Not your best, but your worst! B-Movies abound!
Give us your sick, sad, filthy pleasure flicks that you love to hate.
Rules: The Room is too popular at this point and doesn’t count.
My list:
- Hard Ticket to Hawaii
- Frankenhooker
- The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
- Dead Alive
- Deadly Prey
Special Mentions:
- Cabin Boy
- Space Truckers
EDIT:
High Score Bonus:
- Cherry 2000
Joe Dirt!
It was so hilariously awful, I love it.
Don’t really have a top list, but that’s the one I always come up with when asked.
Zombeavers was pretty entertaining
Agree, Hard ticket to Hawaii is amazing!
In the same style, i would mention:
- Miami Connection
- Samurai Cop
- Eliminators
- Street Trash
I love a bad movie but I could not handle Street Trash.
Airborn (the one with the rollerblade race down Devil’s Backbone, the biggest hill in Cincinnati)
Bubbahotep
Bloodsport
Krull
Bubbahotep
Bubba Ho-Tep is a fucking masterpiece and you’ll sit in the corner and watch it as many times as you need to to change your way of thinking.
I already indicated I liked it. It’s a great movie. But it wasn’t exactly made for the big theatres, and has a B-movie kinda feel to it, so I decided that was enough to qualify it. Its definitely not bad in the same sense that Airborn is bad though.
- Cemetary Man
- Phantasm
Any chance you follow The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs?
Oh man I loved Phantasm. I was blown away when I found out they made more than one.
I’m sure there are more I’m forgetting, but here’s what comes to mind:
- Birdemic
- Samurai Cop
- Sharkboy and Lavagirl
Special emphasis on Sharkboy and Lavagirl. I don’t see enough people talking about this one. It really sucks you in, and it feels impossible to stop watching.
I am a fellow connoisseur of bad film here are some of my favorite
Show Girls - Everyone in this movie is a top flight actor or dancer, except the star who is awful at both
The Room - Duh
Troll 2 - Double Duh
Leprechaun 5 - takes blacksploitation to another level, this movie is a wild ride
Bangkok Dangerous - Nic Cage stars in a stereotypical action flick that veers sharply off a cliff when his then wife at the time randomly appears and makes it a love story. However, she didn’t really speak English so they made her character a deaf mute.
There are a ton of awful softcore porns from the 90s, would be glad if someone could add to the list but I really like playmate of the apes
I have been specifically looking for bad softcore porn from the 90s, and would gladly take any other recs you have to give.
I did also discover the Full Moon streaming service just the other day, which largely seems to have porn films with most of the actual porn edited out. It’s surprisingly watchable.
They probably kept all the good parts for themselves
Dead sushi and robo geisha
Black Dynamite is so bad it’s good again!
Noooo not the childreeeen :D
- Night Feeder: featuring The Nuns, it’s a very bad movie that was clearly made with a lot of love
- Hobgoblins: MST3K classic
- Blood Theatre: the music is somehow catchier than it has any right to be
- Undefeatable: Cynthia Rothrock “masterpiece”
- just… all of the American Ninja movies
Edit - I made this list and completely forgot about two of my other favorites worth mentioning:
- The Sphere of the Lycanthrope (RIP David Stay)
- The FP
Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey
I’m mostly just thrilled that Disney finally lost something to the public domain. (And, yes, I know it was acquired by Disney and not originally created by Disney.)
Disney finally lost something to the public domain.
I’m not convinced that the legal right to make that film was there. Yes, the copyright has expired in the USA, however the film was produced and filmed in the UK. Winnie The Pooh is still under copyright until 2026 in the UK (70 years after the author died)
Good call. I didn’t realize there were still places where the original works were still under copyright. But in retrospect, I should have thought of that possibility.
I suppose that makes Blood and Honey a pirate film, which is still good in my book. It’ll be interesting to see if Disney decides to bring any legal cases in the UK or anything.
I only have one, and it is ‘Samurai Commando Mission 1549’
The japanese self defense force goes back in time to defend Japan against from… Also the japanese self defense force. The plot never makes any sense, nothing gets resolved. But it’s glorious.
- The Abominable Dr. Phibes
- Dr. Phibes Rises Again
- [insert any three Ed Wood movies here]
I guess I don’t really watch too many ‘bad’ movies because I don’t have many in my head, but the first thing that springs to mind is Velocipastor.
But is Velocipastor really a bad movie if it did exactly what it set out to do?
Zardoz is a fucking trip and I love it. Also, basically any of the Rodriguez Family movies (Sharkboy and Lavagirl, Spy Kids, etc)
Zardoz was on the short list for my bad movies, if only because of Sean Connery in that fucking outfit. Va va voom!
