I just finished watching the documentary Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!
Which is about the B (often Z) grade movies made in Australia in the 1970's & 80's.
Quentin Tarantino who appears in and helped finance documentary says he got a lot of inspiration from the movies.
So what are your favourite bad movies?
Some of the bad movies I like include:
Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness
and anything with Steven Seagal

Yeh Seagal is a guilty pleasure... Out for Justice is one of my favourites.
I never laughed so hard in my life.
Bad Taste.
Jean-Claude van Damme punch-up flicks (better fight scenes than Seagal).
But for unadulterated, insanely hillarious badness, it is hard to beat Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls.
Van Damme better than Seagal?! What are you smoking?
I never laughed so hard in my life.
I like the look of that one.
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension
I don't need to explain why, do I?
I never laughed so hard in my life.
Oh man, this is amazing..

You missed this one, Drizzt.

Oh.. my ... god
This has to be where my cousin got the idea to tell me there was a killer snake in the toilet when I was 8 years old. He said the sound of the tank refilling was the snake hissing. I was terrified to sit on the toilet for longer than I care to admit.
And now I absolutely have to see the movie to see how both the beach scene and the bazooka snake scene are woven into the plot (I'm sure it will be masterfully done)
I watched UHF again last night. Laughed my ass off. But, man, that's a bad movie.
;0)
Oh my god, UHF is one of the gretaest bad movies ever! Its hilarious!
I also have to nominate Planet Terror, but it was intentionally bad, so I dunno if it counts. Also, I find myself transfixed by anything from Troma Films, I have to watch it, no matter how horrible. (Preacher Man, Hollywood ZAP, Class Of Nuke em High, etc.) And a huge +1 to the Evil Dead series. Oh, and i also have to add Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. Ive just now realized how many bad(yet good) movies Ive seen.(Also Doom Generation! WooHoo!)
Manos, Hands of Fate. Hands down the best worst movie ever. Anything on MST3K, really.

I saw a copy of this movie lying on the shelf of a Blockbuster - when on the front of the VHS (yes, there were still VHS !!! the movie itself is from 2003) I saw a guy with a TRIPLE Carbine, I told my friend: "Now we HAVE to see this..."
big trouble in little china. :-)
Carpenter is a genius.
;)Of course, I should give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you misread the title of the thread as "Movies so freaking awesome we must honor them at all times."
;)
+1000
big trouble in little china. :-)
Well you know what Jake Cutter has to say about that..
However if you want good/bad films with Kurt Russell..I nominate Escape from LA..or Captain Jack..or Hero High

Of course not - van Damme is even worse than Segal! Isn't that what we're talking about? I mean, Cyborg is so bad it makes Above The Law look like My Dinner With André.
Having said that, I still think van Damme kicks Segal's fat, ponytailed ass.
Manos, Hands of Fate. Hands down the best worst movie ever. Anything on MST3K, really.
Zo
Huh? What? No, no... Manos is so bad that it's absolutely rancid and can force a Fortitude save even if you're immune to disease/poison.
Ok guys you asked for the really bad movies so here goes.
Kilma,Queen of the Amazons(kung-fu amazons that practiced virgin fu)
gator bait 1&2(bayou revenge after little sister was killed by bad cops)
Make them die slowly(Woman raped repeatedly gets some interesting revenge on her rapists)
America 3000(women rule and men are used as sex slaves & heavy labor)
Even though I LOVED these movies and yes I mean loved them I can still watch them to this day the Billie Jack series had some bad acting in it. Then again I still love to watch the ORIGINAL Walking Tall starring Joe Don Baker. If your gonna watch any of these movies folks just remember they were made in the 70's when gratuitous nudity was the order of the day so you'll see plenty of T&A. None of these movies are recommended for todays youth, thank goodness I was born in 70.
Hmm.
Split Second. (Big f---ing guns!) (and most Rutger Hauer movies--he can make any movie better/watchable).
I Come in Peace.(Dolph Lundgren and Brian Benben. Seriously). Awesome explosions combined with flying, murderous CDs.
I'm sure there's more, but those are the ones I can think of at the moment.

I Come in Peace was called "Dark Angel" I think Australia.
Battle Truck and Deathstalker 2 rule. Warning the clip for Deathstalker 2 is NSFW.
american 3000, how is this any different then in 2010? i was also born in the 70's and enjoy this style of movieOk guys you asked for the really bad movies so here goes.

The main diffrence between the movie and real life is the movie was a gross exateration of the femminist movment kindda like that CBS made for TV movie Amazons.
As another 70's guy do you notice the diffrence between the cartoons we grew up with and the crap they put on TV today. We had Battel of the superfriends, shazam and isis hour all kinds of(cheesy now) great stuff to entertain us growing up. Granted they beat you upside the head with morality and do the right thing but they were fun to watch.

I grew up watching Star Blazers, Battle of the Planets, Thundarr the Barbarian, and Johnny Quest. People DIED in those shows.
Big difference from the GI Joe cartoon, where everyone was capable of shooting guns out of each others' hands, but not hitting center mass.
Hawk, the Slayer. I own it on DVD. Had to have it. A far better D&Dish movie than the D&D movie.

lol I totally forgot about that movie, awesome stuff :)
Flesh and Blood

I would contend that Monster A Go-Go is worse. I have seen both, and at least Manos had a "monster" (of sorts).
Thundarr the Barbarian is just chock full awesome-sauce!
Ive always wanted to run a campaign based on it. That or the Hair-bear Bunch.
Or a trio of Psychometabolic Pandas...

Oh.my.god. I hope you are not referring to Pandamonium...

Star Blazers (aka Space Battleship Yamato) and Battle of the Planets (aka Techno Ninja Team Gatchaman) were GREAT shows... too bad their non-Japanese adaptation were heavily rehashed - especially Gatchaman :(
I could add Robotech to this list, but ONLY for the first chapter - the one based on the Macross saga.
(I know, I know, I'm a japanimation fanboy...)
Back to the topic, has anybody seen Braindead, the third movie directed by Peter Jackson (the first being Bad taste, the second Meet the Feebles - which I never saw, sadly)? There were some scenes which were quite memorable (like the priest - God's Ninja - in the cemetery)... and the Zombies were TRULY immortal !!!

Dude thats easy just take a look at the rules for Shadorun 3rd edition and go from there.
We did a Thundarr type world useing those rules and it completly rocked. Big freaking rocket propeled grenades, tanks,armor all the magic,spirits and elementals you could ask for. Be careful not to go too uber on the sun sword though. The DM used the rules for a lightsaber in shadowrun to simulate a post apocolyptic D&D world(God we are such geeks)|

"I kick ass for the Lord!" The zombie tea party was pretty cool too.

Speaking of tea parties, a friend of mine got a copy of Dirty Ho, a kung fu movie that had one of the greatest tea ceremony martial arts fights ever. The assassin and the hero fought while the tea tray went back and forth between them and they never spilt a drop.
Buckaroo Banzai, made to be bad and they succeeded.
Nemisis, bad 80's cyberpunk.
Black Dynamite!
But that was intentionally bad.
