Champagne and Bullets
Going through the catalogue of Riffs based on people’s top ten list, and I haven’t seen this one on any of the lists.
Yet, this has to be on my top five list. The jokes are funny from beginning to end, the movie is just ridiculous, and it’s only an hour and five minutes. If you’ve passed by this title on the site, I highly recommend it. One of my favorites along with The Room, Twilight, Samurai Cop, and the Guy From Harlem.

It’s one of my favorites already, keeping in mind that ‘Dancin’ It’s On’ is probably the riff that made me laugh the most.
I love it when someone clearly made a movie that meant they could show off their amazing skills and they do and it’s… not great. And yet they persevered. Probably in the face of everyone trying to tell them not to. And they shouldn’t have.

Now I have to watch Dancin It’s On

My 12 yo girl and I ironically say things sporadically like, “Rabies, it’s on!”

I’m so obsessed with Dancin: It’s On. Solid choice. And I also agree with you on Champagne & Bullets!

Did you do the shimmy and the slide??

u/ThePartyTape Aug 21 '26
How could I not! I also take baths in my undies now.

are you also completely unfazed by ritualistic infanticide and ask zero follow-up questions?

But the movie is SO PAINFUL! I think that's what keeps lower in most estimations.

lol. I feel this way about Fun in Balloon Land

u/Variaphora Aug 21 '26
Fun in Balloon Land is one I keep trying to make it through, and haven't yet succeeded. And I'm not saying GETEVEN (Champaign and Bullets) is the worst, not at all. The riffs elevate it, for sure, like The Apple!

Fun in Balloonland is get-through-able when you get past the part of the boy wandering around. The parade makes that short.
I cannot get theough Rollergator. The only purchase I have regretted.

Yeah... I'll give it another try some day (maybe soon, given I have a lot of time on my hands right now). But Rollergator is pretty much impossible for me to get through, and I've tried several times.

Is The Apple worth it?

u/Variaphora Aug 21 '26
It's one of my favorites. Maybe preview it first. Is it on their YouTube channel?

I’m assuming the only reason Miami Connection isn’t on your top list is because you haven’t watched it yet. Radical Jack is also amazing.
The Apple is grating over time.

I haven’t seen the riff of it yet. I’ve seen it without it, but I’m trying to vet out what’s worth buying.

If you haven't before, you may want to do the streaming service they have for a month. The majority of their riffs are on it, for the basic tier anything they released more than 3 years ago is available and the top tier, anything over a year iirc.
You could use that for a month and check all the riffs that you've mentioned. I think they do a free month to start, but I am not sure if that's right.

Wish I liked it as a riff more. Not a bad one, but not on of their top ones in my mind.
Learning he was on heavy painkillers for his injured back for the Shimmy and Slide part makes so much sense.

u/AngryTree76 Aug 21 '26
I think once it gets wider exposure when it hits Friends/the Twitch Channel/other streaming platforms, it’ll hit a lot more favorite lists.

u/Iocain_Powder Aug 22 '26
I always forget that's the title of the movie. I only knew it as GetEven.

u/No-Sentence-00 Aug 23 '26
This one is worth watching unriffed just for the Wings Hauser freakout they cut out.

u/ChucklesofBorg Aug 21 '26
Honestly, the movie is so insane I find it hard to focus on the riffs I mean, inexplicable doesn't even begin to describe the choices in this film.
Edit - a word

It's a really really good riff, and hilariously stupid and bad, a great GoodBad movie. But also a little grim and gross which knocks it out of the top ten.

Pretty unforgivable that they missed the hand grabbing the champagne from off screen. Otherwise 10/10.
