Bad Film Appreciation Society Thread


For those who love movies that are so bad...they're good. Starting a thread of some lesser known wonderfully terrible films--(guessing most bad movie fans already know about The Room, Troll 2, Birdemic, Manos, etc.). Feel free to add yours.

Road to Revenge (1993) John De Hart is a real-life lawyer who self-financed this insane action movie about an ex-cop who becomes a vigilante to bring down a satanic cult that has taken over his town. Yes, it's that good.

Street Wars (1991) After his brother's murder, Sugarpop becomes the leader of an LA street gang and creates a "ghetto air force" (straight from the movie) with ultralight gliders. Poster quote: Rule the skies, control the streets.

Fatal Deviation (1998) The greatest mystical Irish martial arts film ever made.

After Last Season (2009) The budget for this...umm...thriller?...was supposedly $5 million. Judging by the movie itself, $4.9999 million was dedicated to catering.

Hoop Soldiers (2001) The movie the NBA doesn't want you to see! One cage. One ball. No rules. A hard-hitting expose of underground "cage ball" where refs don't exist and anything goes.

Undefeatable (1993) A badass lady sets out to avenge her sister's death at the hands of a crazed martial arts rapist. If you love fight scenes where everyone is wearing acid-washed jeans, this is the movie for you.

Running on Empty Dreams (2009) MC user roxist said it best: This has to be the worst lesbian film I've ever seen.

Ben & Arthur (2002) MC user AzumangaDaioh nails it: This is the gay lovechild of The Room and Birdemic.

Carlita's Secret (2004) I'm guessing Eva Longoria tried to burn every copy of this DVD ever made...but some survived. Terrible movies...like life...find a way.

The Champagne Gang (2006) Imagine "The Town" but instead of 4 Boston dudes, you get 4 sassy ladies and instead of stealing money, they're stealing...postage stamps and instead of a story that makes sense, you get...this.

Can confirm how entertainingly bad this is.

The villain has the greatest crazy eyes in movie history.

And he's also completely delusional. How does he think that's wife?

Interview with Don Niam (Stingray). Imagine if we'd gotten FIVE movies like this!

My Kung Fu instructor produced Undefeatable and made a deal with Godfrey Ho to direct it. Back at that time the formula for actors was to have a person that could be a lead co-star in a film and build your name in the marketplace. The plan was to make five movies and based on the sales and markets of the sales and success of Undefeatable, the next I would have starred in with a bigger name actor and keep making films with me as the lead.

Never say never.

I saw this one for the first time this year and it was great!!

Hits every note of a bad D list movie.

Just watched the trailer. THIS. LOOKS. AMAZING. I will buy this straight from Uganda if I have to.

Never heard of it but watching just a few seconds I think Ali G should be in there somewhere

reply

The Ugandan’s have some nice Helicopters in this one. Lol

Actium Maximus (2005) Bad in every possible way. I've seen Birdemic and thought nothing could top it until I saw this mess.

reply

Troma is usually a solid bet for good bad films.

The VelociPastor (2017)

Helen Keller vs Nightwolves (2015)

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)

Rapture-Palooza (2013)

reply

Guys, the clear winner is the spectacularly crappy masterpiece...

BARB WIRE (1996)

Surely the most ridiculous, unbelievable, hammily-acted abortion to ever be so thoroughly entertaining. You just know when Pammy Anderson emerges from that bubble bath guns-a-blazing that you are in for something really terrible and special.

I love it so much 😂

Raw Force (1982)
One of my most prized DVDs. Exploitation at its finest. 20 genres in one film.

That looks amazing!
I need to see this

reply

I know you’ll enjoy Cameron Mitchell as the crusty sea captain.

reply

This must've made George Romero insanely jealous!

reply

Miami Connection (1987)
You’ll laugh and cry. One of the most jealous brothers in film history.

Miami Connection deserves to be in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry.

Their on top because they play to win.

reply

Has there ever been a film with a better theme song?

Friends through eternity
Loyalty, honesty
We'll stay together
Through thick or thin
Friends forever
We'll be together
We're on top
'Cause we play to win

You've got a friend in me
When times get tough you'll see
We've been together for so long
When I'm weak you make me strong
I know I can depend on you
To show the way and see me through

reply

Yes I agree, but start at 10:55. The brother despised those lyrics and his sister being in that band. Lol
