Bad&Funny Movie Wanted
 

I was wondering if anyone here had a recommendation for a movie that's so bad, it's funny.

It has to be a movie that's bad... but is still amusing somehow. I can think of "Glen or Glenda?" by Ed Wood, but it's black and white... and I'd prefer a colour movie.

Thanks in advance.

Halloween III was recently discussed on these here boards. I find it largely amusing despite its attempt at horror.

Showgirls.

Plan 9 from Outer Space (alas, in b&w)

Jack Frost....and not the one with Michael Keaton.

Halloween III is horrible, but I find the concept of people's heads being turned into bug-filled custard too disgusting to laugh. It's really gross and stupid.

Hell, the phrase "bug filled custard" alone gets me smilin'.

Or the one with Micheal Keaton for that matter. I'm mean seriously, that movie is awful and has some of the worst lines ever.

"A snow dad is better than no dad?"

I mean seriously.

Any friday the thirteenth movie.

Haha, can't say I've had the (dis)pleasure of seeing that gem of a flick.

Legend (Tom Cruise) was pretty damn laughable.

It's horrible.

Here's another quote:

Michael Keaton to his son: You're the man!
Kid in reply: You're the man!
Michael Keaton in response: No! I'm the SNOWman!

I too often forget this movie when discussing really bad films. I cannot allow this to happen anymore.

I... kinda... uh... like Legend.

Damn.. and I liked that movie...

For the average person, the Evil Dead series probably falls into that so bad it's funny... although.. once again, I like that series too so..

Sorry, boys...I'm more of a Willow guy. :D

Bad Taste.

Leonard Part 6.

dola..

Everyone NEEDS a 1:1 scale Lord of Darkness...

Willow rocks too! I love me some Mad Martigan!

I got one! The remake of Island of Doctor Moreau, with Val Kilmer and Marlon Brando. Horrendous and a hoot to boot.

Freddy got fingered

Stupid Daikinis.

In the vein of Showgirls, Glitter (that Mariah Carey vehicle) is supposed to be laughably bad, but I have never seen it.

There's a lot of movies here to check out. :D

That and Joanne Whalley(-Kilmer) is smokin' hot!

You should probably check out rottentomatoes.com

Wanna breed?

Uh. Manos, anyone? I guess without MST3k it would be more painful and less entertaining.

In The Woods
any of the Turkish blockbuster remakes (Turkish E.T., Turkish Star Wars,Turkish Wizard of Oz, etc)
Pinata: Survival Island (yes, it's about a killer pinata)
Drainiac


EDIT: Whoops, after some IMDB review, the movie I referenced is titled "In The Woods" rather than "Into The Woods"

C.H.U.D. II: Bud the Chud.

Starring the inimitable F. Murray Abaham, I humbly offer for your consideration:

The Darkling

What's wrong with that line? He's right. A snow dad is better than no dad

Oh, and how could we leave Mac And Me off of this list?

Critters.

Killer Clowns from Outer Space.

How about

Saturday the 14th

There is no such movie, IMHO.

Saw it in the movie theater. I was big into Gimme a Break and saw it for the oldest sister. She even had a bathtub scene that fueled my fantasies for a while.

Is he right? Is he?

Take a look at this monstrosity! It's terrifying! Not bug filled custard terrifying (the Butterman is a disturbed individual), but terrifying nonetheless.

Cabin Boy

HELL NO....thats where the Fancy Lads Football League came from....the movie is gold....gold I say!!!:cool:

Out of the way, Peck!

Weekend At Bernie's

Ice Cream Man. Maybe the only movie that Clint Howard is in that his brother didn't direct.

Manos: Hands of Fate

Worst movie ever made. Beats Plan 9, hands down. No pun intended.

From what I've heard, the movie was made on a bet that some guy (who has no directing experience) couldn't make a film.

It's so bad it's hilarious.

I don't know, i think it's funny no matter what. That film is horrible. ;)

I submit Hell Comes to Frogtown, starring Rowdy Roddy Piper.

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen is I'm Gonna Git You, Sucka


I probably also enjoyed Strange Brew a little more than I should have.

Classic spoof, but I would put that one in the category with the Airplane, Naked Gun category. Not bad movies, just slapstick comedy.

There is a little known horror spoof made in the very early 80's called "Student Bodies" which is hard to find, but if you are horror movie fan but also like slapstick, it is the original "Scary Movie".

They Call Me Bruce

Italian horror film called "Demons", which somehow spawned a few sequels.

Best movie to watch if you want to laugh at a bad movie is:

No Retreat, No Surrender

I have watched this movie more than 3,000 times for the sole reason that it is so bad it is funny.

I thought that movie was pretty funny. Then again I was like 9 or 10 when I saw it.

Speaking of the Great White North I had the pleasure of catching Canadian Bacon on Encore about a year ago and laughed my ass at how all the stupid things that were going on in the movie were actually now happening in real life years after the movie was made.

You have to watch this movie to understand the level of inteligence and the level of spin that must of been comming out of the White House when Bush took this country to war, Post 9/11. If you haven't seen Canadian Bacon since 9/11 this would be a great movie to catch again. If you have not seen it at all this is a must view. The only thing dumber than this movie is real life.


Edit: Be warned, this movie was written and directed by Michael Moore in 1995. Something I just found out by reading the reviews over at IMDB.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

Howard the Duck.

Actually, I remember enjoying these when I was like 6 and watched them with my dad, but I think if I watched them now I'd have a vastly different opinion.

Motel Hell

Tagline: It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent fritters

The movie features BOTH Wolfman Jack and Cliff Clavin. 'Nuff said.

Honorable Mention:

Night Patrol

This classic features a plethora of "big" names...

Linda Blair, The Unknown Comic, Billy Barty, Andrew Dice Clay and a most memorable scene stealing cameo by recently departed Pat Morita

"Uomo puma, L'" otherwise known as "Puma Man"!

I highly recommend the MST3K'd version.

Cheers!

Does anyone know if MST3K ever released their version of Santa Clause invades Mars?

Man, I love me some bad movies. I'm sad to say that I've seen probably 80% of the movies mentioned so far in this thread....even worse is taht I don't consdier half of them as bad. Strange Brew? That's a great goddamn movie. Stupid? Yes, but intentionally so. Bad? I'm taking you to the loony bin.

Some personal faves:

National Lampoon's Last Resort - This was one of the last Corey Haim/Corey Feldman vehicles produced (at least I think/hope), and was released in 1994. This movie makes no fucking sense. It gives the impression that someone spent a week training a crack-addled chimpanzee in the basics of movie editing.....and then gave up somewhere around day two.

Going Bananas - Did you ever wonder what Dom Deluise, Jimmie 'JJ' Walker, and the kid from 'Over the Top' (another awful movie) were doing in 1988? They were putting together this little slice of heaven! "Sure that cast sounds magnificent..." you say, "but does it have a monkey?" YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT IT DOES!!!!! Oh no, wait, it doesn't...it's got a guy in a monkey suit who talks babytalk. Close enough. Every scene in 'Going Bananas' lasts three times longer than it should....there's some Keystone Kops routine in a circus that I swear goes on for 3 days.

Eye of the Tiger - Gary Busey. Yaphet Koto. A small town terrorized by crack-makin' bikers and a corrupt sheriff. Busey's wife gets killed by them crazy coked up bikers in an attempt to run him out of town, but the subtlety is lost on Busey, forcing the bikers to unearth his wife's coffin and deposit it outside of Busey's house. Busey still won't leave town, so the bikers kidnap his daughter. Of course Busey must seek out the biker compound and extract his revenge...in a monster truck covered with grenade launchers and machine guns, while Yaphet Koto jams to 80s james brown and tosses grenades from the bi-plane he's piloting while dressed in WWI fighter gear complete with a white scarf and a bomber jacket. Also, Busey shoves a stick of dynamite up a mute's ass. Best. Movie. Ever.

On Deadly Ground - GOD, I love Seagall. Seriously. This is one of his best/worst, as it's the usual bone-crunching goodness, but in the most eco-friendly way possible. Is it the usual cast of chumps, losers, and rappers fleshing out the cast of this fine Seagall film? Oh no, it's Michael Caine, Billy Bob Thornton and R. Lee Ermey (gunnery sergeant from full metal jacket), and they're all EEEEEEEVIL.....as well as hamming it up as much as humanly possible. Stick around after the flick and enjoy a 64-hour sermon/guilt-trip on how to treat your mother earth, straight from Seagall himself.

Yeah, it's actually on a DVD entitled "The Essentials", and it comes with Manos: The Hands Of Fate

I run 4 video stores for a living so I know of a few....

Someone earlier mentioned Strange Brew...this film is a classic. I have a friend with a dog named Hosehead.

Dude Where's My Car and Harold & Kumar Go To Whitecastle are both very dumb but hystericaly funny.

All of the National Lampoon movies are good for a laugh...
Blackball, Going the Distance, Gold Diggers, Van Wilder, there are others but I can't remember them at the moment.

Someone mentioned Student Bodies....another classic. It was a USA Up All Night staple.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes I & II.

Swamp Thing I & II

Caddyshack 2 is rediculously stupid but very funny

There is a tremendously cheesy Sci-Fi flick called Battle Beyond the Stars with Richard Thomas and George Peppard that is fun to watch.

The last 2 Chucky movies are more comedy than horror...they are good for a laugh.

Wagons East(John Candy's last movie) and Almost Heroes(Chris Farley's last flick.

Dirty Work with Norm McDonald is a flick my friends and I still quote.

That's a good start.

Witness starring Harrison Ford, from some time in the 80s. I could not believeit was an Oscar candidate whilst watching this. It's hillariously bad.

Witness is a fantasitc movie. Not only is it a great plot with good performances it's got full frontal from Kelly McGillis. Can't go wrong.

I like this movie. I saw it in the theater when I was a kid. I really enjoyed it. It was sort of a very loose type of the Magnificent Seven in space if I recall correctly...

Peppard was the Space Cowboy. Sybil Danning was in it. They had some lizardman dude who flew a spaceship that looked like a submarine (he even had a periscope for some reason). John Boy from the Waltons was the main lead. They had these three white alien dudes who flew a flying saucer. They ate a hotdog in the movie. Well, one at it, but all three tasted it. They were linked psychicaly or something. A classic, cheesey sci-fi film.

The other thing that stunned me is that other people seem to like it.

Seriously, I watched this as compulsory viewing for a film class and everyone in my class thought it was awful. Then I went on IMDB and it is rated relatively highly and it won an Oscar! Sometimes I just don't know what to believe...

yep...a good old flick...the computer's name was Nell....the villian tried to transplant body parts from other races. Those mind connected people you were talking about...they tried to make the arm kill the guy once it was transplanted LOL...good old movie. Robert Vaughan was in it too.

In fact, doesn't Robert Vaughan pretty much play like the exact same character he did in the Magnificent Seven? Or something close to it? I haven't seen this movie in probably 20 years, but it obviously stuck with me for some reason.

I remember the arm thing too! It was ridiculous!

I also saw some movie on HBO (again 20 years or so ago) that used the exact same spaceship (John Boy's ship - the one with the breasts). I have no idea what the name of that movie was/is/. I should check IMDB sometime when it's not a quarter to two in the morning on a school night.

Absolutely! I can't remember that one either but they re-used a number of the same ships. They used the huge ship of the bad guys for sure. Richard Thomas' ship looked like a big moose head. George Peppard had that crazy belt that dispensed ice, scotch, and soda water. ROFL One of the mercenaries had the two short guys that gave off heat. I have to try and find that flick on DVD.

Funniest movie I've ever seen.

enough said.

Need more reason to see Bad Taste?

Here is a quick summary...


I also can't recommend Evil Ed enough. Such great lines such as "Where the fuck's my chainsaw?" and "It's a no brainer"--after removing someones brain.

Batman & Robin

Watching this movie made me appreciate what the people in A Clockwork Orange went through.

Still arguably the best bad movie out there.

The Lake 'starring' Yasmin Bleeth. Poor poor poor TV sci-fi movie that clearly ran out of money, as it just ends at the point where the final climax is I imagine supposed to start.

I checked the title on imdb, and no-one there seemed to notice this minor problem, so tried to find more information, but this is such a bad film that there is little on the net according to google.

The best evidence as to how bad it is? Put it this way - Yasmin Bleeth actually omits it from her filmography on her own website! :D

Get the mst3k version.. otherwise you'll never make it through it.. hell daddytorgo should have said this first :)

for a more contemporary BAD movie.. get cellular.. its so bad.. its like a car wreck.. you just can't help but watch

Half a Loaf Of Kung Fu.

I almost forgot: What about PackerFanatic's movie? :)

I think I may have 2 candidates...

The Leprachaun and... Children of the Corn 2.

Both had me laughing during the serious parts and staring blankly during the "action" scenes...

What about that movie from like a year ago? Kung Pow: Enter the Fist or something like that?

/tk

no, that was just good. Sine yo pitty on the runny kine.

I gots to say na nay no about that one. Still a pretty good one to laugh at.

Thanks for all the responses. I ended up picking Bad Taste because I was interested in it. Entertaining, low-budget movie. :)

Since you revived the thread, I'm going to offer one:

DC Cab: What did Joel Schumacher direct just before St. Elmo's fire and The Lost Boys? This gem: DC Cab. Any movie staring Mr. T and Gary Busey is an instant classic, but add in a saxopone playing Bill Maher and you've got bad/funny movie gold.

That time of year again. ;) Does anyone want to bring special attention to any bad/cheesy movies? I could just go through the list given before and pick at random, but I thought I'd give FOFC the option of giving me something I HAVE to bring.

One of my friends is bringing this:
http://imdb.com/title/tt0311361/

Haha. Can't wait.

Kentucky Fried Movie.

Yeah, but that was a spoof, so I think it should be exempted from the criteria, which I assume to be, it is so bad that it's funny. Unintentionally humorous.

Attack of the 60-Foot Centerfold
Death Race 2000
Tales from the Hood
Drive (starring Mark Dacascos, Kadeem Hardison, and briefly but hilariously Brittany Murphy)

without a doubt:

Kung Pow: http://imdb.com/title/tt0240468/

Thank you. I was mildly surprised this wasn't mentioned earlier.

Pootie Tang

I've seen Kung Pow, and I think some of my friends did too. Was Cabin Boy a really bad movie or something?

Death Race 2000 has two things going for it: Carradine and Sly. Is this a cheesy movie? If so, I'll try to track it down.

What a great movie.

Evil Alien Conquerors
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0305556/

This movie is hilarious but is completely stupid and seems to have been shot in a weekend. My wife watched 4-5 minutes and had to go to another room.

I'm embarrased to have enjoyed Scarecrow: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0341564/

Hahaha we watched this one last year! It was so awesome for what we were looking for.

I couldn't get past the opening scene. Dear God, the theme song is going through my head now.

THANKS FOR RUINING MY THANKSGIVING!

Buckaroo Bonzai, though I don't think it's ALL that bad.

I second and third this one.

Maybe Killer Clowns from Outer Space, or Critters.

evil alien conquerors
evil alien conquerors

OH MY FUCK GET THAT SONG OUT OF MY HEAD

Dola

Seriously, Death Race 2000 just to hear Sylvester Stallone say, "You know, Myra, some people might think you're cute. But me, I think you're one very large baked potato."
