🤔 I’m so confused as to why this “brilliant” blockbuster movie never got a sequel. It’s 'definitely' better than his Birdemic movies, to which a third installment is getting closer as we speak. At the end of this year, no less. (Yay 😑 I can’t wait. I’m soo ready 🤨 to be amazed by Nguyen’s impeccable moviemaking talents again!)
Life according to James Nguyen: Being a software salesman is the most exciting profession in the world. Being a creepy stalker will get you laid every time. And there's nothing more fascinating and compelling than watching cars parking.
Why wouldn't he clone the actual celebs instead of their replicas? Are the replicas just people that kinda/sorta look and sound like them, like Beatles' tribute bands?
This movie is to Vertigo what Birdemic was to The Birds. That is, it obviously stole it's major plot points wholesale from a Hitchcock film without ever understanding what made the Hitchcock film good.
Pro-tip, ladies: if you're dating a guy who's girlfriend just died, and you look like her, and he demands that you dress/act/dye to be even more like her... RUN AWAY!!!
Its just mind boggling this dude made two identical films before birdemic, which is also identical.. and yet still didn't get any better at all. They're not even funny bad or amazing like Neil Breen hahaha
@@tuckerbowen4626 it’s not even like she’s a clone body trying to establish an identity beyond that of her clone-doner. She’s got all Ev’s memories and personality, she just took on a false identity to… idk, keep the clone lab a secret I guess?
'my colleague Dr. Evelyn Tyler informed me that you are the top salesman of your company, that I should look no further than yourself and your company to satisfy my computer needs, in fact she told me you needed to improve your sales performance' I don't expect much from James Nguyen but logical constancy throughout a single sentence would be nice
Sorry to tell you this, but just because he's in a slump doesn't mean he isn't the top salesman. If Michael Jordan is in a slump and is only scoring 19 points a game compared to his average of 28 he is the top scorer on the team and in a slump.
@@joe7923 he was about to get fired unless he improves his sales numbers, unless every other salesman was about to get fired as well for incompetence that doesn't sound like a "top salesman"
@@TheNzFox Well, they _were_ all about to be fired for their incompetence, that was the point of the meeting where the one lame guy tried to blame "the economy". ...I think.
I've watched SO many Rifftrax and MST3K movies, but to this day, I don't think I've ever laughed harder than the car accident followed by "That's her monument? Was she a celebrated general before the medical job?" (Though the bird with a megaphone and the entire ending here got some pretty good laughs out of me, too).
Just about to start this one, myself, but my RiffTrax standout so far is likely Guy From Harlem, when the hotel room service delivers a bomb instead of the well done NY Strip, Guy says "I can smell a bad(?) steak a mile away." to which Mike hits, "What, are you a cartoon dog?"
You could have been sitting behind that lady, tattooing her arse and you'd still not make a mistake during a crash that slow. it is, dare I say, GENIUS lol
I work in tech sales and I am watching/listening to this movie as I work. Vertigo is one of my all-time favorite movies. When I glanced over and saw the shot of the two of them near the Golden Gate Bridge it reminded me of Vertigo. Now that I am 40 minutes in and the main character meets the girl that looks like his dead girlfriend…I see what the filmmaker is doing…I was fine when this dude ripped off the birds, but Vertigo? I won’t stand for it.
If you haven't seen this before, don't do any research or googling. Just go into it sight unseen. It's an absolutely astounding film. If you think Birdemic was out there, this is another level.
Normally I am fanatically indifferent to spoilers, but you seem like a good honest sort. I'm doing it, even knowing the sort of agony James Nguyen might be able to inflict on me from a straight ambush. God help us all. D:
I think I somehow love this one more than Birdemic. Probably due to 90% less shrieking "eagles" vs. just a few parakeet chirps . Also, the slow-mo car crash 'death' of the valley girl kidney surgeon gets me every time. Thank you!!
That just reminded me of Paris Hilton's appearance in "The cat in the hat" (Mike Myers). GREAT movie (I need to edit in the deleted scenes, which are CRIMINALLY hilarious), but her appearance in it is just bad. They left HER scene in the movie, but they deleted (example) the scene where the cat pretends to be a fur skin rug in the TV shop. Wow.
the "James James Nguyen-verse" absolutely slayed me. I feel like we really have barely explored all of the car-parking potential. I can't WAIT to see the fanfiction!
To bring it full circle, David DeCoteau who directed A Talking Cat also directed a movie called Retro Puppet Master starring none other than Greg Sestero from The Room.
Your guy’s dynamic is fantastic. I’ve be a fan for almost 20 years. I’m very happy your still producing content. My mother was a member of your original fan club. Crow sticker on our Cadillac back in the day. Thank you.
"And as she runs off, she triggers the remote denotator they build into every kidney". That is actually a good plot for a murder mystery. Doctor does organ transplant, saving a patient's life. Patient winds up stalking the doctor, until to defend herself the doctor is forced to activate the remote detonator she puts in some of the organs she transplants. Murder mystery picks up, and our dashing investigatress has to find out why this man died, who killed him, and why the hell a doctor is putting bombs into people.
That's actually a terrible idea for a mystery. The person exploded from the inside and had surgery to replace an organ in the last X months. I wonder who did it?!
This is the first movie I've ever seen that could be declared clinically dead. The script consists entirely of paragraph fragments, each one representing a stillborn subplot And it combines Nguyen's grade school level dialog and delivers in an all encompassing dead voiced monotone so flat and affectless that even a robot would too ashamed to utter This is moviemaking while under the influence of quaaludes.
You mean “BIRDEMIC 3 - Sea Eagle?” Yes, unfortunately, it is currently in production I’m afraid! (According to his own claims, it will be released at the end of the year.)
Aand remember, folks: When you film your movie, you want place the microphone as near to the parakeet cage as possible, to avoid it picking up any troublesome mispronunciation from the actors!
😅 And if the lead actor is speaking from inside a car, place the microphone across the street-for ambient noise, so it doesnt sound artificial like youre making a movie
According to this movie, which is deadlier? - 2 cars parking a couple feet apart... or a gun that does not actually fire, but twitches to sound effects from a tape recorder in another room?
Oh my God this is why you don't read comments as you start watching the movie. I'm like, what the frick dumpster fire of a movie did they find this time
From watching this directors movies you know that's always been in an aspiration of his to be white. Heck sometimes I wish I was darker so I don't have to worry about the sun hating my skin
I didn't believe anything could be funnier than your riffs of Birdemic or the Talking Cat but as I sit here trying not to piss myself and crying laughing, I realize I was wrong, you absolute geniuses, you unbelievable bastards!
How did you guys miss that the "detective" who interviewed the protagonist presented no identification at all? He was probably just some creep who wanted to take the opportunity to ask completely inappropriate and invasive questions of the grieving boyfriend that had nothing to do with the not-at-all-a-fatal-car-accident.
James Nguyen staples -The first line abruptly cuts in with all the white noise present. -Long driving scenes (bonus points if it shows every second of the car pulling out and taking off) -Swimsuit lovemaking scenes -Scenes with looping stock bgm -Scenes that end with awkward silence -Everything is going comically well for the characters for the first 30-40 minutes. -Characters speaking in empty platitudes.

It's just Vertigo, if Vertigo was made by somebody who had never seen a film and had no experience of how humans interact with each other. In fact, it's like Vertigo if nothing meant anything to anybody: Revision - It's Vertigo, if Kim Novak was a kidney cloning surgeon who grinds James Stewart on a wipe-down sofa wearing a bikini, before being cloned by a mad scientist with shaky arms and a bullet-less magic firearm.
@@WhiteMonster69 Hahahaha That's a notable quotable line there, I'll be plagiarising that to appear cleverer than I am in the not too distant future, if you don't mind 🙂
is that what Vertigo is about? I assumed Nguyen saw PARTS: the Clonus Horror and went well shit, I can do that. I mean, not with THAT budget, but.. it's already been ripped off once or it was the ripoff, I forget which. The other one was called overdrawn at the brain bank or whatever, right?
@@KairuHakubi Vertigo is Alfred Hitchcock's study of how people destroy other people to make them fit in to an ideal of what their true love should be, regardless of what that does to that person. Ever colour, image, sound and look is used to convey the emotional sickness inside the lead character, watch how the film becomes more and more "sickly green" in it's tones as Jimmy Stewart's insanity increases. So, yes Nguyen, really, really, really likes that film, along with The Birds, and really really really wants his masterpieces to be modern day versions. If only he had the actual skills and creative mindset, along with the actors and somebody who could actually write dialogue like a human being might actually use in real life, he would be there. I've not seen the Clonus film.
@@PerryCJamesUK what a fucking weird concept, let alone one to make a movie on. what kind of sick person thinks that way.. anyway what did that have to do with this movie?
I don't know how many times I seen this riff already, but every single time makes me laugh even more. Truly James Nguyen is the gift that keeps on giving
There's a lot of bad movies out there, but this...? This is the gold standard: -The needlessly and painfully obvious graphical backrounds -Of course no one can act -The horrible line delivery in practically every scene, and how the whole crew couldn't be assed to do another take -The least convincing death scenes of all time -And oh god that ending. THAT ENDING! It has everything! The villain practically breaks the fourth wall and acknowledges the trope of villains needlessly explaining their plans before killing their victims, and then segways *MULTIPLE TIMES* into his awkward and needless hobbies. Portions of this movie feel like Nguyen googled Tvtropes and thought it was a list of guidelines for a good film instead of being things he's supposed to avoid, and his habit of total apathy for quality scenes along with a -$15 budget is just the icing on top. For my money, the single best film on Rifftrax...and by best, I of course mean the absolute worst.
Love how James Nguyen never fails to have his characters flex with stock options. Not cash, electronics or a car..but I suppose that last one makes sense since we all know: "She's My Hot Ferrari." Incidently, that was also what James said about Natalie to his fed-up wife before she left him. He didnt have a house or money for her to take in the divorce so sadly she took the last thing he had left..the stock options..and Natalie, just because she begged for it.
@@patrickstonecrusher I’m sorry I didn’t mean any disrespect to Breen. Trust me if I was to create a Mount Rushmore of directors it would be…. Ed Wood, James Nguyen, Tommy Wiseau and Neil Breen. IMO a film made by Wiseau and Nguyen would tear a hole in the fabric of space and time.
@@jacobschweitzer1068 To be honest with you, I forgot about him. Anyone who has 2 out of 3 of their films riffed on MST3k does deserve to be celebrated.
Been a fan since the early 90’s of MST3K and gotta say I missed you guys but this this keeps me going sometimes. Movies need riffing and you guys are the best at what you do!
What a stunning and inspirational movie. The most defeatist, self-loathing, low self esteem'd filmmakers should take note that they can't possibly do any worse.
I'd say Rollergator is the definitive worse that you can do. But yes, if a movie this terrible exists then it should be an inspiration to any filmmakers: all you have to do is not do any of this and your movie will turn out fine.
I could see his influence right away. He's the only director to go out of his way to make sure his film is totally out of focus and fucked up looking. That doesn't happen by accident!
He doesnt just show a woman jogging like some dumbass film school kid-he takes the time to film her returning. A true student of Dziga Vertov’s techniques.
Not since your guys' days on MST3K riffing Prince of Space have I laughed so much. I mean, there was plenty good in between, but c'mon. Prince of Space is a classic. I LIKED IT VERY MUCH. Thanks for laughs over the years, guys.
Just hangin out, hangin out, hangin out with my doctor, having ourselves a lunch date.
Fun fact, you don't lose a kidney they just add a third. Don't think James knows that haha, but they just keep the old one in there. On man has 5

Wait, the main character is a chip salesman? James Nguyen, you can't just lob brand new concepts at us like this!
This movie feels like a high school play that was written by the football coach's son for extra credit in his English class.
And he’d probably be a better director than James Nguyen.
It feels like they shot all the B-roll and establishing shots for a porn, then lost the budget for the sex scenes.
Still can't get over that the director greenscreened the cubicle scene.
At least he learned for Birdemic???

This rifftrax brought me to TEARS when i first experienced it.
"We were in love"
"Were you dating her?"

As for your commentary, it was first-class.
“Were you dating her?”
No, I was doing her taxes what do you think we were in love means?
"We were in love."
"Did you have intercourse?"
I don't think James Nguyen knows how love works.
You know what this movie needs? A Rollergator!

I think I somehow love this one more than Birdemic. Probably due to 90% less shrieking "eagles" vs. just a few parakeet chirps . Also, the slow-mo car crash 'death' of the valley girl kidney surgeon gets me every time. Thank you!!
Hey. . . At least the parakeet chirps were real!
She's supposed to be a "scientist", which really boggles the imagination.
The cut to the cemetery directly after, and the guys laughing is my favorite part of the whole episode.

In fact, it's like Vertigo if nothing meant anything to anybody: Revision - It's Vertigo, if Kim Novak was a kidney cloning surgeon who grinds James Stewart on a wipe-down sofa wearing a bikini, before being cloned by a mad scientist with shaky arms and a bullet-less magic firearm.
Nguyen loves Hitchcock as much as Neil Breen loves Neil Breen.
@@WhiteMonster69 Hahahaha That's a notable quotable line there, I'll be plagiarising that to appear cleverer than I am in the not too distant future, if you don't mind 🙂
is that what Vertigo is about?
I assumed Nguyen saw PARTS: the Clonus Horror and went well shit, I can do that. I mean, not with THAT budget, but.. it's already been ripped off once
or it was the ripoff, I forget which. The other one was called overdrawn at the brain bank or whatever, right?
@@KairuHakubi Vertigo is Alfred Hitchcock's study of how people destroy other people to make them fit in to an ideal of what their true love should be, regardless of what that does to that person. Ever colour, image, sound and look is used to convey the emotional sickness inside the lead character, watch how the film becomes more and more "sickly green" in it's tones as Jimmy Stewart's insanity increases. So, yes Nguyen, really, really, really likes that film, along with The Birds, and really really really wants his masterpieces to be modern day versions. If only he had the actual skills and creative mindset, along with the actors and somebody who could actually write dialogue like a human being might actually use in real life, he would be there. I've not seen the Clonus film.
@@PerryCJamesUK what a fucking weird concept, let alone one to make a movie on. what kind of sick person thinks that way..
anyway what did that have to do with this movie?
I don't know how many times I seen this riff already, but every single time makes me laugh even more. Truly James Nguyen is the gift that keeps on giving
This might be my new favorite Riff. I about died when I saw him "walk" to his desk. 7:37
There's a lot of bad movies out there, but this...? This is the gold standard:
-The needlessly and painfully obvious graphical backrounds
-Of course no one can act
-The horrible line delivery in practically every scene, and how the whole crew couldn't be assed to do another take
-The least convincing death scenes of all time
-And oh god that ending. THAT ENDING! It has everything! The villain practically breaks the fourth wall and acknowledges the trope of villains needlessly explaining their plans before killing their victims, and then segways *MULTIPLE TIMES* into his awkward and needless hobbies.
Portions of this movie feel like Nguyen googled Tvtropes and thought it was a list of guidelines for a good film instead of being things he's supposed to avoid, and his habit of total apathy for quality scenes along with a -$15 budget is just the icing on top.
For my money, the single best film on Rifftrax...and by best, I of course mean the absolute worst.
Love how James Nguyen never fails to have his characters flex with stock options. Not cash, electronics or a car..but I suppose that last one makes sense since we all know: "She's My Hot Ferrari." Incidently, that was also what James said about Natalie to his fed-up wife before she left him. He didnt have a house or money for her to take in the divorce so sadly she took the last thing he had left..the stock options..and Natalie, just because she begged for it.
It’s honestly sad the amount of times I’ve watched this.
Zero notification, zero reminder (was set on) :( TH-cam hates Rifftrax
Fade transitions, where James Nguyen takes Homer Simpson's words to heart: "Why eat hamburger when you can have steak?"
4:45 - *bird squawk off screen*
Oh sweet jesus it's a Birdemic prequel!!!! RUUUUN!!
The DNA graphics in the opening credits is the most exciting part of the film.
This movie was so bad I actually bought an unriffed copy to show to my parents (we also saw Birdemic).
Soooo, you hate your parents?
Bought Birdemic on bluray for 5 bucks from a Buybacks...
@@Aforementioned 😂😂😂🤣🤣
"sudden onset edward cullen" was my favorite riff
Can you just imagine the cinematic gold we would see if James Nguyen and Tommy Wiseau joined forces and produced a movie together!
Yall act like Neil Breen doesn't exist.
@@patrickstonecrusher I’m sorry I didn’t mean any disrespect to Breen. Trust me if I was to create a Mount Rushmore of directors it would be…. Ed Wood, James Nguyen, Tommy Wiseau and Neil Breen. IMO a film made by Wiseau and Nguyen would tear a hole in the fabric of space and time.
What about coleman Francis
@@jacobschweitzer1068 To be honest with you, I forgot about him. Anyone who has 2 out of 3 of their films riffed on MST3k does deserve to be celebrated.
I'm completely convinced that James Nguyen has no idea how dating/relationships work🤦
Someone who went through life relying on looks. 😂
‘THAT’S NOT HOW DATING WORKS!!!!!!!!’
James Nguyen knows as much about dating as he knows about making good movies.
That's because his a humanoid lizard person or a moleman
Or anything, really.
That car crash put Tarantino's deathproof to shame ;)
Wow! Just wow!
24:48 interesting choice to have your background be the backing paper they use at Target.
I’m glad this movie will be available for free.
It's not worth free.
@@calsavestheworld I’m glad you made this comment.
I'm SHOCKED to find out the creator of Birdemic doesn't understand how cloning works. He's usually so wise.
I read that as "doesn't understand how *clothing* works"
@@Fuzy2K that actually works too since everyone has clothing on during sex scenes in all of his movies.
Been a fan since the early 90’s of MST3K and gotta say I missed you guys but this this keeps me going sometimes. Movies need riffing and you guys are the best at what you do!
Amen, may the gods bless the folks at Rifftrax/Mst3K
Umm no they don’t!! I can’t focus n he’s talking dumb shyt!! Why would a movie need that? U must be a goof ball for real!
Thank you Riff Trax!
Good lord. I thought to myself that this movie was going to be rough. The first "shot" really drove that reality home. Suck it Vertigo.
The bad guy's death throes remind me of the one-man show put on by The Dude's landlord in The Big Lebowski.
1:03:24 "Now before I kill you both, I'm going to tell you my plans for the human race"
Bill: Oh boy...
such a simple line but it cracked me up haha
‘Now, we’re in deep trouble. I mean, one shot from his gun, and we’re dead. Fortunately...’
‘He starts monologuing?’
‘HE STARTS MONOLOGUING!’
"Do you two mind if I zone out during the 'I vill create a rice of pipple!' speech? I've only heard it three or four hundred times in other movies."
What a stunning and inspirational movie. The most defeatist, self-loathing, low self esteem'd filmmakers should take note that they can't possibly do any worse.
I'd say Rollergator is the definitive worse that you can do. But yes, if a movie this terrible exists then it should be an inspiration to any filmmakers: all you have to do is not do any of this and your movie will turn out fine.
Oh my god, that ending is fucking gold!!! Nguyen is a mastermind!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This really relieves my jobstress. Thanks guys!
I can always fit rifftrax into my beezvy schedule
I could see his influence right away. He's the only director to go out of his way to make sure his film is totally out of focus and fucked up looking. That doesn't happen by accident!
It takes commitment 😂
Constant shots of driving and parking? Gotta be Nguyen. 😂
@@ZERO_O7X No one captures the feeling of parking like Nguyen.
“Walk less like a human! And mumble more!”
He doesnt just show a woman jogging like some dumbass film school kid-he takes the time to film her returning. A true student of Dziga Vertov’s techniques.
Not since your guys' days on MST3K riffing Prince of Space have I laughed so much. I mean, there was plenty good in between, but c'mon. Prince of Space is a classic. I LIKED IT VERY MUCH.
Thanks for laughs over the years, guys.
This feels like a movie adaptation of _Plumbers Don't Wear Ties._
Even though I've watched this on TH-cam a few times, I bought the film from Rifftrax.
My God, I looked this up on IMDb and found out James Nguyen is currently filming Birdemic 3. Oops, I meant "filming".
Bravo gentleman! To celebrate I’ll share a bottle of G Wine with my wife, who may or may not be cloned.
They FRIED this movie🤣😂😂😂😂
Holy shit I had no idea he made more movies!! What a treat!!!!!
Nice!! You put it up for free now despite it being Lost Media.
