films that are fantastically horrible

[TheVampwizimp_v1legacy]

"Escape from New York" and "Escape from LA." Also since we're on a Nicholas Cage kick in this thread, "Drive Angry."

I haven't seen "Escape from LA" yet but don't tell me "Escape from New York" was bad. It is goofy at times, and the one-liners can be cringe-worthy, but that's by design. John Carpenter knew exactly what he was doing, and he's got a quirky sense of humor. Just see "Big Trouble in Little China" to understand where he's coming from. Besides, it was a pretty good action movie regardless of heavy-handedness and intentional camp.

Another thing; everyone mentioning those movies like "Dinocroc" and "Megacrab vs. Giant Sharktopus" or whatever, yes, those movies are terribly entertaining to watch, but they are terrible on purpose. No one at the SciFi Channel (I will NOT call it SyFy) sits down to plan these films thinking that they are creating actual quality. They realize the market for so bad it's good films and they are cornering it. Not that I'm saying you're wrong, really, but how bad can these movies be when they are accomplishing exactly what they intended?

That being said, has anyone here seen "Moby Dick 2010?" I don't know who made it, but it's along the lines of SciFi Originals. It's Barry Bostwick playing a modern Ahab, captaining a military submarine, hunting a 500 foot long whale. At the end, the whale jumps onto the land and flops around in an unforgettable special effect sequence until the entire cast is dead. It's something I wish I had never seen, but can't seem to stop laughing about.

Birdemic. I actually sat down and watched this with friends. Soooooooooooooooooooooooo terrible.

I have also say down and watched this movie with friends. A few times. It's pretty miserably funny. Have yet to see the sequel though.... Which is a real thing, by the way.

Vampire's Kiss, because... Well, it's Vampire's Kiss

 

[GonzoGamer]

Gymkata. It's about some psychotic death race (on foot) but it's really about a princess but its really about the Star Wars missile defense program. But this is the part I always remember: the village of the criminally insane.

If you start to get board, skip to 5:35.

Postal as well. It's not a good film by any stretch of the imagination but its the only Uwe Boll film where I've watched the whole thing.

Nicolas Cage does two different types of movies: Really Good ones (Face/Off, Bad Lieutenant) and Excellently Awful ones (Ghost Rider, The Wicker Man).

And then there's "Vampire's Kiss", which is both, and my favourite movie of all time.

You haven't lived until you've watched The Cage drag a plank across a street screaming at the top of his lungs because the sun exists.

Savior of the Universe.....
King of the impossible.......
He's a miracle.......
He'll save every one of us........

Flash....Motherfucking.....Baddass.....in-your-face Mongo-Mingers.......Gordon!

Never has a film tried to be so serious and brilliant, yet been so bad.........but still so brilliant. Love it.


And Hot Shots 2 is meant to be like that, so for me it is just plain awesome as opposed to bad-awesome.

Yes, yes and more yes

I know hotshots is supposed to be terrible but there are other films that do the deliberately bad genre badly, not that they fail at being bad they just end up being bad. Eg meet the spartans was just aweful (not in a good way) along with the latter scary movies

 

[Artina89]

My vote is for The room this scene in particular was a hit with me and my friends:


Terrible acting, terrible story, but I will be damned that it isn't one of the funniest things I had watched in quite a while. Entertaining in its own little way.

Oh you should have seen it when Adult Swim aired it. You know all those completely gratuitous and idiotic sex scenes? They decided they needed to be censored. Only, instead of you know...cutting them out or something....they decided the best course of action was to use big black censor bars. And by that, I don't mean these. I mean THIS


I swear, at times the only part of the screen that wasn't censored was the upper left corner, maybe a few centimeters wide. Which was absolutely hilarious once I realized that my television wasn't on the fritz.

That is actually quite funny. I did find the sex scenes a little tiresome, but it was a complete waste of time censoring it like that. I also thought it was strange how much they liked to "Toss the football around" that seemed to be their answer to everything.


The funniest is when Mark pushes Johnny. It is the wussiest push ever yet he still falls over like a house of cards.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Oh come on! Hot Shot Part Deux is such a classic comedy film before the likes of Scary Movie ruin slap stick comedy films!

As for me, that would be The machine Girl (look it up).

 

[Niflhel]

The Lawnmower Man was a fairly bad movie. Then The Lawnmower Man 2 came along and, voila, it was so terrible that it actually became awesome.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

How exactly is Hot Shots 2 a bad movie?
It's a parody, and in my opinion, one of the better ones (definitely better than any parody made after 1995).

I second this motion, I think the OP thought they were serious movies. I'd love to show him the Naked Gun trilogy and Airplane.

Personally the greatest worst film I've ever seen was a Jean Claude Van Damme movie... Dubbed into Spanish with no subtitles. And I don't speak Spanish, so it was absolute gibberish the whole way through the insane plot.

Now, this wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if I was watching one of the more straightforward movies like Universal soldier or Legionnaire, but I was watching THIS ONE:


I only found this Nostalgia Critic review episode later, I went into that movie completely blind to it's content.

Best. movie. ever.

 

[Darks63]

Anything by Ed Wood, because his films are so bad they're amazing. His work is probably the mst famous in the world of filmmaking flukes.

I forget, is ED Wood the guy who made Plan 9 From Outer Space? Because that film is amazing in how goddamn terrible it is

And of course The Room and pretty much anything made by The Asylum. I saw a DVD in a supermarket called Atlantic Rim the other day, gonna have to buy it at some point

Yeah he is the one who made that movie and other terri-great movies.

Is that the movie where he runs down the street running and screaming i'm a vampire, i'm a vampire, i'm a vampire?

Somewhat on topic: A gift of Nic cage Goodness for all in the thread

 

[Mahoshonen]

"Manos." If you don't involuntarily shudder from just reading that, your education in terrible movies is incomplete.

Yep. It's also the source of the "You Don't Say?" picture (even though he doesn't say "You don't say?" in the scene), Nicolas Cage Saying the Alphabet, and it's the film that he got so into that he actually ate multiple cockroaches for the scene in which he eats a cockroach.

My GOD THIS IS PERFECT! I was just going to make a thread about the same thing!

Me and my friends used to watch a fair few. The absolute best was easily mega piranha. The trailer pretty much sums it up.If you're not laughing out loud at this trailer, You will never laugh

Haha I don't know why but I lost my shit when they were going through the actors and the chick is Tiffany, no last name as if she didn't deserve it or something haha

OT: I think any movie with giant animals seems to be pretty average. My nomination is Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.

This bit is hilarious, especially the random "I'm getting married in two days" line.


Also, they used so many of the same animations. I don't know how many times the octopus lost all of its tentacles haha

hahaha Yeah, I laughed at the tiffany bit as well! I assume she is a porn star. In all the giant monsters movie there is always some chick with big tits and I guess that's her job in this movie.

I Missed Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus because I was away while my friends watched it! I was so disappointed! They told me about that part, it's just quality.

 

[BurningWyvern90]

Oh my God, every Sci-Fi Channel Original Movie ever. I love watching them; they're so much fun to make fun of. My personal favorites are probably Piranhaconda and Arachnoquake, though.


My mom also told me about one that she watched while I was gone called, no lie, Trail of the Screaming Forehead. I just...
...the hell?

 

[hazabaza1]

Gotta go with what I always do in these threads... Black Sheep.

Fucking love this move. Sheep can't even bite people!

 

[Johnny Impact]

Nazis at the Center of the Earth. How do I sum this one up? About 1/3 of the way through, you will say to yourself through a popcorn-stuffed grin, "All this needs is Mecha-Hitler. Then it will be perfect." 2/3 of the way through, the film delivers Mecha-Hitler.

Zontar, The Thing From Venus. Title says it all. This is a knockoff of a movie so hilariously bad, Mystery Science Theatre 3000 did a parody of it. That's right: they parodied the original, and this isn't even as good as that.

Wild Wild West. Over-the-top slapstick action comedy in an utterly nonsensical steampunk/Western (Westpunk?) universe. It revels in its own absurdities, and so should we all.

Anything with words like "Megashark" or "Piranhadon" in the title.

Is that micheal madsen at 40secs?

I agree with all the nick cage responses. I absolutely love con air although it is a terrible film.

Has anyone ever seen the losers?
