I'm sure that quite a lot of you guys have watch MST3K/slash Rifftrax, so I can't be completely alone when I say I love cheesy movies. However, right now I'm not finding anything that really peaks my interest. That's why I want you guys to recommend me your favorite bad movie. I'll take anything really, but bad horror and black and white "moral panic" movies are my absolute favorite.
Here is something from me to you in exchange. This movie taught me that if you are a professional life-guard and you need to clear the beach as quickly and efficiently as possible, then the best method is to grab a loudhailer and screami hysterically "CLEAR THE BEACH! EVERYONE GET OUT NOW! CLEAR THE BEACH! GET OFF THE WATER OR YOU'LL DIE!". Also science about Goblin Sharks.
Here's an actual gobbo for comparison. Conservation status: least threatened.

Here's a collection of clips that are terrible and hilarious:
That aside, I really enjoy Fifth Element, even though its just "Die Hard In Space", its actually a pretty crappy movie but I really love watching it and it always improves my mood.

Death Bed: The Bed that Eats
hold up this is actually a movie? I thought it was just a Patton Oswalt joke... Oh god.
Surf Nazis Must Die
In the same vein, there's Surf Ninjas and all 3 Three Ninjas movies.
Another terrible movie that's actually very fun (and is German), is 'Night of the Living Dorks'. I highly recommend it if you can find it.
EDIT: Had to fix the title of the German Film.

Death Bed is fucking ace. I'll check out some of those others later. It'll be an interesting change, since I don't really have much experience with bad action movies. Robovampire comes to mind, but that barely qualifies as a movie.
Fifth Element is a great movie and I will not have a word said against it. Sure it's stupid, but it's the right kind of stupid.

Off the top of my head...
The Room Devil (The M. Night Shyamalan flick about people being locked in an elevator with the devil, for clarity) The Last Airbender Wild Wild West Snake Eyes Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters House of the Dead Rave To The Grave Bloodrayne Breaking Dawn Part 2 (okay, the other Twilight movies are boring-bad, but this movie is entertaining-bad. There are 12 on-screen decapitations and Kristen Stewart tackling a bad CGI cougar) Birdemic I have a deep, only semi-ironic appreciation for Hackers and Con Air, so they half-count.
Title: Our favorite bad movies.
Post by: montrith on April 17, 2013, 03:45:37 pm
I'm not touching Airbender with a long stick, but Rave to the Grave sounds awesome. Birdemic and The Room are, or course, classics, and I've made all my friends watch them.
Speaking of M. Night Shyamalan, I can't convince my sister that The Happening is a really, really bad movie. "The trees are angry" gimmick is like something the forest hippie dude in Birdemic would come up with.

Fuck all y'all badmouthing The Cage / Con Air, I have a bizarre love for all of his movies. His acting just...works...for me.
Hey, fuck you, I never professed to have good taste.
I'm also kind of amazed that nobody has mentioned The Apple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apple_(1980_film)). It's a bizarre musical about a pair of ingenues who come second in pseudo-eurovision and are offered a chance to sign a recording contract with a man who is literally the devil. She accepts, he refuses, becomes destitute, moves back in with his mother, and pines over her. Meanwhile, said recording company has conquered the world, which is now a glittery fascist hellscape where literally everybody stops work for an hour a day to do jazzercise (there's a montage of some surgeons, a gay firemen's choir, and assembly-line workers who all drop their time-sensitive tasks to dance). Also the record-company-CEO/devil's right-hand-man is a sassy drag queen with a penchant for evil glares and spandex (also glitter) who uses mind control(? this is never explained) to help Mr. Boogalow (the devil) take over the world.
Characterization is shoddy, the musical numbers are mind-numbing, and at the end the plot turns seriously evangelically mormon out of absolutely nowhere. It's fucking amazing.

bwahaha YES God, that movie is great. Just fantabulously great. Everyone should watch it.
I haven't even been able to make it through the Rifftrax version of The Room, it just straight-up gives me the jaggies. I dunno, maybe it's because I had absolutely no idea what I was in for when I started watching it. I have never been so confused in my LIFE.
I reckon with my reputation, I've gotta throw something animated in the ring, so go watch Rock and Rule (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuVMxX502pA). You can thank me a LOT after.

Drive Angry is also a pretty excellent Nick Cage movie.
As for the actual bad ones... most of my favourite bad movies have already been listed(largely by Geremy), but one that not many have seen is "Cubbyhouse," which is about a shed which is possessed by Satan and the power of shitty CGI. It's not quite Troll 2/The Room bad, but it's pretty awful, yet one you can laugh at rather than just wince at.

I'm not sure the definitions we're using here, but Crank: High Voltage (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1121931/?ref_=sr_1) is a stunning piece of cinema. Once upon a time, someone made a movie where Jason Statham has to constantly experience adrenaline highs or he'll die. Then someone else said this out loud: "That movie we made about the guy who consantly had to experience adrenaline? I think we should make a sequel but make it more over the top."
The very first scene in the movie and Jason Statham is dead. He's brought back to life and now he needs to keep electrocuting himself or he'll die again, at which point they'll need to imagine something even more preposterous. Bai Ling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bai_Ling) plays the role she was destined to play: Crack Whore. Ginger Spice slaps a child. Jason Statham fucks Amy Smart in the middle of a racetrack. There's a... Actually, let me just copy/paste this paragraph.
Chelios is dragged behind a motorboat to an island where El Hurón awaits. It is revealed that El Hurón is, in fact, the brother of Ricky and Alex Verona, both of whom Chelios killed in the first film. He reveals Ricky Verona's head is being kept alive long enough to watch El Hurón kill Chelios. El Hurón is about to kill Chelios when Orlando, Venus and Ria show up, each with their own group of gunfighters. As a gunfight ensues, Verona's head is killed by Chelios. As Chelios starts to slow down, he climbs a nearby telephone pole and grabs a pair of live wires to recharge. He is flung off the pole and set on fire by the massive current. While on fire, he kills El Hurón. Chelios walks towards the camera, giving the middle finger to the audience in the final moment of the film.Quote from
This movie was written by two naked men sharing a desk drawer full of cocaine. They wrote the entire script in a four-day weekend. One would hammer on the Macbook Pro keyboard with hands permanently frozen in claw formation, which sometimes would lead to words being typed, but other times it would add more quarters into the pornographic virtual pachinko game they also had running on the computer the the whole time. The other would stand a few inches behind the writer, furiously stroking both their cocks and shouting words of encouragement like "Yeah man, fuckin' yeah! You fucking wrote that!" After a few hours, they'd switch places. The laptop died and it took them three hours to notice. Twice, they forced themselves to sleep, but later agreed the decision was detrimental to their process.
After the script was financed, it was time to start filming. The writers of Crank:High Voltage are also the directors (it's a auteur project, as the results will demonstrate), and so those same two men were on set every day. The studio had complained about their public nudity, and so they both stood behind cameras wearing filthy long sleeve Motley Crue tour shirts around their waists as loin cloths. A collaborative team, they would trade off duties of Crew and Talent. Handling the crew meant rummaging through all the electrical equipment to see if anything had an intensity setting that could be turned up (frequently the answer is no, sometimes they would glue shit on). Handling the Talent meant providing the actors with helpful notes like "Act the shit out of this bitch, Statham!" "Imagine the audience literally shitting themselves blind, and then make them shit!"
For focus groups, they managed to get a test-screening made up entirely of people who were just about to go bungee jumping. Instead of the THX logo, the movie started with an instructional film that said "If the bathroom doors are locked. PISS YOUR PANTS!". Many did. After the screening, instead of handing out opinion cards, the directors brought the audience into a room and said "If you didn't like the movie, you can punch me in the face. If you liked the movie, feel free to punch me in the fucking face!" The studio received the data of 100% face-punching rate among viewers and released the film. It lost ten million dollars.
A few of those facts are not true, but are facts nonetheless.

Southland Tales
Southland Tales is Richard Kelly's follow up to Donnie Darko, which was a neat movie with an fairly unconventional plot. Since it was Kelly's first movie, there was a lot of influence from producers on casting, plotting, and direction. Donnie Darko made a killing in DVD sales, which allowed Kelly to make his next movie however the fuck he wanted. That is probably not going to happen again.
Southland Tales has an ensemble cast of famous actors including:
The Rock
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Sean William Scott
Justin Timberlake
Mandy Moore
Jon Lovitz
Cheri Oteri
Bai Ling
John Larroquette
Wallace Shawn
and more. You know, big powerful actors who can really carry a film with a lot of depth. Kelly's direction encouraged the performers to adapt unique personality traits, thus The Rock is constantly tapping his fingers against each other as if each hand thinks the other hand is a tiny piano.
Southland Tales takes place in the near-future in an America that is on the verge of war. The Rock plays an action film star with amnesia. Sarah Michelle Gellar plays a porn star on a Reality TV show, Sean William Scott plays twin brothers (one is a soldier, the other a Marxist), and Justin Timberlake plays a war vet. Throughout the course of the movie, these characters do a bunch of pointless nonsense and converse in implausible ways.
Then there's this:
And this:
Also a big musical number with Justin Timberlake.... who is lip synching a Killers song.
If you really want to get an understanding of this movie, watch the last 2 minutes of it, which includes Janeane Garofalo's entire 1 second of screen time in the whole film. This is also probably the best final line in a film ever:
Reviews of the film were mixed, most reviewers complaining that it was incomprehensible nonsense while others praised it for taking chances and not conforming to Hollywood standard. Said others are idiots, this movie is incomprehensible nonsense.

Van Helsing is a guilty pleasure of mine. Say what you will about Stephen Sommers (and who hasn't, really), the man has one goal when he makes a movie, and that is to make it fun.
I may own a replica of the Dracula ring from the movie but that's neither here nor there
Hudson Hawk is great when you're piss-drunk, and the concept of a heist musical could be awesome in the hands of someone super-capable, but in the sober light of day it's kind of a hot mess.

For best effect, imagine this is being said to you by a stranger on an eight-hour flight.
So hey, have you heard about this movie called The Killer Tongue (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116770/)? No? My sister and I got it for like a buck at Family Video once. There's this meteorite that falls in the desert, right, and part of it cracks open and there's stuff inside, kind of like Creepshow or The Gate or actually any movie with a meteorite in it, except in this movie, there's this lady hiding out from her boyfriend in the desert and she finds it and thinks it's food. So she eats some of it herself and feeds some of it to her poodles--did I not mention the poodles? There are poodles, four of them, all dyed different pastel colors. Anyway they turn into drag queens with dresses that correspond to their fur dye and they kind of act like dogs during the movie and kind of not, but when she eats it her tongue changes instead, it grows to like eight feet long and starts talking like the snowman in Jack Frost. Not the kids' movie Jack Frost, the Jack Frost with the carrot rape. Actually it rapes her at one point, she's arguing with it and it starts raping her so she's, like, being raped by her own tongue but her tongue is an evil alien, so she stops it by cutting it off with scissors, but then it escapes and goes around killing people and I guess finds another host body or something? So that's like forty minutes into the movie before you get the title, but other stuff is happening, like her boyfriend gets out of prison and he finds a bigger chunk of the meteorite and he literally orgasms to death just from looking at it. And then a nun finds the same chunk, but I guess since she's like a nun and stuff, she doesn't orgasm to death, she just turns into a sexy drum majorette, and she finds the lady who ate the meteorite tongue soup and I think they end up fighting it in a church? I dunno, at a certain point things get kind of hazy and I start thinking I had a really elaborate fever dream, but there was a single about the tongue and it has a music video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z61K9zBbmLg) and everything, so I guess it's real.

Oh my god, how did I forget about Face/Off. That is without a doubt the worst, dumbest fucking movie I have ever had the displeasure of seeing. I think if Nic Cage qualifies for doing shitty movies, John Travolta is like his doppelganger. The fact that they put the two of them into the SAME MOVIE is a recipe for terrible. It's such a terrible concept, and requires such a ridiculous suspension of reality, on top of over the top acting and the worst action sequences in the world, even as a teenager I knew it was garbage. I feel like its really the worst movie ever.

Post by: Lemon on April 19, 2013, 04:06:51 pm
I remember renting Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS when I was about 14, because it looked like it had lots of nudity and the video store would let me rent anything that wasn't from the adults-only section. This meant exposing myself to a lot of horrifying nigh-pornography when the actual porn I was wanting would have been significantly less damaging to my psyche.
My memory of it is sketchy, but I do remember it being a sexualized version of the Mengele experiments. The Nazis are looking for the perfect sexual specimen and so are torturing and killing captives in an effort to find one. Ilsa takes a liking to a couple of them and fucks them, and there's a lot of B&D insanity going on. It's really quite horrifying. Yes, I watched the whole thing, yes I wish I hadn't.
I know I've read things about real life Jews (particularly older ones, for whom the holocaust is slightly less distant), who have concentration camp fantasies: Paying dominatrixes to wear swastika armbands and dominate them sexually, and I do believe David Friedman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_F._Friedman) was one of those people, because that's how the whole thing plays out and it's really, really gross.

For any Doctor Who fans, the 1996 made-for-tv movie is so bad it approaches awesome. If you're not a fan it'll probably give you a gloriously inaccurate idea of what the series is about.
Also Eric Roberts gets to play the Doctor's arch-enemy, which means he goes from wearing a leather jacket to a Gallifreyan Council Member's ceremonial robes, spits up ectoplasm all over people, and chews the scenery to within an inch of its life. It's awesome.

Vainus Rackstraw must have been taking directions from the Crank Twins because he acted the SHIT out of this role. He was so fucking good that they made a theme song (around 0:20 in the clip) for a character with less than three total minutes of screen time. Creeper was Mr. Rackstraw's one and only role, ever. When you've achieved perfection, why bother continuing?
Wait! I forgot about Joe Blow: THE Lover Man! He is a brothel patron and aspiring gynecologist. Ladies, you should take note of his helpful advice regarding douche powder. Also, you should be paying him.
Wait! Wait! I forgot about the fights!! Look at this shit! At 0:15, Dolemite is so badass that he has harnessed the power of telekinetic force when kicking a guy! Look at his Telekicknesis and thank your god for allowing Dolemite to grace this earth.
Ok, so it is impossible to pick out my real favorite part of this movie. There's the beautiful theme song. There's the endless boom mics in the corners of the screen (You can see the mic and the sound guy during the Creeper/Dolemite hug in the first clip). There's Queen Bee emoting like a motherfucker in one of the opening scenes. Every part of this movie is the best part of this movie.
Now, for all you folks that didn't know Dolemite, before, GO WATCH DOLEMITE. For all you folks that already knew Dolemite before, well... I'm sure you're not reading this because, as soon as your eyes scanned D-O-L-E-M at the beginning of this post, you screamed "Holy Shit! Why am I not watching Dolemite right now, goddammit?!?!? I gotta go watch Dolemite!!!!!!"

Joe's Apartment (1996)
This is a shitty movie. Literally, this movie has multiple scenes involving shit. It was released in 1996 as the first movie from "MTV Films" and it was a glorious bomb. The acting is awful, the writing is stupid, the humor is tasteless, and the whole movie really just stinks.
Still, I couldn't possibly hate a movie about a guy whose filthy apartment is populated by thousands of cockroaches who happen to talk and sing and dance. I guess the novelty concept worked on me, because it's hard to think of anything more unlovable and gross than a cockroach and yet here is a whole movie based around that disgust. Even if it sucked, it still managed to get shown (briefly) in movie theaters around the country, and that is truly something to behold.

I strongly recommend "Starcrash," which is the perfect combination of giant robots with robot boobs, over-the-top villainy, and David Hasselhoff with a lightsaber.
The first movie I covered on my review show was "C Me Dance," which is fucked up in a way that few movies are. There's a ballerina with cancer, and when she touches you, she turns you into a Christian. They call it a "horror" movie because the devil shows up, but I don't think the filmmakers ever really realized that the true horror of the film was that our heroine was stealing everyone's free will. Anywho, you can watch it for free on Youtube.

Miami Connection is a 1987 action (?) movie which was revived in December 2012 from an old print copy purchased on eBay. The story is about a college band in Orlando who sing G-rated songs about friendship at a local nightclub even though all the dudes look like they're in their late 20s or early 30s. They are also Tae Kwon Do practictioners, and they reluctantly start fighting crime after a local drug syndicate made up entirely of ninjas gets mad at them because their nightclub gig used to belong to an evil band associated with them. That's the plot as I have it figured out, at least.
It's horrifically cringeworthy and tragically earnest in its execution. This movie was trying to be good, thought it could be good, and you can tell. The Korean guy who's obviously the only one who actually knows Tae Kwon Do in the movie has an accent so thick I sometimes can't tell what he's saying. It's available on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Miami-Connection-Digital-Copy-Blu-ray/dp/B00960EHRC).

Miami Connection is a great bad movie. I think it was written and directed by the star, who has a poor grasp on the English language, but a burning passion for America.
It also features the most ham-fisted father-son B-plot in movie history.

This tangentially reminds me of Legend of Crippled Masters, which, uh...is a thing that exists.
And probably shouldn't.
The full, uncut dub (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRYjNrkKrPc) is on Youtube, but this isn't so much a Favorite Bad Movie as Most Uncomfortable Bad Movie That You Can't Look Away From. I guess if two actual amputees were willing to sign on to ninety minutes of smacking people in the face with their remaining limbs to an accompaniment of stock meat-punch sound effects then they might have found it empowering in some way, but you want to be real dang' careful pulling this off the shelf for a movie night with friends.
As a palate cleanser, holy shit is Fern Gully terrible and delightful and here's an extended version of Tim Curry's song from itL
For some reason, someone didn't particularly want the line "I feel good, a special kind of horny" left in the movie. Likewise, "Batty Rap" is only a third of what was originally recorded, with the cut lyrics being, uh, interesting (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsyDI9gyuQs). It's a little confusing as to why they didn't cut the song entirely--even the version that made it in is solidly disturbing and includes vivisection, and it's not like they didn't milk Robin Williams for all he was worth for the rest of the movie. Ah, bad decision-making, I love you.

I present to you Sita Sings the Blues:
Animator Nina Paley wants to tell you about the Ramayana, a very old story from India. Particularly, she wants to tell you about Sita, the devoted wife of Rama who never even thinks of another man, despite all the awful things that happen to her.
Nina Paley gives us a few delightful little quirky shorts about the subject. Some of them are genuinely fun and interesting! But then we're introduced to the true villain of the film...
... Nina Paley's ex-husband.
You see, the movie is broken up into different segments. One segment is animated to a real conversation between three Indians as they discuss the Ramayana. Those parts I liked a lot. Another has weird little paper cut-outs re-enacting parts of the story in a silly way. Hey, kind of fun! Another involves Sita singing to recordings by Annette Hanshaw. Oh... okay... weird but sure I'll roll with it. And then we have the short segments that literally illustrate the entire point of the movie: the segments about Nina Paley's personal life.
Every so often, we're treated to squiggly shorts about how Nina's awful husband ignored her and how horrible and miserable he made her feel and how Nina didn't do anything wrong and bla bla bla. These play right after every segment that specifically calls out Rama for being terrible to his own wife Sita. The message is pretty goddamned clear: "MY HUSBAND WAS A BAD PERSON THAT YOU SHOULD BE VERY MAD AT, I AM AN ABUSED LITTLE FLOWER JUST LIKE SITA IN MY CARTOON SEEEEEE?"
I've talked to people about the movie many times, and every time I liken it to a professor giving a lecture on the Odyssey, only to occasionally blurt out something like "AND THEN CIRCE TRICKED THE MEN AND TURNED THEM INTO PIGS, JUST LIKE HOW MY BITCH OF AN EX-WIFE MADE ME FEEL LESS THAN HUMAN!! PITY MEEEEE!!!" before moving on. It's jarring. Very jarring. Look, lady, I can understand how your failed marriage can make you feel like shit, and it's cool that you wanted to use creativity to work your way through it. But spending 3 years animating a movie about another culture's traditions and then using it to try to turn the audience against your ex is lunacy. And it ruins your movie.
Paley ran into legal issues shortly after completing the film, because she didn't bother securing the rights to Hanshaw's music before starting on her epic project. She now spends a lot of time acting like copyright laws are stupid and restrictive and makes cartoons about how everything that can be digitally downloaded should just be free all the time.

We watched Sita Sings the Blues in one of my college classes, and I liked the main parts a lot, but yeah, the personal-life segments were...really uncomfortable. I don't think I got the full scale of uncomfortable-ness, though, because we watched Farewell My Concubine the week before, and it's a really good movie but good Lord if you watch it with a group of people it's just five years of bare child asses getting caned and molestation. I've watched documentaries on BDSM in college classes that were less unsettling.

It was something like Cross-Culture Theatre, so pretty much. We also watched an awesome documentary on Noh theatre and some really cool shadow puppetry, so it wasn't all bad, but yeah that was a textbook example of why you don't put off registering for your Humanities.
The BDSM documentary was actually part of two different psych classes that I took. Have you ever sat back and watched people watching a movie because you've seen it before and you want to see their reaction to a jump scare you know is coming? Imagine that with thirty bored housewives, except the jump scare is a naked man tongue-cleaning a toilet. The facial expressions were phenomenal.

All of this is going to be evidence for my "Pre-Punched Animators Policy". It'll go right next to my "Pre-Punched Gamers Policy"!
So I was cruising through Netflix and I saw a movie called Rubber. It is gloriously lowbrow stupid and pretentious high-concept wank at the same time. It's Killdozer and Mulholland Drive's secret love child in terms of tone. It is a movie about a tire that gains psychokinetic powers to make people's heads explode. And I thought it was pretty fucking neat.
It's on Netflix Instant if you want it.
Title: Our favorite bad movies.
Post by: Delcat on May 14, 2013, 09:08:37 pm
I genuinely and unironically love Rubber to death. It's just silly enough to overcome the highbrow and just intellectual enough to overcome the lowbrow. And it's a movie about a serial killer tire, seriously honest to God.
I should probably cop sooner or later to being a Saw junkie. The first one was a truly good movie and the second one was kind of all right, but they went way downhill after there. That doesn't stop me from occasionally marathoning them and obsessively searching for movies in the same genre (gimmicky ironic punishment/mysterious game, not hardcore core). The closest I've been able to find is the Cube series, though. I need a fix, dangit! Can anyone give me some recs?

I can't believe I forgot about this.
Imagine you are a movie director. Somehow you've managed to gather enough money to produce your great movie, a hard-hitting detective drama that's sure to establish you as a visionary genius. Except at the half point of making said film you realize two things. It sucks, and you're bored. Lesser men might see this as somewhat of a problem, but not so director Ray Dennis Steckler. His brilliant idea? We will make this into a Batman parody instead! Add to this the urban legend of someone getting the title of the movie wrong in the credits and no money/time to correct it and you have Rat Pfink a Boo Boo.

Yesterday, a group of friends and I sat down to watch Star Wars Episode III: The Backstroke of the West. (http://winterson.com/2005/06/episode-iii-backstroke-of-west.html) When you take an already bad movie and combine it with video compression and transcendentally awful bootleg subtitles, it becomes something else entirely.
In this case, mostly an implication that Anakin was a gay Jedi honeypot and that he was torn between Padme and Obi Wan's affections for him. Oh, I'm sorry, that's "Allah gold", "the plum of", and "tile ratio". Forget those other names. And when I said Jedi, I meant to say "hopeless situation warrior".

I just discovered this thread was here and I'm glad, because I recently saw ghost rider for the first time and almost hurt myself laughing at it.
Probably one of my favorite worst movies is Bitter Lake, aka shitty furry game of thrones. Basically it's a fantasy story where everyone is in fursuits, and apparently there were huge amounts of money backing it. The furry part of it is actually the most benign element (the fursuits themselves are well-made stuff), the rest of the movie is baffling for how boring the plot is, how badly acted it is (none of the actors actually attempt to put any body language into their acting other than a few drama-class level gestures, and there's a laughable "chase scene" at the start where two of the actors barely shuffle along, and later a fight scene where two actors awkwardly smack some swords together), and the fact that despite renting out an entire lakeside cottage area to shoot the film at and doing extensive work to make it more medieval-looking (they have a behind-the-scenes special feature where you see them repainting things and so on), it's still obviously a modern-day holiday cottage and not the medieval fantasy setting they desperately want you to think it is.
Also, some fun facts: the person in the black wolf with horns fursuit is the director of the film, he literally made himself a self-insert. There were also two whole women involved with the entire production, the one who was in the fursuit of the single female character, and the person who voiced the single female character.
Also, there was a sequence in the making-of feature that you will no longer see, where the director pretended to be getting a blowjob from the head of his own fursuit. This is no longer in the special features, for reasons you can probably guess.
Other horrible movies I have had the "pleasure" of seeing are the baffling incoherant mess of a story that is Harmegeddon, which is a movie that had many good people working on it and still turned into the godawful mess it is, and Tristan and Isolde, a french animated film where the least of its offenses is having every single character look like they belong in a different film and having the perspective change radically during pans over the environment. And adding in Puck of Shakespeare lore to be the token wacky talking animal because why not.

One of the great things about living in Los Angeles is being a member of nonprofit movie funhouse The Cinefamily (http://www.cinefamily.org/). And one of the great things about Cinefamily in not only are they exhaustive and eclectic and exhaustively eclectic in programming arthouse and foreign cinema, they are also the fines conissuers of video garbage. Here's some real brainbombs:
Dangerous Men (http://vimeo.com/25484845) - It's a real shame that it will be a very long time before Dangerous Men gets to bee seen by a wider audience due to the fact that the mighty John S. Rad has left this mortal realm and his estate is (allegedly) shithouse crazy towards potential distributors. Rad spent 20 years making this movie whenever he had two cents to scrape togther, which results in about 8 different plotlines that don't actually resolve and a landscape that is going through two decades of changes around the cast like a terrible Torchwood episode. It starts off as kind of a Lady Death Wish and ends with a hunt for a biker named Black Pepper who has nothing to do with anything that happened 15 minutes before he was introduced. Though it's not available on DVD, someone apparently decided to tape the ending scene of Dangerous Men on their cellphone the last time it screened at Cinefamily (it doesn't make any more sense when it's actually in context).
Never Too Young To Die - John Stamos is James Bond Jr. Stargrove! Vanity is Danja! Gene Simmons is the gonzoist Tim Curry imitation he can muster! Stargrove has to stop hermaphrodite mad scientist VELVET VON RAGNAR (Gene Simmons in hands down his finest role) and his army of evil punk rock hackers after Ragnar throws his secret agent father out of a helicopter. Not available on VHS or DVD, presumably due to Gene Simmons-related licensing reasons, it can be found in full on YouTube.
Shadowboxer - No description can prepare anyone for Shadowboxer. Just watch the trailer (http://vimeo.com/86438666) Cinefamily put together.

Whole thing's on YouTube now:
I'm trying to watch it, but the terrible sound design is making me very annoyed more than anything else. It's like they didn't bother trying to place the voices in the soundfield, so it's just like... people talking over a puppet show. Which I guess isn't terribly inaccurate. Of course the faux-British accents are ridiculously muddled and some of them sound Jamaican or something. And I'm just skipping around a bunch but it's mostly... a bunch of people standing around talking, and I lose out on literally nothing by only listening to the audio.
The costumes and sets are surprisingly well-made, though.

I am fucking thrilled I finally have more people to make fun of it with because every time I've tried to make friends watch it they've mysteriously wanted nothing to do with it (actually I know exactly why and even if I find it hilarious it's hard to blame them, because really)
The reason the sets are that nice is because they rented out a lakeside cottage thing to shoot it, and then despite putting actual effort into decoration, failed to actually redecorate them to make them look like they fit in the time period. It's kind of stunning (and depressing) how much money they obvious sunk into this thing and it's still awful because the plot is boring as shit and the majority of the film is "LET'S STAND AROUND AND TALK ABOUT TRADE ROUTES WHILE THE CAMERA PANS BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE SCENE" and there's the barest minimum of trying to physically act anything out even for "action" scenes.
As for the fursuits, all of them were suits that the people acting already owned, I think kirin-lady got brought on just because she had that suit. coolguy horned black wolf is none other than the director's own fursona, apparently.
also, please make sure to note why the final hour badguy says he did all the things he did at the end because it's easily the best line in the entire movie.

the person who introduced me to that movie referred to that line as "furaffinity summed up into one sentence" and that still strikes me as the truest thing about that entire film.

So, you may have seen this wonderfully spooky gif, at some point in your time on the internet.
(http://i.imgur.com/14AqtPO.gif)
There's a really freaky looking horse-dog thing, but you only see it for a fraction of a second, so you only have time to process the fact that its legs and knees aren't quite working in a way that we're familiar with (maybe it's a bird of some kind?). Shit's spooky, and it's from a movie called XTRO. The premise is that a kid's father is abducted by aliens, and the only witness to the fact is the kid himself. The mother believes that the father just ran off, and she's moved on with her life, but the kid is certain that someday he's going to be coming back; then he does. The father comes back, but he's a little different, and he wants to take his son back with him, away from his mother, to wherever it is that he's been.
This movie gets fantastically weird at parts: the father starts altering the son, giving him telekinetic powers that he uses to bring his toys to life, in a sequence that is equal parts creepy and hilarious. And man, this movie is really, really good! The effects are solid, and the lighting and framing are used in a way that mostly hides their shortcomings. The actors are believable, the central conflict is interesting (it's basically a child custody/divorce drama, which I've never seen done quite like this), and I just fucking love this movie.
Also, if you don't want to take it from me, you can also take the advice of the RedLetterMedia people, who watched this as part of their 'Best of the Worst' series (skip to 20m14s, if the video doesn't go there automatically).

Oh man, Xtro. The way the father comes back is, well, very gooey and highly unfortunate for the lady involved, and was also used in Warlock 2 to bring back the titular character. Yay Julian Sands!

The Cat (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105796/) is one of my favorites that hasn't been mentioned already. It's a Hong Kong film where a cat from outer space helps save humanity from an alien mushroom/jellyfish thing that starts fires and controls zombies.
Creating Rem Lezar (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0369348) is a film made by new-age psychotherapists from Silicon Valley in the late 80s, featuring two children that create a superhero using their belief in imagination and love. The whole movie has been uploaded to Youtube:
There's a Turkish version of E.T. called Badi (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0334917). I saw it a bit ago and I don't know what the hell I watched.
Inseminoid (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084090) is a low-budget knock-off of Alien where a woman on a space exploration mission gets impregnated by an alien and that causes her to try to murder the rest of her crew.

This movie is hilarious, and should be rebranded as an OSHA training film. I think the monster kills one person, tops, and all the other deaths are due to workplace safety violations. One person gets trapped when some boxes fall on them that clearly say "DO NOT STACK". Another person gets killed when some metal-fatigued gears snap and a door falls on them. There's accidental electrocution, accidental explosive decompression, accidental nuclear detonation. Pay attention to workplace safety, folks.
EDIT: As for The Fly II, Nutshell, ohmygod yes that doggie. [dog] [bacon]
Still, I was surprised by how fun of a film it was! It's certainly not as good as the first one, but it's an incredibly entertaining gory horror film.

If it were Christmas time, I would recommend the Mexican movie Santa Claus (http://), which was the subject of one of my favorite MST3K episodes. I haven't seen it without the riffing, but apparently it's great either way.
And then there's M. Night Shyamalan's crapsterpiece The Happening (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0949731/). Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel turn in absolutely garbage performances, and the twist at the end is so goddamn dumb. Nothing about it is actually scary, just goofy.
I'll leave you with the full, official MST3K episodes for The Pumaman and The Final Sacrifice, two of my favorite MST3K episodes:

I'm really sad that the Christian Sci-fi Musical genre didn't take off. I love this movie.
Hell Comes to Frogtown (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093171) features Roddy Piper rescuing some of the world's last fertile women from mutant frog people after a nuclear apocalypse.
Johnny Mnemonic (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113481) is some great mid-90s cyberpunk absurdity starring Keanu Reeves.

I have little patience for bad movies in general but there are a few I really love. Here's my list, including some echos from several pages back: Barbarella: Queen of the Galaxy (I've studied this film in an academic context! Fascinating) Crank Crank: High Voltage (this + above have the best premise for an action movie ever: if he stops doing exciting things, he DIES) Cannibal Holocaust (warning for rape and animal dismemberment on camera, they are not fucking around) Evil Dead I Evil Dead II Army of Darkness (confirmed for actual middle-aged man)
I have watched Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 all the way through. I'm not sure if I can say it's one of my favorites.
I watched The Room once with a large group not knowing that it had callouts and audience participation and everything. I was not prepared. I was a little overwhelmed. And my freshman buddies asked me to buy Scotch and vodka so they could make Scotchka. I got them the very best handles $30 could buy. Some of them had never tasted alcohol before. They were not prepared, either.

I made a biology exam question based on that movie:
The actor Jason Statham once starred in Crank. In this film, Stantham’s character is injected with a drug that interacts with the receptors associated with his autonomic nervous system and will cause his heart to stop beating if he does not continually engage in activities that cause a sympathetic nervous system response.
Based on what you know about the autonomic nervous system, come up with a plausible mechanism of action for this drug. Name a receptor discussed in class that it could be binding to. Then explain if the drug would act as an agonist or antagonist in this situation. Finally, describe the normal function of this receptor in the body.
The class was very unhappy with that question, and I'm debating whether I should ever use it again.

Post by: Baldr on May 27, 2016, 10:36:55 am
It was a 200-level course. A possible answer was that the drug was an antagonist of Beta-1 receptors, which normally increase heart rate. As an antagonist it could bind to the receptor and block it. Sort of like the beta blockers people take to lower blood pressure, but worse.

I don't know, that sounds pretty fair (and totally awesome) at the 200-level. But what do I know, anyway? Sounds like your class was expecting something directly from the textbook and wasn't in the mood to interpret the material.

I watched this with a group of friends from an MMO, with most of the group not knowing anything about the movie but this clip.
Holy shit that movie is rape-ey. Like, even for a horror movie of that particularly rape-ey age, it's really heavy on it. That took down the entire mood, which is a shame because I think it's a pretty top-class bad movie.
That actor either has no idea how people talk, or knows he's in utter shit and is having as much fun as possible, either way he's the best part of the movie. I thought the most interesting part of it from a 'wait, why' point of view, though, was that basically the entire first half of the movie is him recounting the tale of what happened with his brother, the villain in the original Silent Night Deadly Night... with flashbacks. So the first half of the movie is basically just clips of the movie it's a sequel to.
Given the original is clearly much higher-budget, I'm not too surprised.

These aren't so much bad as sleazy, greasy grindhouse movies, but they deserve mention here. One of the benefits of living in LA is having access to strange little pockets of film curation everywhere, and at least three venues that provide top-shelf horror and exploitation screenings on a regular basis: the Tarantino-curated New Beverly Cinema, the art/trash mecca The Cinefamily, and the recently-opened Spielberg Theatre inside the historic Grauman's Egyptian. The latter of the three has a naturesploitation series running all summer called Camp Void [warning: VIOLENCE]
Camp Void had its inaugural screening last night, an animal attack double feature that kicked off with a 70th birthday celebration for an ex-Manson Girl who comes to every horror and exploitation movie the Egyptian shows, and then some vintage Jaws rip-off trailers before the main event:
Day of the Animals is your standard "humans vs. crazy animals" story bumped up a few notches by a Lola Schifrin score, above-average cinematography, some surprisingly graphic onscreen violence for its PG rating, and a bare-chested Leslie Nielsen inhaling scenery with force of a Midwestern supertornado as a leering ad exec driven insane by UV rays:
Wild Beasts (1984), on the other hand, is the last feature film by Franco Prosperi, the man who helped give the world the Mondo Cane movies and the astoundingly tasteless antebellum mockumentary Goodbye Uncle Tom. Wild Beasts is somewhat toned down in gore and outrageousness from his more well-known work, but there's plenty of garbage here for the trash-hungry. An entire zoo is driven insane by industrial runoff and escapes to terrorize the city of Frankfurt, including elephants rampaging through an airport runway and a cheetah running down a convertible. There's also a cringe-inducing scene where about 30 live rats get immolated with a flamethrower (knowing Prosperi he probably would've killed an elephant or tiger onscreen if he could've afforded it).

Recently saw a completely bizarre mid-80's Japanese movie that my favorite local theater made their own subtitles for called Helly Wood. I think this is what happens when a heterosexual man from another country tries remaking the Rocky Horror Picture Show (see also: The Apple). The legendary Japanese character the Peach Boy descends from outer space and joins a rock band with an evil space emperor, a torture-loving Frankenstein, a watermelon man, and a mummy. A group of schoolgirl detectives and Peach Boy's adopted father attempt to save him. That is about as coherent as the plot gets, and the rest is a nonstop barrage of brain-melting goofiness.

I feel like I should be the one to post this: They've found an original print of Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam, aka The Man Who Saved the World, aka Turkish Star Wars (http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-sole-surviving-print-of-the-legendary-turkish-star-1783272861).

I know it's a double post, but my Facebook account reminded me about Enthiran (which translates as Robot). It's a Tamil science fiction film about a scientist who creates a robot (who looks just like him, and is played by the same actor) that subsequently falls in love with the scientist's girlfriend and then goes psycho (the movie runs more than two and a half hours, so it's kind of a long story). The whole thing is amazing from start to finish. It features, among other things:
- A robot talking to mosquitoes - A music number that inexplicably involves Machu Picchu - A hundred robots forming a giant ball of robots to roll around and beat the shit out of the Indian police - A climax that involves a gratifyingly improbable amount of death and destruction
(This says it's a trailer, but really it's just the first few minutes.)

I have a soft spot for silly action movies. My personal favourite might be Double Team, starring Jean-Claude van Damme. There's no consistant tone whatsoever. Does it want to be a buddy cop comedy? Or a Prisoner rip off? FUCK IT LETS SMASH THEM TOGETHER. It's a ridiculous film and I love every minute of it. And my God, the villain's death is my favourite death in cinema. He has to choose between being blown up by a landmine or being mauled by a tiger. It has to be seen to be believed.
I also love Equilibrium. It's like someone read 1984 and went "I love this book, but it needs gun karate to REALLY get the point across."

Super Mario Bros: The Movie.
I actually didn't mind the radical reinterpretation as a kid. Though the scene in the night club were Mario and Luigi are wearing suits in the dance club that for some reason aren't red and green was a sorely missed opportunity.
The whole concept of the movie was probably heavily informed by the live actions segments of the Super Mario Bros Super Show, which modern audiences might overlook, it doesn't make the film itself better, but it gives some context as to why the made some of the choices they did. Plus, the most recent Mario game was Super Mario World which took place in "Dinosaur Land", which i guess the writers who were unfamiliar with the games saw in their notes and they went apeshit with it, allowing the dinosaur concept to overrun the entire film, plus it was the early 90's and dinosaurs were popular with kids.
Take away the SMB license, and what's left is a signature 90's action movie for kids with an cheesy acting and an overactive imagination executed to a high level of proficiency with excellent setbuilding that really convincingly portrays the fantasy world, even if that fantasy world has jack shit to do with the actual Super Mario Bros.

Besides being a great, goofy time, I appreciate the Super Mario Bros movie for being the perfect complement to the weird movie tie-in games of the NES and SNES era that have only the most vague resemblance to the thing they're supposed to be adapting.

Someone may have brought it up already, and it's a little mainstream, but Birdemic: Shock and Terror is almost perfect. What I really love in bad movies (and internet posts) is sincerity, and the director believed so much in that terrible movie. He thought (and still thinks, to my knowledge) that he is a genius, and that his movie about bird GIFs is both Important and Intelligent.

I'm gonna put the Jason Statham remake in here, specifically for the single moment that I remember. I'm all about single moments that let you know exactly the sort of thing you're dealing with, and the Death Race remake hits that when the people running the race turn the track on and it's fucking Mariokart. I remember the rest of the movie being pretty much 'grimdark Mariokart' too, but that reveal is just art.
There's also the weird case of the Ace Attorney movie, which after watching with my friends we described as a good movie that's appealing in the exact same way bad ones are. It's a live-action movie that goes very much out of its way to match the tone and styling of the games, so almost everyone has very wild animated gestures and very cartoonish costumes, and the tone shifts wildly because of course it does, but it's all deliberate and an absolute joy. And that one 'yes, this is what you think it is' moment is most definitely when Miles Edgeworth snaps his fingers and an absurdly huge holographic computer descends from the courtroom ceiling and said scene turns into an anime fight scene of the two attorneys throwing evidence at each other.
