There is a scene where the young, handsome doctor is given a fresh cadaver – a comely, desirable NAKED maiden. He proceeds to start the internal bisection of her abdomen and the winning scene is when he crawls up on the table and sexually mounts the dead body while massaging her entrails.

Oh wow… talk about a flashback. I haven’t thought about this movie in decades… badbadbad. Possibly the worst movie ever made, not just in the 70’s, but EVER. It was a black-and-white movie (like the musicals of the 40’s) BUT IT WAS IN COLOR- meaning the characters wore black and white clothes and I think the sets were black and white… I mean, the movie was filmed in color, but the color of the clothes was black and white only. Hmmm. That may not be clear.
The plot? 100% goofy. Here’s a synopsis from imdb:
And most of all: Burt Reynolds singing and dancing. Painful. :eek:
*Cracked Up *(1977). Worst movie ever. Not even really a movie, just a series of mostly unfunny sketches, held together by a framework, of sorts. And when I say the sketches were unfunny, I mean there was no humor and quite a bit of offense, except for one, which was really funny. Not worth watching the movie again for though.
Emperor of the Galaxy: You know, my son, I wouldn’t be Emperor of the Galaxy if I didn’t have a few powers at my disposal. Imperial Battleship, halt the flow of time!
It’s now on Blu-ray!
I watched this, so help me, I watched this. I shouldn’t have, but I did. At least it was the MST3K version so that softened it a bit. But Lord, it was not good.
Well, it’s not as if the plots of “Top Hat” or “Swing Time” weren’t pretty silly either. The big problem with “At Long Last Love” is that Burt Reynolds and Cybil Shepherd ain’t Astaire and Rogers. For that matter, they fail to reach merely competent with their singing & dancing in the film.
And another nomination:
In the same godawful 70s musical vein, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” So many bad versions of Beatles songs that the one sung by George Burns ranks in the least painful 10%.
Og help me, I actually saw this in the theater. (In my defense, I must point out that my grandmother owned the theater, and I was working there.)
It’s a spaghetti sci-fi movie.
Great cast.
Horrible script, even by the standards of an easy-to-please 12-year-old.
Special effects that were bad even to my 12-year-old eyes.
When Marcia Lucas saw the first cut of Star Wars, without the F/X shots, she started crying and yelled at George “It’s the At Long Last Love of science fiction!”
Fortunately she was wrong, but that’s how bad the movie was - it was immediately recognized as a world-class piece of shit.
I had forgotten about this movie (repressed memory of a traumatic experience I assume). Your estimation of it based on it’s star is correct. I’m lucky I didn’t go blind or just kill myself. I’d put this below Billy Jack. It isn’t even good for laughs.
Oh yes, I saw this when I very young, and even then I could tell it was a just a cheap Star Wars rip-off. It’s notable for giving David Hasslehoff the role to match his ego - Crown Prince of the Universe.
Oh, but’s worth seeing for the “space torpedoes” alone. 4:30 into this vid. (Parts 1 and 2 of the highlights are a bit “special” too).
This thread has gone FAR too long with no mention of “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band”
As if it wasn’t bad enough to all us disco-haters to use the (f*cking) Bee Gees for this Beatles’ based movie, what’s-his-face Stigwood started with crap and went downhill from there. No redeeming value whatsoever.
