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.

Iron Sky, it was a B movie in the early 2000's

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Have you seen the sequels? They kept making them.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, but I know what I'm doing later now lol

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah shit, I just checked and they never made the third. That explains why I haven't seen it yet. The franchise seems to have bankrupted two companies and is no more. There was a prequel comic though. Apparently some VFX artists sued for copyright ownership of some assets they created for the production. Despite prevailing, the defense costs did the company in.

A recent one: Ernest Saves Christmas

Almost every line of this movie gets quoted around my house all year.

I feel that way about most films with Ferrell, Sandler, and Stiller. So silly and stupid that they work so light-heartedly well. You just know the set laughed their asses off plenty of times in production.

[–] dcoe@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

You Don’t Mess With The Zohan. I was in the Middle East two decades ago and the phone dialing scene always makes me smile.

[–] earthman@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Everytime I watch Highlander, I am amazed at how corny it is, and somehow still so incredibly awesome.

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Troll 2. There is no other movie that defines "so bad it's good" like this one does.

Probably a tie between Tremors 1/2, Big Trouble in Little China and Buckaroo Banzai.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

Those movies are all great though

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

tremors is AMAZING

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

The first Tremors is 100% a great movie. Up there with the first Predator and Alien movies.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"Dark Star". Absolute trash movie, but also a classic.

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.

Live action Super Mario Bros. movie is a favorite of mine.

I like it much better than the new one.

Birdemic - Shock and Terror

Absolutely everything about this movie is so bad you feel second hand embarassment for the filmmaker.
The atrocious sound quality,
The cringy acting
The even more cringy writing
The 3 chords of "music" that are repeated all throughout as soundtrack
The heavy-handed preachy message
The special effects, the pacing, just...everything is as bad as it can be in a movie.

Part 4 is coming out next year.

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

That scene where they defend themselves against the animated clip art birds with wire coat hangers lives rent-free in my head.

In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale.

No one did entertaining trash like Uwe Boll. My friends and I used to do a bad movie night fortnightly or so. Boll was the king. The worst entertainment news you could hear was that he'd bought the movie rights to your favorite video game.

Curse the German government for closing whatever tax loophole that allowed him to make these movies!

Tank Girl

I rewatch "New Rose Hotel" every once in a while trying to like it. It's a William Gibson story set in the Neuromancer universe. It stars Willem Dafoe, Christopher Walken, and Asia Argento. It should be good, but it absolutely is not.

[–] Brutticus@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

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.

Every Which Way but Loose

It's been a minute but I ate that shit up when I was younger

[–] apj2k36@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Miami Connection. The bad acting and writing is endearing. I sincerely like the music and 80% of the fight choreography.

I really like the bad crazy christmas movies in netflix. This year 'hot frosty' is taking the crown for 'wtf did I just watch' that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Your Highness. It definitely is a bad movie, yet I enjoy it. I admit the lake bath scene is part of the enjoys a able aspect. But even if it was not there, the movie is actually a good dungeons and dragons film. It's not marketed as such, but for sure that's a d&d session . Only thing missing iso opening with a young fighter clearing rats in an tavern Cellars.
