Terrible movies you love

El Condor, you almost made me spit my soda out with Gymkata. I forgot all about that. Incredible how parrallel bars were very convientiantly placed through out the landscape. But, this brought about my favorite action movie and star. Ready for it?

American Ninja 3. Starring Michael Dudikoff. This movie had everything from Brightly colored ninjas, evil english men, terrorrist from saudi arabia and ....... a colony of road warriors.

1. After climbing up the side of a dam in africa wearing his mask, he enters the damn and takes it off. His hair is suprisingly well combed, despite it being in a mask and him in the middle of africa.

2. After beating a yellow clad ninja and stealing his outfit to desguise himself, he casualy walks out in front of where a hundred or so ninjas and terrorrist are getting ready to bbq the 2nd american ninja and drops a smoke bomb. All while not wearing a mask like any of the other ninjas around him are.

3. Jumping into a hole wearing jeans and a tee shirt, he bounces out of hole wearing his ninja outfit instantly.

4. Did i mention the road warrior colony?

Also, the Sword and the Sorcerror. Anybody remember this? Our hero, Matt Houston has a tri sword that shoots 2 of the blades off with enough force that a person can be impaled to a door. And if that wasn't enough of metal for him to weild, there's a hidden blade in the hilt of the sword in case it gets too personal for conventional swordplay.

Funny that many of these movies were played on TV, seemingly quarterly, back in the late 80's and early 90's.

I gotta add a few more:
-DareDevil; both the theatrical and directors cuts
-both Fantastic Four movies
-Punisher (with Thomas Jane)

although I have to admit, I never really thought DD was a "bad" movie. Sure, it's one of the weaker Marvel movies, but it has some surprisingly great moments in it, mostly dealing with DD's inner conflict. Everything with Kingpin and Bullseye were super campy though.

I'm going to throw one movie into the mix that has NO redeeming features whatsoever...

"Project Metalbeast"

There are so many things wrong with this movie and yet I can't get enough of it's badness. I crack up every time I see it.

Guyver! It had some really cool scenes.

Haven`t seen the sequel with David Hayter though.

Jakew · January 04, 2008, 02:39:11 PM

Big Trouble in Little China is fantastic ... I don't actually consider it to be a "bad" movie though. That movie has its own little thing going on.

When I think "bad", I think cheesy, or low-budget. Film's that fit into this category, but I still love anyway, include Blackbelt Jones, Evil Dead 3, Slither, Kung Pow, Cabin Fever, Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

4. The outfit Ming Na was wearing as Chun Li after she was captured.

I always thought Ming Na was way more interesting than the outfit, but maybe that was just me :lol:

No, it wasn't just you.

Anyway, a few of my favorite "bad movies":
Gotcha! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089222/ - a spy movie using the paintball gun game as a motif. I think the reason I liked it was mostly because how old I was when I saw it (I was 10). The music was incredibly lame but catchy 80s pop. The plot was corny. But for some reason, I remember liking this movie.
Solarbabies http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091981/ truly might be a film that is so bad it wound up being halfway decent.

QuoteGotcha!

Oh Man... Gotcha!!!
How did I forget that one?!?
Cold War, Spies, Paintball, Linda Fiorentino with a horrible "sexy" russian accent.

QuoteSlither

Im gonna counter that slither falls into that same sorta grey area as Big trouble in Little China. Its too good to be bad.

A few more Ive thought of:
- I love the Alec Baldwin 'Shadow' for no reason whatsoever.
- Any old 30's cliffhanger
- Hudson Hawk (which I actually consider good but its somehow reviled nonetheless)
- Grease 2 (almost unwatchable, and yet not)

Raptor · January 17, 2008, 06:00:24 AM

Here are some that I remember:

Howard the Duck
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Superfuzz
The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires
Phantasm
Corvette Summer
The Car
Caveman
Ice Pirates
Time Bandits
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane
I'm Gonna Get You Sucka
City Heat
Deathrace 2000
Oscar (Stallone as a mob boss :blink:)

And a couple that have already been mentioned that I like:
The Sword and The Sorcerer
Evil Dead 1 & 2
Big Trouble in Little China
The Last Dragon
Gymkata

I'm sure I will think of more later.

The Last Dragon isn't a terrible move....it was shown every once in while on prime time/late night TV for years (so was Big Trouble in Little China). Bruce Leroy is one of my favorite characters....his quest to find the fortune cookie machine was awesome!

Another terrible movie I liked was Superman III...I love Richard Pryor -RIP

Verfall · January 18, 2008, 05:32:17 AM

The early 90's Captain America. I know it was horrible, and yet still, I have fond memories of it.

Just because it was shown on prime time/late night TV for years doesn't mean that it is not a terrible movie. The thing with that movie though is that it knew what it was which doesn't make it as bad as something like "Gymkata".

Exactly. The FX Channel plays Catwoman and Tomb Raider Cradle of Life quite frequently. Both of those are abysmal. Although both are also quite comical in an unintentional way (Jolie punching a shark, and Berry getting high on catnip and playing basketball...lol)
