This is not a thread for epic movies or terrible movies. This is for those awful movies that are soooo bad that they're actually awesome!

Two of my top guilty pleasure movies...

Super Mario Bros

and
Street Fighter


I thought Street Fighter was cast perfectly, everyone looked like their characters, but golly what an awfully good movie... My favorite part has always been when Zangief realizes they're the bad guys. /chortle

I think Balrog could have been more buff (like in the game) but everyone else looks great!

Edit: Mine is double dragon. It was cheeeeeeesy, but good and I love TNMT live action stuff.

The Warriors. A street gang dressed like mimes, one on roller skates with feathered hair and overalls and let's not forget the Orphans cause they have a heavy rep. And to add insult to injury when you finally get to the mystery that surrounds the movie, why did the leader of the Rogues shoot Cyrus, he responds "no reason, I just like doing stuff like that." Despite its flaws I love that movie.
Ravenpoe-Mortal Kombat is another guilty pleasure. I remember when the trailer came out with the theme song in it. MORTAL KOMBAT!

And to go into the category of movies I hate I have to watch just to feel the hatred grow is Dana Carvey's Master of Disguise. Worst movie ever but I watch it in a false air of superiority for not being associated with the movie whatsoever.

I would probably write a wall of text that would weigh down the forum and cause it to crash if I fully listed all of them so I'll try and condense it:

Anything Uwe Boll. With the exception of Tunnel Rats and Seed. Those were just bad in the bad way.
Tomb Raider 1 and 2.
Dungeons and Dragons, Even though the Wayan brother ALMOST ruined it for me.
Anything Nic Cage, with alot of love for Vampire's Kiss, Bad Lieutenant and Bangkok Dangerous. This is not to include Wicker Man remake.
Escape from New York/L.A The birth of Plisken!
The entire Tremors series and the short lived TV show. Fantastic.
Starship Troopers. Only the first one. Even I have my limits.
Pirhana 3D. Such a nice little horror movie, purposely made to show how idiotic the jump to 3D was going to be.

Bad movies even I hate?

Street Fighter. Loved Van Damme and Raul Julia. Hated the entire rest of it.
Dragonball: Evolution. Just no.
Highlander 2. Not even the recut.
Catwoman Halle Berry's tits wouldn't have even saved this movie.

If we're going by strict "so bad they're good" rules, then (after backing up Steve's vote for the Warriors), my vote goes to Star Trek V. When I first saw it, I hated it, but now I think it's one of the most hilariously awful things I've ever watched.

Granted, I may have been influenced by outside sources.

Also, I'm not sure about this one, but I have a sneaking suspicion that if I watched PCU again that I'd realize it's a bad movie, and love it anyway.

I don't understand. Mars Attacks is clearly in the "So good it's spectacular" category.

And even if it wasn't good, the fact that it's all intentional disqualifies it from this thread.

Kung Pow. It's really terrible, but I never get tired of watching it.

See above.

How could you not like Zangief (the actor looked perfect too) or DJ?And Boson Dollars where win (might as well have cut out Ryu and Ken out of the film entirely though).

Now Legend of Chun Li, that was unwatchable.

You mean the movie where it's basically "Crap, all our guys got killed! What do we do? Send more guys! Well, they're dead! Now what? Send more!"

I likes Starship Troopers but there's one part that REALLY bugs me.



When someone gets mutilated and tells you "You know what to do!"... YOU DO NOT SHOOT THEM IN THE FUCKING CHEST.

I'm honestly unsure if this movie belongs in this thread or not. It's fun and awesome -- just not in the way the original producers intended.

Going by the DVD commentary, Paul Verhoeven was a little pissed that somehow people (in general) missed that the Starship Troopers film was supposed to be a grotesque satire on fascism in general, and mid-20th century propaganda films, and took it at face value.

There's a bit towards the end where he basically starts going, "he mind-raped it while wearing a Nazi uniform...WHY DO PEOPLE NOT GET THIS?!!"

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is a BRILLIANT movie. No need to feel guilty pleasuring yourself to it.

Most certainly belongs in this thread. The movie starred a football player and so they had to have a sequence where he tackles a bunch of guys while holding a football shaped object.

Plus it had Brian Blessed in it, classic.
