Lee Eisenberg Most of the shorts that "Mystery Science Theater 3000" heckled are very dated but not necessarily creepy. Not so with "Junior Rodeo Daredevils". Less a look at a subculture than an excuse to put children and animals through hell, it's the sort of thing that probably couldn't have gotten filmed after the '60s (at least not in any country with animal welfare laws). It's enough to make anyone NOT want to attend a rodeo. This is just a horrendous disgusting movie.Sure enough, the Satellite of Love Crew has fun with it. Their narration DOES give an idea of what people would probably think if experiencing the events of the movie. It's the only way to enjoy this awful movie.

Michael H Actually a big shame on you to Encyclpedia Brittanica for releasing this piece of propaganda. Well maybe not cause luckily MST got a hold of this and have a lot of fun with it. Demented Billy Slater, who himself looks like the town drunkard who's been whacked too many times in the head by bucking broncos, catches a couple of his grandkids fooling around with his favorite mare (don't ask why it's his favorite) He convinces the kids to organize their own rodeo. Since the good folk of Wickenburg AZ had not much else to do (I know it's Wickenburg cause there's a sign in the short that says Wickenburg) back in the late 40's except go to Phoenix on the weekends to see the big city. Anyway back the short, little kids learn the meaning of pain, broken bones and what their health insurance will and won't cover at the hospital. Possible deaths may have occurred since nowhere in the short do they say "nobody or any animals were harmed in the making of this film". But anyway MST do have fun with it and now we can all laugh at the expense of these numb-skull cowpokes.

zmaturin In this disturbing cautionary tale, a demented old man (Old Timer Billy Slater) catches two youngsters molesting his horse and sentences them to the worse punishment of all- a junior rodeo. Old Timer Billy Slater laughs in hideous glee as children are repeatedly thrown to the cold, cold ground from the backs of bucking broncos. What kind of Hell is this, where children suffer the sins of man? What kind of grinning gargoyle is this Old Timer Billy Slater? Why has he forsaken us? Why, why, why??!??!This pukey short also features a horrid, repetitive banjo score which will compel you to rip your own head clean off.

icehole4 This short film is based on a junior rodeo that two kids and an old man organize. They show scenes of several young people doing rodeo activities, like calf riding, calf roping, bull riding, and the like. These days, it would be called child endangerment.Avoid this unless you're watching the MST3K version. Joel and the bots make this turkey watchable.
