I’m fairly sure this is **Hard to Kill**. To be fair, they did show a couple of obligatory scenes of him using accupuncture 😃 to help restore him to his studly self. :rolleyes:

Dear the people who said **Dirty Work** and **Super Troopers** ,

This thread is about movies so _bad_ they’re good, not so _good_ they’re good.

I’ll second **Lake Placid**. **Robocop** and **Starship Troopers** also get my votes.

I’ll second **The Creeping Terror**. The dialog must have been so bad they scrapped it and went with a narrator. When a character actually speaks, it’s down right shocking. Also you get to watch teens sitting on a blanket screaming for 5 mintues while the monster slowly inches up to them. They then help it out by literally climbing into it’s mouth. Good stuff.

**Buford’s Beach Bunnies** , starring Tom Hanks’ lesser-known brother.  
**Nice Girls Don’t Explode**.
