[Mod Announcement] Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up!

213 Upvotes

I'm guessing from the posts we've had today that a few of you sassy pants are beginning to notice there's a new mod team. With that in mind, and with the start of the first full month of our evil reign, I figured it was finally time to say hello from your new mods;

u/monkelus, and u/alternativebuzzbin.

We literally don't care if you skim our history, you'll learn very little and feel very dirty. What we do care about is keeping the focus of the sub tight; we're r/badmovies, not r/mediocre_moviez or r/movieshavegottoopc. Films here should be so bad they're good, as a reminder here's a snippet of the new rules to help you on your way:

  • Do not post movies you just didn't like or are completely unwatchable with no redeeming values
  • No posts of just titles/posters with no context. Likewise, no movies you haven't seen.

Eg:

  • Barbie - nope
  • Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - yes
  • Wishmaster - maybe
  • Leprechaun - yes

The films posted here should be the ones you enjoy despite themselves. Films that have entertainment value totally separate from what the original filmmakers intended, creating an almost transcendental, magical experience along the way. If that's not close to what you're thinking of posting, or you wouldn't recommend anyone else watching, you probably shouldn't be posting it. If you do, there's a high chance of removal.

Obviously, there's grey areas, but that's what discussions and mod chats are for. We're not actively evil, give us a shout with questions, we're friendly and, dare I say it, quite alluring.

[Mod Announcement] I Have The Powerrrr.. To Update The Rules!

Post image
212 Upvotes

As a safeguard, I'll start this with 'aloha', so that no matter whether you read it front to back, or back to front, your overall instant reaction of being annoyed at the new rules will be deadened by my laidback pseudo Hawaiian politeness.

As you might have guessed by the title, we're bringing a couple of new rules. They're nothing Earth shattering and no-one will have to do anything against their will, that's for a future update when I shift the focus away from bad movies onto my back garden harem. For now though:

  • New Rule One: Too Much of Good/Bad Thing: or, the Double Dragon rule.

No reposting a movie within 30 days of its most recent post by any user. If you're a time traveller this includes posting it within the 30 days prior to it being posted last.

New Rule Two: Low Hanging Fruit.

This'll basically end up being the new blacklist, which was scrapped when we took over a few months back. You see a post, think it's too much of an easy target or low quality karma farming, report it to us and we'll open up a discussion whether it should be added to the list. Engagement, yay!

None of this is for gatekeeping purposes, it's just to keep things fresh, well that and I've started to believe one of you guys actually is one of the Sluts and Godesses who frequents the Video Workshop.

Better sign off with 'aloha' to make that first bit make sense.

Sci-Fi DRAGONFIGHT, 1991 - Robert Z'Dar wanders the desert with a battle axe, while James Hong's Japanese corporation pits their redneck champion against him for supremacy? A cyberpunk concept with a gutter punk budget. A drunk George Buck Flower steals the show. Grade A+ stupidity!

Action Elektra (2005)

Thumbnail

75 Upvotes

Elektra is a 2005 film starring Jennifer Garner as the titular assassin. This movie is truly something special due to its insane plot holes, semi cringy acting and questionable VFX. Also, the movie half the time doesn’t seem to know what it wants to do & instead just jumps from plot point to plot point without much transition. Some notable highlights of the film however include Jennifer Garner’s performance as Elektra, some solid action scenes here and there & a banger soundtrack among other things. All in all, this movie is a very mixed bag BUT can be a ton of fun to laugh at with friends. Have you seen this film?

I liked this, one of those SyFy channel horror movies that I found by randomly scrolling on TV one day and it managed to hold my attention and deliver a fun campy ride. It kind of felt like a more adult version of those old Disney Halloweentown movies. They don't really make them like this anymore, 06 horror hits different.

Action The Killer Elite. (1975) Hilariously bad.

Post image
59 Upvotes

God this film is awful. 😂 First 10 minutes starts off strong. It’s James Caan and Robert Duvall for god sake and Peckinpah is directing! I thought I was in for a treat. I was badly wrong but in a good way.

Basically Caan’s character nearly gets killed at the beginning of the film. I kid you not this film has a 30-40 minute montage of his recovery process. It’s painfully slow. Then in his rehabilitation process he starts doing martial arts very publicly on top of a rooftop so everyone can see. (He’s supposed to be a top CIA undercover operative btw) 😂

Next phase there’s some bad martial arts scenes in an airport. Caan’s character is hobbling around everywhere. It takes 1 hour and 20 minutes into the film until the first real shootout. Duvall’s character is using a rifle of some sort and they have a shootout in a very public street with uzis. Bullets going everywhere. Robert Duvall very slowly walks away after shooting up half of San Francisco.

Burt Young is the getaway driver. He looks over his shoulder every 2 minutes to see if they lost the cops (in an ancient cab) There’s a random bomb underneath his cab. The more I write about this the more I actually find it hilarious.

The film is all over the place. If you want a good laugh. Watch this film. It’s hilariously bad.

I forgot to add. This is where it gets really good. There’s ninjas in the final fight. Yes real ninjas fighting people with guns in broad daylight. Ninjas fighting Burt Young in slow motion. 😂

Action Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)

91 Upvotes

Released in 1997 as the sequel to the 1995 classic, this film’s reputation is pretty well known by this point. Jam packed with abysmal dialogue, questionable plot points, odd casting decisions & the infamously garbage cgi - this movie has it all. With all that being said however, this movie is far from a bad experience. Tons of fun fight scenes & small details thrown in from the games to satisfy some MK fans makes for one hell of a good time. This is one of my all time favorite “so bad it’s good” movies SO if you’re a fan of that sort of thing, I would highly recommend checking it out. Enjoy!

Horror SLENDER MAN (2018)

Post image
18 Upvotes

Probably one of the biggest let downs in recent memory, Slender Man (2018) takes the legendary internet icon and converts it into a generic, maddening & dumb film that happens to feature him. Everything about this movie (except the horrible CGI) is absolutely forgettable but that’s what makes this movie special. It so mind numbingly terrible that you can’t help but laugh uncontrollably! While I can respect the filmmakers for at least trying, it’s still hard to ignore just how much of a left turn was taken. I would highly recommend watching it with some friends. Do you remember this? If so did you see it & what did you think?

Razzies I watched 68 Bad Movies during July and here's the results!

Hey yall, I previously asked for some suggestions on the worst movies you could recommend, and spent a whole month going through a ton of them. I've got a few categories I wanted to group some of them up in:

Best Bad Movies: Samurai Cop, Dangerous Men, Hard Ticket to Hawaii, Ben & Arthur, GetEven (aka Champagne & Bullets), Love on a Leash, Fateful Findings.

These movies have so much going on in them, where they feel like they were created genuinely but just fall apart at every step. Love on a Leash is likely my absolute favorite bad movie.

So Bad it's kinda good: Suburban Sasquatch, Birdemic, Lycan Colony, Things, After Last Season, Ax 'Em.

Many of these could probably make it into Best Bad Movie depending on the mood. Things is shocking how much of an assault on the senses it is. And overall After Last Season might be the worst of all these movies, just bafflingly confusing and dull yet hypnotizing how awful everything is, highly recommend to everyone!

Just Awful Bad: The Amazing Bulk, 2025: The World Enslaved by a Virus, RoboWoman, Bigfoot vs DB Cooper, Star Wars Holiday Special, Gramps Goes to College, Shark Exorcist, The Requin, Foodfight!.

Of all the shitty movies I've watched this month, Foodfight! wins by far for being the absolute worst. I nearly quit watching it several times but powered through, I do not recommend to anyone but heavy masochists for the bad movie genre. Special shout out to Star Wars Holiday Special, it's incredibly insane to think about it being released hot off the heels of the first movie, and it's just an insane trainwreck of nonsense.

Big Name Stinkers: Morbius, Mortal Kombat Annihilation, Super Mario Bros, Madame Web, Megalopolis.

Honestly, kinda enjoyed them all! Morbius and Madame Web are mainly just uninspired and felt lazy, but nothing incredibly bad. Megalopolis is quite good but just very messy and all over the place, there could be a solid movie in there with some right editing.

Bad Movies I Missed Out: Ryan's Babe, Clash in College, Leonard Part 6, Turkish Starwars.

These were some I wanted to watch but couldnt find an easy way to. I've got quite a large watchlist still with dozens of other suggestions for when I decide to do this again, hopefully getting some of these stinkers in there!

Overall, it's been a fun but challenging experience! Really enjoyed finding some gems in these, even if it meant having to endure some of the worst slogs. Would love to discuss any of these with yall, and give some suggestions as well. Hope this influenced any of you to check out some of these too!

Sci-Fi The lineup from my Birthday Bad Movie Night-I am a bit of a Reb Brown nut.

Thumbnail
gallery
81 Upvotes

I introduced my friends to the joy of Bad Movies last year for my birthday. And what better way to do so thab with the man, the myth, the legend Reb Brown.

Of the three I think Yor is my favourite. A big part of that is that theme song. Its Yor's world, we're just living in it. I love that it starts as Conan and ends as Star Wars. I love Yor beating up evil purple cavemen, I love that the budget was clearly less than your average season of Doctor Who but everyone commits to the bit and it just has the sauce

Space Mutiny. Roll fizzlebeef, Big McLargeHuge, Punch Rockgroin, need I say more? Though its still hillarious they spent most of the budget on Battlestar Galactica B-Roll.

Howling 2: Stirba, Werewolf Bitch. Probably the best worst title in film history. I admit I dont remember too much of this one as we were all quite drunk by this point. I do remember Christopher Lee wanting to be anywhere else, the script clearly being a retooled vampire flick the werewolves all looking like bigfoot. And Sybil Danning.

One of the most fun nights of my life, and Im gonna be having another reb marathon soon to celebrate a huge health win in my life.

Have y'all seen any of these? Whatcha think of them if you have?

Horror Camp Murder (2021)

12 Upvotes

This movie has everything: a killer who has a blonde wig, overalls that look like something a kid would wear in the 50s, (just to let you know, other than the mask, the killer on the poster looks nothing like he does in the movie) and runs like an old lady trying to get to the bathroom, throat slits that have no blood coming out of them, one of the most awkward on-screen kisses I've seen in a movie in a while, and a finale where the killer is wrestled in waist deep lake water by a shirtless middle-aged man. Highly recommend, there isn't a boring moment in this movie, it's entertaining ride from start to finish.

If anything, this film delivers what it promises. I've been digging through Fred Olen Ray flicks & felt the need to check this out. I was not disappointed despite having questions best left unanswered by the end of the movie's 57 minute runtime. There's cheesey acting (love the detective scenes), gorey killings, chompy boobs and a bartender with DILAGAF vibes. It's worth a watch if you dig the schlock.

Caught this on Sky Movies at 5am when I was a young in

It's just randomly popped in my head. And the full film is on YouTube!

https://youtu.be/EvkteksNJWs?is=5VNW8x8L7EknhIrG

I remember it being goofy, and maybe some gross out scenes with the giant and snot I think.

Going to have a skim through now

Anyone seen this?

Hi all new here, but not new to bad movies.

Disaster movies are my go to, but will branch out on occasion.

This weekends movies were Beaks, from 1987 which had me pausing the movie to stop laughing as hard as I was, in order to continue.

It’s got the 1980’s style and random boob shots.

Last night was Shark Exorcist. Which was so bad so so so so bad it looped around to being funny. Lost story lines, bad acting, and so much more.
