Partly inspired by a segment in Ben Heck's podcast this week, and me watching Total Recall with my big brother this weekend, I'm thinking about arranging a bad-film-night with some friends.
This idea was further enhanced by me being at the mall with a friend yesterday, and we came across some cheap movies with the most ridiculous titles like "Russian Ninja" and "Attack of the 50 foot woman". These two titles was even packed together, as if there's any genre-overlap between those two titles.
I was wondering if anybody have any recommendations, that fit the statement: "so bad, it's good"
Personally I would recommend Dracula 3000 for anyone, considering holding a similar movie-night. It's really baffling to me, how this movies was ever conceived - or how it was backed with funding at all.
@NoDeath: Ugh, The Wickerman. Yeah, that's bad - but not really in a entertaining way. It's just dull.
@Asrahn: about U.S. Seals. Isn't that the one with Charlie Sheen or something. I can't be to sure - has been ages since I saw it... more specifically, I believe it was still new when I saw it.
Edit: no, the one with Charlie Sheen was Navy Seals - and was from 1990. U.S. Seal is from 1999
Dragon Wars. It's a horrible, horrible movie about an evil guy who comes back from the past to wage war on modern day Los Angeles with an army of dragons. Only some moody reporter and a girl who may be a reincarnated princess can stop him. Dragons fight helicopters and tanks in the city streets, what more could you ask for? The acting and story are laughably bad but the effects are good enough to save the movie from being complete trash. Here is a snippet of the movie from You Tube: Dragon Wars Teaser
And, if you haven't seen Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li that is another I would recommend but only for the Chris Klein scenes. Everything in that movie was mind-bogglingly bad, but Klein brought it to such another level that I eventually looked forward to him being on screen. He chewed up the dialog as if it was a stale wad of bubblegum and I found it mesmerizing. His delivery was so hokey that I giggled with glee each time he appeared. Sadly, no one else in the film ever achieves the same level of cheesiness. Kreuk is lifeless throughout, but I'd still recommend the movie if for Chris Klein alone. Here is a You Tube music video someone spliced together featuring Klein's best/worst lines. Chris Klein is on the Case
Sheen's not in it, you may be thinking of Hot Shots. Fitzpatrick stars in the main role. The entire movie is just riddled with camera mistakes, inexplicable action scenes, incomprehensive yet terribly simple story (They just go places and do shit that doesn't make any sense), enough to make it hilarious. Me and my old LAN buddies use to get together once every year, fairly close to christmas, and watch it for laughs.
" Buckaroo Banzai is pretty "awful-some" (new word!). Though that was pretty much the point: So you have Jeff Goldblum, John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, and RoboCop! "
That... looks... awesome - eh - awfulsome! Didn't see Christopher Lloyd though. "
He plays an evil alien named John Bigboote ("It's pronounced Big Boo Tay!")
You guys are all so wrong. It's Extreme Justice, starring Lou Diamond Phillips, Scott Glenn, and Yaphet Kotto. It's absolutely the worst piece of shit I have ever seen. But it is nothing short of hysterical, it's so goddamned, putrefyingly awful. Total Recall is corny, yes, but it's actually not a bad story (based on a Philip K. Dick short), it's just the corny Arnie treatment that makes it somewhat laughable. And yes, Wicker Man pretty much butchered the original. But Extreme Justice makes both of those movies look like award season darlings. My friends and I accidentally caught it on late night cable and laughed our asses off the whole time. If you've ever wanted to see what it looks like when even Lou Diamond Philips stoops to a new low, then this is your movie
