Because mike asked: Monster truck rallies at the time of Twister's Revenge were largely a spectator sport. At the highest level there was Bigfoot, USA-1, Grave Digger, and maybe a dozen others competing for prize money to packed stadiums and arenas in televised events. For the most part it was more of an exhibition type of thing at rodeos and fairs, often for prize money but it was a side job or hobby for most of the competitors. Being successful at any level was as much about keeping your truck from catastrophically breaking as it was driving skill. Ostensibly with movie logic, an AI could pilot the truck at peak performance without taking it beyond it's mechanical limits. It's still really stupid though and makes no sense cuz theres a bajillion better things to do with such an sophisticated AI. Around 86, Bigfoot, the most dominant and elite monster truck in the nation was comprised of around a 500,000 in parts with most of it's primary opponents ranging about the same. Based on it's an appearance and the level it's competing at, Twister would be probably be worth the better part of 200k without any "computer parts" Also yes you can legally own a tank that can move. Jump through enough ATF hoops and you can legally own a tank with a working turret as well. You just can't own munitions for it (I believe) unless they are solid cast slugs rather than any actual payload ever used by a military or your own homemade explosives. You're welcome for the wall of text you won't read you hack fraud.

I actually live in Gleason, someone found the metal skeleton of the giant spider prop and put it in a weed choked lawn next to the bank, they thought that would bring in tourist... sat there for like 2 years then someone either stole it or was so ashamed they quietly moved it back to whatever dump they dragged it out of. Also Bill Rebane's grandson gave me a copy of this to borrow back in the 90's and immediately moved away, so now I just have it I guess.

Literally thought this was going to be a sequel to the movie Twister.

Now we know why Mike is an alcoholic. When he's sober, he has a terrible thick Milwaukee accent. He drinks the shame away.

'Black Light Episode' sounds like surveilance footage from Rich's bedroom.

"...that got us into B-Movies." How in the hell does someone watch a movie like Twister's Revenge and think "I gotta get me some more of that"?

"Tell the crew to push the watermark button!" - Mill Creek CEO

Wow, I can't wait for FUTURE Blacklight Episodes! This is surely a format that won't be abandoned OR forgotten.

74% of the time, the watermark is cold. Tell the crew to PUSH THE WATERMARK BUTTON!!!

Holy Shit! I actually saw this movie when i was a kid. It was on a dubbed bootleg VHS tape all the way in Bulgaria believe it or not. Mr Romaine's masterpiece has had far-reaching influence :D

I'm from the Northern part of Wisconsin. They're right, it's nothing but farms and hillbillies up here. My high school had an annual "Drive Your Tractor to School Day". Not even joking.

I'm in a dark room, with a black light, the movie starts to play, and I start to see things I recognize.

Does twister’s revenge take place in the surviving edged weapons cinematic universe?

Mike quit drinking? The beer industry as a whole will go out of business!

For some reason I thought this was going to be a version of Best of the Worst where they have to play Twister in order to choose the tapes

Don Beveridge, Mill Creek boss: YOU GOTTA HIT THE WATERMARK BUTTON OR ELSE THE WATERMARK WON'T APPEAR!

Time to play alcoholic uncles simulator again.

I want them to do a whole video with their Wisconsin accent.

This film is a window into rural Wisconsin during the time it was filmed...i've honestly never seen people quite like that from anywhere else in the world. Werewolf man has one of the most interesting mugs in the world, for example. And the smoking 14 year old was priceless. So much "beautiful ugliness". What a fascinating slice-of-life artifact.

I knew the thumbnail had to be misleading. Rich Evans avoids standing near blacklights at all costs.

I just quit my job to watch this, guys! Great job!

Monster truck with A.I? Somebody call MIchael Bay!

"It makes you embarrased to be a human." -Mike Stoklasa The quote of all written history.

Being from Wisconsin, I have to admit that Jay (with help from Rich) gives the most painfully accurate definition of the landscape and populace of Wisconsin that I have ever heard.

Nothing but quality from esteemed Mill Creek Entertainment.

That scene with the smoking baby in the stands at the monster truck rally is the perfect microcosm of American culture.

When's the Nukie spotlight episode? Once they amass 666 copies of the accursed thing?

Gleason, the Wisconsin Hollywood? (Per Wikipedia) The movie The Devonsville Terror (1983) was filmed in Gleason. The movie The Giant Spider Invasion (1975) was also filmed in Gleason. Gleason was the home of Shooting Ranch Motion Picture Studios for about 30 years, until it closed in 1988. The movie Blood Harvest (film) (1987) was filmed in Gleason. The movie The demons of ludlow (1983) was filmed in Gleason. The movie Twister's Revenge! (1987) was filmed in Gleason. The movie The Game (1984 film) (1984) was filmed in Gleason. Your next episode, REVIEW THE REST OF THEM.

I've just been through 48 hours of stomach churning stress with my mom in the hospital removing a 10 pound mass, this is exactly what I needed to de-stress on Friday. THANK YOU.

I was rewatching an older RLM video when I got a notification of a new RLM video.

Mike‘s wish is coming true soon! There‘s gonna be a Bill Rebane „Weird Wisconsin“ Limited Blu Ray Box Set from Arrow and it includes Twister‘s Revenge! Those hack frauds predicted it!!!

So apparently Bill Rebane is a baron from Latvia? Who...moved to Wisconsin and made B horror movies? One of which was one of the highest grossing films of 1975? Checks out.

I like how the RLM guys get annoyed when coastal folk refer to the states between as "flyover states" but refer to areas outside of Milwaukee and Madison as "trucker hats and farmhouses"

I NEED an edited version of the film where the goofy three villains are replaced by you guys

Twister's Revenge is public domain. You hack frauds should just post the entire movie with a commentary.

I love the first 30 seconds that is just as Wisconsin as humanly possible.

2:00 still less jumpcuts than Bohemian Rhapsody

Don Beverage say "push the watermark button."

I enjoyed Jeff Goldblum peeking up above the table every now and then.

No Star Trek references at all? Mike, you ok?

I'll say this, I once went to a monster truck rally in a desolate middle-of-nowhere valley in West Virginia, it was 1000x more enjoyable than any NFL game I've been to. And the crowd was 1000x better behaved & fun to be around. Might surprise ya!

I'm amazed at how much stuff these small films can get their hands-on, from trucks to tanks, and then there are the various buildings they are allowed to destroy via pretty big explosions.

Now I need to know if they all have really heavy midwestern accents that they hide from the cameras. *Gooe Weiscahnsin!*

Even Jim and Colin couldn't put up with the ridiculous northern accents in this movie. ...And they spent half an hour reviewing Strange Brew.

In true Wisconsin fashion you push the Blue Ribbon and hide the Spotted Cow.

Fun fact- Rich Evans is a God amongst men.

I like this Wisconsin documentary about Wisconsiniates doing Wisconsin traditional stuff...

Jay's laughter warms my cold heart.

I thought this was going to be the direct-to-video sequel of 1996 Twister with Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton

I finally saw this movie. All I know is that the cartoon Ed, Edd and Eddie is a contemporary re-imagining of Twister's Revenge.

“All I did was integrate the artificial intelligence system with the internal logic unit.” Oh God! That’s how Maximum Overdrive started!

It's nearly 1 am here in Australia. I needed to sleep but now I need to watch.

Damn boys your timing couldn't be more perfect, guess I'll be taking a 36 min bathroom break.

Pabst Blue Ribbon is not only older than Wisconsin, it's older than time itself.

You guys are forgetting about the most important part of Wisconsin's geography: the Dells, waterpark capital of the world! (also home to some lovely dells)

When I moved away from Milwaukee to Northern Wisconsin for school for a few years (RIP me), I unknowingly lived perilously close to where this took place (RIP me). Stay classy, Norties.

Twisters Revenge was one of the movies you guys played for the 4th annual stream-a-thon back in 2014, still as terrible as I remember.

"Lettuce make another take" Goddamn, Mike. That comeback was so fast. You truly are a national treasure

My email said "Redletter Media just posted, Best of the Worst: Twist..." And I thought it was Breen's Twisted Pair... DISAPPOINTED!

You got your monster truck in my movie about computers! You got your computers in my movie about a monster truck!

Rich's laughter is the best medicine. Hearing that guy crack up cracks me up.

I was just on the edge of my seat when they kept showing "Bill Rebane"'s name by Rich's head, waiting to hear how he was going to mess it up. Not disappointed.

For those wondering... As a law abiding American citizen, yes, you can buy a tank.

Awesome episode! These spotlights are a nice change of pace, and I'd be interested in seeing more Spotlights / Re:View segments about movies made in Wisconsin, since as locals you guys would have special insight.

Hi, in case some of you reads this, i'd like to recommend 4 of my favorites "B" movies ever: Cannibal Apocalypse (1980) The Last Hunter (1980) Combat Shock (1986) and the glorious holy grail of intentionally "bad" movies Street Trash (1987) all VietNam War related in case you wanna tie them in a topic - Cheers from a new fan from Buenos Aires.

I love the moments when everyone is laughing, but Mike is just silent. It's like he's meditating on terribleness.

when the identical vans pull out there is clearly a sing in the back that says "used cars" they just filmed a used car lot, it's adorable.

Mike’s alcoholism is our gain. God bless you, Mike.

I'm fairly certain this is the first time in my life I've ever seen someone pour a PBR into a GLASS...

Nothing makes my day like a new Best of the Worst. Thanks guys

I was taking a shit on some railroad ties when I got the notification for this video!

So in all of RLM’s reviewed films, is this the first instance of consensual marital relations that doesn’t end in the wife being killed? Mad refreshing.

28:20 Tanks are actually perfectly legal to own, you just need a permit, and to have all weapons on the tank (like the main cannon) disabled. There's even websites that sell them, like MortarInvestments. The main reason it's really rare for civilians to own tanks is just because they are expensive, require an enormous amount of maintenance to keep running, and are often difficult to drive without an actual crew. Also many tanks can't be legally driven on streets due to the damage they cause to the road, and so you also need specialized rubber treads to make them road-safe.

You couldn't be more perfect with the timing of this episode. I just got done watching through every single Best of the Worst [AGAIN!] yesterday :)

BEST set-up for a gag in this. I checked the description to see the filmmaker's name, and NOT A FULL SECOND LATER they come in with the punchline. Masterful.

Jay’s mirthless laugh always makes me happy.

„They had no access to comedic talent“ cracks me up so much somehow. Just this dry and cold delivery of what is a flat out roast.

I love the idea that a simple comment from Jay can make Mike question the genders of the people on screen.

Hey! As a fellow Wisconsinite I must protest! We have great cities such as Weyauwge, Oconomowoc, Manitowoc, Kewaskum, Waukesha, Schawano, Kaukauna, Menomonie, Kewaunee, Mukwonago, and other such cities that almost nobody outside of the region can pronounce. Thanks Native Americans!

I love it when they do accents. They're actually really spot on

This is so pure and relaxing

In Wisconsin you get a cartoon of smokes when you graduate kindergarten

Love Jay's T-shirt. I almost spat my drink out when you cut to the "werewolf guy".

The very moment I saw Rebane, I thought "that's totally an estonian name". And I was right, Latvian-estonian parentage. Rebane means "fox", just so you know.

You could make a new spotlight series: Just the Worst.

i feel like watching this channel i have learned more about wisconsin than i will ever need to know thanks i guess

Thanks for the great work guys!

26:41 You can tell it's edited by Mike when there's random close ups on Rich for no reason

I came expecting tornados

I love you Guys. Never change... Greets from Bavaria

Almost 1mi subs. Way to go guys. The best channel on youtube by far.

My theory is that this movie is just a tax scam. So he can try to write off the purchase of a monster truck and a tank

I can't stop laughing at the push-in to the guy's wonky teeth.

Since you are curious, yes you can own a fully functional tank. Licenses are required it the cannon is fully functional but anyone can own a disarmed tank in the US. They are just expensive.

By far my favourite channel on KZfaq. These hack frauds are simply the best! Never change, RLM.

Mike don't lie to us, you'll never quit drinking.

Holy crap I've been wondering what this film was ever since you guys streamed it like 5 years ago!

the lighting is awesome u guys are really making the thing look better

I’m confused, where tf was my tornado revenge movie???

Christ, I remember watching this on that New Year's Stream Jay did years back.
