I get hella stoned and watch Foodfight! at least once a year. It’s my “favorite” movie.

Everything about it, from the implied beastiality between Charlie Sheen and Hillary Duff, to the weird gay bat, to the shitweasel is a masterclass in what not to do in a movie. It transcends badness and becomes something sublime. The entire plot is about how store brands/generics are Nazis, and one of the Nazis absolutely chews the scenery in a way that makes Brian Blessed look reserved.

Take off, eh! The answer here has to be Strange Brew. Only movie I ever watched that taught me how to get free beers.

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 hour ago

The Mummy (1999) I believe was panned by critics at release, but I think it's an absolutely fantastic and humorous adventure film.

[–] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

Torsk på Tallinn.

No ones said "The Room" yet, so I'll go with that. Saw it once with Tommy and Greg in the audience, and another with just Greg (and a bunch more without either). But the ones with the cast there, you couldn't take a step in the theater without stepping on a plastic spoon.

Either that or anything by Neil Breen.

Shoot 'Em Up.

It's kinda like John Wick but also kinda like Bugs Bunny.

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

That movie absolutely rocks. That is not a bad movie...it's a classic.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 3 points 5 hours ago

Daredevil, the one with Ben Affleck

[–] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

The Riddick Chronicles. Bad acting, bad CGI, Simple stupid inconsistent plot, one dimensional characters. perfect bad sci-fi.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I liked them and have seen far worse. But to each their own.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 4 points 5 hours ago

I have a real soft spot for how absurdly bad/good those films are.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Bubba Ho-Tep. Bruce Campbell is a still-alive Elvis forgotten in a nursing home. He’s got to fight a mummy that’s sucking the souls out of old people’s assholes. Also Black JFK assists. It really shouldn’t work, but it somehow manages to.

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I actually saw Bruce do a Q&A after this movie in a theater when it came out. Crazy afternoon.

[–] kalpol@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago

The Drafthouse? RIP OG drafthouse

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 11 points 8 hours ago

Probably Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, but honorable mention to Chopping Mall and Primo Baby for being so terrible they're amusing.

[–] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Slotherhouse!

runner up would be Zombeavers

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Zombeavers is amazing. The original end credit song really pulls it together haha.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Sucker Punch

The internet loves to shit on it. I've always enjoyed it. It's a visual/audio treat.

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

See I never got that either. There is some kind of story about escapism and dealing with trauma in there, but it's definitely second fiddle to the fact that you get to see badass ladies with samurai swords running a bunny mech through ww1 trenches and fighting giant samurai with a gatling gun. Sure it's dumb, but so is Fast and Furious

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

It's a genius retelling of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It's also schlocky, pointless, fanservice-y action. It's dumb and I kind of love it.

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 23 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Velocipastor is an amazing bad movie that intended to be bad. There's even a scene where a car explodes and it's just some text that says "VFX of car exploding"

It's about a pastor that can turn into a velociraptor... When there's gore it's like obviously fake, like a head rolls off and it's clear as day that it's a mannequin head. It's so bad it's amazing.

Oh yeah, and there are ninjas.

[–] EditsHisComments@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

And the fact every flashback of the pastor was in a church of a different denomination lol

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zip 14 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

Kung pow enter the fist. Steve oedekerk, not Bob, intentionally made a bad movie by over dubbing rewriting bad 70s martial arts films. It's absurd and stupid. I love it.

They said bad movie. This is a masterpiece.

Equilibrium (2002) wasn’t well received when it came out. I think it’s still “bad” on RT but imdb has it at 7.3 now. I don’t care if gun-kata is silly and dumb, it looks cool as fuck.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 2 points 5 hours ago

"Sense offender!"

[–] one_old_coder@piefed.social 5 points 9 hours ago

I loved that movie, thanks for reminding me about it.

Either Master of Disguise (1/100 on RT) or Joe Dirt (9/100 on RT)

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 points 5 hours ago

But first, let's shoot fireballs at it.

By all accounts The Boondock Saints is a "bad" movie but we all watched it when we were 12 and thought it was fucking awesome and still do.

[–] MrSelfDestruct25@fedinsfw.app 3 points 7 hours ago

Glad others think so. I never cared for it. All my friends loved it.

That Speed Racer movie that the Wachowskis made. I’m not gonna pretend it’s underrated, and I’m not gonna try to convince you to like it. They made it for me and me alone.

I thought you meant the H-Street skateboard video with the same name. That video is one of skateboarding's most influential videos ever.

The Toxic Avenger

Been over 30 years since I've seen it and it still stands as my most watched bad movie.

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

It's a tie between: The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension

See John Lithgow chew the scenery as the villain, plus Jamaicans are the good guy aliens. Classic bad movie, but fun to watch.

and

Remo Williams

It's terrible, it's racist and sexist in a 1980s way. But it has Kate Mulgrew and she's awesome in it.

[–] lemmyng@piefed.ca 11 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Six String Samurai.
