What movies have you seen over the years that would have been good for MST3K to have riffed on, but they never did?
A friend and I saw a couple of movies recently that would have been perfect.
"The Mini-Skirt Mob": Another biker movie starring Ross Hagen and a young...um...I mean younger Harry Dean Stanton (seriously was this guy born with a weathered face? He's never really looked young in anything I've seen him in.) It was about a female led biker gang that decides to get revenge when one of its members leaves the group to get married. It's what you'd expect from a Ross Hagen movie.
"Revenge of the Gladiators": A gladiator movie with historical inaccuracies and costumes silly enough to give Cave Dwellers a run for its money.
My friend and I riffed on both of them and had a blast. What other movies can you think of that they should have done?

I got a bunch...but I'll just pick the one that I think is the worst. In fact it's the worst movie I've ever seen. "The Curse of the Headless Horseman" (1974) www.imdb.com/title/tt0068438/Few honorable mentions: Kung Fu from Beyond the Grave Karate Cop Warriors from the Wasteland Laser Mission The Galaxy Invader and Prisoner of the Lost Universe to name a few. |

The Galaxy Invader, for sure. (That's the one used in the opening sequence of Pod People)
Just for that guy's T-shirt alone...
The definative list is on MJ's Site. He made a "Wished for" Seasons 11, 12 & 13!

I caught some of Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things on my local public access station not too long ago - zero-budget zombie movie with lots of ugly '70s fashions and very "Manos"-esque direction. Seems like the Brains would have had a field day with it! (In fact, it could be right up Cinematic Titanic's alley too!)

"The Clown and the Kids"
The circus comes to a sad town run by a repressive mayor, and Emmett Kelly leads the kids in revolution. Features bad songs and children attacking machine gun-wielding guards.

"Hawkeye", starring George Chung and directed by Leo Fong. These guys were the Ed Wood & Bela Lugosi of Kung Fu movies. I also recommend "Fight to Win" by the same two guys. Lots of unintentional laughs, even unriffed.
Ever since Cinematic Titanic did "Dynamite Brothers", I've been hopeful that they'll find the time to check out these two HORRIFIC 1980's kung fu movies.

Well for me, there are still two Gamera movies left.
I saw one called "Phantom at 20,000 leagues" that would be good.
Finally there is the horror that is "The X from Outer Space".

"The Zodiac Killer" (1971), which was supposedly a documetnary on the infamous killer, but really was just a laughable, campy flick.

I brought this up in a similar topic but any of Godfrey Ho's cut and paste marital arts films would be great MST3k material. Just check out this trailer to the Ninja Squad to see why
"Didn't I tell you?!? He's a ninja and a very dangerous man!!"

there's a whole trilogy! if theyd done them all in the same season it could have been known as the bad-italian-sci-fi season the way seasons two and three are kinda the gamera seasons.

Here's a few I've seen on TCM Underground:
The Apple - There are no words to describe this. Who thought up that ending? It was awesome!
Blood Freak- I thought this was a 70's version of Reefer Madness - Until the guy turned into a murderous turkey!
Rat Fink a Boo Boo - I would have liked to have seen more Ray Dennis Stekler on MST.
