I get hella stoned and watch Foodfight! at least once a year. It’s my “favorite” movie.

Everything about it, from the implied beastiality between Charlie Sheen and Hillary Duff, to the weird gay bat, to the shitweasel is a masterclass in what not to do in a movie. It transcends badness and becomes something sublime. The entire plot is about how store brands/generics are Nazis, and one of the Nazis absolutely chews the scenery in a way that makes Brian Blessed look reserved.

No ones said "The Room" yet, so I'll go with that. Saw it once with Tommy and Greg in the audience, and another with just Greg (and a bunch more without either). But the ones with the cast there, you couldn't take a step in the theater without stepping on a plastic spoon.

Either that or anything by Neil Breen.

Torsk på Tallinn.

Daredevil, the one with Ben Affleck

[-] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

The Riddick Chronicles. Bad acting, bad CGI, Simple stupid inconsistent plot, one dimensional characters. perfect bad sci-fi.

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I liked them and have seen far worse. But to each their own.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 4 points 3 hours ago

I have a real soft spot for how absurdly bad/good those films are.

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 hours ago

Probably Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, but honorable mention to Chopping Mall and Primo Baby for being so terrible they're amusing.

[-] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Slotherhouse!

runner up would be Zombeavers

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Zombeavers is amazing. The original end credit song really pulls it together haha.

[-] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Bubba Ho-Tep. Bruce Campbell is a still-alive Elvis forgotten in a nursing home. He’s got to fight a mummy that’s sucking the souls out of old people’s assholes. Also Black JFK assists. It really shouldn’t work, but it somehow manages to.

[-] ClownStatue@piefed.social 3 points 3 hours ago

I actually saw Bruce do a Q&A after this movie in a theater when it came out. Crazy afternoon.

[-] kalpol@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago

The Drafthouse? RIP OG drafthouse

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Sucker Punch

The internet loves to shit on it. I've always enjoyed it. It's a visual/audio treat.

[-] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

See I never got that either. There is some kind of story about escapism and dealing with trauma in there, but it's definitely second fiddle to the fact that you get to see badass ladies with samurai swords running a bunny mech through ww1 trenches and fighting giant samurai with a gatling gun. Sure it's dumb, but so is Fast and Furious

[-] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zip 12 points 8 hours ago

Kung pow enter the fist. Steve oedekerk, not Bob, intentionally made a bad movie by over dubbing rewriting bad 70s martial arts films. It's absurd and stupid. I love it.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

So many good quotes from that film.

[-] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 hours ago

THAT'S A LOTTA NUTS!

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 hours ago

We trained him wrong, on purpose, as a joke!

[-] Asafum@lemmy.world 19 points 9 hours ago

Velocipastor is an amazing bad movie that intended to be bad. There's even a scene where a car explodes and it's just some text that says "VFX of car exploding"

It's about a pastor that can turn into a velociraptor... When there's gore it's like obviously fake, like a head rolls off and it's clear as day that it's a mannequin head. It's so bad it's amazing.

Oh yeah, and there are ninjas.

[-] EditsHisComments@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

And the fact every flashback of the pastor was in a church of a different denomination lol

[-] scops@reddthat.com 1 points 5 hours ago

It was the biggest bomb in history for almost two decades, but I always enjoyed Cutthroat Island. It was a fun pirate romp before Jack Sparrow sashayed onto the scene

[-] scytale@piefed.zip 24 points 10 hours ago

Equilibrium (2002) wasn’t well received when it came out. I think it’s still “bad” on RT but imdb has it at 7.3 now. I don’t care if gun-kata is silly and dumb, it looks cool as fuck.

[-] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 2 points 3 hours ago

"Sense offender!"

[-] one_old_coder@piefed.social 5 points 7 hours ago

I loved that movie, thanks for reminding me about it.

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 5 points 8 hours ago

This was one of my favorites as a kid. It was heavily influenced by The Matrix obviously

[-] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 1 points 3 hours ago

The tagline on the movie box even said as much: "Forget 'The Matrix'! This movie will blow you away!"

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 8 hours ago

The dog scene absolutely broke me. Probably the hardest I cried at a movie when I saw it for the first time.

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Have you watched Grave of the Fireflies? I cried for hours afterwards. One of the best movies I've seen. Refuse to watch it again.

[-] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

The end fight where he slides the clips for future use is chef kiss good

[-] Skyline969@piefed.ca 6 points 7 hours ago

Either Master of Disguise (1/100 on RT) or Joe Dirt (9/100 on RT)

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 hours ago

But first, let's shoot fireballs at it.

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Turtle! Turtle!

[-] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Master of disguise left me in physical pain. Not from laughter. Just from how bad it is. And I like bad movies.

[-] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Dirte'

[-] Skyline969@piefed.ca 3 points 7 hours ago

Quit tryin’ to church it up, Dirt!

[-] cattywampas@lemmy.world 27 points 11 hours ago

By all accounts The Boondock Saints is a "bad" movie but we all watched it when we were 12 and thought it was fucking awesome and still do.

[-] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 hours ago

Bad? By whom? I fucking love that film.

That Speed Racer movie that the Wachowskis made. I’m not gonna pretend it’s underrated, and I’m not gonna try to convince you to like it. They made it for me and me alone.

[-] duckythescientist@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago

They just released a remastered Blu-ray of it! I bought the disc, but I didn't actually have a Blu-ray player, so idk if they did a good job with the remaster yet.

The Toxic Avenger

Been over 30 years since I've seen it and it still stands as my most watched bad movie.

[-] lemmyng@piefed.ca 10 points 10 hours ago

Six String Samurai.

Amazing soundtrack. Saw the Red Elvises live in a small bar years ago. Great show.

Bulletproof Monk. It's corny but it puts a smile on my face every time.

[-] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

If you like that movie, i suggest the run down.

[-] scops@reddthat.com 2 points 5 hours ago

You like thunderstorms? Huh big boy? A little thunder, a little lightning...?

AKA Welcome to the Jungle outside the US. Fun movie.

I thought you meant the H-Street skateboard video with the same name. That video is one of skateboarding's most influential videos ever.

Raw Force (1982)

Martial arts students visit an island with ghosts of dishonored fighters. They encounter a Hitler lookalike running a female slavery operation, leading to encounters with cannibals, piranhas, zombies, and chaos.

Absolutely stupid low budget insanity.

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

It's a tie between: The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension

See John Lithgow chew the scenery as the villain, plus Jamaicans are the good guy aliens. Classic bad movie, but fun to watch.

and

Remo Williams

It's terrible, it's racist and sexist in a 1980s way. But it has Kate Mulgrew and she's awesome in it.
