Flash Gordon.
Ah aaaaaah! He’ll stand for everyone of us! Fight for everyone one of us!
Do you yearn for the times where a blonde beef cake becomes the greatest warrior in the universe because… football? The costumes, sets and Queen soundtrack make the movie beautiful. But the only loosely coherent plot and baffingly suggestive erotica themes firmly make it a bad movie. A fun one tho!
Every time I watch that movie I wonder how it got made. The elevator pitch for it is terrible. The story is corny and confusing, and it’s so unnecessarily expensive. The cast, sets, and costumes are all so over the top for something so campy. Apparently it only made back 80% of its $35M budget in the box office (Empire Strikes Back came out the same year with a $23M budget).
It really shouldn’t exist and there’s nothing quite like it. I think I love it for that reason alone.
Before Star Trek and Star Wars, Flash Gordon was the big sci-fi franchise.
Kung Pow! Enter the Fist
Old kung fu movie dubbed over and edited into a completely new movie. I struggle to call this one bad, because being “good” was never considered here. Incredibly surreal experience, had no idea what I was in for.
Oh fuck off; no one hates this film.
I definitely know some people who can’t stomach it though lol
Iron Sky, it was a B movie in the early 2000’s
Have you seen the sequels? They kept making them.
No, but I know what I’m doing later now lol
Ah shit, I just checked and they never made the third. That explains why I haven’t seen it yet. The franchise seems to have bankrupted two companies and is no more. There was a prequel comic though. Apparently some VFX artists sued for copyright ownership of some assets they created for the production. Despite prevailing, the defense costs did the company in.
This may help hold you over if the 3rd never arrives.
Disregard, double posted because shitty connection
It’s so much fun. Genuinely terrible but in a very tongue in cheek, doesn’t take itself seriously at all, kind of way. All the actors are clearly having a great time and it’s soo funny.
Sounds like Snakes on a Plane to me. That’s precisely what I found fun about that ridiculous film
A recent one: Ernest Saves Christmas
Almost every line of this movie gets quoted around my house all year.
Everytime I watch Highlander, I am amazed at how corny it is, and somehow still so incredibly awesome.
“Dark Star”. Absolute trash movie, but also a classic.
More like low-budget sci-fi dark comedy masterpiece!
To check if this is your kind of jam, try this on for size:
We first meet our intrepid hippie, country music-listening astronauts in the midst of a multiple-year mission to blow up distant planets using thinking bombs.
Due to an onboard accident a few years back, many essentials got blasted into space, including all of the toilet paper.
A Night a the Roxbury
I feel that way about most films with Ferrell, Sandler, and Stiller. So silly and stupid that they work so light-heartedly well. You just know the set laughed their asses off plenty of times in production.
Love Actually
Every Christmas man, without fail
Gymkhata all the way
You Don’t Mess With The Zohan. I was in the Middle East two decades ago and the phone dialing scene always makes me smile.
Probably a tie between Tremors 1/2, Big Trouble in Little China and Buckaroo Banzai.
Those movies are all great though
tremors is AMAZING
The first Tremors is 100% a great movie. Up there with the first Predator and Alien movies.
Weekend at Bernie’s for sure, in fact, I think it’s a quasi-perfect movie for what it is.
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale.
No one did entertaining trash like Uwe Boll. My friends and I used to do a bad movie night fortnightly or so. Boll was the king. The worst entertainment news you could hear was that he’d bought the movie rights to your favorite video game.
Curse the German government for closing whatever tax loophole that allowed him to make these movies!
I didn’t know that guy until I watched that movie. I didn’t know a movie could be so bad. That was beyond lack of talent. It was sabotage, make it bad on purpose.
I think it’s very early in the movie (haven’t seen it in a long time) that a goblin voluntarily sets himself on fire and climbs into a catapult to be launched at the enemy.
That’s something you won’t see in LotR!
All the marvel movies
You really are a psychopath
Every Which Way but Loose
It’s been a minute but I ate that shit up when I was younger
