Bad Movies We Love

The Beastmaster.

Flash Gordon.

The Last Dragon.

Buck Rogers In The Twenty-Forth Century.

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.

Okay, I think that this short was in Episode #608: Code Name: Diamond Head. The short with that episode is A Day At the Fair, which sounds right.

This was in Episode 213: Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster. Godzilla fought a giant lobster.

I think I remember that one. This site says that it’s in Episode 212: Godzilla vs. Megalon, and I vaguely remember it.

I should watch some more MST3K soon.

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.

Wow, I guess I’m the only loser who thinks Revenge of the Nerds is a classic :wink:

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.

If you would be so kind, could you send me a copy of those lyrics? Raiders is my favorite movie, but hey funny lyrics are funny lyrics.

Nah, pepperlandgirl, I’ve got it on my shelf also.


“That’s not your pie, that’s my pie.”

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.

How about Howard the Duck?

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 also loved Spaceballs and Revenge of the Nerds.

sighs in relief Whooo, then I’m not the only one.

Was it Short Circuit?

*Batteries not included ?

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!!

Hairspray is not a bad movie! It’s a great movie!

BTW, I’ll second, or third, or whatever, the people who mentioned Goonies. I saw that at my first slumber party.

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?

Tromeo and Juliet

The Monster in My Closet

There are about 90 of them…go rent them today!!

FAME.
(I’m gonna live forever …)

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.

Ferris Rules! (although I did know the Breakfst Club word for word.)

Anybody else ever see (or remember) “Private Eyes” with Tim Conway and Don Knotts? Those two slay me every time…

What can I say, I’m easily amused!

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.
