The best of the worst

[mlady_france]

After watching Spaceballs last night and a movie called Thumbwars (more on that latter), I desided to find out what other people's favorite worst movies, books, video games, jokes, etc. . . are. You know what I mean, those movies that are so poorly made you have to just laugh the hole way through. If you have a really bad one I want to hear it!

Now for those of you (and I'm sure there are many) who don't know that Thumbwars is, it is yet another spoof of Star Wars, this time staring an all thumb cast. It's the worst 36 mins you will ever sit through, but makes me die laughing every time. How acn you go wrong with lines like:
"Good is good and bad is bad"
"I have to help uncle Sundead and Aunt Gonnabiteit with the harvest"
"Now touch your tounge to mine to make it all official"
"I am a puppet"
"Woohoo! I'm naked!"
and my favorite: "Loke I am. . . Your mother!"

To top things all off, There is a whole series of these thumb movies including: Bat Thumb, The God Thumb, and of course Thumbtanic. There are others, but I think I've gone on evough about thumbs.

Hey! Spaceballs rocked.

*giggles* I was really talking more about the Thumb Wars thing. Spaceballs was just part of the double feature.

'The Creeping Terror'

Makes 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' look like Oscar material.

Another fave: 'Hot Rods to Hell' which contains lines like
'It all came back to me..the screech of brakes, the crashing glasss..Jingle Bells!'

Killer Klowns from Outer Space!

Carnivourous popcorn, human beings turned into cotton candy to provide a food source, shadow puppets of terror.

And lines like "Don't be afraid. They just want to kill us." said by a dead man with a Killer Klown's hand shoved up his butt.

Hilarious!

I remeber that movie! It scared the pants of off my friend when we watched it. But he was easy to scare.

So bad it's great, but that's really the point. Anytime you see a movie who's catch phrase is "Trapped in time, surrounded by evil, low on gas.", you know it's gonna be cool.


EVIL SHEILA: "Thou didst find me beautiful once."

ASH: "Honey...You got real ugly."

that's great! but I can't seem to place it. It sounds familure

Almost any Australian film can be guaranteed to be bad ; there are no more than three exceptions to this rule in the last 50 years.

ASH: "Honey...You got real ugly."

Ash: "Hail to the king baby!."

When that's one of the last lines of the movie, you know you just watched Oscar calibur performances at their finest.

That one was a hoot!

My favourite line: "Good. Bad. I'm the one with the gun."

And of course Ashe forgetting the magic words which every SF geek in the theatre knew.

A Man Who Knows His Movies!!!

"The Creeping Terror" is easily right down there with the worst films of all time.

The story behind it is delicious. It was written/produced/directed/starred-in by "Art J. Nelson" and featured his supposedly jail-bait girlfriend. They shot it in Lake Tahoe. where Nelson not only used plain old townspeople as actors, but actually charged them to be in the film. He also charged the composer ("Dr." Frederic C. Kopp) to compose the gratingly irritating music (piano, bongo drums, organ, xylophone and trumpet.

After he finished shooting, he lost the soundtrack in post-production, so the entire film is narrated. In other words, when one actor is speaking to another, the narrator says, "Martin told him he could go to hell, to which Barney replied, "Oh yeah?")

The flick actually opened but quickly sank out of sight. Art J. Nelson and his girlfriend disappeared and have never been found. The movie surfaced on late-late-late network TV in the 70's, but now has to be bought from Amazon. It's a collector's item. The whole story is in the Medved's Golden Turkeys book.

It's a true gem.

That's priceless. Charging people to be in a movie? Brilliant! Now I have to go find it so I can see it for myself.

 

[mlady_france]

This is all great stuff! Keep it comming, I'm making a list of all the must watch worst movies! I'll have an all night bad-flick-athon

 

[Op_Cit]

I can't be the only one here who's seen "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"...

Can I?

You know, "Puberty Love" and all that...?

Oh my gosh! I saw part of that, but then they turned it into a cartoon! It was the best. . . I mean worst! I loved it!

 

[hmmnmm]

I can't think of anything specific at the moment but I always enjoyed bad detective/mystery novels from the 1950s. The worse the better.

Nah, the best part is when he comes climbing out of the pit, with the chainsaw attached to his missing hand, and looks around asking: "All, who wants some? You want some? How about you? You wnat a little?"

Then, the knight draws his sword and Ash just suddenly happens to have his shotgun available...

That movie was awesome, but is that technically what you were looking for? Movies that were designed to be good for being bad? Or were you looking for movies that were bad without intent?

Watch any episode of Mystery Science theater and you will see horribly bad movies, lol. Of course, it's not the movies themselves you laugh at, but the cracks the crew of the S.O.L. make during them.

I'm a sucker for the original MST with the old Joel. I always thought those were the funniest.

Which reminds me... what was the name of that 3-D sci fi movie that came out in the early 80's?
