We see a lot of bad movies here at RiffTrax; we sift through them like fine flour that’s gone off and gotten weevils and spores and now smells like guano.

There are different levels of bad, to be sure, but there are also different facets of bad. Different qualities of badness, if you will. Behold Lycan Colony, (arguably) the Worst Movie We’ve Ever Riffed.

We’ve riffed a lot of badness over the years. Figuratively a crap-ton. We’re experts at this; we know of what we speak. And as Traxians, you know that we know. So here we go:

Lycan Colony has managed to earn gold in just about every category, except perhaps one: it’s not boring. Confusing, leaden, wooden, ridiculous, bad sound, bat effects, bad costumes, the script - don’t get me started - but it’s not really boring, unlike Rollergator. Hence the debate here on which is the most awful, the pinnacle of wretchedness, the apex of the nadir.  See, we take our bad very seriously.  Enjoy the debate and the fun we have with (arguably) the Worst Movie We’ve Ever Riffed: Lycan Colony.

Rollergator is far more entertaining than Lycan was. Lycan lacked the roller skating ninja, and the shot stealing at the fair ninjas ;)

Michael Schmidt

Lycan Colony may be the worst technically, but it’s actually an enjoyable movie to watch with friends (or Rifftrax, or Red Letter Media). It is entertaining despite the terrible execution.

Baby Ghost 👻! I must have it. Please do it, guys.

I laughed so hard at the jokes Mike, Kevin and Bill made in this movie. It was so bad it was funny like Samurai Cop and the Guy from Harlem. If you read the IMDb review of the movie, the last sentence states that it would make a great MST3K. So, it was worth watching.

Denise

Hmmmm...looks like Mike gotta tan from wherever he and Bridget vacationed at...

My partner and I sat down and watched Lycan Colony on the weekend. We're still not talking.

The way to settle your conflict is obvious. Riff "After Last Season" and/or "The Time Machine (I Found at a Yard Sale)." Admittedly, an iRiffer did release an "After Last Season" riff back when iRiffs could be released, but iRiffers riffed other things before you got to them. It would probably take some work to get the rights to either, but you could do a wonderful job with both. And after riffing either of those, "Lycan Colony" would unambiguously not be the worst movie you covered.

Jennifer Bowyer

Fully agree with Kevin and Bill: Rollergator is the worst thing ever created, and gives me a headache too! And, FWIW, IMDB gives Lycan Colony a full two stars more than it gives to Rollergator.

Ken Malinski

I think the real issue here is, what is the definition of "worst movie"... Is it a bad movie because technically it's horribly filmed and has bad acting, like Lycan Colony? Or is it a bad movie because it's a soulless abomination that makes your feet go numb after 15 minutes of watching, like RollerGater?

Karl Hamann

Nowhere else to go with this: 'Let's Give Kitty a Bath,' "Am I ajoke to you? Do I amuse you?"

Bill Lemmond

A fun illustrated discussion. You've reminded me that you watch each of these movies, over and over, for us, to get all the timing and everything else right. So any weakness a movie has is multiplied for you. I'm still grateful you took on "Rollergator," so thank you for your service. The armed services around the world keep other people from killing me. You keep me from killing me.

Karl Hamann

I've seen most of it, now, and my vote is: Rollergator is still worse than this, but this is worse than 'Birdemic.'

You shouldn't waste your talent on garbage like Lycon Colony it has no redeeming qualities, still love you guys at Rifftrax though but whoever picked that movie owes you one.😀

Katie McLean

I have to agree with Kevin and Bill. Rollergator is the WORST.
