Anyone who's into crappy movies?

Killer Klowns is a classic. It was made to be a campy B-horror movie from the start. That's why it's so great

Of course

So Bad Its Good Movie: The Gate. Stop-motion ahoy!

STORM.

The tagline:
YOU WILL GET WET

says it all.

I thought that was the tagline for "Lady Lovin' 3: Finger Lickin' Good!"

So Bad It's BAD Movie:Ã,Â 'Gigli'.Ã,Â Never has so much money been so badly spent!

EDIT: (LimpingFish hangs his head in shame about the above lowbrow comment

Crappy movies? I'll get around to posting my semi-complete list sometime tomorrow. It's lame, at the best of times.

Semi-complete because some have gone AWOL, and some are on covet operations around friends' houses.

Over 50 % of the list mentioned so far, I own. All VHS. All Ex-Rentals. All bought dirt cheap.

I'm a big fan of campy, cheesy, delusions of grandeur-type movies. Some I enjoyed that I haven't seen on this list (or that you can't count on 9 out of 10 people having seen):

Lake Placid (crap movie, Oliver Platt kicks ass).

Day of the Triffids (older movie, classical cheese).

Spiders 2000 (Awesomely bad... crap, crap, crappy craptasticness. Must see. It begins with an experiment wherein they "Inject" a spider with "Radiation" whilst "In space.") And yet it takes itself seriously. Good, good stuff.

Most 'So Bad Good' movies I've seen over the years were ex-rental tapes. The best one has to 'Vampirella'. Roger Daltrey IS Dracula, and the showdown takes place in that bastion of low-budget action movies, the Random Industrial Plant.

If find yourself watching 'Vampirella' make sure your local Emergency Room is on speed dial, because you stand a real chance of laughing yourself to death.

Ha! I love the part where she calls him a "shit-fuck" ... one of the best lines EVER in a movie!

Kevin Bacon is in a lot of these movies.

Some of my favorites are White Water Summer, Footloose, and Hollow Man.

I own White Water Summer and I could watch it every week. The dialogue is great, Bacon's character Vic is such a crazy bad ass, and Sean Astin is the scared geek in all of us.

Actually, I go to a midnight screening called Weird Wednesday almost every week. They purposefully play bad/funny movies and obscure ridiculous things. The last movie I saw was Star Crash, a Star Wars rip-off starring David Hasselhoff.

David Hasselhoff! That reminds me...

So Bad Its Good Movie: Nick Fury - Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Am I the only person who's seen it? Hasselhoff as grizzled war veteran, saving the world from the clutches of...somebody.

It was made for TV. No idea if it ever got a VHS/DVD release...

I would've mentioned Troma films but they haven't got much in the way of subtlety. They're meant to be bad, so don't really fit this topic.

But, there's a whole other realm for movies that are meant to be bad/funny but end up just being horrid. Sgt. Kabukiman: NYPD comes to mind.

lo_res_man · Thu 12/05/2005 20:05:53

Has anyone besides me seen "The Cat from Outer Space" Totle b-movie madness!
"We're up against genius, we better come up with some genius of our own." -General Stilton
"What were you doing up in the air?" "Ughh... astronaut exersizes" "Oh." Franks excuse to Link
"Its just mind boggling, well it boggled my mind." Jellyfish to Mr. Olympus on Jake's collar
It may not be as bad as some movies on this topic but its preatty bad, so ergo its quite good.

Yak:
1. Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD is from Troma.
2. It pwns. Hard.

Las Naranjas · Fri 13/05/2005 04:32:19

Believe it or not, but Sgt Kabukiman was actually an attempt by Troma to enter the mainstream.

Of course now they just make films for their own fanbase, which is why Citizen Toxie was crap.

evenwolf · Fri 13/05/2005 04:39:35

haha, I met Lloyd Kaufman two years ago when Citizen Toxie premiered.

Those guys are nuts but they taught me a lot about cheap special effects.

Everytime a head gets crushed in a Troma, like the kid hit by the car, they use a melon filled with spaghetti and fake blood. So awesome and affordable.

I like his book, "All I needed to know about filmmaking I learnt from the toxic avenger".

Especially when he talkes about his wife giving birth and adds "I don't know if you've ever seen a baby being born, but it's horrific. If I saw something like that coming out of me, I'd hit it with a hammer"

evenwolf · Sun 15/05/2005 11:52:42

His appearance is funny too. He reminds me a lot of Mel Brooks.

I was looking for b-movies today, and thought this could fit in here (reason for digging this thread up).

Basically it has legal (old, copyright-expired etc.) movies for download (via torrents) which were not so great or just very old.

Tuomas · Mon 08/05/2006 12:35:08

hmm, I wonder... or then again I don't, why noone has seen Nemesis 4. I don't know about the earlier if there were any, but I got this one on vhs as a christmas present once. It's about a bodybuilder woman who walks around the ruins in Kosovo naked and has sex with kyborgs and then kills them. I've seen it about 5 times and I still have no idea why she has to do that... But she shoots a helicopter down with a pistol, yet no parts fall. And she makes one bubble WV go all GTA
