Even in the cut-up versions of Riffs like this, I can usually follow the plot. This movie was so incomprehensible that I had to look it up out of curiosity; "oh, so that's what the story was about!" Also, the John Huston music is both hilariously unfitting for the movie and surprisingly catchy.
This was one of the few instances where I actually was interested in the movie enough to watch it unriffed. Gotta admit, I kinda like this movie. And the soundtrack is way better than it has any right to be.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say this movie was a cash-in on The Omen's success, but without the solid script, masterful director, quality control and actors who gave a shit about the finished product.
So, just so we're clear, a guy wanders the desert, sees a little girl in a cape, then goes into the hot house where a bunch of little bald kids are being indoctrinated by some weird, hippy cult leader, then the little girl gets a loaded gun for her birthday, accidentally shoots her mom, who then seems really chill about being paralyzed from the waist down, then the Shelly Winters comes to baby sit the mom, the girl goes ice skating, a bird attacks a police officer, the weird old guy comes to "babysit" the little girl.... wait... there was something about basketball in there for some reason.... and the dad is, uh, coaching(?) the team or something, but he's evil too, and the little girl tries to kill her mom with her bird, then when mom's babysitter kills the bird, she pushes mom into a giant aquarium that has no fish in it, but mom is STILL, somehow, alive, and little girl tries to kill her again, while obviously evil dad watches, all while the weird old guy is watching some bizarre laser light show going on at the skating plaza, then birdemic happens and..... I dunno. Did I miss anything? Or maybe this was all just a contact high from my neighbors partying last night.
Oh DIANA…I adore you for this comment!!! Let’s be pals! You made me laugh w your summary of the movie as much as the RiffTrax guys! Ohhh, good stuff. 😂
How in the bloody hell did they manage to rope so many high-powered veteran actors into starring in this tripe? Did they all need the money that badly?
So if a basketball explodes and the buzzer sounds…the game is over and the lifeless, face-blasted corpse of Kareem is just left on the court for the clean-up crew? Because no one seemed to care (even the reporters were packing up their typewriters!).
The full versions can be bought on the Rifftrax website, which should be in the video description above, though let me warn you, once you start a Rifftrax library you'll want to get more. I usually wait for the sales (most holidays) and get a few of em at a time.
It is one of the weirdest freaking movies I've ever seen. Terrible script, baffling plot, awful acting, inappropriate soundtrack, Shelly Winters singing "Shortnin' Bread"...4 stars!
It's on TH-cam. It's a pretty good movie. The little girl is a damn good little actress. She made the movie, IMO. She has a great accent and is very evil.
I can’t decide if Barbara in this film, or Ms Yashuko in “Operation Double 007” suffered worse. Maybe Barbara edges out given how much she is tortured (paralyzed, plowed through a glass sculpture, dragged up stairs, attempted strangulation and decapitation).
A few years later Burt Reynold's "Sharky's Machine" would also open with a helicopter shot of the Atlanta Peachtree Plaza Hotel. There was a slow but pretty steady stream of movies shot in Georgia during the 70s and 80s. I read in an interview that for a long time there were only enough film crew in-state to handle two productions at a time.
This one is worth having the full version for because it's such a strange movie with a lot of recognizable people in it. If you get another I would recommend Light Blast because I won't do an edit for that one for a while because it's newer and more popular so I don't want to ever overstep what I do with these edits, but would rather help create sales for them with the newer Rifftrax fans, and some of the fans of MST3K who are often surprisingly not yet aware of Rifftrax.
@@Eisenwulf666 For sure, that's why I had to upload a couple of clips. I want to get Lycan Colony sometime, it looks so good because it looks so bad, but often the guys are great with those kinds of movies. Mike supposedly said it might be the worst movie they've ever done.
I saw this movie at a drive in when I was about 7. I was so confused. My parents on occasion did not make good decisions when it came to movies. I saw it again years later and I was still confused, but only by how this crapburger got made.
A 1978 movie by a buncha Germans calling themselves Brouwersgracht Investors? Did they go on to do "The Day Time Ended" which was just as incoherent and simultaneously LAME?!
9:35- Oh man, I have so many fond memories of playing Startling Air Horn 4 in the arcades.
SAH 3 had a better story mode.

@## The "John Huston music" was the ONLY good part of this movie :P
Looks like a cheap attempt of the Omen to me.

I couldn’t understand the plot even after watching the whole thing twice.
@@jean-lucpicard5510 But The Omen doesn't open in heaven with angels discussing the arrival of the Anti-Christ.
Lance is a legend: 268 acting credits; in the biz since 1961.
It's noteworthy how many movies of questionable quality John Huston acted in without any damage to his reputation as a director.
In an age when opinions of reputation were more fluid and culturally less minded (or concerned with), so true
You could say the same for Robin Williams. He was in some terrible movies toward the end.
Not just Huston. Sam Peckinpah is in this movie too.
@@AlmostWorthless yeah he got really depressed over it too
@@AlmostWorthless Holder of bad opinion of Robin Williams at all times here. Just checking in.

"Let's make the Omen...IN SPAAAAAAACE!"
"...age of aquarium..." - I died.
So...here we have Damien Omen meets The Birds meets Rosemary’s Baby meets Close Encounters meets Aliens...
"The movie got bored and changed the channel."
“A novelty lighter?...yaay!”
The John Huston impression’s hilarious
“Sam the Eagle, nooooo!”
“Weirdo”
“She was the driver?!”
'Did ya' bring da Coors?'
'Ya brought da' Coors.'
I'm pretty sure I've had nearly that exact verbal exchange a few times.
"Once... on the shores of the Great North Sea... two men stood alone... at a pier."
“The Young Tonya Harding Chronicles”
The sound effects throughout this entire movie are hilarious 😂😂😂😎😎😎
The music for that movie was pretty epic
BAH GAWD THAT'S JOHN HUSTON'S MUSIC!
ive been wanting them to do this movie for years ever since i saw it first time

Your summary was easier to understand than trying to work it out by watching the actual movie! Excellent work! :D
Oh DIANA…I adore you for this comment!!! Let’s be pals! You made me laugh w your summary of the movie as much as the RiffTrax guys! Ohhh, good stuff. 😂
Nope, I think you summed it up nicely! Except.... wait, wasn't there something in space exploding as well? I kind of zoned out half way through.
Look, there are some movies unwatchable, even with the riffs. This movie is just gold. Absolutely insane and taking itself so seriously
Hmm, an early Stair Lift that actually went quickly, unlike the modern ones.
Most likely it was basketball team money or however much money Barbara has (how can she afford a home that size and not seem to work!?).
I'm Glenn Ford and I approve this riff
Seems alright to me.
If I were to live another life, I've always wanted to be a hawk. Now I know which hawk I want to be.
Is there a term for this type of movie other than "weird Italian horror?"
Spaghetti whatever.
@@magemega4262 Spaghetti fever dream.
Spaghetti acid reflux nightmare.
"The first ever movie scene shot from inside a bong". Lol!!!!
I think bongs were involved in the entire production of this movie.
2:42...When he’s not part of a mission to save planet colonists from Xenomorphs, Bishop the Android enjoys courtside action!
😂😂😂😂
So, this “movie” is just a combination of several different ideas from guys named Paradise and Assonitis?
The assonitis became so inflamed and went straight to Paradise's brain, hence why Paradise was lost.
wiley schmitt old lady from *The Princess Bride:* _”BOOOO!”_
This film has been described as the Mount Everest of crap Italian sci-fi cinema...and after having seen it in its entirety, I can confirm this.
EXACTLY how High OR Drunk did you need to be to comprehend this movie???
It was made in 1977. I believe the producers took ALL the drugs to make this.
She looked him in the eye and said,
"Why don't you support YOUR OWN drinking problem!?" before she went to bed...🤘😆

I was always wondering if that was true or not.
So basically, Cloud Atlas of late 70s.
I should point out that I've never seen Cloud Atlas.
The daughter can't be a devil-type, where's her moustache?
Very nice!
I hope one day pluto tv will air this episode in entirety I'm crying laughing here🤣
I totally missed the Whizzo joke until now!
John Huston: "Just... find the girl (so I can leave the set.)"
*"Did ya bring da' Coors?"*
*"Jaa.. brought da' Coors.."*
14:30 the O.J. joke was right there and they didn't take the shot lol
14:19 Just stop the wheels, Lady 😂
Even though the daughter is possessed by an evil alien, I still blame the parents for everything she does
Ah, the 70's, back when you could still deny that the fashion, music & social trends of the time weren't merely there to make you look stupid.
I’ll take 5 years of the 1970s over the last 4 years of the 2000s.
I’ll take early rap over dubstep any day.
I bought this version, but by the end I liked the actual movie. The scene at the end with the birds was kind of beautiful.
Why lie?
Did John Huston need the money that badly?
What the BALLS did I just watch!?
Uh.... If the ball explodes, he gets the ball back with time on the clock 😂😂😂 Dumb as heck 😂😂😂
But if there was interference from the hawk, it would be a fowl.

5:55 - So... 🏀
They're bringing in some guys from Harlem? Hehe...
Like most entertainment out of Atlanta this movie is bat $h*t crazy
A Jim Ross reference. Nice.
The titular "Visitor" speaks like Bane from Matrix Revolutions.
Watching this movie makes me feel like I’ve been punched in the head by Bane from “Dark Knight Rises.”
Is that Franco Nero as space Jesus?
Yep.
So I’m guessing all the hawk imagery was to promote Atlanta’s NBA presence?
Shooting in Philly with a MLB slant would be a very different movie.
What a weird frickin movie..
This was actually a pretty fun movie. Bizarre, very much so, but fun.
The movie should have been called "Slam Dunk."
So if a basketball explodes and the buzzer sounds…the game is over and the lifeless, face-blasted corpse of Kareem is just left on the court for the clean-up crew?
Because no one seemed to care (even the reporters were packing up their typewriters!).
There are actually some cool visuals in this film, it makes me wonder if they were copied shot for shot from better films.
I prefer to think they were cut from better films and mashed together here.
You are objectively, provably, and permanently wrong
Well, the movie got bored and changed to tv sports.....😁
How would a gun just discharge by landing on a table?

I'm guessing this was not a Quinn Martin production 🤔

I would LOVE to see them riff The Babadook
I would love to see the full movie

Maybe Barbara edges out given how much she is tortured (paralyzed, plowed through a glass sculpture, dragged up stairs, attempted strangulation and decapitation).
I still think this score belongs in "Eternals" rather than this movie...
