What is YOUR favourite lame movie of the 80's?

[strazer]

I'd have to go with The Archer: Fugitive from the Empire aka The Archer and the Sorceress.
I loved this movie as a kid and I managed to obtain a VHS copy via eBay a few years back. It's pretty cheesy of course, but the snake men still rock!

Follow-ups, some more lame than others, but all childhood favorites:

The Ice Pirates - Gotta love the kung-fu robots! Now where's the DVD already??
Enter the Game of Death - Definitely the best Bruce Lee clone movie of them all!
House
Enemy Mine
Innerspace
Krull
Labyrinth
Legend
and many, many more...

*Sigh*, those were the days...

EXCELLENT choices man!  I was just talking with somebody the other day about Ice Pirates.  I was able to find a bootleg DVD of it, but didn't take the risk of buying it.

Legend is one of my favorite movies.  Tom Cruise cheesing it up with Mia Sara (Sloan Peterson from Ferris Buelers Day Off).  The Extended Directors Cut DVD for Legend is awesome.

Nightmare on Elm street. It was so lame it was good

[Pesty]

I guess my idea of lame is different from everyone elses'. I didn't consider Labyrinth or Big Trouble in Little China lame. Sure, Labyrinth is cheesy and goofy, but I guess I consider 'lame' movies to be the really bad (but fun to make fun of) ones. Like...Krull or Red Sonja or something.

[Babar]

Lame movie? How come the ultimate favourite lame movie has still to be mentioned? Yup, I am talking about:
"BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE"!!!

[DGMacphee]

Take that back.

[Pesty]

Take that back.

Seconded.

[Mr_Frisby]

I also agree but think that maybe B&T Bogus journey somehow qualifies.

[veryweirdguy]

Here are some little known facts about Bill & Ted:

The year it was released, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure won every Oscar available at the time (yes, even best actress & foreign film(?)). They had to create TWO best actor awards, one for each of the leads, 'cos Rufus got best supporting. They kept this a secret from everyone though, so the other filmmakers did not get jealous.

Keanu Reeves has admitted that he was so wooden in The Matrix because he 'wanted people to remember him for his role in Bill & Ted'.

Research has shown that if murderers spent less time killing people & more time watching Bill & Ted, then murders across the world would drop by 817%.

Bill & Ted cures all nasty diseases. Yes, even that one you can't pronounce.

George Lucas once said that Star Wars Eps 1 & 2 were worse than the others because he was so distracted by the awesomeness of Bill & Ted.

If Bogus Journey was a women, 7329% of men (& 83% of women) said they would marry it.

The music of Wild Stallions was actually going to be released on an album, but the government decided it was waaaaaaaaaaaaay too awesome, so they banned it from existance

The two films are, in one word: excellent

Ergo, Babloyi (if that IS your real name), I insist that you follow the advice of one Mr Macphee & take that back, lest I rip out your liver & use it to play catch with some angry bears, while you are still attached to it.

That is all.

[DGMacphee]

Oh Christ, I've started an angry Bill and Ted revolution movement.

I'm glad someone mentioned Krull.  I actually used to have the dialogue memorized verbatim.

[TikiTikiMan]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?  Was that in the 80's?

[AGA]

That was made 6 years ago. So you're only off by at least 9 years

[Domino]

Another 80's movie that i really like, but some people might think is lame...

Night of the Comet

It's a great movie in a low budget sort of way.

[WanderLady]

Some excellent(lame) movies given.
Some more, maybe...

'They Live' - another Rowdy Roddy Piper movie
'Flash Gordon'
'Teen Wolf'
'Disorderlies' - The Fat Boys
'Adventures in Babysitting' - THOR!
'Over the Top'

Etc., etc....

[LordHart]

I'm glad someone mentioned Krull. I actually used to have the dialogue memorized verbatim.

I have always found it sad that the cyclops always knew he was going to die by getting crushed in the entrance way to the Black Fortress... wouldn't you have just commited suicide if you knew that would be the way you'd die (but then again, he didn' see that he'd kill himself so he couldn't do it )... :'(

[evenatlab]

I remember the name of the kids team up with Frankenstein movie, it was called "Monster Squad"  and it owned my soul.

[MrColossal]

The cyclops didn't know he'd get crushed, he fell behind from the party because he knew that he was supposed to die in this one canyon and he couldn't not die or he'd die by some other worse way but he avoided that death to help his friends and then he died in a worse way, which was being smooked by a door...

good lord i wish i hadn't seen that movie so many times.......

[LordHart]

But how do you know he was supposed to die in the canyon? Maybe he knew that he had to be left behind so that he could save the day, and then be just in time to get smooshed... because if he went with them originally, they would have got in earlier... so it'd be odd, having a conversation going:

"Leave my friends, my fate is to be smooshed inside this wall."
"THAT'S THE WAY YOU DIE?!"
"Yes..."
"Ahahahaha!!! You suck!"

[Trapezoid]

Wow. I remember that particular scene, but not the rest of the movie. I think it disturbed me when I was little and stuck in my head for all these years. I was actually thinking of it recently and wondering what movie it was from.
