Worst movies ever....

[ConnorSB]

Ahh... Gymkata.

I'll have you know, Hyperspace was hyped as having Richard Norton as the main character. Note that he not only played a minor role in Gymkata, but was also the star of not just Carnasaurs, but Carasaurs 2 as well. Personally, not only is he an awful actor, but he is so consistantly bad and yet dedicated to continuing his career that Richard Norton is actually the Worst Actor Ever. And hyperspace is just, well, awful.

Here's its entry on IMDB, so you can sample the filmographys of its "illustrious" cast... and director.

Heh.

I'm mostly familiar with Richard Norton from his appearances in Cynthia Rothrock films.

And even in those, he stands out as an Awful Actor

That takes talent.

Here's another one I'll throw onto the list, only because it hasn't been mentioned yet...

Hmm, it must have been around 1983 or 1984, I went to the movies with a friend of mine from high school who ended up at the same university as I did. Not knowing most of the movies that were playing at the time (nothing particularly caught our eyes), I suggested we try "Timewalker," since I had seen an ad for it on TV and it was supposed ot be some kind of horror movie.

Ugh. Not only was it a cheesy mummy movie, but it looked like it had been made by high schoolers in their spare time. Bad acting, poor special effects, sucky mummies, and then, to top it off, apparently they ran out of money to make this stinker, so they ended the movie with a "To Be Continued" right in the middle of what little action there was.

"To Be Continued" -- yeah, right. It's been two decades now, and there hasn't been a public outcry of "so what happened next?" that I'm aware of.

What no mention of Hardware, or Metalstorm: the wrath of jarad synn?(not sure on the jarad synn spelling btw)

Highlander 2 was of course just as hugh a pile o' crap.

Although Gymkata and megaforce are on my so bad i can't help liking them list.

A loose it everytime i see the pommel horse seen.

Fist of the northstar. The live version. 'Nuff said.

I'm going to have to say "Manos: Hands of Fate" is THE worst movie ever made, followed closely by "The Incredible Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies!!?" (not even Mike and the 'bots could help me view that all the way through the first time). "The Creeping Terror" must get a nod here too, it's a horror movie with a NARRATOR! Apparently the director accidentally knocked all the sound recording equipment into a lake early in the production and couldn't afford to replace it. Plus, the monster looks like a giant shag carpet that moves so slowly, its victims have to crawl into its mouth to be devoured.

God Bless MST3K for enriching my life with terrible movies!

I can't beleive it took six pages before Manos was mentioned. It's horrable, it defies description how aweful this film is.

Let's see...I also hated Blade Runner. I got the director's cut on DVD because everyone said it was a "must own" for the new format. That movie was soooo stupid. Maybe I'm just pissed that I spent money on it, who knows?

I don't think it's a terrible movie, but I definitely think that it's waaaaaaay overrated.

I was about 12 when I saw Blade Runner back in 82. I thought Deckards gun was cool. I thought Pris was cool when she was kicking Deckards ass in that building, I though the lying cars were cool.

When I was older I appreciated the noir aspects of the film more than the Sci-Fi elements, but my fellow geeks at the time swore up and down that this was one of the best movies ever. I told them that they REALLY needed to see more movies. It's a good movie with the voice over and IMHO the directors cut hurts the film abit, but yeah it's not the end all be all the everyone (except for you) seems to think it is.

As for me I try to avoid things that I know that I'm not going to like. Every now and then however I get caught out there, case in point Highlander 2, House on Haunted Hill and Spider Man.

Yes I said Spider-Man. I liked when I first saw it and even got the DVD. THen Iwatched it again and realized just how bad this movie was. Ugh.

ShinHakk - again, you're getting confused between a "Movie that disappointed you" or a "Movie that other people like and you don't" with "The Worst Movie Ever."

I now will give props to ENWorld for actually having a very entertaining, informative Worst Movies Ever thread that actually targets some BAD movies.

So many message boards miss the boat in their "Worst Movies Ever" threads - this one has nailed some REALLY bad movies. And is a lot of fun - I'm laughing hard at the screencap of the Gymkata pommel horse and the like.

:thumbsup:, ENWorld.

Now what the heck is "At Long Last Love", and why does it sound somewhat familiar?

HELL SQUAD (not the 1958 one)

Back in the early 90's, just about any movie that came on USA's Up All Night would qualify as being bad movies.

There was one "Hell Squad"... It involved a group of women trained as commandos. However, their uniforms were nothing more than a bikini and thong (camoflauged of course) and some wore bandoliers with bullets that wouldn't even fit into their guns or rifles.

The female commandos (about a dozen of them) were once Vegas showgirls and they would train to rescue some diplomat's son. In between training and missions all would take a bath together. (remember this, it becomes important later).

There was all kinds of continuity problems with the film. This was my favorite: After rescuing some men there was a wide shot of the women helping the men onto the shore. Two women were assisting a guy and they drop him on the shore and exit the screen. My roommate and I started to yell at the TV "Go back for him. Go back." And without editing anything out. The two women came back picked up the guy and walked off the screen.

With the main mission accomplished the women were back in the hot tub/bath tub (yes it was a big tub) and it was learned that there might have been a traitor among the commados. They cornered one girl, pulled her wig off and it was a guy....

All this time in the bath tub and no one noticed that someone was bring extra equipment to the party???

Another horrible film: Day of the Dead. I watched about an hour of it, but between the stereotype characters portrayed by individuals that may have flunked out of acting school, a piss-poor script and thinning plot line, I could only take so much.
