I'll never tire of the running joke of _"Golden Corral's new slogan."_ 😆
So many slogans!
And the variations…
Kevin: “Rifftrax’s new slogan!”
Bill: “You ‘Golden Corraled’ us!”
My favorite riffs on MST3K were the running jokes.
i've always wondered why they go in so hard on GC the food isnt that bad lol
I just heard the joke right after reading this, perfect timing! Haha
As an archaeologist, I can say "drunken, after dinner archaeology" pretty much does sum up our work flow. ;)
I wish I had listened to my heart and went into archaeology 😢
"Dum vita est, spes est"; "as long as there is life, there is hope". If your heart tells you to go into archaeology and historical studies, you should follow that dream. :) @@MortusSweet
"Why is he called the 'giant from the unknown' when he's clearly the giant from Spain?" 😂🤣😂🤣
And he's not really much of a giant.
@@ajs3994 no doubt 😆 I'm 6'5 and I doubt he's taller than me by more than a few inches
It looks better on a poster I guess?
@@ajs3994 He's of the same variety of Giants that are Faceless, and do battle with Superargo. Bigger than average, and moderately menacing.
He didn't even look as tall as the giant from Monster A-Go-Go.
"...Give me fuel. Give me fire. Give me that which... Hey wait, this is a 'Metallica' detector!"
Gotta be honest, if I listened to a groom stating his vows of love and fidelity for several minutes, then having the bride say, "One false move, and I'll blow your head off!", my life would be complete as I died laughing. Thanks, Kevin!
He’s the giant from the unknown, but they know everything about him.
Just ain't natural.
He ain't from round here.
he’s as mysterious as big daddy is elusive.
@ericacross7337he’s dressed up like a conquistador but NOBODY EVER SEES HIM!
He's tall, and bearded, and he's got some MUSCLES on him... but nobody ever SEES him!!!
1:00 Albert Glasser, the man who holds you down and pummels you with music!
Yeah, I was, like, what the hell is it with this music?
Oh, Albert Glasser, right.
I remember once listening to this episode in bed trying to go to sleep. the Music kept me up.
"How could you *possibly* be *suspicious* of Devil's Crag?"
Only a few mins in and can tell this is gonna be a good 'un
Chief, he wasn't a monster, he was the captain of the high school basketball team
31:09 may be my new favorite riff of all time. Quoting the first ever Peanuts comic, knowing that there's a good chance more people will miss it than recognize it . . . Perfect!
I got the reference too!
Good old Charlie Brown...
Something got into Cooper's chicken house? Gotta respect a movie bold enough to set the stakes that high right from the opening scene.
When building intrigue and suspense, you gotta start somewhere. lol
And we never find out who.
Maybe "chicken house" is a euphemism
@Marc Colten Yeah, I'm from south Alabama. We used "chicken house" as slang for 'butthole' there, too.
48:50 I love how the sheriff just takes another random shot at absolutely nothing.
Yeah and if Brooks ought to sue for wrongful arrest then he should for sure be suing for being shot at over 3 dozen times while posing no immediate threat to the life of the sheriff or anyone nearby. You can’t shoot people on sight even if they’ve killed a bus load of nuns, so the sheriff has no excuse.
Starring Ed Kemmer, who played opposite William Shatner on the Twilight Zone episode "Nightmare at 20,000 feet" (as the flight engineer, not the goon on the wing) and before that, was the star of a popular 1950's SciFi kids show called "Space Patrol".
It's "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet."
Am I the only person who noticed that the sheriff was almost as white as his hat? Seriously, I thought that he was wearing pancake makeup normally reserved for people playing vampires.
gremlin
Thanks for that. I love people like you and all your knowing things.
@@deanfiora4227 Ackchyually.jpg
" I not miss what I shoot at."
"Sooooo... where's the rabbit?"
Noticed that too, why didn’t Wayne ask?
@@teresas8173 I try not to slight the eyesight and/or marksmanship of people holding guns on me. Too many ways for it to end in ironic comeuppance.
Thank you for the "free" movie boys. You make bad movies better. 🎬
Why is "free" is quotation marks? The movie IS free lol
@@markalexander3659 Yes Sir, because to watch this comercial free you need premium TH-cam which costs $$. While others can watch it fully free, not counting net costs. So free isn't free for everyone.
For a low budget b movie this is an amazing print.
No Rifftrax movie is complete without at least one Golden Corral reference!
Someone needs to do a montage. I think I laugh at every one I've heard.
golden corral's new slogan.
Maybe it's a paid product placement
Or a Nick Nolte reference
"I'd like to Ponce her Deleon." 🤣
Coffee; a major plot point.
Well, sure. Lots of auteurs use coffee as a cinematic device in their films. For example, Coleman Francis used it to great effect in his masterpiece "The Skydivers".
@@anonblog7785 Classic
Coffee?......I like coffee
@@anonblog7785” Hey Joe, how about that coffee”
I did some digging and the Giant from the Unknown was 6'7". While the average adult at the time was 4'2".
33:03 “…your simple brain is dazzled by shiny things.” 😂😂😂😂😂
I tried that joke on my mom...🤕
😂
Oh, I LOVE this one. Though...I'm still confused what was mutilating the cattle in the beginning. The Giant didn't wake up until much later.
C'est peut-être Joe ?
I don't care for the cattle mutilation. Cows are people too.
@@calsavestheworld Oh, cows are _definitely_ people too, and deserve each and every right that we humans enjoy -- including, but not limited to, access to library cards, driver's licenses, home ownership, being presumed innocent until proven -delicious- guilty.
@@calsavestheworld only if they are minotaurs, otherwise, they are just lunch or source of milk, or the cause of global warming because of their farts.
A huge plot hole in a B movie. Very unusual 😅
It’s movies like this that made me fall in love with MST and RiffTrax. Creature Double Feature on a Saturday afternoon.
Fun Fact: The make-up effects for the giant, Vargas, were created by Jack Pierce, known for his Universal Pictures' classic monster makeup for Boris Karloff's Frankenstein (1931), The Mummy (1932), and Lon Chaney Jr.'s The Wolf Man (1941). Too bad he did this film.
Jack had already been kicked out of universal by then
So if the giant is awakened mid way through the movie what killed all the cattle and that guy at the start?
A wizard did it.
@@Scribblerjohnny The lizard, actually
UFO
Wait, there were Indian grave sites in this movie...of course! It was the spirits from _Poltergeist!_ It all makes sense now!
Im 5 minutes in and Im already dying. This is a good one
Movies like this are why we have The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. Thank you, Giant From the Unknown, you and your ilk.
What amazes me is that "Hollywood" (et al) have produced SO many bad movies, that you can riff on millions upon billions of them, and never run out of original material there. It's a cornucopia of sleaze. I continue to be astonished at all the content you manage to find.
This movie reminds me of “The thing that Wouldn’t Die” I love that one
24:47 🤣🤣🤣 I was part of a dig on the coast of Israel in the '90's and one group uncovered a burial site of Crusaders and I guarantee not one of the women screamed! 🤣🤣🤣
55:35 "think we might start a forest fire with these flares?!" "Not a chance, that only happens with cigarette butts" "oh yeah"
1:06:43 Special FX team: "We gotta make it look like the giant is falling down the spillway! I know, we'll run the stock footage backwards!!!"
RIP Gate....you poor child you shine on you crazy diamond
I'm hungover and having a bad day. Than this shows up. Thank you rifftrax you guys are my heros.
🤟🤜🤛
Yeah me too. I'm hoping I get better.
I'll be hungover in a while. This is worth the watch in both directions...
I can't believe I heard a Detectorists reference! My 2 favorite shows in one serving - I can die happy now.
Yay, another extremely accurate reference to the Detroit Lions!
As a lifetime fan, I disagree. Sometimes they don't even try. . .
@@woodsplitter3274 how very true.
"It's your friend, Charlie Brown"
"Good grief!" 😆
It's time for RiffTrax
"I have to see Mr Cleveland" "Yeah, he promised me a steamer" 🤣
"I was just out making 'Fountains of Wayne' if you catch my drift." Love FOW. This made me grin.
Ah, Giant from the Unknown is much better than the sequel Dwarf into the Known.
Never saw that one. Is it a short?
@@Great_White_Shork *groans* Well, it did have a tiny impact.
@@Great_White_Shork Only in subject matter, the run time made Das Boot seem like an episode of The Simpsons. An early episode.
They really jumped the shark with the third one; Average Guy from the Mildly Familiar Like I Read About It On Trip Advisor But Haven’t Been There Myself
I played the horse in sequel.
@6:00, RIP that guy. Lol, thanks for the full film riff!
Nothing like watching a good RiffTrax movie when doing a grid search
No better way to liven up your day than with a good ol' grid search.*
It's just what the Professor ordered!
**RiffTrax Approved*
You missed out on a million short jokes about the sheriff. The sheriff was Bob Steele, one of the biggest two fisted 1930s western stars. In those movies he looked six foot tall, but shrunk down to 5'4" for this movie.....
At the beginning of the movie they have an old man beaten to a pulp, animal mutilations and a chicken coop tore to pieces. Who did that?
My guess is they shot the first part of the movie in that town and then there were re-writes when they realized the movie was supposed to be about a geologist finding things suspended in rocks. And people are stupid and would wonder where it came from if there wasn't a waking up scene
That’s an entirely different movie. In the case of animal mutilations, I’m guessing aliens. But you’ll have to wait for the sequel.
@@bobf9749 How long have we been waiting?
The reanimated lizard, obviously
It wasn't the mad Native American, I tell you what.
Just started... They're starting out strong... Like the mst3k days... It makes me miss the Tom, crow, and Mike shades. I've been watching long enough to imagine the active expressions
The guys riff about the "giant" not being all that tall. He was played by Buddy Baer, the brother of heavyweight champion Max Baer, and was apparently 6'7".
"I'm tall for the 16th century!"
And he was the uncle of jethro of the beverly hillbillys
my personal definition for "giant" is over 9'.
My brother is 6’7”. He is by no means a giant. Just tall.
That's really not very gigantic
"Hi and Lois fan fiction" has somehow become one of my favorite pop culture jokes of theirs.
Didn't they do a riff with the Comics Curmudgeon a while back? Wonder if he gave them the idea
@@typacsk One of the Spider-Mans, as I recall.
Well, it's moments like this, that make me glad I'm a MST3K and Rifftrax fan, because good lord, this movie perplexes me to no end. I mean, they could've title this movie "Axe Conqueror" and it would make somewhat sense, because this gent is no Giant.
From the movie's title, "Giant from the Unknown" sounds like the Giant should've been an alien or at least a subspecies of Baragon. I mean, either of these ideas would've been an awesome concept, instead of a Giant Conquistador that somehow made it to the 20th century. I mean, if these guys are going to do some wild reaches into explaining how this Ancient bloke was preserved, why not go with something simple like: The occurrence of livestock mutilations and a tragic human fatality in this mountainous town prompts the arrival of a team consisting of both criminal and wildlife investigators. As they delve into the investigations, they unexpectedly stumble upon a startling revelation: the perpetrator is an enormous creature concealed deep within the distant expanse of the nearby mountain, its origins unknown. It begs the question, in frustration, why haven't the filmmakers enlisted the services of a skilled creature make-up effects or special effects expert?
Initially, the concept that comes to my mind involves the Giant being a cunning creature employing a camouflage technique, disguising itself as a cluster of boulders or a rock formation. This deceptive facade allows it to ambush and seize unsuspecting victims. Perhaps a creature resembling a Giant Lizard-man (guy in a costume for sure, c'mon the Japanese are the masters of this effect) would have been a more fitting choice. Of course, I am unaware of the budgetary constraints they were operating under, but nonetheless, they could have reconsidered the name or developed a more compelling storyline.
I thought Sally Fraser looked familiar, she was also in It Conquered The World, War of The Colossal Beast, and Earth Vs. The Spider.
And her father, Dr. Fraser, was in Rocketship X-M and Beginning of the End.
She was in The Spider. Not Earth vs The Spider. That's June Kenney.
@@hammondOT Both Spider titles refer to the same movie, and Sally Fraser was in both (Earth Vs.) The Spider and Giant From the Unknown. That's what Imdb says anyway.
@@GillianMStarlight Oh, yep. Looks like you're right!
Shout out to Detectorists, was a good, deadpan sort of BBC comedy drama.
I believe my girlfriend has recommended it pretty highly. I'm sure we'll watch it at some point!
I love how they defied all stereotypes of what a giant is by having the Giant be all of 5'9
Don't forget, this movie was made in the '50s, when the average height of a man was around 4'10
"ROCK'S, THEY'RE BOUNCY. BOIOING." 🤣
56:56
"He's got potatoes, run!" 😂
How the cast kept a straight face making this I`ll never know ;-)
That bih! She convinces him to give up just so she can take over!
56:57 _"He's got potatoes! Run!"_ 🤣
Glad you threw in that last line. I completely forgot about that.
Idk what it is but let's get it!!!!!
22:01 I'm a HUGE fan of Brush. Bom Bawyer, Bly By Bight, Bloser to the Beart... total classics
28:30 More Adam Duritz
53:12 "Really flex the spine and neck"
55:53 Some things are beyond endurance, *Mike.*
56:50 Giant does a great Scooby-Doo.
What, no Blimelight?
@@sirsoftspoken "Bimebight"
Charlie was 1958’s Denny. Somehow Charlie owes Chris R money.
"It's your lucky day" indeed! Thanks for the freebie lads!
Interesting how Vargas's clothes also were in a state of suspended animation. 500 years old, and only a little dirt on them. Otherwise, they appear quite new.
Ah, hell... there I go overthinking this kind of $#!t again.
Some classic riff material. I love the b movie sloggs way more than the nightmares balloon land or mole people
Loved the Thin Lizzy "and if the boys wanna fight, you better let 'em" reference!
I suppose "Giant From The Unknown" is a more enticing title than "Tall Guy From Spain"
Meanwhile the poor lizard has starved to death back at the lab and everyone has forgotten about the immortality rocks
Wow, Mike Bill and Kevin did a great job with this one, they really mutilated it.
Dudes wearing their pants pulled up to their chests. The look that has NEVER come back into fashion.
Fun fact, it really is considered bad luck to toast with water… which the British have been trying to deal with since they started drinking quinine with water at meals when they ran out of gin. Luckily the British never ran out of anything again..
EPA chief toasted with water at E Palestine recently to show it was safe to drink.
That was great! Thanks guys! 👍
1:00:52 Never seen people this chilled in the climax of an action movie.
The buildings in the establishing shot for the town of “Pine Ridge”, at time stamp 01:44, looks awfully similar to the one used in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode “Carbon Creek” (S.2, Ep.2), so maybe it didn’t get paved over and turned into a Walmart after all.
The giant looks a lot like Lt. Worf...
And like the Cavemen from the Geico commercials.
This is one of my favourites! ❤️ thanks guys
My dad was a big fan of Bob Steele's old b westerns. He had small roles in The Big Sleep and Of Mice and Men also.
He's excellent in the Big Sleep. "Wha'd'ya think it is? Poison?"
Bob Steele? Surely you don't mean the legendary Hartford, CT, radio announcer?
Still a better fantasy than Rings of Power
Reading your comment was more entertaining than Rings of Power
@@TheSoonToBePurgedJackMeHoff55 Reading your reply was better than The Rings of Power
That's a low bar!
Ouch.
The only real fantasy there is them believing it will be remembered as a successful show.
Finally a Fountains of Wayne reference.
Man Albert Glasser just had one volume setting, didn't he?
"I not miss what I shoot at."
"Is that right, Joe.. where's the dead rabbit? Where's the dead rabbit, joe?"
The Unknown, Spain
Since the "Giant" was asleep all the time before he first awoke and killed the girl, WHO was mutilating the animals and killed the other guy?
I know, the SHERIFF!!!
He just jumps to conclusions faster than a cat on a hot tin roof!
The awkward gun play in this movie is more tragic than "Rust".
("Rust", that movie that that guy Alec B. was making and "accidentally" shot the director).
I am always amazed at the film maker's use of a slow monster that people seem to not be able to get away from.
I wonder if the director was really Ed Wood?
I think the producer got a lot of money from relatives and other suckers and then pocketed the bulk of it to make this movie.
This is made by the same folks who make Bloodlust! so quality isn't really their thing.
The Devils Crag is located between the pee maker and the log maker , otherwise known quaintly by the locals of this town as "The Taint"
No, it’s the chocolate kiss, otherwise known as the anus
Or, The Devil's Crack
5:29 - Poor Harold Banks. Gee! Not only was he killed off screen, but Harold Banks did the special effects for this film.
Nice Toad from American Graffiti reference there boys!
"You throw like a 700 year-old reanimated Spaniard!"
But who mutilated the cows??
And who beat the old man to a pulp? Or tore apart the chicken coop?
Elves.
Seriously, never seen a movie with such a Betelgeuse-size plot hole. Monster A-Go-Go was taught & well executed by comparison.
So I take it the sheriff isn't the giant?
Ha, I guess not.
Steele was in a lot of westerns, "Of Mice And Men", and F Troop.
"Yeah, you need to watch the director's cut to see the full 20-minute digging scene"
Somewhere, Zack Snyder starts furiously taking notes.
In slow motion..
Fountains of Wayne band drop was classic RiffTrax ~
When the giant peeks from the bushes at about 36:30 , all I could think was DUH-DUH-DUH from the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
the 'Martha' scene is like the eagles in the Lord of the Rings: there are actual answers that you can try to tell people, but they just keep ignoring them
I’m so surprised the gal had time to make coffee and sandwiches. LOL! 😅
How dang many movies did they make in the 50s about conquistadors being reanimated in modern times and going on rampages?!
You not touch graves is what Peter Graves was thinking when his character in Airplane! asked Joey if he liked movies with gladiators in them
Hey check out the store sign at 2:49. Meth sold here hahahahahaha!
Don't you know when you're licked was the name of my first and only adult movie that I'm not proud of but had no choice as I was desperate for college tuition money
7:40 -- the likelihood that I'll get away with saying things like that to cops is one of the few things that make me look forward to being a senior citizen someday.
Morris Ankrum, for some reason I expect Jeff Morrow and Edgar Barrier to show up at any moment.
19:00 Detectorists is a BRILLIANT show!
Seen it - not worth rewatching. But pretty good for a one and done.
Albert Glasser, I'd know those choruses of trombones anywhere
