thats right, I am starting a list of bad movies this list will contain only the worst movies ever created and the movies in this list will be mocked by all.
For starters my current number on worst film of all time is...
1. The Wickerman- 2006: special edition dvd with the (pathetic )"shocking" alternate ending.
Reason: with an aditional half hour of more unrealistic acting. watch Nicholas cage make an ass out of himself! Watch Nicholas cage digging up a grave in a graveyard within unrealistic colonial (celtic?) ruins. Watch Nicholas Cage running toward a crypt with his ghost rider like powers immidately after prying the lid off of a nailed coffin with his bare hands. watch Nicholas cage, without skipping a breath, climbing down a fortified immitation colonial starcase (which alone should have winded him) ,and stare in amazement as he mystically fights off the effects of hypothermia, allergies and more.
2.Cat in the Hat
Reason: number two on my list of the dammed is "The Cat in the Hat" staring Michael Myers. this one should be self explainitory, and to quote Mortitia Adams in "family values" as she skimmed over the book of the film's namesake "Oh god. He lives"
3.D.E.B.S.
Reason: the hollywood makover of this once independent classic just Sucked, it sucked out loud. with a cast of actors who all act and behave like twelve year olds, and nitwits the only charm it has is as rip off of a beter independent film of the same name. this movie is so tasteless it makes "Agent Cody Banks" look like James Bond in comparison.
4. Duplicate
Reason: thankfully as a low budget independent film only a handfull of Americans on the west coast have actually seen this film. The movie is truely horrible and has no more than five actors which include the director the producer and his sister and their girlfriends. This would be number one on the list if it were less obscure.
5. A.I. :Artificial Intelegence
Reason: while the rest of America was being brainwashed into believing this was a masterpeice. The few of us who actually saw the film were ashamed that this peice of trash was getting rave reviews by critics who used the same trick with "The Passion of the Christ" simply as a tool to get butts in the theater seats.
This is my list of bad movies feel free to add to it, so that others will be spared the torture of seing these films, or recieving them as gifts.
*steals idea (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php?topic=2122.0)*
Actually, I already had this idea rolling around in my head, but it took this to get it out.
if you'll notice I posted mine first butt head.
That's why he said "*steals idea*" and "...it took this to get it out." 'This' being the thread.
*Cough* yeah, I vote both the Spider-man movies...... they were trash. Also the Batman movie that had George Clooney and bat nipples O.o
Dont forget the batmooning
I couldn't think of any films which were actually crap until I remembered some of the abysmal book->film conversions.
Here are some that spring to mind:
- Logan's Run - a very silly conversion of a fairly decent book
- Soylent Green ("Make Room, Make Room" by Harry Harrison) - I think this is the source of the "soylent green is people" bull. It is actually a mix of soya and lentils, hence the name. If you want an actual future society based on cannibalism, check out "Half Past Human" by T J Bass.
- The Two Towers - pretty, but badly damaged during transit.
...of course there are a number of films which I hate, but that's because I dislike the subject matter, not because they're bad in any technical sense.
How about some of those ones that were based on old video games?
Like Mario Bros., and the Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat (whichever it was - the one with Kylie Minogue in it) one.
I'm tempted to chip in "Rat Pfink A Boo-Boo", but that's so amazingly abysmal it's funny, sortof like the classic "Z-grade" movies.
Just as an example, it was supposed to be named "Rat Pfink and Boo-Boo", but a clerk mistyped it, and they didn't have the $25 to re-register the name...
For all that, I found it hysterical to watch... in a totally "hey, that terrier is running faster than our superheroes can drive their motorbike" way...
"UltraViolet" is still the only movie I've walked out of.

I hear that's not the real story... though the story you told should be $50 too, right? I only just now looked it up.
I liked AI, thank you. Actually bought the movie. >(
(bans j00)
Cold Creek Manor was a bad movie. Just plain boring. I stopped halfway for some reason, and didn't feel the urge to start it again. This coming from the person that felt bad turning of American Pie: Band Camp, not because it was at all good (it wasn't... at all), but simply I had to know what happened (even though the movie was formulaic and I could guess).
Quote from: BillBuckner on February 02, 2007, 06:30:03 AM"UltraViolet" is still the only movie I've walked out of.
Movies I've walked out of:
Jason X (not really sure why I walked *into* that one)
A Perfect Murder (or did I just want to walk out of that one)
Not exactly a list of abysmal movies there. Just mostly bad.
For me, it has to be Master of Disguise and Elektra. Absolutely HORRIBLE movies, especially Master of Disguise. I have never seen another movie which I have hated more.
Oh, and Batman and Robin. I haven't seen it, but I've read the Agony Booth version--and that's MORE than enough.
~Keaton the Black Jackal
I actually liked Ultraviolet, even though mostly for the way the action scenes were done. The plot was fairly non-existent. ;)
Bad movies... *ponders* oh yeah! The Rules of Attraction with "that guy from Dawson's Creek" (James Van Der Beek).
Saw it in a Sneak Preview with a few friends, and all of us went "What in the name of fuck?". Tons of people walked out of it, the rest (including our group, because some of us were fascinated by the sheer degree of badness) left at the end of the movie with typical "I wasted 90 minutes of my life" expressions.
Manos, Hands of Fate! (Seriously...Whats up with that?)
Battlefield Earth (John Travolta...with DREDS!...Oh yeah blinding humanity about Scientology)
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (Lucy Liu and Antonio Banderas..Beating the snot out of eatch
other...Just like in their other films!)
Speed 2: Cruise Control (Heh...Its bad enough a bomb is on a boat so big...It breaks through a small city...and things...ANd i dought anyone read the script for it too)
From Justin to Kelly (Umm...I just dont like poor scripited movies with idols I dont care about anymore)
Catwoman (Or I prefer as...CINO...Catwoman In Name Only it should of been....Oh sure the action was niceish...But...No...I am not gonna go there....Sequal...Mostly maybe... >_>;; )
SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (The first one is bad...The sequal is just as stupid or worse...A bullet to the directors brain thinking want see babies superpowers and diapers that are duo purpose)
Whew..Im done...For now...
Starship Troopers: "Hey, we have a lousy idea for a movie! It's so bad no one will watch it! Let's buy the right to some famous guy's novel, use his name and character names for our trash, and we'll make a mint!"
The worst part? Starship Troopers 2.
My movie shitlist is a little too large to post here...
Just name any horror movie or one of those films where everyone is against the same woman who ends up winning out despite spending most of the movie crying on the floor.
Now add the Matrix, X-men, and Highlander series and a few anime movies and your almost there.
Bad movies, movies I've regretted ever seeing?
oddly there isn't that many because to me there is a viceral pleasure to be had in a bad movie.
but a few I wish I'd never seen
psychic wars, an old and realy bad choppy anime it was crap animation and a terrible story, not even the fights were interesting.
I agree with the sentiment about AI and battle feild earth, though I did like the book Battlefeild Earth
Tail Strike giant scorpions loose on a plane (trying to cash in on the snakes on a plane thing)
I've got a few more lemme see if I can remember them
Oooo!
Do we get to list movies that utterly butchered a book concept?
In that case, I'd list Damnation Alley, about on par with Starship Troopers, but started from a lesser height...
Brokeback Mountain.
Never before have a felt so compelled to walk out of a movie. Or scream at the ending. =/
All the horror movies they've been 'borrowing' from Japan and re-making have sucked pretty hardcore, too. Except for The Ring, which is sitll one of my favorite horror movies.
Ring 2, both of the Grudges, Dark Water and Pulse. Seriously. Most of those sucked in Japan, why try to re-make it?
I'd say all the movies on the Sci-Fi channel, but now I think about it, they are too amazing for me to never see again.
Hmm... I think the movie that is most deserving of my wrath has to be the watered-down sithspit hackjob known as dune. I'm not talking about the six hour miniseries. no, no, I'm talking about the two-ish hour film. Not only was it poorly done. they changed key plot elements, simplified others, and basically watered down a classic story so that the ignorant masses might have some small chance of enjoying it.
Well, that's what I saw, anyways.

Hmmm. While it bore little resemblance to the book, it was actually a really trippy film otherwise.
Of course, that trippiness doesn't even compare to the original concept for the film. HR Giger was going to design the Harkonnens, Pink Floyd was going to do the music, Salvador Dali was going to play the emperor, and Mobius was involved somehow, too.
In addition, had this version been done, David Lynch would have probably done Return of the Jedi. Imagine the David Lynch version of Jedi...
ADMIRAL ACKBAR
OK, men. We'll be preparing our attack from Endor's Forest Moon.
LUKE (V.O.)
...Endor's forest moon...
Plus the Ewoks in tight leather suits...
Pinata: Survivor Island. It has a few points that are so bad they boomerang back into being hilarious, but they're few and far between.
My Boss's Daughter. Ever since this film I've taken care to avoid all movies ever made by Mr. "Punk'd." Nearly every single problem that arises in the movie is resolved within the last 15 minutes of the film, and some fo the situations are just too stupid to believe. Now, I'm sure the owl on drugs looked good on paper, but.... no. Just no.
Book totally butchered: Blood and Chocolate. They turned it into a lame grown-up love triangle! In London, no less! I read the book, and it was great the way it was. Now it's a near clone of the director's only good movie. For shame. :|

I agree. The original movie was pretty decent.
Then they made the sequel, which was apparently written by a committee, who had apparently been
told about the movie, rather than actually
seeing any of it.
Plus there must have been some studio execs putting their oar in:
Execs: "Hey, put some aliens in. Aliens are popular. Oh, and Sean Connery was in the first one? Put him in, too."
Writers: "Uh, his character died in the first one."
Execs: "Put him in anyway."
ZARDOZ.
NOTHING stinks as much as that drug fueled turd.

Well, not every movie has to be M. It was a fun film, and yes, a large part of it had to do with getting swordsmen in New York.
I also thought that the police procedural concept was pretty interesting. What do you do when you have a (reasonably peaceful) guy who can't die whose defining characteristics show up hundreds of years in the past?

Okay, remove a person's head with a pistol while it's constantly regenerating and then you can whine. Until then, blades are the way to go.
There are other methods of relieving the body of it's head and, infact, there was an episode in the T.V. show, in which a train did the job I believe.
When they introduced Aliens...Yeah, then it sucked mightily.

M? as in MA? You think my complaint is about the lack of pointless gore? What does anybody honestly care about what generic idiot cops do?
The fact that the story takes place in different times is the setting, not the story.

Quote from: Warlike on February 03, 2007, 03:26:50 AMYou think my complaint is about the lack of pointless gore? What does anybody honestly care about what generic idiot cops do?
Well, I do, because the characters were portrayed in an interesting and engaging light.
If I remember right, there was a movie made back in 2004 actually called 'The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made'.
But anyway, here's one I remember: The Curse of the Cat People.
It was made back in the 40s I think. The original 'Cat People' wasn't too bad for an old horror movie. It would have creeped people out back then, and there were a couple good psychological points in it.
BUT! The sequel was completely stupid. I remember watching it and thinking it could almost pass for a kid's movie. It has some psychological stuff in it, but still- the only horror you get out of it is from having to watch it.
Here's one for ya; Aeonflux. This one's iffy because, while as a movie it's not so bad in and of itself, it will make you want to watch the animated series. This is wotcha call a bad idea. It was as though they tried to take the twilight zone, then add recurring characters, MTV flair (meaning random sex and dull endings), and kill the main character in every episode past the third or fourth.
Quote from: Boogeyman on February 03, 2007, 08:23:02 PMit will make you want to watch the animated series. This is wotcha call a bad idea.
:plzdie
Æon Flux...bad? You cannot be serious. The film was the bad idea.
Listen carefully, because the next sentence causes me great pain, and I hope to never say it again. They should have cast Angelina Jolie in that role. She's a tall, angular, mannish woman with enormous lips and the right haircut to match.
Also, Peter Chung should have been involved in the film. He was not. So instead of a work of art as a commentary on th violence and tropes of action films, we got a generic ``Girls kick ass, too!'' film. Plus, they changed Trevor Goodchild from the conflicted character with the White Man's Burden into a good guy who's been dragged along by the actions of the monster that he created.
There is one movie that sucks the ass off everything else so hard that it takes the cellulites, the muscles and the very dust off the bonestructure with it, and that is Deathrace 2000. All categories. And it's got Sylvester Stallone in it.
Now, please don't bring up those ten minutes of memory again... please.

1) I said BLADE, not SWORD. Learn to read genius.
2) All you need to do to kill a highlander in remove the head. All that "god mod" was simply they couldn't age(the most common killer of men by the way). Hell, you get that with standard undead and they can't feel pain! So why don't you scream about zombie movies being God-moders? I demand for you to think!
The next time you claim "LOZOrz theRZ gDOzors mOdzers" accutally watch the damn stuff. You'll see they don't "god mod."
edit: Oh, and zombie movies also have far more of the "god modzors" runing around an "unstoppable hoard" I believe. In Highlander, there are only a select few.

To the DICTIONARY:
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/blade
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/sword
There synonyms unless you were refering a blade that wasn't a weapon. I somehow doubt this conversation was about a leaf or perhaps a Marvel Comics charactor.
As for the thing that I'm not allowed to call godmoding; if Highlanders can only die on HIGHLY SPECIFIC TERMS, that's just cheap. The eternal life is unrelated to that point because living is the opposite of dying.
I'll also note that your zombie example is void due the numerous differences between a hoard of the undead and a lone immortal with a
sword blade.

They aren't synonyms you idiot, blade refers to any cutting implement and there are more than swords. An axe has a blade too. As does a halberd or a guillotine. And you're saying I should classify such things as swords? What about your razor? It has a blade, does that mean you should start saying "I shaved with a sword!" ?
Also, the only difference between the two is that the highlander has the ability to think(AKA they live), whereas zombies only think about killing everything else(AKA no room for in depth plot). Note: Zombies only die due to head shot, removal, or destruction. Highlanders die due to head removal or enough bodily damage to be declared as such. Only a slight difference and not really enough warrant a "god moders" screach. Otherwise you might as well scream that about any movie that tried to come up with anything unique.
Besides, I thought Highlander was better than zombies cause highlanders had to deal with loved ones crumbling away whereas zombies don't really care about anything.

Zombies dying from "destruction" is extremely wide open as to the method. Dying exclusively from decapitation is not. That is a major difference.

What the flying fuck? How do you come up with that conclusion? I simply don't like one movie with a lame ass story about cheap immortal swordsmen and now I hate every film that's "unique." Highlander is about as unique as the skids I leave on toilet paper; sometimes smelling different, but still pretty much the old crap.
So here's a question: Does Evil Dead count as so bad that it's good, or is it just good? Because it was meant to be that bad, and it comes out as extremely entertaining.

In order for it to be a synonym it has to have a meaning that is the EXACT same as the other words. Swords are a sub-set of blades. All swords are bladed weapons, but not all blades are swords.

You do realise I was talking about destruction of the head right? You know, that thing on your neck that you apparently refuse to use. And I'm pretty sure that if it kills a zombie, it kills a highlander.

Name for me another series done in live action when there is a group immortal swordsmen who must kill each other 'till there is only one and is set in New York that came out before Highlander set the standard.

This topic is seriously boring now. Highlander wasn't that great a flick to begin with. We don't need two pages of ranting back and forth about it.
Shut up already and take it to PMs if you have to. One more comment about the original Highlander movie (or the conversation that occured after it was mentioned), and I'll close this thread.

This topic is seriously boring now. Highlander wasn't that great a flick to begin with. We don't need two pages of ranting back and forth about it.
Shut up already and take it to PMs if you have to. One more comment about the original Highlander movie (or the conversation that occured after it was mentioned), and I'll close this thread.
Sorry about that. I just don't like it when someone feels the need to attack me like that.
On to the regular subject. Why the hell is it then whenever to giant forces come together and have a Versus movie, it usually ends up sucking ass?
Aliens vs Predator, type thing? (honorable mention to alienlovespreadator, of course.)
Or are you referring to Godzilla vs Mothra type movies?
Jason vs Freddy.
Any horror movie created for the "Boo!" factor. Just random jumping outs as opposed to actual mind f*%@ing.
Any movie based on one or more species, but then ending up focusing on some loser group of humans.
Aliens Vs. Predator did it.
Primevil did it.
Transformers, by the looks of the human/transformer ratio on IMDB, looks like it'll do it.
I'd watch, and have watched the ones that were out, to see the fighting and the creatures. Not some loser group of human fighting and bickering.
Oh, and the entire X-Men trilogy, Hulk, Superman Returns, Daredevil, Elektra, Fantastic Four, and every new Batman movie after the Catwoman/Penguin one. Especially the Batman ones. Gah, I hate it when they try to do the deep dark evil "I'm your worst nightmare" voice, and suck at it. He's supposed to act gruff and mysterious, not sound like he's a teenager going through puberty that's been smoking for years.
*Sigh* man do I need to see more movies, but perhaps I've been scared out of the theaters from seeing the commercials for so much crap.
Okay, the only bad movies that come to my mind right now are pretty much all of the video game to movies, as they almost always mangle the plot, use sucky actors, and a good number were also directed by Uwe Boll.
I have yet to actually walk out of a theater because of seeing a crappy movie, but that's because I usually make sure or just don't go at all.
I do remember TMNT 3, that was horrible. Bad costumes, bad dialogue, sucky plot that has nothing to do with the show (once again, killing the appeal to the largest part of the audience for it), it was just plain bad.
The problem is I usually don't realize how bad these films are until the second time. My mind's on auto pilot the first time and certain things escape my notice, such as batman armor nipples. I suppose my awareness in video games is more profound than it is in movies.
Also, I'm against slasher flicks, nto just because many of them suck, but because I suppose I'm more of the action/horror kind of guy, who would rather see the monster or villain go after some competent pray.
Which reminds me, Doom was disappointing as well. I liked the First Person part of it, but the rest was BS. We didn't even get to see the BFG tear one of the hell knights a new one.
....Batman armour nipples... :giggle
Funnily enough, I bought my dad the first four Batman movies for Christmas and they kept mentioning the nipple thing in the special features.
That and almost all the crew felt like they were making some kind of toy commercial...
And how did I let Freeze running on diamonds slip past me? Sure, they could make a good focus, but a power source?
AVP is a good example. There's also Underworld.
Underworld had some retarded were-wolf designs if I recall correctly, but then again, most movie wolfmen have had a history of looking more like monkey suits with oversized teeth.
I still want to see a lycanthrope movie that isn't vs. vampires, and has more lycanthropes than just wolves. I know some people who are still waiting for their werebear with an ax.

Dog Soldiers?
.. oh, hang on. That's just wolves. And still shit. :-)
I remember seeing Dog Soldiers. At least they opted not to go digital and used suits... :rolleyes
Wasn't it supposed to have some kind of sequel?
titanic....nuff said.
I laughed in Titanic... my friend hated me for the rest of the day (though, she had seen the movie 11 times before and this was the first time seeing it for me).
My brother and a friend of his (female) went to see it. Apparently they both laughed themselves sick at the point where the engineer is talking about how he wanted a majestic name for the boat, and how women don't have the brains to cope with technical things.
I should point out here that his friend was, at the time, the chief engineer in charge of the power generation at all the dams in the South Island, that generates something over half the power for the whole of NZ, and was the sort of person who takes her car apart on a weekend for fun...
I've seen Titanic once and I didn't think that there was anything overly wrong with it.
Then again, I may just like sappy love stories >_>

Star Wars prequels. Discuss.

* is not distracted *
Except that it is very,
very long, sappier than a newly planted forest, more predictable than gravity,
LONG, inflicted on every man that had a girlfriend when it was in theaters (and, therefore, should be banned by the Geneva convention), boring, and did I mention
LONG?
back on topic: every batman movie made, except for the animated ones.
Mask of the Phantasm kicked all their asses!
From what I saw of Batman Begins in a sneak peak, I knew I wasn't going to see it. What kind of voice is that for Batman, the guy's laying it on way too thick.

I agree. All the movie-batman's are rather too metrosexual to bear the name Batman. One of them had NIPPLES on his costume for crying out loud.
The only non-animated batman that was done right in some fashion was in the short fan-made film "Batman: Dead end". Why can't hollywood get a dark brooding hero right, when a bunch of students on a tight budget can?
My addition to this pile: All the Scooby Doo movies made except the one about real zombies in a swamp and the one with Ben Ravencroft (or what ever the heck his name was). Those two are the only ones I found worth watching of the series, but thats only in the series. And even for that I didn't bother remembering the names of the movie.
After so much theology this semester, I am finally reminded of the Ten Commandments. Not only because such things as the five books Moses gives at the end weren't actually written by his time, but also that whole scene while God's printing out the commandments for him.
"**** people, I'm gone for like a day and this is what I return to?"
Then he throws the slab with the commandments at them. Smooth move, now how are you going to read them to the survivors?
And that's not even mentioning the cheesy acting and the fact I missed the first half of the movie.
I'm surprised nobody has nominated the Double Dragon film, or any Uwe Boll Films (BloodRayne)
I did note any film off a video game done by Uwe Boll, I just haven't had the torture of seeing them myself.
Everyone knows Blanka wasnt skinny shrimp like Edward Elric
Well, at least it wasn't as bad as the korean live action TV show they made out of it, which wasn't even authorized by Capcom.

BloodRayne is the only one worth watching, but you need popcorn. The rest fall into the category of "Painfully Bad", rather than "MST3K Bad".
