Thank God this is anonymous, huh? Well, here goes nothin'...


1. The Last Starfighter (Hey, those were cutting-edge computer effects... at the time)

2. Kickboxer (got me kicking for the first time)

3. Beastmaster (Conan's skinny little brother... with ferrets)

4. The Mummy and the Mummy Returns (not-so-serious Indiana Jones RIPOFF, but I love them, Pigmies and all)

5. Johnny Dangerously ("You do realize your last name is an adverb.")

Let's see now...bad movies I love regardless...hmm:

1) Robot Jox --> you watch this and you know they spent 90% of the budget of the stop-motion effects. The other 9% and 1% is the catering costs and acting paycheques respectively;D

2) White Force --> dirty cheap action thriller from the 80s with the same guy who played Flash Gordon in the movie of the same period. Film's saved by the hero's clearly insane techhead buddy;D

3) The Last Chase --> Lee Majors is a former race car driver who, in an act of rebellion in a future world where only public transit is available, mounts up once again in his long-stored vehicle and sets off cross-country. Burgess Meredith is a drunken sot of an ex-Air Force pilot given his F-86 Sabre! back to stop Majors from reawakening the populace.

Now if that don't get your blood stirring, I don't know what will

4) Resident Evil: Apocalypse --> they blew up Toronto City Hall with a friggin' tactical nuke!! You know how many Torontonians want that to happen?!?



5) Bulletproof Monk --> It's Stiffler...doing kung fu...with Chow-Yun Fat! What else do you need to be entertained? Plot? Acting skill? Pshaw...

This sounds like a challenge so I've got one for you. Joysticks...anyone else know this one? If so I'm impressed. Released at the height of the 80's video arcade craze it chronicles the goings on at, you guessed it, a local video arcade. This one's got it all: bad acting, obvious plot, juvenille humor, and gratuitious nudity. No matter how bad this one is the thought of it still brings a smile to my face. Even if I were to watch it today I would still be laughing my ass off. The highlight of the film is game savant Jonathan Andrew McDorfus; a belching, farting, overweight slob who saves the day with his considerable gaming ability. Whoops, guess I should have used the spoiler tag...my bad.

Never seen Joysticks, but that's exactly what I'm talking about. Well done Singate.

This trailer for it looks like a trip, but I don't have sound at work so I can't hear anything:

ok, I refuse to admit these movies are bad, otherwise why would I like them? (as a browncoat, its obvious I have impeccable taste). I will admit however that they may have been misunderstood :)

2 that havent been mentioned yet, that I can watch over and over again -
Demolition Man (should have been billed as a comedy, not an action) and Undercover Blues ( I love movies that dont take themselves seriously).

On top of those Id have to add my vote to Armageddon, Ferris Buellers Day off (and I havent watche dit for well over a decade, but used to love Last starfighter). Ive only seen it once, but I htought Tank Girl was hilarious. And 2 of my favourite movies of all time are the Mummy movies. Brendan Fraser is a funny guy...
