Agree, Hard ticket to Hawaii is amazing!
In the same style, i would mention:
- Miami Connection
- Samurai Cop
- Eliminators
- Street Trash
I love a bad movie but I could not handle Street Trash.
Black Dynamite is so bad it’s good again!
Noooo not the childreeeen :D
Airborn (the one with the rollerblade race down Devil’s Backbone, the biggest hill in Cincinnati)
Bubbahotep
Bloodsport
Krull
Bubbahotep
Bubba Ho-Tep is a fucking masterpiece and you’ll sit in the corner and watch it as many times as you need to to change your way of thinking.
- Cemetary Man
- Phantasm
Any chance you follow The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs?
I do not, should I check it out?
Oh man I loved Phantasm. I was blown away when I found out they made more than one.
Maybe I’m out of the loop, but Cemetery Man is a bad movie‽ Maybe I need to broaden my definition, but I think it’s great for all the right reasons! Is it gratuitous and gory? Sure. But bad?
“I kick ASS for the LAW-AD”
(And the whole subplot where he’s earnestly trying to cut his own dick off.)
I mean I’m not trying to be negative; I thoroughly enjoyed it and I thought it had vision. Maybe I misunderstood the question though.
Oh, I get what happened! You’re mixing up Cemetery Man (Rupert Everett is the caretaker of a cemetery where folks come back from the dead and he has to re-kill them in an Italian art-horror existential dark comedy) with Dead Alive (The Lord of the Rings’ own Peter Jackson’s gross out horror comedy where folks die from the bite of the Sumatran Rat Monkey only to return as semi-sentient zombies culminating in some magnificently over-the-top gore/monster set pieces).
I think they are both great (different flavors of the same subject), and both very watchable.
If you enjoyed some of the goofy/gorier parts of Dead Alive, I’d recommend Fist of Jesus - a short film where Jesus’ resurrection power goes awry and…zombies. It borrows heavily from Dead Alive, but the gags are still pretty solid. https://youtu.be/GuKV2Z3eYTY
Oh wait… I think you’re right about the crazy preacher being from Dead Alive. They’re both thoroughly enjoyable though, yes.
Edit: And I thought back a little more and you’re right about the broader point; some of the goofy stuff that I was attributing to Cemetery Man was from Dead Alive. Cemetery Man is definitely a mindfuck but it’s not really a “bad” or shlocky movie like I was remembering. It’s just its own thing.
Dead sushi and robo geisha
Joe Dirt!
It was so hilariously awful, I love it.
Don’t really have a top list, but that’s the one I always come up with when asked.
I’m sure there are more I’m forgetting, but here’s what comes to mind:
- Birdemic
- Samurai Cop
- Sharkboy and Lavagirl
Special emphasis on Sharkboy and Lavagirl. I don’t see enough people talking about this one. It really sucks you in, and it feels impossible to stop watching.
Mausoleum, highway to hell, bodymelt, house of whipchord annnddd chopping mall 🤖🤖🤖
Zombeavers was pretty entertaining
Reanimator
Basket Case
Terror vision
Nightmare in a damaged brain
Demons
Brain Damage
And I could go on
Nice to see love for Frank Henenlotter. Basket Case and Brain Damage are both quite good. I couldn’t tell you why I had a preference for Frankenhooker. Maybe it’s the Super Crack?
Reanimator was so bad, I enjoyed it
I guess I don’t really watch too many ‘bad’ movies because I don’t have many in my head, but the first thing that springs to mind is Velocipastor.
But is Velocipastor really a bad movie if it did exactly what it set out to do?
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
Within a few minutes of watching it I knew it was going to be awesomely bad, and it lived up to my expectations
Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey
I’m mostly just thrilled that Disney finally lost something to the public domain. (And, yes, I know it was acquired by Disney and not originally created by Disney.)
Disney finally lost something to the public domain.
I’m not convinced that the legal right to make that film was there. Yes, the copyright has expired in the USA, however the film was produced and filmed in the UK. Winnie The Pooh is still under copyright until 2026 in the UK (70 years after the author died)
Good call. I didn’t realize there were still places where the original works were still under copyright. But in retrospect, I should have thought of that possibility.
I suppose that makes Blood and Honey a pirate film, which is still good in my book. It’ll be interesting to see if Disney decides to bring any legal cases in the UK or anything.
- Night Feeder: featuring The Nuns, it’s a very bad movie that was clearly made with a lot of love
- Hobgoblins: MST3K classic
- Blood Theatre: the music is somehow catchier than it has any right to be
- Undefeatable: Cynthia Rothrock “masterpiece”
- just… all of the American Ninja movies
Thankskilling is truly a gem!
