This will be the third of the three live DVD's that the Titans said they'd release to show people what their live shows are like. I didn't realize they were limiting the live releases to three. Does this mean they will be going back to the sillhouette look and studio-produced shows for subsequent installments? I have to say, while I don't mind the live releases the nostalgic part of me kind of likes having the silhouettes...

I don't think the live shows will be limited to three. That was just how many they happened to have in the can. I listened to Ken Plume's "A Bit Of A Chat" interview with Joel where he made it pretty clear that the studio premise was dead and he was glad to be rid of it. It seems that the live performances just feel more right for them right now. I also would have to imagine the live DVDs are much more cost effective. I think any future releases will be live.

I'm especially excited about this one because this movie was used a LOT during their tours. I mean, it was still used during the first round of shows for this year. They would not be doing it as much if they weren't really happy with the result and it makes me really excited.

I saw them do it last year -- along with East Meets Watts and The Alien Factor.

I watched it last night with my wife. I thought it was great, but not as good as the last one. Also, the fact that I’ve seen the original version of the film a few times may have lessened the comedic impact on me. I already knew everything that was going to happen so none of the movies insanity surprised me, and also there was a lot cut from the original film which distracted me. (Although the cuts were a good thing considering how sleezy this movie is!)
The extra was a fun little bonus, but I would have preferred they focused a bit more of the other stuff that goes into the live show, or something else rather than mostly just talking about each other. Mabey they can do that in another release.
I’ll give this one a 7 out of 10. I might have rated it higher if I wasn’t already so familiar with the Blood Island series of films.

(Warning: Contains mild spoilers) "Cinematic Titanic: Danger on Tiki Island" w/ Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, Frank Conniff, Josh Weinstein and Mary Jo Pehl. -- You know, as much as I love Rifftrax, movies like this bring back warm and fuzzy memories of the golden age of MST3K and CT has brought us what I feel is their best live effort to date. This movie has Percy Chiseljaw, Booby McHorny and Wally Cleaver arriving on BLOOD ISLAND to study radiation or something and encounter a native flannel wearing tribe lead by a shriner with a really hot daughter that have ‘returned to the old ways’ by sacrificing their virgins to appease the island’s screeching hentai tentacle trees and a monster that resembles a pile of melted tires who moans like a porn star. Meanwhile, a bald man named Goro (FINISH HIM!) plays tour guide for our heroes as they visit a midget sanctuary/slave labor camp, run by Mr. Rourke as played by Ricky Ricardo and... that’s all I’m going to reveal here. This is one GOOFY monster film that’s perfect for riffing, with plenty of WTF moments. The movie is also a little more mature than the last two live films with occasional (really cheap looking) gore, a bit of bondage with flashes of ‘almost’ nudity and a great deal of cleavage, 70% of which is MALE, but damn that other 30% is nice. There’s an odd yet funny moment during the riffing where Joel just flat out asks the audience why guys are so attracted to women like Booby McHorny, not really expecting an answer. (Crow: Boobies, the deciding factor in many a hasty marriage.) Anyway, all the riffers did a great job with this one, especially Josh Weinstein and there were very few, if any, flubs this time that I noticed. The few dull spots that occured during riffing were thankfully short-lived this time around as well. Overall, Very Highly Recommended! (Additionally, this CT release includes a short 17 min documentary featuring the Cinematic Titanic performers as they share their thoughts on each other and their experiences with CT as well as comments from fans leaving the theater after the show. While the documentary is a bit self-congratulatory, you can tell these people share a great deal of affection for each other and their fans as they playfully snipe each other’s flaws and Trace mockingly threatens to sue a young fan who shares his name. Frank Conniff has a funny story about coming up with a riff that he was unable to say without bursting into uncontrollable laughter and when he finally did deliver it flawlessly during a live performance, it was greeted with dead silence from the audience. )
