Flash Gordon.
Ah aaaaaah! He’ll stand for everyone of us! Fight for everyone one of us!
Do you yearn for the times where a blonde beef cake becomes the greatest warrior in the universe because… football? The costumes, sets and Queen soundtrack make the movie beautiful. But the only loosely coherent plot and baffingly suggestive erotica themes firmly make it a bad movie. A fun one tho!
Every time I watch that movie I wonder how it got made. The elevator pitch for it is terrible. The story is corny and confusing, and it’s so unnecessarily expensive. The cast, sets, and costumes are all so over the top for something so campy. Apparently it only made back 80% of its $35M budget in the box office (Empire Strikes Back came out the same year with a $23M budget).
It really shouldn’t exist and there’s nothing quite like it. I think I love it for that reason alone.
Before Star Trek and Star Wars, Flash Gordon was the big sci-fi franchise.
Kung Pow! Enter the Fist
Old kung fu movie dubbed over and edited into a completely new movie. I struggle to call this one bad, because being “good” was never considered here. Incredibly surreal experience, had no idea what I was in for.
I love that it’s one guy doing all the voices. Mastapiece.
Oh fuck off; no one hates this film.
I definitely know some people who can’t stomach it though lol
Everytime I watch Highlander, I am amazed at how corny it is, and somehow still so incredibly awesome.
A recent one: Ernest Saves Christmas
Almost every line of this movie gets quoted around my house all year.
Everyone either picking films I haven’t seen or pretty good picks from movies I actually remember seeing and I’m out here wondering whether Fievel Goes West would count. Don’t watch many movies anymore, so my movie pool is mostly from memory and I couldn’t tell you what’s actually bad.
Does not count. It is a great movie. No further questions.
I agree it’s a great movie, but I don’t always have the greatest tastes. So thanks for validating my choice, I guess
As they say, beauty is in the eye of the bee-holder. So if you like it, that’s all that matters :).
Live action Super Mario Bros. movie is a favorite of mine.
I like it much better than the new one.
Absolute classic.
Street Fighter.
It’s rubbish. Terrible script. Half the cast can’t act.
But then Raul Julia basically saves the whole thing by turning it into a pantomime. He knows he’s in a shit movie. He’s literally dying. But he’s going to have fun and so are you.
To be fair Kylie was pretty damn hot.
“Dark Star”. Absolute trash movie, but also a classic.
More like low-budget sci-fi dark comedy masterpiece!
To check if this is your kind of jam, try this on for size:
We first meet our intrepid hippie, country music-listening astronauts in the midst of a multiple-year mission to blow up distant planets using thinking bombs.
Due to an onboard accident a few years back, many essentials got blasted into space, including all of the toilet paper.
The Core
Terrorism.
SOUNDWAVES
Jet Li’s The One
I AM YULAW ! I’M NOBODY’S BITCH !
That ending is so good.
Street fighter
Mortal Kombat
I’d argue MK Annihilation as an alternate. The first was at least mildly passable.
The bee movie. Patrick Warburton doesn’t have a single bad line.
Honestly a lot of old DreamWorks cartoons are like that - really dumb, but funny
Weekend at Bernie’s for sure, in fact, I think it’s a quasi-perfect movie for what it is.
There is this Martial arts movie from like, 30 years ago called Little Dragon Maiden. Its not good but it has an ending that is really bad. I like showing it to my friends with no heads up. It always makes them angry.
Gymkhata all the way
