Movies: Worst of the worst

Bangkok Dangerous, or Anaconda 3 - The Offspring?

Sad as it is to say this, I have to say Bangkok Dangerous.

Scary Movie 1-4
Date Movie
Epic Movie
Meet The Spartans

I know I'll probably be strung up, but I walked out on Saving Private Ryan.

The only movie I have ever walked out on. Pulp Fiction.

"Battlefield Earth" was pretty bad as well, but not as bad as "Pulp Fiction".

The most recent 'date movie' I would call really bad, is "The Duchess". We almost got up and walked out on it. At one point the audience collectively booed, it was really bad.

Pulp Fiction? Remind me to never take you on a movie date. I suspect our tastes differ a bit.

I never could finish Moulin Rouge

but for sheer torture, like water boarding for the brain, it would have to be any of the Fast/Furious movies

Say it isn't so, Maybee..... I'm a little twisted, and I shouldn't say this around Abu.... but I LOVE Moulin Rouge.

Oh crap. I said it out loud. I'm screwed.

Battlefield Earth is up there, but for me it has to be:

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man

Uff da! The dialog consists of one cliche after another - I kid you not.

I just watched one the other night. Has to be the worst show ever, ever:
Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs



1966
Plot: The foppish mad scientist Dr. Goldfoot (Vincent Price) plots another mad scheme to take over the world by killing off the major military leaders of every country; to that end, he creates in his secret lab a bevy of bodacious girl bombs; full-length, life-size robots that explode when embraced. Goldfoots plans become compromised when the mysterious deaths arouse the suspicions of Bill Dexter (Fabian), a former member of the Security Intelligence Command (S.I.C.) who has been expelled from the organization for being too much of a lady's man at seducing all or most of the female employees of the company. While following Dr. Goldfoot, Dexter runs into two dim-witted hotel doorman, named Franco (Franco Franchi) and Ciccio (Ciccio Ingrassia), who have aspirations toward becoming secret agents.

It was so bad I could not stop watching. Worse yet, it was without commercials so I didn't even have those to snap me out of it. It obviously was made in Italy and re-dubbed into English.
I've seen a lot of bad movies my friends but this was the worst of the worst.

Alien v Predator II.

I wish to gawd I'd read the reviews before I wasted money on that one. It was just a remake of any Halloween or Nightmare on Elm Street movie, with Aliens and Predators playing the parts of Freddy Kruger or Michael Meyers. Good teen lives, bad teens die. And the lighting was so dark, they could have saved a lot of money, and just sold the soundtrack. You can't see squat anyway.

Transformers. #1 most personally despised movie. Followed closely by Gods and Generals and Moulin Rouge.

*shudder*

Me and Abu will fight you over Transformers. To the death, perhaps. Megan Fox personally offsets any possible weaknesses in that movie. In fact, I don't really recall anything else about that movie. Were there Transformers in it?

ok, ok -- I'll grant you Megan Fox eye candy as a redeeming value.

(the *only*, relatively minor, redeeming value)

I was in school this summer, and spent my ways watching movies. 100 movies in 100 days (actually, 101 movies in 100 days, plus season 4 of BSG and season 2 of Sleeper Cell). Details are here.

Bottom 5:
5. Revenge of the Nerds 4
4. Walk Hard
3. Rambo
2. Imaginationland
1. Bangkok Dangerous

Move along, there’s nothing to see here:
5. Righteous Kill
4. Over Her Dead Body
3. Conan the Destroyer
2. Doom
1. Bangkok Dangerous

I did not see Battlefield Earth this summer -- I saw it long ago, and still cringe at the thought.

Interesting that no one has brought up Ishtar or Howard the Duck yet, or Blimey's all-time favorite, The Crying Game (which I heard he's moved to a back shelf, now that Forgetting Sarah Marshall is out).

Megan Fox *is* a babe, although she's a little trashy for my taste. I'm amazed that they were able to hide all of her tattoos for the movie.

As for worst movie, I agree on "The Blair Witch Project", along with any other "reality" movie that relies on the jerky handheld camera point-of-view.

Recently, I stopped watching "Day Watch" about a half-hour into it. It's the sequel to "Night Watch", which I thought was great, but "Day Watch" was just painful.

I also was disappointed with "3,000 Miles to Graceland", because the movie was nothing like what you'd have expected from the trailers. I rented it with my wife to watch with my teenage nieces, and it was wholly inappropriate. I should have been suspicious that it had an 'R' rating despite the comedic tone of the trailers.

As far as "Howard the Duck" goes, I'll forgive just about anything for a scantily-clad Lea Thompson.

Also, I love the line where Howard is watching Beverly eat eggs for breakfast--

"What's white, ovoid, and reminds me of my birthday?!?!"

Tarkan vs. the Vikings

Nice thing about teaching a course on the Vikings is that there are some really, really bad movies to show students, like The 13th Warrior and Pathfinder. But the absolute worst is a 1971 Turkish treasure called Tarkan vs. the Vikings.

I don't know where to begin with this thing. Men and women alike dress in micro-miniskirts and barely-there tops made of fun fur (or are they bath mats?) in a range of pastel and electric colors, the Vikings' shields have big puff balls and brightly colored fur edgings, there's a wolf (played by a dog) that sheds tears and climbs a vertical wall, and the Vikings' idea of pagan sacrifice is to throw people to a big foam octopus (if you look closely you can see the feet of the guys operating it). On the performance front, there are heads split open with axes, a femme fatale's hilarious dance of torture/seduction, and the kinds of gratuitous violence and nudity that made 70s exploitation pix legendary. I'm notorious for having "bad movie days" in my classes, but nothing has topped this one.

That reminds me of that ridiculous "1,000,000 Years BC" with Raquel Welch as the hot cavewoman!

Midway is another one on my puke list. The Japanese officers speak English, Charleton Heston's damaged aircraft changes from T6 to A1 to F9F jet as it crashes, one big aerial dogfight scene was cut from "The Battle of Britain," causing me to ask myself why are there Spitfires and Me-109's fighting over the pacific?
