Great Bad Movies

SebBerkovich

Hey folks, i'm sure i'm not the only one that really enjoys watching really badly made movies from the quality stuff on MST3K to the classics like Troll 2 or The Room.

Just wondering what people's favorites are.

i saw a review for that once that just said "Coolio's Greatest Performance" he remains uncredited in the film.

Watched David Cronenburg's "Videodrome" the other day, which I reckon definitely fits into this category. Hammy acting, ludicrous plot & woeful special effects (though possibly they were good for 1983) but I had great fun watching it. Apparently it has quite a sizable cult following, especially in Canada.

The official Troma channel on youtube has plenty. They are in the process of putting their entire catalgue of full movies on youtube.

Ratman and Street Trash are good for a laugh.

SebBerkovich

The only Thorma film i've seen is Poultrygiest, about a an fast food restuant being built on and indian burial ground... oh and it's a musical

It's a work or art.. crazy.. crazy art

Good to see that Delta Force was removed. This is for 'great bad movies', not great movies.

Maniac Cop 2

Maniac Cop 3-Badge of Silence

They are two classic movies!!

jinkybhoy

any steven segal or jean claude van damme movie i'd suggest - or fatal deviation ( a classic meath based action film starring James Bennett of Trim and Mikey Graham of Bhoyzone fame.

For me, it'll always be Blood Surf: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0226919/

A preposterous plot and it resorts to nudity whenever there's a chance it might be losing the viewers interest. Utter garbage but hilariously "did I just see what I thought I did?" bad...

The presence of Videodrome in this thread makes me sad.

I'll personally nominate For Y'ur Height Only and Shark Attack 3: Megalodon. Both hilarious.

Ha, ha. I was being a bit provocative with that one as I know it has quite a cult following:D. That said, it's hardly the masterpiece many of its fans make it out to be.

The Horror Channel have starting showing Hawk The Slayer recently, I've watched it through twice in the last few weeks and had it on in the background a couple of times while cooking or whatever. Crap but somehow compelling (mainly nostalgia TBH).

Battle Royale II: Requiem

Has the most absurdly over the top villain I've ever seen!

The original Tremors was far from terrible. It's actually one of the better monster movies.

Rawhead Rex

classic horror filmed in Ireland

Neeson

Irrespective of it's supposed cult following, it was quite well received by critics generally (not that that means anything per sé). But then, there's quite a gulf between not being a "masterpiece" and being a "bad" movie

Actually a fun film.

I found Death Race 2 enjoyable,kind of a poor man's Mad Max in places.

callaway92

Mortal Kombat is always my answer for threads like this.

Classic stuff.

Procrastastudy

Battlefield Earth

Wing Commander - but only because I liked the games so much.

Yawns

Iron Sky

It was so over the top bad it was good

Videodrome is a great movie dude your way off there.

Jumboman

Green Street 2 is one of my all time favourite crap films the film so funny for all the wrong reasons.

White Collar Hooligan 2: England Away :rolleyes:

Videodrome is classic Cronenberg and didn't deserve a mention in this thread.

What's that studio that does b movie versions of the big Hollywood movies?

Those Wishmaster films. Terrible rubbish. I can't explain why I enjoyed them as much as I did.

Something to do with the twisted way in which the djinn granted the wishes...

OK, I have to admit to intentionally stirring it slightly with that one, though I'd still maintain that it's over the top & melodramatic in places (even if that is intentional). Surprised at the extent of the ire which I appear to have provoked from the film buffs here by daring to criticise a cinematic sacred cow. Goodness knows what conniptions they'd go into if I mentioned what I thought of David Lynch's "Eraserhead" :eek: -

pretentious & boring

:eek: Apologies again, I'm off to brush up on "Acceptable Film Opinions 101".

best of the best, best of the best 2

an overweight Chris Penn in a cowboy hat as an expert martial artist. I think I prefer the sequel, James Earl Jones is in the 1st.

Marty McFly

My biggest guilty pleasure even though I hate the majority of his films would have to be Little Nicky

GhostInTheRuins

We watched a film called The Eliminators at the weekend. Feckin' brilliant. It has everything, robots that turn into tanks, lasers, cavemen, ninjas, time travel and any other ridiculous stuff you can think off. I read a review after that sums it up nicely "It's like all the cool 80s cartoons turned into a film"

thebostoncrab

He'll Comes to Frog Town is a classic. Roddy Pipper plays the last fertile man on earth after a nuclear war. He gets kidnapped by some woman to go save someone from giant mutant frogs, and they strap a nuke to his dick. The acting is OTT and the violence even more so, but you can't help but laugh the whole way through it.

Bad Biology is another, more recent flick to fit the "so bad it's good" category, even if it filled with tones of WTF moments

Saw that a little while ago, currently the only movie i've seen when "our hero" is actually rapist.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Peter Jacksons early movies. Braindead is a fantastic movie, highly recommend people watch it. Bad Taste is excellent also. These are the movies he really should be known for.

Anything along the lines of Sharktopus, Crocosaurus, Boa vs. Python etc is an immediate winner in my book

Sand Sharks Staring Brook Hogan is another one of those weird B-Movies, Ms. Hogan plays a scientist... the Sand Sharks themselves are one of the more believable parts of the movie

She's in 2 Headed Shark attack as well. In which a giant shark with two heads sinks an atoll to eat Carmen Electra.

Lynch and Cronenberg generally have the same fan base, your really stirring the pot in here,

Yeah, I'll agree 'Eraserhead' is hard going. It's not something I would stick on after the dinner on Xmas day . But you would be hard pressed to find a film that is as disturbing and sticks with you.

Think I could do with that myself sometimes on this forum.

"Venom". A 100 times "Venom".

This is the ultimate B movie. They are not trying to give it a B Movie feel, like Planet Terror or whatever, its genuine lack of skill set and a piss poor plot that give it a B movie feel.

He is a monster someone took out of a suitcase, that lives in a crypt in Louisiana and shoots spiders from his hands while making short work of a bunch of teenagers.

Highly highly recommended.
