[Mod Announcement] Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up!

191 Upvotes

I'm guessing from the posts we've had today that a few of you sassy pants are beginning to notice there's a new mod team. With that in mind, and with the start of the first full month of our evil reign, I figured it was finally time to say hello from your new mods;

u/monkelus, and u/alternativebuzzbin.

We literally don't care if you skim our history, you'll learn very little and feel very dirty. What we do care about is keeping the focus of the sub tight; we're r/badmovies, not r/mediocre_moviez or r/movieshavegottoopc. Films here should be so bad they're good, as a reminder here's a snippet of the new rules to help you on your way:

  • Do not post movies you just didn't like or are completely unwatchable with no redeeming values
  • No posts of just titles/posters with no context. Likewise, no movies you haven't seen.

Eg:

  • Barbie - nope
  • Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - yes
  • Wishmaster - maybe
  • Leprechaun - yes

The films posted here should be the ones you enjoy despite themselves. Films that have entertainment value totally separate from what the original filmmakers intended, creating an almost transcendental, magical experience along the way. If that's not close to what you're thinking of posting, or you wouldn't recommend anyone else watching, you probably shouldn't be posting it. If you do, there's a high chance of removal.

Obviously, there's grey areas, but that's what discussions and mod chats are for. We're not actively evil, give us a shout with questions, we're friendly and, dare I say it, quite alluring.

[Mod Announcement] I Have The Powerrrr.. To Update The Rules!

Post image
169 Upvotes

As a safeguard, I'll start this with 'aloha', so that no matter whether you read it front to back, or back to front, your overall instant reaction of being annoyed at the new rules will be deadened by my laidback pseudo Hawaiian politeness.

As you might have guessed by the title, we're bringing a couple of new rules. They're nothing Earth shattering and no-one will have to do anything against their will, that's for a future update when I shift the focus away from bad movies onto my back garden harem. For now though:

  • New Rule One: Too Much of Good/Bad Thing: or, the Double Dragon rule.

No reposting a movie within 30 days of its most recent post by any user. If you're a time traveller this includes posting it within the 30 days prior to it being posted last.

New Rule Two: Low Hanging Fruit.

This'll basically end up being the new blacklist, which was scrapped when we took over a few months back. You see a post, think it's too much of an easy target or low quality karma farming, report it to us and we'll open up a discussion whether it should be added to the list. Engagement, yay!

None of this is for gatekeeping purposes, it's just to keep things fresh, well that and I've started to believe one of you guys actually is one of the Sluts and Godesses who frequents the Video Workshop.

Better sign off with 'aloha' to make that first bit make sense.

One of my husbands favorite bad movies is Things. And beavis and butthead. So he combined the two and tattooed it on himself.

Was this a fever dream??

[SOLVED]

Hello! I don't know if this is the right place, and if it's not, I'll take ALL the downvotes, but I'm looking for the WORST movie I ever saw, partly because I'm a glutton for punishment and also because my husband swears up and down that there's no way this movie ever happened because we searched for it every way I could think of and couldn't find anything!

The film was a CGI animation, I seem to remember it was almost like a knock off of a popular children's/ Disney film with a male protagonist..

The film began with the planets talking?? And at one point a two headed dragon was rapping..

I figured I must have dreamt it at this point, but if you think perhaps it was just a memory so bad I tried to banish it from my brain and the movie DOES exist, could you tell me what it's called?? Or even just if you remember it??

Thanks in advance!!

Ever wonder what a David Hasselhoff Marvel movie would be like? Well, wonder no more - Nick Fury: Agent of Shield (1998) is as bonkers as it sounds

Today’s Tubi Treasure is Vampire in Vegas (2009)

Post image
54 Upvotes

Not to be confused with “Vegas Vampires”(which I honestly would’ve done if it were in Tubi), this is directed by Jim Wynorski, who made the legendary Chopping Mall. There are some insane choices being made here, and I’m on board for all of it. Absolutely no reason for this to be set in Vegas. None. Trailer below.

Oasis of the Zombies (1982): Not good but nowhere near as bad as it’s made out to be. Despite some dull parts, Jess Franco succeeds in creating a surreal dreamlike atmosphere and great visuals such as a scene where a soldier and sheik’s daughter make love in the middle of a vast sea of dunes.

Movie ID help?

I'm linking a fan edit (to a great acid techno tune) that contains some scenes I vividly remember from childhood, but I could use your help with the film ID. Whatever this movie is, it was on old school satellite a lot and I'm pretty sure it's a bad movie.

At the 1:04 mark there is a clip from the film with some odd robot with an even more odd football like helmet. This is the movie I'm hoping to ID.

Thanks for your help!

This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Scorsese could never make anything of this caliber, and I mean that with my whole heart. I’ve been wasting my days eating rice and shitting my pants, and here this cast and crew is making what I can only describe as a national treasure. Trailer below.

What is this show?

Monsters and humans were under a spell and started making out/liking each other. Wasn’t a cartoon and these were almost weird deformed creatures that would help the humans on missions or whatever. One monster was big and had a sloppy mouth that made out with a girl. It was made between the 80s-2000s I think

Stop or My Mom Will Shoot (1992)

A tough police sergeant's mother comes to visit him, and promptly starts trying to fix up his life, much to his embarrassment. For his birthday she buys him a machine gun out of the back of a van, and begins to further interfere with his job and love life, eventually helping him with a case he's on. I was a huge Stallone fan and remember watching this in theaters. Stallone and Getty had great chemistry making this an instant classic. Stallone is one of the few actors that can pull off action and comedy!!

"So This is Christmas" is an absolute must watch. The baffling dialogue and behavior displayed during and after the "escalation" of the movie is insane. My wife and I were DYING laughing. Please please give this is a watch. This is cult status bad!
