      Keanu Reeves, Dolph Lundgren, Ice-T, Henry Rollins…it had a hard time not being awesome despite the writing.

      Finally something in this thread that I’ve seen (and is actually a bad movie). The “science” of this movie is hilariously inaccurate and the movie is kinda over the top. But it’s a lot of fun!

    Pacific Rim

    Makes no sense in ANY way but boy is it fun to watch. Some YouTube thingy called it the worst best and best worst movie ever, so…

      I wouldn’t call this a bad movie though? GDT directed movie with decent reviews (72% RT and 65 Metacritic).

      Unless you’re referring to the sequel (haven’t watched).

    Cannibal: The Musical.

    It’s a reeeally early Trey Parker and Matt Stone creation. A live action comedy musical movie about the Donner party. Definitely a classic.

      Not sure it fits “so bad it’s good.” The jokes the movie wants you to laugh at are the jokes you laugh at, so it is an effective comedy.

        There are jokes you probably missed too. For example Trey bole up with his girl friend the week before making the movie, so they named the horse after her.

        When they wake up in the Indian village and they are practicing karate. They didn’t have any native Americans in their film school but had plenty of asain students.

          Nope, knew about both of those. Another joke is the natives are speaking Japanese, not Comanche, and the teepees are the Japanese flag. Which is why the natives keep assuring everyone that they are, in fact, Indians.

      The really awkward trapper song followed by them arguing about what key it was supposed to be in had me absolutely dying.

    Better Off Dead.

    An early John Cusack film by Savage Steve Holland co-creator of Eek! The Cat. How many montages can you fit in one movie?

    Troll 2. So many quotable lines and unforgettable scenes. And you don’t even have to watch Troll 1, because there is no Troll 1 - at least not in relation to, or in the context of, this film.

      I absolutely love Troll 1 for the simple fact that the main character was named Harry Potter and he asks a witch to teach him to be a wizard halfway through the movie. It came out 11 years before the Harry Potter books.

    Idiocracy was a great movie when it was satire, alas it’s now at best a documentary (at worst a ‘what could have been if things were good’ movie) Reality caught up and beat it, alas.

          Nah, with how it goes in the world it’s more a horror movie now instead of comedy.

          It is almost as if humanity decided to see the movie as a challenge instead of a warning (or just plain entertainment, what it was meant to be).

    Ninja Terminator

    I believe these films were made from footage of failed East Asian productions that were bought up and then “finished” by an American company cheap. (The director Godfrey Ho is known to do this apparently.)

    There are quite a few Richard Harrison films like this.
