're spilling out things for the audience, Lepus means rabbit!"
"Like a bridge over rabbit monsters."
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!!!"
Thank you KI D. I was waiting for a "Bones" joke from the boys the moment I saw the good doctor.
A sign of changing times: if it were 1997, that "driving and parking" joke would've led to a Coleman Francis riff.
"And that's how you scream like a little girl."
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!” 😂
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.
"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.
When does de Forest Kelly say "He's dead, Jim" in this?
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.
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.
"I have rabbits, not bugs" Well Bugs was a rabbit
"The Griswalds are here!"
This would be perfect for a Rifftrax Live; if the giant bunnies look ridiculous here, imagine how they'll look in HD!
"The 1972 Rabbit offers supreme handling in the slickest conditions."
"In other news, the results of the presidential election are in. More on that after the bunny report."
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!
"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
"It was a simpler time when a fella shared his truck full of dead rabbits with his neighbors."
"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!
I would love to see the guys Riff "The Food of the Gods", another 70's mutated animal movie.
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!
"AGH! Yah shot me in the dick!" Best line..ever.
1.are you ready?
2.yeah just give me a couple more minutes
rifftrax. so then you're not ready.
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
"Stop squeaking,Bob!"
Bunny snuggles! Noooo.....!!!
"Release the 200ft. Yosemite Sam!"
"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!!"
KA-BLAM
"Argh! You shot me in the d*ck!"
RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!!
Happy Easter!
"Will there be enough desk-falls to go around? Because I'm not sharing mine."
"Hell, it worked on my wife."
@1:36 Keanu Reeves, the early years.
That's actually my father
“He’s dead Jim”
"Pause for laughter..."
"I bet my hair island on it!"
Argh! You shot me in the dick!!!
There's turd shaped like a walrus, I don't know why I found that so funny!
Okay, none of these comments got thru, but I'll be able to- SON OF A
Don't the boys notice that Dr McCoy is in this movie??
"We're gonna need plenty of victims."
you mean little boy haven't you ever heard one scream?? Watership Down
They're using this crap in The Matrix, why?!
What, no Monty Python jokes?!?
RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!
For those of you who wanted to see Night of the Lepus in the Matrix:
th-cam.com/video/Uqjmh3ScqMU/w-d-xo.html
Boy, how would you like to be the actor at 1:41 when he saw what take they used for his scream?
"Night of the Dingus"!
This can't be real. Giant rabbits??!
1:55 is that a laptop???
Should have made a joke about using the Holy Nuclear Bomb of Antioch.
Funny!
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.
youre not really a doctor are u
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.
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.
