Gods of Egypt is horrible

[Ryujin]

I'm pretty sure Zardoz was made while John Boorman was using LSD.

(I actually like Zardoz. The whole opening with the float-y head and, ahem, speech about 'evil' is one of my favorite sequences in film.)

Makes sense. You've got to be in some sort of altered state to follow it.

 

[Tonguez]

For all you people seeking the nadir of moviedom... Zardoz? Lawnmower Man?

Incoherent movies abound.

I may be one of the few people who likes Zardoz and indeed the story in Zardoz is far more comprehensible than Gods of Egypt.

really if GoE had the edge of Zardoz' social commentary or if they had included more porn it would at least have given it purpose.

Anything made in the 80s has a 50%+ chance of being made when the director and/or major actors were on drugs. That's nothing.

But King out right admitted he was coked out of his mind lol

The 80s was Hollywood on cocaine.

Robo-Vampire predates that, coming out a year(?) After Robocop.
Looking it up your Knights movie sounds like it has a comprehensible (if stupid) plot.

You're right- somehow I misread 1988 as 1998. My bad!

RV? Not so much.
Set in an '80s jungle, there's DEA style drug agents, necromancers, Chinese hopping vampires (one of wich wears a rubber gorilla mask), a scantily clad female ghost - who for no reason rips her top off late in the movie, flashbacks to an irrelivabt love stoey, the Robo hero is dressed in silver painted padded armor, TERRIBLE effects/sound/stunts, inexplicable actions & diologue, and then it ends.
They took several bad movies, mashed them together, & filled in some bits.
I have this on a compilation disc (of other bad sci-fi). The 1st time I saw it I was dead tired & fell asleep about 20m in. It made no sense. I woke up in time to catch the last 15m. It made no sense.
"Ok", I thought, "I did sleep though the middle parts...."
So I watched it all the way through the next night.
It STILL made no @$&* sense! I just saw more of it.
So I shared it with my D&D group.
We now use it as a hazing ritual when new people join our game. If you can sit through this & then give an explanation of what was going on? Your character gets to start at equel lv/power as the rest of us.
That's how bad RV is. God's of Egypt won't come close to it.

Sounds bad...but not as bad as the others I listed, even though their plots may be more comprehensible. (The Room, arguably is just as mind-numbingly muddled.)

Count me as another Zardoz fan. Lawnmower Man, though...it isn't bad enough to hate, or good enough to like. It's not a movie, its a "meh"-vie.

I saw the trailer for this, and concluded it was an overbudgeted b-movie that would be good for a rental whenever I need a laugh. But man, this clip makes me think it's not even guilty pleasure material:

The effects already look pretty cheap, but did they have to layer it with such cringeworthy bad acting?! A poster at the NeoGAF forums remarked that this was probably directed by Tommy Wiseau.

Also, director Alex Proyas is having a meltdown over the film's reception. Check out the original facebook post and news story below.

From that post:

This time of course they have bigger axes to grind - they can rip into my movie while trying to make their mainly pale asses look so politically correct by screaming "white-wash!!!” like the deranged idiots they all are.

My not-so-pale ass decided many years ago to vote with my dollars and not spend it on movies that white-wash. That he doesn't understand that issue so fundamentally speaks volumes.

That he's outraged over being called out on it for such a bad movie? Well, that makes it hilarious.

That sounds like the description of a porn movie.

Porn movies have better scripts.

Not all, but some.
