Agree, Hard ticket to Hawaii is amazing!
In the same style, i would mention:
- Miami Connection
- Samurai Cop
- Eliminators
- Street Trash
I love a bad movie but I could not handle Street Trash.
Airborn (the one with the rollerblade race down Devil's Backbone, the biggest hill in Cincinnati)
Bubbahotep
Bloodsport
Krull
Bubbahotep
Bubba Ho-Tep is a fucking masterpiece and you'll sit in the corner and watch it as many times as you need to to change your way of thinking.
Joe Dirt!
It was so hilariously awful, I love it.
Don't really have a top list, but that's the one I always come up with when asked.
Black Dynamite is so bad it's good again!
Noooo not the childreeeen :D
Zombeavers was pretty entertaining
Living in Israel for over a year as a non-Jew, the religious laws really got to me. Not being able to take public transit on Shabbat (particularly the train from the airport). When they cordoned off the leavened bread in the markets for passover. The long holiday season when everything was closed for weeks (though that must be how Jews feel everywhere else in December).
I think Lemmy farted and you ended up in the wrong thread…
Or maybe their choices are so bad they couldn't live with the shame of sharing them.
Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey
I'm mostly just thrilled that Disney finally lost something to the public domain. (And, yes, I know it was acquired by Disney and not originally created by Disney.)
Disney finally lost something to the public domain.
I'm not convinced that the legal right to make that film was there. Yes, the copyright has expired in the USA, however the film was produced and filmed in the UK. Winnie The Pooh is still under copyright until 2026 in the UK (70 years after the author died)
Good call. I didn't realize there were still places where the original works were still under copyright. But in retrospect, I should have thought of that possibility.
I suppose that makes Blood and Honey a pirate film, which is still good in my book. It'll be interesting to see if Disney decides to bring any legal cases in the UK or anything.
Mausoleum, highway to hell, bodymelt, house of whipchord annnddd chopping mall 🤖🤖🤖
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
Within a few minutes of watching it I knew it was going to be awesomely bad, and it lived up to my expectations
- nazi sky
- bring me the head of the machine gun woman
nazi sky
Do you mean Iron Sky?
haha sadly, I don't... it's actually a cover of that movie afaik
The only possible answer is House of the Dead, followed by all other Uwe Boll movies.
Thankskilling is truly a gem!
Timeline (2003) just for “Night Arrows!”
I am a fellow connoisseur of bad film here are some of my favorite
Show Girls - Everyone in this movie is a top flight actor or dancer, except the star who is awful at both
The Room - Duh
Troll 2 - Double Duh
Leprechaun 5 - takes blacksploitation to another level, this movie is a wild ride
Bangkok Dangerous - Nic Cage stars in a stereotypical action flick that veers sharply off a cliff when his then wife at the time randomly appears and makes it a love story. However, she didn't really speak English so they made her character a deaf mute.
There are a ton of awful softcore porns from the 90s, would be glad if someone could add to the list but I really like playmate of the apes
Iron sky: for the moon Nazis, it does not take itself seriously and benefits greatly. Cockneys Vs Zombies: better than it has any right to be
I guess I don't really watch too many 'bad' movies because I don't have many in my head, but the first thing that springs to mind is Velocipastor.
But is Velocipastor really a bad movie if it did exactly what it set out to do?
I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting, but here's what comes to mind:
- Birdemic
- Samurai Cop
- Sharkboy and Lavagirl
Special emphasis on Sharkboy and Lavagirl. I don't see enough people talking about this one. It really sucks you in, and it feels impossible to stop watching.
I only have one, and it is 'Samurai Commando Mission 1549'
The japanese self defense force goes back in time to defend Japan against from... Also the japanese self defense force. The plot never makes any sense, nothing gets resolved. But it's glorious.
Anything TROMA. Hell, everything TROMA.
- Night Feeder: featuring The Nuns, it's a very bad movie that was clearly made with a lot of love
- Hobgoblins: MST3K classic
- Blood Theatre: the music is somehow catchier than it has any right to be
- Undefeatable: Cynthia Rothrock "masterpiece"
- just... all of the American Ninja movies
Reanimator
Basket Case
Terror vision
Nightmare in a damaged brain
Demons
Brain Damage
And I could go on
Nice to see love for Frank Henenlotter. Basket Case and Brain Damage are both quite good. I couldn't tell you why I had a preference for Frankenhooker. Maybe it's the Super Crack?
Ah Frankenhooker, a certified Jim Glickenhaus classic!
2001: A Space Odyssey Office Christmas Party There's Something About Mary The Green Knight Holidate
All the classics of course, but to go for a lesser mentioned one: Frankenfish.
- The Abominable Dr. Phibes
- Dr. Phibes Rises Again
- [insert any three Ed Wood movies here]
Zardoz is a fucking trip and I love it. Also, basically any of the Rodriguez Family movies (Sharkboy and Lavagirl, Spy Kids, etc)
Zardoz was on the short list for my bad movies, if only because of Sean Connery in that fucking outfit. Va va voom!
Freddy Got Fingered
- Re-Animator
- Club Dread
- Repoman
- The Fly
- The Hobbit, The Battle of the Five Armies
Repoman is so underrated it is possibly criminal.
Club Dread is my favorite Broken Lizard film. I guess that is my humor, and it is not for everyone.
It hurts me to type this, but I know Highlander is objectively a bad movie, but I will always love it regardless!
OP asked the wrong question. There can be only one
