1994’s The Flintstones dosed audiences in nostalgic camp with a live-action version of Hanna-Barbera’s beloved cartoon classic. Fans seemed smitten with the film, which grossed nearly $350 million worldwide. But when film execs released a sequel in 2000, its title was nearly as bad as its plot. The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas is a prequel to the first film, and tells the story of how Fred and Barney met Wilma and Betty while living in the Flintstones-esque Las Vegas. The film’s title is a pun on the 1964 film Viva Las Vegas, starring Elvis Presley and Ann-Margaret, who appears in a cameo role as (ugh…) Ann-Margrock.
