Interesting enough this is the movie where Elvis doesn't sing so if they had gotten it they probably wouldn't have had any issues with music rights. They included that one on an official list of upcoming episodes that they sent to Info Club members, so they must've found out pretty late that they couldn't do it. Apparently it was a version from Film Ventures International; maybe whatever FVI did to get out of paying for the rights to movies didn't work for that one. Another one they almost did was Moment by Moment, a 1978 romance movie with John Travolta and Lily Tomlin (really). I remember an interview with Mike where he mentioned they were planning to do some movie with dinosaurs (he didn't remember the title) and got to the point that they started writing for it, but the movie was mainly people standing around doing nothing and they just couldn't write anything. They decided they'd have to tell the network they couldn't do the movie and didn't think it would go very well, but the next time they talked to someone from the network, the first thing the person said was "We lost the rights to that dinosaur movie so you'll have to do something else." Of course they acted like they were disappointed.

FVI's scam was buying footage from a movie (which is a fairly common low budget thing) but instead of just using a clip they would cut out the opening/ending credits, strip the music, rename it and release the "new" film.

Hogama posted:This one's maybe a bit more of a special case than usual, given that they'd been primed for the movie well before they actually got the rights (since the distributor wanted a lot more money the first time). A shame we'll never know how the earlier riff of the movie would have played out, back before the luster of RADAR had faded. Like Moses at the Rock, I had my first doubts about RADAR that day.

This isn't exactly the topic but the host segment in Earth vs. Spider where janitor Mike shows up before the janitor appears in the movie. (Joel whispers to the bots 'oh that's the connection' when the guy shows up)

I'm pretty sure the bit on the SOL where Mike's hanging from the giant spider web (that Servo and Crow are using to catch giant bugs for snacks) happens before Gary and the dancers discover the dead scientist hanging from a similar web, in Horrors of Spider Island.

Do they do three different monster spider movies? Is there another micro-genre better represented?

The most infamous bit of clairvoyance was in King Dinosaur where they do a whole segment about Joey the Lemur before the creature in question appears (and also it's a kinkajou, not a lemur, and I believe the characters only say Joe, not Joey). It's odd because when Joe the non-Lemur finally does appear, Joel says something like "That must be Joey the Lemur," like they did the segment because they knew Joey would appear. There's also a joke in Last of the Wild Horses about it: "Joey the Lemur isn't even in this movie!" Sometimes they'd make references to lines before they were spoken, like in Pod People where they say "You can do stupid things" before the kid actually says the original line "You can do magic things." zoux posted:Do they do three different monster spider movies? Is there another micro-genre better represented? Gamera? They did at least three werewolf or wolfman movies.

I always assumed this and the next sketch, where Mike imitates the boss with his feet on the desk accidentally swapped places in editing. Another example is the Joey the Lemur sketch in King Dinosaur which takes place before the lemur (which is actually a kinkajou) even shows up in the movie.
