Cyclone (1978) RiffTrax 480p.10bit.WEBRip.x265-budgetbits
The only audio track has RiffTrax commentary. If you want to watch the movie with normal audio, you will need to find another source.
This is an encode of the official RiffTrax HighTV file, which is low bitrate and probably an encode of a DVD. This budgetbits release is not high video quality.

Plot
What do a group of tourists on a glass-bottomed boat, passengers on a plane with the most hideous 70s seats imaginable, some guys on a fishing boat that’s vaguely hunting “treasure,” and a little dog named Christmas have in common? They all have the misfortune of finding themselves in a René Cardona Jr. movie called Cyclone!
René Cardona Jr. was the filmmaker behind Beaks, The Bermuda Triangle, Treasure of the Amazon, and Zindy the Swamp Boy. So Cyclone being one of his movies is a mark of… well, it’s a mark.
The titular storm strikes early in the film, and from there it’s a tale of survival at sea for all kinds of unlikeable characters. There’s the beefy tour boat captain, the rich woman with the little dog, and the upsetting red-faced capitalist who’s more cigarette than man (played by Lionel Stander). Trapped with few resources and little hope for survival, will they learn that the most dangerous storm of all is… themselves??? (Yeah, they will.)
Fair warning: as you might expect with a disaster movie from the '70s, things don’t go so well for the dog named Christmas. The poor little guy might even get a tiny bit eaten. A person gets eaten as well, so at least there’s some fairness!
Storm’s a-brewin’, so strap into your favorite '70s vehicle and ride right into the heart of Cyclone with Mike, Kevin and Bill!
