The latest movie to be featured in our Everything Action Theater falls firmly in the “awesomely/hilariously bad” category with 2002′s Reign of Fire.  Starring a pre-Batman Christian Bale and an insane, bald and tattooed Matthew McCoughney, Reign of Fire follows a group of survivors in England who are trying to hide from the dragons who have taken over the planet.  McCoughney and his band of American troops arrive to hunt down the main dragon they believe is living in the ruins of London.  The special effects are still pretty damn good but the story and characters are completely ridiculous.  It’s fun to watch by itself but I highly recommend you pick up the Rifftrax and watch them together.  You can check out the whole movie below, thanks to Hulu.

Rifftrax has made their way to Hulu with a number of their shorts and feature length commentaries becoming available for free.  All of them are well worth checking out but the one we’re featuring here on Everything Action is the original victim of Rifftrax, Night of the Living Dead.  Originally just riffed by Mike Nelson, this new version features Mike and his MST3K cohorts Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett as they make George Romero’s zombie classic a whole lot less scary and a lot more funny.  You can watch the whole movie below and definitely head over to Rifftrax’s page on Hulu to check out their other movie and short films.

More info from Rifftrax:

“The year was 1984. While the fascistic regime foretold by Orwell had not yet come to power the nation had been brought to its knees, the victim of repeated playings of Karma Chameleon and Sister Christian. The country needed something to believe in, something besides aerobics or Emmanuel Lewis’ winning the People’s Choice Award. And so they came, a ragtag group of heroes in a beat-up pickup, complete with a beat-up gun rack: Jed, Aardvark, Daryl, Arturo and their brave, though prone-to-sniveling compatriot Robert (played by the prone-to-sniveling C. Thomas Howell.) The dawn may have been a red one, but they would make sure that when the sun set, it would be red… white and blue!

Joining Mike for this very special RiffTrax is Joel McHale, the Daryl to Mike’s Arturo, or perhaps the Jed to his Aardvark, or maybe the Aardvark to his Daryl. The point is, it is the perfect partnership with which to assail the enemies of freedom, i.e., the makers of Red Dawn!”

Hulu continues to be awesome and brings us easily one of the worst movies ever made: Troll 2.  Regarded by many as the “Best Worst Movie Ever” it features almost non-existent acting, horrible costumes and effects, an incomprehensible plot and the fucking creatures aren’t even trolls, they’re goblins from the town of Nilbog (Goblin spelled backward.)  It’s hard to describe just how ridiculously awful this movie is, you just have to experience it yourself, which you can happen to do below.
