"It's a military secret, but I guess I can tell you."
That might be the only deliberately funny line of the movie.

That anticipatory "I dont want to be a statue" song is brilliant. Every musical goes the conventional route and introduces their leads with an "I Want" song, where you learn about what they've always been and what they've always dreamed of becoming. It takes a truly original show to introduce a character with an "I DON'T Want" song, where we learn nothing about who they are or what they've dreamt of, but definitively learn why they don't want to become something terrible they were suddenly and randomly threatened with a few seconds before. Genius

A couple of notes on the extraordinary life and career of director Barry Mahon.

In 1941, before the US had entered the war, Mahon traveled to England and joined the RAF. He flew Spitfires as a member of the Eagle Squadron, scoring five victories and winning the Distinguished Flyting Cross. Shot down over the English Channel in August 1942, he was captured and spent the remainder of the war as a POW. He made at least two unsuccessful escape attempts before being liberated by Patton's 3rd Army in 1945. This experience would lead him to serving as a technical advisor for the 1963 film "The Great Escape", in which Steve McQueen would play a character based on Mahon.

After the war Mahon became the personal pilot for Errol Flynn, which led him into filmmaking. He made a number of low budget action/horror/nudie films before drifting into (of all things) children's films.

If this is OZ I can see why Dorothy was so hellbent on getting the heck out of there

Wogglebug's eye falls completely out at 53:18. Hilarious. Can't believe they missed that. But then again, so did I until now.

[ThreeBeingOne]

If ANY of this ends up in my dreams holding the three of you personally accountable.

The way Tip swung that knife around at 14:45 he almost became Ozma too early.

[JohnChadwick]

A surprisingly faithful, yet wholly unremarkable adaptation of the second Oz book.

"You don't plan a coup without several dozen hoagies, Mike." 🤣

[starmanda]

The guy playing the scarecrow isn’t half bad. He does a serviceable impression.

[ThatChadWithTheAnchorArms]

Gah! The Wogglebug looks like Jamie Hyneman turned into a COKED OUT Dr Seuss Character!

[TheNzFox]

Every time 'glinda the good witch' is on screen I can't help but feel there is a 47yr old mother just off camera screaming 'SMILE!!!'

[ClayLoomis]

Chan Mahon, who plays Tip, is proof positive that having the director's son lead a movie is a great idea. From here, Chan went on to huge success, by never trying to act again. He obviously had more sense than his dad.

Wow this is WAY creepier than Return to Oz could ever dream of being

I just love it when Rifftrax does ultra-low budget films intended for kids. Between this one, Whizzo, Rollergator, and Ice Cream Bunny, we see such an incredible amount of madness that's difficult to find anywhere else.

[greyofpta]

Watching this while having the flu is a hell of a trip!

And I thought Return to Oz was the scariest looking Oz sequel out there. I have been proven to be deeply mistaken thanks to this movie.
Thank you Rifftrax.

Daaaang... I am to this day still a huge fan of the Oz books and 50 some-odd years ago I remember seeing a trailer for this movie and begging my mom to take me to see it. She never did... thank God my mother realized that this thing would have scarred me for life. After diving into a few minutes of it now I think I would rather have old Mombi turn me into a marble statue than watch the whole thing all the way through... although the commentary is hilarious.

[eponine]

I didn't think "sew a little seed" would be the best song this guy ever wrote, but here we are.

[TerrenceNowicki]

I wanna see a big-budget adaptation of this book directed by Guillermo del Toro.

Featuring John Hodgman as the Woggle-bug.
