Curious. What is the best bad movie everyone here has ever seen. You know the So bad its good variety. For me, It is "The Room" and After Earth.

My favorite 'bad movie' has to be 'Legend of the Eight Samurai', known among my friends as 'Japanese Elvis and his mom try to take over the world.'  You have a princess named Su Zhi (Or Shi Zu - the script can't decide), who has to assemble eight ninjas (the word 'samurai' only ever appears in the title) in order to defeat the evil queen - who bathes in blood to remain young - and her son, who has a pompadour straight out of the '50s.

I'd also have to nominate troll 2. It's... fascinatingly bad. There's even a documentary on how fascinatingly bad it is. Have you ever seen a movie where people make out by using corn on the cob?

Cuz you have now.

There's also 'The Room', by Tommy Wiseau. Intended to be a serious drama, it's actually a very hilarious movie due to everything being so bad. Imagine someone trying to make a serious drama about their love life with someone, but then everyone isn't even trying to act in it and people throw waterbottles before asking people how their sex life is nonchalantly.



But probably the worst film that i've seen in a hilarious fashion is Foodfight! An awful... Barely CGI animated abortion I saw sometime in 2012 when it was posted on another discussion forum. This was meant to be a big budget movie that would have grocery store/food mascots interacting with things ala Toy story. Instead, we got this:


Beguile's Mistress

"Screech of the Decapitated"

Melusine

I second The Room. Also, Dungeons and Dragons. Just Jeremy Irons' performance transforms it from a boringly bad film into an entertainingly bad one.

Valerian

I haven't had the, er, pleasure of seeing this one myself, but a friend of mine insists that a film called Rubber has to be the best bad movie ever.  It's the story of an abandoned tire that develops psychokinetic powers and goes on a killing spree.  I thought at first he was making it all up, but it's a real movie.  The tire's name is Robert.  ::)

Troll 2 and the Room have both gone beyond being "so bad they're good" to arguably being masterpieces. I'm still somewhat convinced that the Room and Tommy Wiseau is actually a carefully crafted piece of performance art/social experiment.

Likewise both Plan 9 from Outerspace and Manos Hands of Fate are automatic entries onto such a list.

Pretty much all of the low budget monster movies that have come out in recent times... notably anything linked to the The Asylum or with "giant", "mega" or "shark" in the title... is an attempt to hit the "so bad it's good" market, although for me the most well known of these (Sharknado) was a little too self-aware for its own good; a truly "so bad it's good" movie thinks isn't aware that it's bad and is convinced it's good.

Personally I think Humanoids of the Deep/Monster deserves a place in this unlikely pantheon. For most of the film it's a fairly generic relatively low budget 1970's/early 80's monster movie/exploitation flick and so entertaining in a lowbrow way. Then, out of nowhere, you cut to scenes of the monsters raping people. And when I say out of nowhere I pretty much mean it; the rape scenes were filmed and added in during post-production by a backup director because the producer wanted them in there (notably they didn't tell any of the main actors). It's utterly bizzare and fairly hilarious.

The Wicker Man remake deserves a mention simply for the "not the bees!" dialogue.

I should note that I actually love cheesy 80's action adventures and schlocky cheap horror films so a number of the usual contenders for this sort of "award"... Commando, Road House, Hell Comes to Frogtown, Anaconda, Masters of the Universe etc etc... don't really cut for me as I don't think they're bad movies; they're in essence genre films which play entirely to what a genre audience wants. I think the same can be said for some of the worst blaxploitation flicks (the Black Gestapo being a notable one); they knew what a genre audience liked and pretty much just stuck to that; in that regard they're less bad films and more simply films with a very limited ambition.

Reefer Madness, for obvious reasons. Story of Ricky for its legendarily ridiculous fight scenes.

Beorning

Have you guys, by chance, seen Birdemic? I've watched some online reviews for it (which included some scenes) and it looked pretty bad.

Zekromnomnom

I'm a huge fan of 80's cheesy horror movies. Cause a guy in a ridiculous rubber suit is still better than some of the torture porn BS coming out in the last few years.

That said, I agree with the mention of Humanoids from the Deep and Troll 2. Oh, and we can't forget my favorite action flick in this particular category, Con Air.

SapphireStar

There are quite a few. Though some are entertaining to watch on a rainy or sick day.

Street Fighter with Jean-Claude Van Damme

Red Sonja

Kull the Conquerer with Kevin Sorbo

Bad remakes/reboots of movies. Like Sabrina with Harrison Ford.

There are a couple of British low-budget horror flicks that I don't personally consider 'bad' but the general consensus is the opposite. Two recommendations from the same director (I forget his name), Doghouse and Evil Aliens, are definitely worth a view if you can find them.

The only movie Roger Corman was Executive Producer on that he didn't want the credit for and if that wasn't bad enough fought any attempt at a DVD release.

SORCERESS (1982)

There's a film series called Transsexual Dynasty that I'd like to see - from the title alone it could be ridiculously bad (in either sense) or at any rate...highly interesting.  :P

Do you know the premise of 'Teeth'?  I read about it on 366 Weird Movies (which is also a fabulous source of 'so bad they're good' movies - as well as the also-rans).

Dead Snow, Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead, Iron Sky, and I'm sure that the sequel Iron Sky: The Coming Race will be just as bad.  How can you say no to lizard nazis from the center of the earth AND Hitler riding a T-Rex named Blondi?

Thanks for mentioning this one.  I was literally just telling the little Oni (within the past hour) that a movie about Nazis on the moon was a real thing.

Actually Iron Sky is actually a good movie, it's just full-on camp. :)

It's a good bad movie not a so bad-it's-good movie. :3
If you're searching the lines for a point, well you've probably missed it; there was never anything there in the first place.

Beorning

I'd disagree with that. For me, Iron Sky was a huge disappointment.

Now, you people are saying that there's going to be a sequel with dinosaurs??? Oh wow...

Ryven

You're disappointed by a bad movie?

Also, how can you be disappointed when they reveal an armed space vessel named the USS George W. Bush?  I think that was the best point of the movie for me.

Yes.  They're making one with lizard nazis and Hitler riding a T-Rex inside a hollow earth.

Does Near Dark (1987) count?

Heh, I pretty much loved Near Dark at once when I saw it. It felt inventive, cool, with a nice mix between the gritty and the punk ironic, the hoary and the modern. And visually it was great (loved the soundtrack too, it really fit the dusky landscape images).

It's a reboot of sorts, of course; they're replanting the vampire myth in a modern-day outback, semi-Western setting. But it felt very good to have the vampire connection implied and  shown but not printed in big block type. With lines like "I hate it when they ain't shaved" after a good bite into somebody's throat it's fairly clear anyway.

On topic, Telefon (1979, with Charles Bronson as a KGB man "helping" the US spooks in hunting down a runaway Russian agent who sets off sleeper agents with a hypnotic poem by Robert Frost) is popcorn if you'd look a bit closer at the plot but strangely compelling and very entertaining. I've seen it several times on TCM and always enjoy it.

Some are junky junk that is fun to watch - Transmorphers.

Some are decent knock offs that rise about trash to be fun usually due to a plot and decent acting - American Warships.

And then the gems like - Sharknado and Sharknado 2.

I have yet to see one that just uber sucked they accept what they are the studio of C movies, that has fun being that, got to love them.

Batman & Robin. It was the first Batman movie I ever saw and my introduction to Gotham. I don't get the super hate this movie gets. I adore the camp and oh my are the puns abundant. Plus Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy? I think she's amazing in the role with how much gleeful fun she's having with it. For me it's really one of those so-bad-it's-brilliant sort of movies  8-)

While I'd usually agree most of the cases, I think GoT (and, to an extent, Lord of the Rings - I love Tolkien, but his writing can be frustrating) is a whole different beast. Probably because Martin is a producer and he's using the show to explore possibilities he can't in the books, but I don't feel like I'm watching something worse when I'm watching the show. I feel like I'm watching something that is mostly different. Which is weird because it's the same franchise but even though most adaptations are worse than the original, I can't feel that with GoT - I feel like the books and the show are two separate projects, both by Martin, each having its strengths and weaknesses.

Of course, I might be completely wrong, but that's how the show feels to me  ;D

There is one exception to this in my book that proves the rule and that's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The books was just a little moralityy tale for kids. The movie had a much, much, much better resolution than the book. Despite what Dahl bemoaned.

Foodfight is so gloriously bad. It's not just bad, it's surreal. Like you're having a fever dream that just goes on forever. The history/mythology surrounding Foodfight makes it even better. Something about the hard drive with the movie being stolen so they had to do the whole thing from scratch. Why did it take over ten years to do? Why does it star Charlie Sheen and Hilary Duff? Why does it have overt Third Reich references? Why is the entire thing a metaphor for why you should participate in mindless consumerism?

I made my friends get drunk and watch it about a year ago (no seriously, my plan was like, "All of you have to get drunk and watch this awful movie with me") and they got mad at me. They love bad movies, but this one was too bad. I love the Foodfight "fandom" and I have like 20 gifs from Foodfight on my hard drive.

It's worse then that. After the footage was stolen (the original footage was nothing great, but it was a lot better) they tried to remake the footage in a cheaper and faster way by using motion capture technology. What they didn't count on was they were using human actors to animate characters with inhuman proportions. Dex is pretty much a human, so his animation is pretty solid, but his squirrel friend (can't remember his name) has tiny little legs, a very low pelvis, and a gigantic head, so the actors were really restricted in how they could move.

I admit I have never heard of Foodfight... but the trailer does look bad, indeed. This thing was in cinemas?

BTW. Have you guys heard of The Amazing Bulk... which is a Hulk-ripoff movie with zero budget?

As far as I know, it was supposed to be a real movie...

I think it's important to note that there is a big difference between a movie that doesn't care, and turns out bad, and a movie that genuinely thinks it will be incredible and turns out awful.

And for that matter, a movie that is deliberately trying to be bad.

Well, movies like Manos or Birdemic were made by creators who really thought that they are doing something good ;)

True, though the director of Birdemic seems to have wised up afterwards. The sequel seems much more intentional in it's stupidity.

Have you managed to see it live yet?  I'm not saying that it's 'bad' either way, but it really is almost two different movies.

Do you mean seeing it in a theater while the people act it out on stage? Yeah, I've done that once. It was a lot of fun, but all the other chances I've had to do it since then, I felt kinda "ehh" about it.

I hate to double post, but I just saw this Foodfight! gifset that explains what I love so much about the "fandom" it has.  Gifset here

Also, I meant to post this before, but I forgot. If you are a fan of The Room, you should definitely check out the book The Disaster Artist. It came out last year and is written by Greg Sestero, who played Mark. He wrote this book about how he met Tommy Wiseau and how The Room came to be. A lot of stuff about being on set for The Room and what it was like living with Tommy. It's fucking hysterical and makes watching the movie even funnier, because you learn a lot of context for certain scenes and some mysterious questions are answered (why ARE there so many pictures of spoons?). But it's also kind of good in its own unique way, because you have this story of Sestero trying to make it big in Hollywood, and how meeting Tommy in one of his acting classes kind of messes that all up (for better or worse? you judge) and there are actually some kind of touching moments.

If you can, you should listen to the audio book version because Sestero does this wonderful impression of Wiseau's voice that makes all the scenes with his antics that much greater. He's so good at it, it's almost like Wiseau is narrating it too. My friends and I have started quoting The Disaster Artist almost as regularly as we quote The Room itself. Here is a snippet from when he was getting to know Tommy:



I would suggest making an account on Audible.com, and then using your one free audio book download to get The Disaster Artist. That's what I did. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Phantasm 3 is pretty much the catch-all for this question.  Decent enough production values and pacing to stay entertaining, but the plot is awful and nonsensical enough at this point to keep it a gem.

Helps if you've seen the first two, but it can be just as easily enjoyed on its own.

The Day After Tomorrow, good characterization and storyline, although the science was so inaccurate it wasn't even funny.

A lot of people consider Mortal Kombat to be a bad movie. I will fight those people in the street.

Now, the sequel... holy fuck is that movie garbage. Not even enjoyably bad, just straight up terrible. There is a fight scene where no one touches anyone done entirely in slow motion. A character from the previous movie jumps into a scene via a portal, completely unprompted and with no relevance to anything happening, has a very short fight, then jumps back into the portal and the scene resumes as if he were never there. A man with robotic arms that can tear through metal like it's paper punches a concrete wall, leaves a hole bigger then his fist, and is stuck there for the rest of the fight.

Frozen Flame

The Last Dragon. It really falls so far into "terrible" territory that it comes out the other side to "awesome."

From what I've heard, The Room may replace it whenever I get around to seeing it.

ICON CULT CLASSICS shouldn't count like Plan 9 from Outer Space the greatest bad movie by the worst director of all time.

And your in a mob in costume with a live character montage going on with the movie its legendary to see the RHPS, and you can openly be a lesbian or other sexual minority and no one cares. Your part of the tribe.  ;D

I really do think that Manos is at least equally bad.  ;)

BTW. Has anyone seen R.O.T.O.R.? It's another amazingly bad movie...

Nowherewoman

Alien: Resurrection. Total camp, plenty of nods to the 50s and 60s Bad Movie genre, badass heroine, lesbian subtext...what's not to like?

I prefer not to remember that this movie exists...

BTW. nods to 50s bad movies? Could you name any examples?

Alien: Resurrection's special effects count as a nod to the 50's B movies, I believe.

Best Bad Movie for me is tied between the Room, Birdemic Shock and Terror, and Manos the Hands of Fate. All so terrible that they are amazing.

Not anything specifically pointing to a given movie. The appalling bad science, the equally atrocious script...it made me rather think of Green Slime, if anyone's seen it. Also, the fact that the baby hybrid WTFit was at the end, for the first time in the series actually LOOKED like a guy in a rubber suit.

The only direct reference to another movie that I'm aware of was stealing Snake Pliskin's "I heard you were dead" scene, but Escape from New York was 1981, so ok, out of time window.

And I agree, to an extent, Beorning- the first time I saw Resurrection, I loathed it (except for Sigourney, and Winona's boicut). I've seen it several times since then ( I spend a LOT of time in hotels, and no dirty smirks, please), and I've come to appreciate it as sort of the Uwe Boll wannabe entry into the franchise.

Heh. "Hybrid WTFit" :) Really, I found this idea quite bad. Although I must say that the hybrid's birth scene did quite unsettle me... in the Lovecraftian "What am I seeing??? My sanity is slipping!!!" kind of sense.

But overall, I really try to pretend that the series has only three entries. It's easier that way :)

Another interesting bad movie I remember is a TV disaster movie named Annihilation Earth.

It's a low-budget affair (with very poor effects) about how a supercollider causes global catastrophe. Why it's interesting? Because of the ending...

See, for most of the movie, the story is your bog-standard disaster movie. A catastrophe happens, scientists and authorities race to deal with the consequences, there are some personal subplots, too... Overall, nothing interesting. But then...

... this happens.

One element of the movie's plot is that the scientists are trying to stop the disaster from repeating itself. There's some discussion on how to do this, with one scientist claiming that going along with the plan authored by the government will cause an even bigger catastrophe and the destruction of the whole planet. In the finale, the government decides to go along with their plan, an order is issued, a button is pressed...

... and Earth explodes. The end. Credits.

Basically, it's a whole movie of plots and subplots - all of which go along typical disaster movie tropes - which lead to an ending where everyone dies. Everyone, like in *literally* everyone. The whole planet blows up. Just like that. It's like, say, an earthquake movie where the protagonist try to survive for two hours, only to be swallowed by an even bigger earthquake in the final scene...


I admit I know of no disaster movie that went with that kind of thing, so... Annihilation Earth gets some points for doing that. Although it's a really crappy movie aside from that...

I forgot about The Stuff until just now. Love that one.

Oh dear God. This is so bad. But so good. Also, Anthony Stewart Head is just amazing, period. And I'm not gonna lie... Paris Hilton's role in this is pretty much perfect for her.
