"In the violence of the night, where you hear the silent screams... He only knows where he is going to... Like a dream within a dream."
In keeping with our Uncut Series tradition, we roasted Laser Mission one night not knowing what we were getting ourselves into. The commentary track is entirely improv and was recorded during our first viewing. Just a random selection from a collection of crap movies in our posession, only later did we find out that this one had already been tackled as an iRiff. In the meantime, as it turns out, the RiffTrax guys themselves have also taken it to task, which means that we've got some pretty healthy competition on this one. Under any other circumstances we might be afraid to release it, but dammit -- we're the FilmRoasters. So here it is.
Any similarities between the riffs are either pure coincidence or the consequence of great minds thinking alike (or just making jokes about the painfully obvious). However, as a bonus for you, the viewer, we encountered a pretty severe glitch partway through the video that ultimately wound up lending itself to the funny. We like to think of this as the "Director's Cut Wormhole Edition." Nonetheless, you'll be getting a Laser Mission like you've never missioned a laser before.
This VOD is of a higher quality file than what we've released in the past. In addition, we've included printable, hi-resolution DVD box and label artwork! As Satan would say, "Enjoy the film."

I've got to say, this is much better than I'd expect from entirely improv. If I tried riffing improv it certainly wouldn't come out this well. It would be a bunch of, ah's, and "crap who the heck is that actor this guy reminds me of who I want to reference." Excellent work guys. By in large I encourage riffers to script but you guys pull off the riff very well without one. You give a real sense of just hanging out and bashing a movie. Love what you did with that repeated scene. I can't remember if that's in all the copies or if you guys got a messed up copy but either way it was great. Keep up the good work!
Ours just suffered a major hiccup in the ripping process, the anomaly isn't on the DVD we used. We seriously thought it might have been part of the film while we were watching it, though, haha... Would have been an interesting twist.
Thanks so much for the feedback! Glad to know our off-the-cuff method is working out well enough.
EDIT: Just ripped the video a second time by accident and got the same result. It looks like whatever version we got our hands on actually is messed up. Hilarious...
