A film so godawful it had me chuckling for days afterwards.

There is nothing - NOTHING - that can beat Hulk Hogan's McCinsey's Island, released in 1997. A friend and I watched it one morning when it was on some random channel as a hangover cure, and I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a film. Ever.

Like, at one point, Hulk Hogan decides to release a turtle or something back into the water, and the most fake turtle-like thing ever sort of jaggedly swims away, clearly being pulled by someone in the background.

I love this film so much.

Also, it has Grace Jones in it. Grace Jones.

Birdemic: Shock and Terror



Whole film's on youtube. It's like an hour and a half.

[DZJX]

Hahahaaa at The Room and Nine Deaths of a Ninja.

Bascially anything that is shown on Syfy, including Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus and 2 Headed Shark Attack. (which actually had Carmen Electra in WTF?? and also Brooke Hogan, guess the Hogans don't have much luck lol)

Cirque du Freak was absolutely awful. The acting was dodgy at best and the lead actor sounded like he had a cold the whole time!

I am aware that there are plenty of threads dedicated to listing and insulting bad films (e.g. ‘Bad movies you wish you had never watched), but I wanted to compile a comprehensive list of films, which, although objectively terrible (poor dialogue, screen-play, editing etc), work in a sort of twisted harmony to produce a thoroughly entertaining spectacle!

I host a regular bad films event, and amongst the films ‘showcased’ (okay, streamed from my PC), the attendees voted their top 3 best-worst films as:

3. No Retreat No Surrender (1986)

This is probably the best acted out of the three, and that's saying something! Jason Stillwell (Kurt McKinney), is a ‘karate’ student (despite doing some weird kung-fu-wushu in the film) and avid Bruce Lee fan boy who trains at his father’s dojo somewhere in California. Out of the blue, an Organised Crime syndicate visit the dojo and try to enrol his father into their ranks. Upon refusal, Jason’s father is beaten to near death by an 80’s-set-piece-Russian-villain played by Jean Claude Van Damme.

Father and son relocate to Seattle, where Jason is harassed by local bullies and enlists the help of the ghost of Bruce Lee (who looks nothing like Bruce Lee, they probably just paid some dude from the local takeaway) to aid him in defeating his enemies.

Merely thinking about this film fills me with joy. It’s plagued with archetypal 80’s Cold War rhetoric and hilariously bad racial archetypes (the black kid RJ, who happens to know all the other black character in the neighbourhood, and does weird raps to spazzy Michael Jackson dancing).



2. Samurai Cop (1991)

SC is the brain child of Iranian mutli-millionaire Amir Shervan, who had the vision of creating the greatest American action movie known to man!

SC stars internationally renowned mega-actor Matt Hanon, who plays All-American cop Joe something-or-other, a cop trained in the art of Bushido, A SAMURAI COP. Although, supposedly fluent in Japanese, Joe struggles pronounce the most pronounceable of Japanese surnames (“Are you Fuk... Fugee...yama?”), and when he’s not defeating Japanese crime syndicates (with guns may I add, we don’t even get to see a sword fight until the last 5 minutes of the damn film!), the scenes like to randomly cut away to him, in his speedos, rubbing his bodily fluids over a variety of non-descript blonde chicks.



1. The Room (2003, I can't believe it either!)

The king of bad movies! In terms of plotline, this film is far more boring and prosaic than the other two. It’s effectively a love story that turns sour; biatch of the century Lisa cheats on semi-zombiefied fiancé Johnny for his ‘best friend’ Mark. Its only saving grace, in terms of entertainment is Tommy Wisseau’s diabolical acting ‘ability.’ And by heavens is it worth watching for that reason alone!



Wisseau now markets The Room as a black comedy. The other cast have always maintained that it was a serious film, to showcase Wisseau's mad acting skills.

Other notable mentions, and close contenders include:
Hercules in New York
Troll 2
Shark Attack 3 Megaladon

Feel free to discuss any of your favourite 'best-worst' films, or indeed, any of the ones mentioned here! I'm always looking for new ones to 'showcase!'

Loool, Tommy Wiseau sounded like one of the voices from those Xtranormal cartoons on youtube

[Samuelv-37]

Hausu...a Japanese 'horror' film from the 1970s....there are no words. Just watch the trailer and you'll see why.

[MagicNMedicine]

Red Dawn with Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen was a good DVD to have at uni for post night out drunken lols movie.

Also Moonraker, James Bond on a spaceship having ray gun battles with the bad guys, whilst working with a Bond girl called Goodhead

1. Total Recall is a good film and doesn't belong in this thread in any way, shape or form.

3. I can't let that pass without that line:



Although I wouldn't put a few of these films in the 'so bad they're great' category, for a number of reasons, Uganda has a thriving DIY film production industry that makes insane action films. Action films are huge in Uganda and 'Ramon film productions', a one lunatic operation (isaac godfrey geoffrey), caters for this market. Storylines are sparse if existent, actors simply aren't actors as we know them, the props are rubbish and effects are laughable. But there's no getting away from the fact that a few of the films are just mind bogglingly great - absurd, exciting, fresh, funny:

'who killed captain alex?'



2016:



and 'The return of Uncle Benon':



these films are in many respects rubbish, there's no getting away from that. but compared to an awful lot of worthy sludge and hollywood action films that achieve nothing but boredom on a budget 10-100000 times higher and with a circus of celebrity publicity, celebrities with little more than a seeping diarrea trail of a career, well, you can't help be inspired by the budgetless creativity and vitality to these movies. It wont be a surprise if in a few years we see a wave of ugandan films with an increase in production quality that rivals some of the flipping excellent action cinema that's come from the east.

Recently there was a movie shot in Uganda “The Last King of Scotland”. I see nothing there that I cannot do and it is a pity that they can take away that money to Hollywood to edit such a movie when I can do it.

most of these films can be found in their entirity, online.

na na na ACTION

Snakes on a plane! Also Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus.
