Movies that are so bad, they're funny

[Lace Neil Singer]

There's loads of movies I've seen that fit this description; the best bad/funny movie I've ever seen tho is "Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park". It's just so hilarious. XD Rinkworks has an absolutely hysterical review of it, which says everything I think about this movie: http://www.rinkworks.com/badmovie/m/kiss.meets.the.phantom.of.the.park.1978.shtml

Honourable mentions also go to "Streetfighter", "Phantasm" and the animated "Lord Of The Rings".

The one that came to mind first is The Room. It's written, directed, and starred in by the same guy. He doesn't really have the talent for any of those roles. The whole movie was horribly cheesy with sex scenes that lasted way too long, and there was tons of reused footage. But oh my DOG it was hilariously awesome! I would love to add it to my DVD collection if I could find a copy for less than $5 xD

I loved the sex scenes. They were dressed, then undressed, then while having the sex they put the clothes back on, then they took them off again. Then hair down, then up again, oh it's down, wait back on.



Bad....bad movie.

Shoot 'Em Up :lol:

Shoot 'Em Up :lol:

I have to agree with this. The movie is just over-the-top ridiculous, but I can't help watch it over and over again. The look on Paul Giamatti's character's face when he finds out it was a doll and not the baby was just classic.

[Gravekeeper]

The Arrival. For having a scene in which Charlie Sheen uses an alien machine to turn himself into a Mexican to hide from aliens.

Well, and Clive Owen could read from the dictionary and it would be fascinating. The fact that you get to see his naked ass is just a bonus.

When I saw this in the theater with friends we were cracking up at it. It's watchable but hilariously bad. I'm not sure how to explain it other than to say that you will enjoy it but comment on how horrible it was afterward.

[LadyBarbossa]

I laughed a lot during Eragon. Egads, but that was unintentionally funny; wouldn't watch it again though. And I get flack for this, but Ralph Bakshi's animated Lord of the Rings makes me laugh till I cry and my stomach hurts. Granted, some parts of it were really well done, but mostly it just cracks me up.

You ah tearing me apaht, Lisa!

Have you seen the techno version remixed on YouTube? I'm sad to say I watched through the whole thing twice... once when I first saw it linked, and then again when I showed it to my husband :p

[Rageaholic]

A lot of movies reviewed on TGWTG apply. As mentioned, the room. Also,

-Battlefield Earth.
-Leprachaun.
-Dungeons and Dragons movie.
-Rockadoodle (animated).

Granted, I'm only going by Nostalgia Critic reviews, but these stick out.

The only movie I saw that I would say is so bad it was funny was Firewall with Harrison Ford. When you have an action thriller with villains that are even stupider than the crooks in Home Alone, you're in for a treat. Not to mention the many absurd situations, including a scene where cars are blowing up and characters are just standing around as if nothing is happening. The movie was only entertaining for how stupid it was.

[Andara Bledin]

I laughed a lot during Eragon. Egads, but that was unintentionally funny; wouldn't watch it again though.
I saw Eragon in the theater, because of family.

First off, the entire beginning of the movie is a fantasy rip-off of Star Wars, which wasn't exactly the most original plot to begin with. But with the author having stolen whole passages nearly verbatim from Tolkien, it's to be expected.

My favorite part of the whole movie, however, is when the actor refers to the dragon as "him" and rather than doing another take for the kid to get it right, they just overdub it. I get the impression they missed it when they were shooting. Talk about sloppy. 9.9

Same, oh so much. XD Btw, for a great, hilarious review of said hilariabad movie, read this: http://flyingmoose.org/tolksarc/bakshi/bakshi.htm

Adding this; one thing that stopped Streetfighter from being just a pile of crap movie was Raul Julia as M Bison. XD Especially this key scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVzAMmpMra8

Julia did the movie for one reason only; his family. He knew he was dying, so he chose what was likely to be his final film to be something his children and/or grandchildren would enjoy watching him in.

^-.-^

[Lace Neil Singer]

Yeah, I heard that; and he saved the movie from being crap. ^^

Transcribed for anyone who couldn't watch the video; Best. Scene. Ever.

Chun Li: [to Bison] It was twenty years ago. You hadn't promoted yourself to general yet. You were just a petty drug lord. Huh! You and your gang of murderers gathered your small ounce of courage to raid across the border for food... weapons...
[indicates her binds]
Chun Li: ... hmph. Slave labor. My father was the village magistrate. A simple man with a simple code: justice. He gathered the few people that he could to stand against you.
[laughs]
Chun Li: You and your bullies were driven back by farmers with pitchforks! My father saved his village at the cost of his own life. You had him shot as you ran away! A hero... at a thousand paces.
Bison: I'm sorry. I don't remember any of it.
Chun Li: You don't remember?!
Bison: For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

[Greenday]

Streetfighter was hilarious. Loved it.

Blair Witch Project is another one that immediately comes to mind.

[Mytical]

Sorry Greenday, I have to disagree. Blair witch was not so bad it was funny imo. It was just bad. I even forget how long it was, but oh how I wished I had that time back. It got worse though..they made a sequel.

Lets see Ghoulies. Warlock (note at one time I really liked Warlock). Three Ninjas. Hmm another possible long list. I think I have watched entirely too many movies.

[muses_nightmare]

Anaconda = OMG let's run from the rubber snake! :p

It's the only one I can think of at the moment. Well Zombie Strippers, but that was kind of supposed to be funny anyway.

[Gravekeeper]

Warlock was awesomebad. Loved that movie as a kid ;p Sequels were atrocious though. It completely cemented the actor with the role for me though. I can't see Julian Sands in anything else without wondered why the other characters don't realize he's clearly evil. -.-

[telecom_goddess]

ok I'm going to add Exorcist II The Heretic to this pile. While the Exorcist, the first film, is a classic no one can touch, the sequel was RIDICULOUS. 3 and 4 are ok...not that great or bad. But 2 was DUMB.

If I can throw a book sequel in here...Son of Rosemary, the book sequel to Rosemary's Baby. That book's ending pissed me off so bad I wanted to throw it out the window.

[Fire_on_High]

My favorite part of the whole movie, however, is when the actor refers to the dragon as "him" and rather than doing another take for the kid to get it right, they just overdub it. I get the impression they missed it when they were shooting. Talk about sloppy.

That makes me wonder if the cast were closet Pern fans, and it was so much second nature to think of a blue as "he" that it got by unnoticed.

[Andara Bledin]

I don't. Considering that much of the acting is done with a blue screen in place of the dragon, I don't know how it would even really come up to affect them. The whole movie was put together almost as poorly as the book. Though the movie had better editing.

^-.-^

[Mytical]

Gravekeeper *nods* He was pretty much the reason it was re-watchable. The 20 years in a day thing, the driving nails in feet and head ... SOOOO so bad..it was funny.

[Ginger Tea]

It got worse though..they made a sequel.

If you take out all the Blair Witch references and tweak the story due to the ommissions (eg keep the house ruins but its just a cabin in the forest), then Book of Shadows could have been a good movie, not a great movie mind, but better than what it was, hell it could be better than both combined (just by not having the name).

I would call the re-edit "freaky shit happened in the woods"

Speaking of Re-edits, "Peter Benchleys 'Shark' " iir that is the whole title, a 2 part tv movie about genitically modifying a shark, the ending of the first part was brilliant (well not the shark breaths air and developes limbs) but the screen faded to black with it banging on the hatch way.
Then the 2nd part ruined it with the back story where it was and other stuff and just being shite.
A recut of the 2nd part into the first and ditch some other things and end the movie with nothing resolved would be fantastic.

[Rageaholic]

Here's another one: Shark Attack 3. Just seeing clips from youtube I can tell this is an unintentionally hillarious movie. It has the imfamous "Worst pick up line" ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1XOfHax6Q8

There's also hard streets. Though I don't even know if it's a movie or a parody of a bad movie. I'm leaning toward the latter, but it's still hillariously bad.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNjbx_-BtP8

[ExRetailDrone]

I've never seen the movie, but just by hearing about it and seeing an infamous clip, I can tell that Troll 2 is so bad it's hilarious. Bad acting + horrible storyline = comedic gold for this one. This pretty much sums it up from what I've been told (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyophYBP_w4) ;)

[firecat88]

Jeepers Creepers. I watched it on recommendation by a friend back when it first came out on DVD. The whole entire time, my parents and I couldn't figure out if it was meant to be a hilarious parody of horror movies, or if it was actually meant to be scary.

[Rageaholic]

How all of the asylum movies. For those not familuar, they make mockbusters of already popular movies. The big two are Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus and Mega Pirahna.

Here's a few scenes from both movies to show how unintentionally funny these movies really are.

Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I16_8l0yS-g&feature=related)

Mega Pirahna (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6bGSlmiR88)

I'm am seriously considering renting these movies just for how stupid they are.

[blas87]

firecat, there is a sequel to Jeepers Creepers.

I think they both suck.

[Gravekeeper]

Oh man, I can't believe I forgot.

Every movie made by Full Moon Entertainment.

Puppet Master, Demonic Toys, Subspecies, Trancers, Robot Wars, etc. <3

[Ginger Tea]

I have but have yet to watch, their double bill paranormal activity mockbusters
The original dissapointed on many levels and I firmly belive that I paid money to watch the doritoes rockband 7minute advert and got a shitty movie free for my troubles.

Sherlock Holms vs Iron Man a Trex (or some form of biped dinosuar)* a dragon and a cameo by a giant octopus hmm Moriartie just doesn't seem as threatening

*Not as good as finding out the lockness monster is Jack the Ripper

edit:
I remember watching alot of transers movies as a kid (or teenager) the not quite Rutger Hauer lead, oh speaking of old Rutger, some film he did set in a flooded future london where he solved some witchcraft puzzle eating alot of those marshmallow jam centred coated in chocolate things that he stuck to his fridge. It's all I remember of the movie but damn I enjoyed every minute of it at the time.

The movie is Split Second (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105459/), and for a decidedly B movie, it's actually pretty good. As a bonus, there's a Kim Cattral shower scene. The review on the main page for the movie is a really good assessment.

Then there's Flesh+Blood (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089153/plotsummary). I'm not a big fan of this movie, though I'm sure there are others who enjoy it. Yet again, the review on the front page pretty much nails it.

I don't think either of them is actually that bad, but I can certainly see how they wouldn't appeal to everybody.

^-.-^

[Rageaholic]

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned, Birdemic. I saw Obscurus Lupa's review (TGWTG) and was nearly on the floor laughing.

Here's the a link to the most unintentionally funny movie clip you'll ever see. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrxZblVUkMU)

[Cheshire]

Red Riding Hood.

Just horrid.

[Sarah Valentine]

To me I consider Demolition Man a movie that is so bad it's funny, Wesley Snipes was to funny to be taken seriously as a bad guy. The blond hair, the orange shirt and overalls, he looked like a black Dennis the menace.

[Andara Bledin]

Demolition Man is supposed to be just a bit camp, which really makes it an entirely enjoyable flick. It doesn't hurt that everybody in it does a good job, too. :)

^-.-^

[Parrothead]

Night of the Lepus


"It's OK, the rabbit is gone" :roll:

just remember that the movie scriptwriter (I assume it was tongue in cheek) predicted Arnold becoming a politician (in the movie Pres of the US after the constitution was amended to allow non US Citizens to rise to that office)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_Man_(film)

A passing reference is made to the political era, including the U.S. Presidency of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Huxley explains to Spartan that the Constitution had been amended to allow Schwarzenegger to be elected despite his foreign birth. In the 1990s, Schwarzenegger had been mentioned as a potential candidate for political office, although at the time the movie he had an honorary posting as chairman of the President's Council on Fitness and Sports, and he did run successfully for Governor of California ten years later. Schwarzenegger and Stallone often make tongue-in-cheek references to one another in their films, notably in Last Action Hero which was released the same year as Demolition Man.



fairly decent blow-um up shot-um up movie

Shadowrun predicted Arnie making a run for Prez 21 years ago. :p

Laugh-In predicted Reagan's presidency in the late 60's, as well as the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Kung Pow: Enter the fist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Pow!_Enter_the_Fist)

I'm sorry but between the Gopher Chucks, the cow and the "One Boob Chick" we were damn near peeing ourselves laughing.

A close second is Kung Fu Hustle. Especially the Landlady of Pig Sty Alley.

[Andara Bledin]

Kung Pow is an Oedekerk offering, and is every bit exactly what it's supposed to be. :D
