Slashdot Mirror

Wing Commander

Here I was happily reading slashdot not being reminded of this dreadful piece of trash that I once rented. It's not just the fact that it's based on a computer game that makes this movie bad, it's the fact that the actors themselves are pulsating with an aura of lousy and the script was written with a lobotomized audience in mind. I usually make a point of it to watch every movie I rent, no matter how bad it is, but this one was the first (and currently only) exception.

Highlander 2

I'm a little biassed when it comes to highlander, because honestly I never got it. There's lots of people running around with swords in their pants/coats/undergarments (that happen to magically disappear smoothly into their clothing when they're not swinging them around no less), cutting off eachothers head with their credo : There can be only one. In the sequel however, it seems that we're doing timetravel or something icky like that, oh and let's not forget that Sean Connery comes back from the dead.

But please, let's not forget Mortal Kombat, the movie not the game. The original was bad taste in my opinion, but they've made several sequels.

Another good one is Resurrection which tries to be the next se7en, but fails to intrigue after Christopher Lambert utters "He's trying to rebuild the body of Christ".

Well, pretty much everything with Mario van Peebles. He's got to be one of the worst actors of all times. Has anyone seen Solo? It's a (masterfully bad) amalgamation of Predator, Robocop, Terminator, etc. It's worth a watch just to realize how incredibly bad it is.

Then there's also my personal favourite, Banzai Runner. This one is /definitely/ the worst movie ever made, period. It's not even debatable. Watch it and feast in 1:30h of 20km/h car pursuits sped up 10 times to make it look really mean, fierce and menacing. Fortunately Mario van Peebles is not in it, otherwise it would probably have ripped a hole in the time-space continuum and ended Life, The Universe and everything else.

Also, an honorary degree to Hulk Hogan. His masterpiece, Santa with muscles is also worth a watch, in case you're contemplating suicide and need that little extra nudge to jump down the bridge.

Woo being the director Doesn't mean much. Watch The Killer (Die xue shuang xiong) terrible to say the least.

I recently watched Blood Waters of Dr Z. and Space Mutiny -- Both are quite terrible and its only thanks to MST3K that I survived...

Just because it's an AC post you don't have to automatically assume it's a GNAA recruitment drive.

Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot is a movie, funnily enough. It is also ranked at number 68 in IMDB's bottom 100 films poll, so it is therefore deemed the worst movie ever seen by many people (Not including myself as I quite liked it, although I was about 12 when I first saw it so the thought of an old lady buying an Uzi was rather amusing. Come to think of it, I'm not sure whether I'd like it more or less if I watched it again)

There is the "worst movie that I was looking forward to", i.e. one that I thought I might enjoy, but was horribly, horribly disappointed at. That would have to be Highlander 2.

And then there's just plain bad. I'm thinking that would be The Cars that Ate Paris. (and no, it's not a porno about a 70's Boston rock band's sexual escapades with a vapid blonde heiress. That might have at least been funny.)

Nothing like a pissed Rowdy Roddy Piper in an explosive jock strap blowin' away mutant frogman toadies to rescue a harem of post-apocalyptic slut-wannabes.

Here's a review.

John Reynolds (Torgo), Diane Mahree(Margaret), and Sherry Proctor (Masters Wife #2) all committed suicide in 1966 (The year Manos was released), with Reynolds' and Proctor's suicides being listed as taking place in El Paso, TX.

McHale's Navy
Meet the Parents

Both for being insipidly boring, utterly predictable, transparently manipulative, soulless, and plain stupid.

A quick consultation with friends yields the following list:

5. The Garbage Pail Kids Movie - Tag Line: "Out of the garbage pail and into your hearts". Little People in really bad costumes. Has a movie ever been titled more appropriately?
4. Mannequin 2 - Also known as "Mannequin: On the Move", but better titled "Mannequin: On the Bowel Movement." I actually saw this in the theater. Why, why?!!
3. Hello, Again - Shelley Long.
2. Love Ya Tomorrow - An independent film you'll never see. Half the theater emptied out after fifteen minutes in a huge exodus. The half that stayed literally APPLAUDED the half that left.
1. Final Approach - Featuring the dad from Doogie Howser and Hector Elizondo. Supposedly the first all-digital soundtrack or something. One set. The same stock-footage shots over and over. This movie made me want to die. I felt like I had been beaten with heavy metal bats for two hours. It's been 13 years since I saw this and it still gives me nightmares.

Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2

Review here.

Super Mario Brothers is the only movie I've ever walked out of the theatre due to lack of quality. I was 12 at the time, I had a greater tolerance for a shitty plot.

Only movie I've ever walked out of.

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0088772/

a film with no plot, no characters and no apparent acting. the only reason I didn't fall asleep is due to the suspense of assuming that something was going to happen. At all. Anything would have done.

Tubby the Tuba is, without a doubt, the worst animated film ever made. I worked for the producer at the time, but fortunately I didn't have anything to do with the movie.

There are a lot of bad movies that people are mentioning here, but there is one TRULY bad movie that goes beyond into uncharted territory and makes Gigli seem as entertaining as naked girls at Linux World. It's called 555, and it's about a weird hippie dude who kills 5 chicks for 5 nights every 5 years. I has wonderful video-shot scenes of him having sex with decapitated rubber dolls with purple blood squirting out of their necks.

This movie follows in the tradition of Truth or Dare, a flick about people mutilating themselves for fun in a psychotic game of truth or dare (!?!?)

Personally I really hated "Dr. T and the women!"

Robert Altman made some pretty good movies, but this wasn't it. The "women" are the most annoying of their kind and the whole story feels absolutely pointless. The ending, where Richard Gere gets carried away by a hurricane and dropped in a mexican city where the doctor continues to help the local women is ridiculous to say the least. The acting is ok, but why watch such a terribly long and boring movie when there is absolutely no identifiable storyline?

I wish the movie would have been "Mr. T. and the women". That could have been a lot more fun. ;-)

Show Girls isn't listed. Neither are Termenator 3, Hairy Potter, Fahrenheit 4/51, Gay African-Americans from Outer Space, or Out Foxed. But Showgirls is listed.

'Manos' and the Hands of Fate must've been truly terrible: four of its cast members committed suicide after its release in 1966:
John Reynolds, Diane Mahree, Sherry Proctor, and Joyce Molleur.

King Solomon's Treasure - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076270

The Star Wars Holiday Special.

If you've seen it, there's no way you can disagree.

You've got all the coked-out Star Wars stars, including Luke with original nose, plus Bea Arthur and Chewbacca's son Lumpy. There's an extended sequence of what can only be called wookie porn, and large sections where the wookies talk amongst themselves with no subtitle or translation provided.

"Happiness" is quite possibly worse than a 100 Goatse.cx movies.. The characters in the movie are truly sick as is everyone involved in making that film. If you like that movie you are one sick fuck.

Hands down the worst I've seen is Hardware. I saw it in college, a time in my life when I liked a lot of lousy, gory movies (Rabid Grannies, Street Trash) and by the time the credits rolled, I was wishing I was carrying a knife with which to gouge out my own eyeballs. The pain would have been less.

What makes this movie repellent is that we have all had to deal with someone like Wade in our lives, and are loath to be reminded of it. That and all the farting.

I have seen Highlander 2 more times than I have seen Higlander one. Why? Because when it came out on VHS in the 80's my friends and I considered so funny as to be on par with Monty Python movies. The flim is just awful... Which is why I like it so much.

Another movie along the same thread is: Yor, the Hunter from the Future
Absolutely horrible as well. Therefore, I highly reccomend you get a bunch of friends and some beer, and rent this one too while ripping into it.

Try not to have too much of a good time.

The voices don't synch with the mouths. People are picked up by cheezy claymation monsters, and then become claymation themselves. The plot is non-existent, and not on purpose.

I've seen a lot of bad movies, and this takes the cake.

I happen to be in one of those artsy crowds that like the film, but I didn't like it for its 'deeper meaning'. I liked it for its actual qualities: The cinematic expression and, well, the nudity. It's not Kubrik's best film, but it's also far from being the worst film ever. Try Ecks vs Sever for a crappy film with a budget, or Makaroni Blues for a film made without much money or talent. The worst films aren't well known, not even well known for being bad. Even Plan 9 From Outer Space has its qualities.

Just be thankful you didn't see Highlander III

I only watched it to see if could possibly be worse than II. It was.

I swear that was the title to this when I saw it.

The thing that made it so memorable was that it was obviously edited together from a matinee serial sort of thing. Thing was, when putting in "next weeks episode" they'd edit out the intro, but not the re-cap of the previous 5 minutes of last weeks episode. Picture me, having seriously imbibed, watching with a group of friends being unable to comprehend why the video keeps looping back onto itself...

What many of these bad movies have in common is they were directed by the notorious Alan Smithee. I will never go to any more of his pictures. I wrote him and told him so.
