And, the ultimate cheese movie: Raw Force: Invaders Of The Jade Tombs. This martial arts movie features (I kid you not) Cannibal monks and their evil zombie samuri minions. There’s one scene when the hapless maiden is on a giant spit, and a cannibal monk is using a giant brush to spead BBQ sauce on her.
The henchmen who are dressed as the Village People are a hoot, too.
running man is definitely one of the cheesiest movies out there but damn i can never get enough of it. i think it inspired the video game smash tv. also, starship troopers was pretty funny with all its military propaganda it used… damn, those people who made starship troopers, robocop movies and total recall all have that sort of ridiculous propaganda that i have come to know and love.
I like Revenge of the Nerds and The Last Dragon. I don’t think of them as bad movies I like as much as reasonably good movies that haven’t got the respect they deserve.
Oh, yes–I DID see this one. With Joe Louis, two forgettable comedians, and an ice skater. I just didn’t remember the phone company angle.
I must have taken the wrong time to answer the call of nature, because I’ve seen this MST3K episode.
I missed a lot of MST3K when they changed from Comedy Central to–I think it’s Sci-Fi now? I didn’t get Sci-Fi for a long time thanks to my stupid cable provider.
What were those two movies about the little robot guy who fought crime? He was like ET, only metal…I remember at the end of the second movie he got gold-plated.
I can’t remember the name of those two but I loved them both.
I love Summer School AND Exit to Eden! Those guys in Summer School who are all obsessed with horror movies crack me up! And everytime I see whatsherface on Ally McBeal I remember her humble beginnings as the surfer chick who hit on the teacher. I’ll watch those movies anytime!
Other faves, I think many of these have been mentioned:
Dr. Detroit (oh yeah baby!)
Hairspray (the REAL Ricki Lake!)
Crybaby (this one warped me for years)
The Pirate Movie (Gee, I’d hate to be PILLAGED)
I’m sure I’ll think of more!
Also, for those born around the year 1975, there was quite a debate going in my group of friends over which movie “defined” our generation … Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, or The Breakfast Club? Cast your vote!!
Bad??? No way Jose. The prequel “Mad Max” is crap in a box, but Road Warrior? Wez was my favorite character in that flick.
Now, as a former owner of a video store, I think I’m an authority on bad movies. Any Troma flick is just terrible.
Of course they are meant to be…do they qualify?
I would have to vote for The Breakfast Club. Great song, great cast, (Judd Nelson back when he was sexy), it’s just a classic. My opinion is influenced by the fact that I didn’t see Ferris Bueller until I was older, and I didn’t really care for it.
I can’t. Your profile contains neither an e-mail address nor a homepage for you, so I haven’t the slightest idea where to send my immortal instant-classic lyrics known as “You’re a fighter, you’re a man.”
In the (late 80s? early 90s?) Rowdy Roddy Piper did a sci-fi movie called “They Live”. It actually had some pretty good production values, and contained the greates two-man brawl over sunglasses ever seen in a movie.
This, of course, can not hold a candle to his true coup-de-gras, “Hell Comes to Frog Town”. You have to love that movie just from the title. Horrible horrible horrible movie. Bad plot. Terrible acting. Definate guilty pleasure. Ya gotta see it to believe it.
