Speaking of Beastmaster, does anyone remember the 90s TV adaptation that was a shameless clone of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys? I don't remember if that was also so bad it was good, or just bad.

Now I'm reminded that I need to continue watching Xena. Only got through a few episodes before becoming distracted.

But Tanya Roberts is in it, so it all evens out. :thumb:

A noble mission indeed. Don't forget to bring your chakram!

I remember enjoying Beastmaster but it was so long ago who knows. I don't even know if I'd enjoy Xena/Hercules anymore.

Xena is still ironically glorious. Hercules... not quite so much. No Lucy Lawless in bondage armor.

The Adventures of Bibleman.

Right, I feel like I have to warn you all.
If anyone feels like watching the Witcher, either the movie or the tv series, because it will be so bad it's good .. don't. It's just bad, so bad it causes a loss of k8 sanity points, internal bleeding, makes you sexually attracted to Susan Boyle.. And these are the mild side effects only, I won't even mention the severe ones.
Seriously.

That's my favorite show ever. It's supposed to be like, progressively campy as it goes on. I laughed, I cried, I bought matching What Would Xena Do shirts with the girl I binge watched it with.

The fun part, if you get into Xena, is to watch Hercules after. It is very obvious when Xena began because the Hercules budget evaporates. Some external views of areas are like... made of playdough. Their last season features Hercules fighting a giant pink **** CGI dragon.

Bad shows and movies are the best. That Discovery America network is a gold mine. They have this one called Alaska Monsters where they've found bigfoot almost every episode. They found it by accident once.

Troll 2 hasn't been mentioned yet? wow you guys are missing out on a truly horrible film. Its an instant Popcorn Classic

;)

You can tell this is a masterpiece cause Rob Schneider is in it.

It always seemed to me that the idea of "so bad it's good" doesn't make a lot of sense.

I haven't thought about Ernest in awhile but now that i am, it's all coming back to me! His trademark snarky laugh, His double chin old lady character, the weird close ups, the cheesy plot, He made tons of movie rehashing this formula and i saw most of them but this is the one i remember the most.
That's what is so great about them, they're beating the odds. They got everything going against them yet they pull through with a certain charm.

I remember that movie. On the local news they did this thing where they would find some school class of young kids and pan the camera while they waved. Don't know why they did this. Anyway, this happened to a class I was in once, and when the camera panned over me I just yelled, "Surf Ninjas!!!". I believe I was also wearing an improvised martial arts headband.

Leave me alone, I was like eight.


Then you're probably taking yourself too seriously.

That's so... gnarly. That movie was designed to blow the minds of kids in the 90's one of the kids even had a game gear that somehow altered reality.

Speaking of gloriously awful kids movies about ninjas...

I remember this basically being a Home Alone ripoff, but with three crackerass brothers who are being trained as ninjas for no apparent reason by their Mr. Miyagi ripoff grandfather, and the villain looked like a Jewish, Steven Seagal ripoff.

Only the nineties.

Star Wars

Stop fronting you know Colt was the coolest kid ever.

Wasn't he the middle kid? Like, the older one was the generic, serious leader, the middle one was the generic "cool one", and the youngest was the generic, annoying little ****head? I'm sure I loved Colt.

OH YEAH! Now I remember that those weren't their real names, cause the grandfather had given them ninja names or some ****. The older one was Rocky or something, because he strong like a rock... or something, the middle one was Colt, because he was free-spirited, and the younger one was Tum Tum, because he was kind of fat.

Oh, and I almost forgot that Surf Ninjas had Sinbad, back when people still thought he was relevant.

That the idea of "so bad it's good" doesn't make sense is what's so great about them? ;-)

They're great because they're ironically hilarious and/or charming despite/because of their idiosyncratic faults.

While simultaneously inflating the egos of viewers with directorial aspirations of their own.

I think that's just you.

Admittedly, I aspire to one day make a film as spectacular as Space Mutiny.

Or Encino Man?

"Ironically hilarious" might make some sense, but (a) that would tend to just be a statement about mistaken preconceptions, and (b) it wouldn't map to "so bad it's good" any better than "cauliflower" or any arbitrary word would, and "great fault" doesn't make any more sense than "so bad it's good."

ERROR Contradictory term does not compute.

Dude, haven't you seen Bill & Ted's awesome adventure or Short Circuit or even Inception?

Not sure why you're asking about these particular films, but yeah, I love the Bill & Ted films. Pretty sure I saw that, but in 1986 or close to it, and I don't recall anything about it. Inception just got a big "meh" from me.

There you go, wouldn't you say their films had a so bad it was good quality to them?

If anything, at least we can agree on this.

No, not at all. I'd say that "so bad it's good" doesn't make sense. ;-)

It's not that I haven't thought about this before. I'm trying to encourage other people to think about it a bit more in-depth.

Insofar as I love those films, they're good films. That's all that "good" really refers to anyway--an (aesthetic) attraction to something, pleasure in it being the way it is, etc.

Why?

I enjoy people thinking about things more analytically/critically.

If you guys haven't yet, check out the podcast "How Did This Get Made." It's absolutely hilarious and they cover a different terrible movie each episode.

Super A, bad acting

^^^^

Mentioned earlier. Saw this on the big screen when it first came out. Made it even more bad/good.

Great, now i got this stuck in my head..

There was this movie I found in a box of random VHS tapes a friend gave me way back when. Anyone heard of Hard Rock Zombies? First of all it's a mess. Half the time it's something about Nazi zombies the other half it's about something else. This is rock band is brought back from the dead to fight the evil zombies. It's total low budget camp. 10/10 would watch again.

La croce dalle sette pietre - Cross of the seven jewels

On of the worst films that I' ve ever seen. In fact is the story of a man/werewolf that goes against Camorra. I think that there is nothing more to say:rofl: There are some moments that are extraordinary like the transformation in werewolf. Ah, some scenes reminded me of the first experimental short films of Lynch.

This seriously bring s back the memories of catching this back in the day at the AMC at the Franklin Park Mall.
