" I Spit On Your Grave" / early 80's
Low, low, low budget flick. I saw it when I was a teen and spent more time laughing at how awful it was than anything else. Looks like a cheap porno-muffled voices, awful dialogue, grainy film quality, cast of nobodies. Plot: a group of chicks are raped then seek revenge on the rapists by luring them back to the scene of the crime and killing them. Highlight: girl and guy sitting in tub;she takes a hidden knife and cuts off his "boys" leaving him to bleed to death. A classic!
Labyrinth / 1986
A girl has to save her kidnapped little brother from David Bowie, who lives in a castle in the middle of a giant maze filled with puppets. The puppets look like puppets, and David Bowie looks like Ziggy Stardust crossed with that SNL Cheri Oteri character who was addicted to prescription drugs.
Labyrinth / 1986
Bad David Bowie acting plus cheesy special effects and awful songs = horrible movie.
Tina J. was thinking about "Class of 1984", which was released in 1982. "1984" is a movie based on George Orwell's 1949 dark satirical novel, and it was just as bad. Even Richard Burton couldn't save this junk. "Brazil" was a much better film of the same premise.
This movie was about a high school which has a gang in it and the gang begins to kill teachers and students. The plot, stunts, and acting is just plain bad.
This movie makes me laugh. It's about this kid who obsessed with a 976 number and he turns into a zombie, I think. This movie really stinks. I mean P.U.
About Last Night / 1986?
I'm convinced that every movie that Rob Lowe starred in during the 1980s really just sucked. He always played some hard ass guy who does nothing but has sex and tells bad jokes throughout the entire movie. Think about it...Oxford Blues, Youngblood, St. Elmo's Fire, The Hotel New Hampshire. And then, to add a story about a self-involved immature guy who tries so hard to be overly-masculine (along with James Belushi) that it almost turns out to be homoerotic, is quite stupid. And then add about one hour of sex, one hour of bickering, and you have yourself a product of the me generation.
Set in 1960's London. It really sucked for it to be a musical. Even David Bowie and Sade couldn't save this movie. It just didn't make any sense to me.
It begins with a man being set on fire and falling down several stories of a posh hotel room, and ends with Carl Weathers' acting career doing likewise. The "so bad, it's very bad" crime-action-thriller casts Weathers' as a "Dirty Harry"-type who is assigned to protect witness Vanity from businessman/killer Craig T. Nelson, who has murdered wife Sharon Stone. The sole purpose of this stinker was to try to convince the viewer that all white businessmen are evil stuff shirts that hire blacks and foreigners to do their dirty work, and killing them is actually fun. What a vicious knockout blow to the former Apollo Creed of "Rocky".
It's one of these movies that most people, including myself, enjoyed as a child, but isn't that good as watching it as an adult. It's about Elizabeth Shue's character and a group of kids hanging around the city & getting in trouble with some gang or something.
Alien From L.A. / 1985?
It was on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Need I say more? Well, I'm gonna anyway! Comedy Central, former home of MST3K, actually showed it occasionally as a regular movie. HUH??!? Well, getting back on subject, it starred a young bespectacled Kathy Ireland who goes looking for her archaeologist father and winds up in some sick underground world and befriends an Austrailian.... No, I'm not kidding. That's the sad part. A bad guy who looks like a reject from Clockwork Orange and some strange woman who looked and acted like a junkie-whore, but probably wasn't. She always wanted "shiny ones", which I assume was some form of currency. This movie isn't a bad acid trip, it's a bad PCP trip in Hell. I believe Jack Kevorkian sold it as a motivational tape (ha-ha!). Frotunately, this made for one of MST3K's best episodes, especially Tom Servo's line(as the Austrailian guy is walking around for no apparent reason), "I've lost my accent. Has anyone seen my accent? It's about this big..."
all / all
You all wouldnt know a good movie if it bit you in the ass...
Wanna bet? Crudely drawn animated movie about two dogs looking the killer of one of the dogs. They meet a little girl who can communicate with animals. No real kid should ever be exposed to this assault on their little senses. Also starring the voices of Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise, so now there's no reason for anyone else to view this either.
It stunk because it had a combination of bad writing and bad acting. that movie was slow and stupid. It starred an unknown Joan Cusack, which was okay, but also it had Susannah Hoffs in it!!! If you remember, she was the lead singer of the Bangles at that time. The girl cannot act and I think the movie was directed by her mother. UGH!!
I know this movie won Best Picture back in the early 80s, but this movie just plain sucked. I couldn't sit through the whole thing, it was sooooo boring. I'm sure a lot of classical music buffs went nutso over this film, but if I want to watch a movie about music, please give me some good rock, not classical! And putting Tom Hulce in a powdered wig does NOT convince me that he's Mozart. This movie was almost as silly and pointless as the Falco video it inspired!
Awful. Corny. Sacharine. Just awful.
The Apple / 1980
Oh man, everything. This is The Village People without the fun factor. This picture about an acoustic singer/songwriter couple's run-in with the big bad music conglomerate BIM is pure MST3k material. This has to be one of the worst films ever released, and you cannot probably stand watching more than 10 minutes at a time before either (a) laughing hysterically or (b) hitting your head against the nearest wall.
April Fools Day / 1986
What is the point of this movie again?? If you pay close attention, it'll be like a low budget movie reunion. That chick that lives from "Friday the 13th part 2". A few people from "Just one of the guys". And I believe his name is Larry from "Summer Schoool". Just be careful when watching this movie. Not only is the plot dumb, it is pretty cheese filled, if you get what I'm sayin'!!!!!!!!
Avenging Angel / 1985
This was a sequel to the low-budget hit, "Angel", which featured a high school honor roll student who was a gun-wielding prostitute at night (Yeah, right!). But not even that film was as terrible as it's sequel, where young Molly "Angel" Stewart (played by the 80s omnipresent and untalented Betsy Russell, but who cares about talent in this film?) returns to the slums to do battle with Mafia types who have kidnapped her baby. It just has to be seen to believe, and you probably still won't believe it. The worst part is seeing good actors like Rory Calhoun and Susan Tyrrell reduced to characactures of their former selves. If you rent this film, I suggest throwing it away instead of returning it to the video store out of respect for other movie renters.
Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend / 1985
As if I have to tell you that a movie about a prehistoric dinosaur BABY discovered in the 80's is going to suck worse than a prostate exam. This fine piece of cinema should give you a fair indication of why Sean Young's career went down the toilet FAST. The worst rubber dinosaur you ever saw in your life.
Babycakes / 1989
This stinker stars Ricki Lake as a mortician who falls for a svelte ice skater, played by Craig Schiffer. It was done 12 years later (and better) in "Head Over Heels." Besides, the way she stalks him couldn't be legal in any state! This film was so bad, I shut it off 45 minutes into it. Yuck! Avoid this movie!
Middle-aged Frankie & Annette, from those lame '60's beach flicks, reunite in this 1987 travesty featuring a punk rock son & daughter. Filled with cameos of washed up '60's celebrities and outdated jokes/lingo that wouldn't make a good film. Even cameos of ska band Fishbone & PeeWee Herman doens't make this enjoyable. If you want a '60's flash back, I'd recommend the original '60's beach films instead.
I don't want to watch a movie where an old dude (Doc Brown or the principal) have relations with a high schooler (Marty) and go back in time with a DMC. How stupid is that!!! This entire thing is obviously a metaphor for homosexual tendencies!!
Take Bob Dylan and The Heartbreakers (forget about Tom Petty), and the maker of Miami Vice and you get...ta-da! Yes! Band of the Hand. Oh, yes, I forgot to mention a very young actress named Lauren Holly and also a young Laurence Fishborne (he may not have the cool glasses like in the matrix, but he has one hell of a Z shaved on the back of his head. Well, anyway these young punks are sent to jail for various crimes (gang riots, blowing up their high school, dealing coke in the big leagues, etc.) and get thrown into an 'experimental government plan for rehabilitation'. That's right! Send em' to the everglades! After that, throw them in a run-down crack house in the Miami ghetto and see if they make it! Of course they do, and they do it while Bob Dylan and the Heartbreakers sing the theme song!
Barbaric Beast of Boggy Creek, Part II / 1985
I remember watching it about 2 months ago on TV. I laughed through the whole thing The acting was horrible, the plot was skimpy and just the idea of the movie being intended to be scary was ridiculous.
Basket Case / 1982
First I have to admit: this movie has a great plot, very original, and it has a very good ending too. Now the bad news: It's boring, the actors suck and even if the director made twice the effort he made, Basket Case would still suck! And one thing's worse: this movie has two sequels, and I need to tell you, these 2 movies are the only things that can make Basket Case look like a watchable movie. I'd like to tell you to watch it and find out for yourself, but I can't, cuz I'd have the feeling I'm making you lose your time. Sorry for those who loved it! I thought I did, until I recently watched it again, and now I know it's too bad I bought the whole trilogy. However if you want a good twisted horror movie that has an original plot, try to find Nekromantik. It's a german film and it might be the weirdest thing you'll ever see but it's great. Trust me. Leave Basket Case and its sequels to those who have insomnia problems.
A group of tiny space ships help an elderly couple to save their old apartment from being demolished by some greedy yuppy. The whole movie was boring and predictable. It's so bad it would make "Gigli" look interesting by comparision. Enough said.
Beach Girls / 1985
Its almost so disgustingly terrible that I'm beggining to enjoy it. I keep finding myself watching it on video
Dudley Moore and Eddie Murphy should have both skipped this clunker. Eddie Murphy was one of the hottest comedians in the U.S. at the time this movie was released. He was billed as one of the stars, but was in it for (what seemed like) 5 minutes. One of the worst movies of all time!
The Big Chill / 1983
Boring, stupid plot...lame and full of cliches. The best part of this movie was the suicide that took place before the plot begins. The characters are annoying and stereotypical, but they're TRYING too hard not to be boring and stereotypical, which makes the whole thing worse. Glenn Close is awful, as is Jeff Goldblum. But NOTHING happens--they sit around and whine and babble in cliches. Most of them end up having sex with each other in sex scenes that would cure insomnia. I do not understand WHY anyone would like this movie. It makes "St. Elmos Fire" look good.
It is an annoying waste of a film that never does make any sense or become interesting at all. The film deals with a circus coming to town and Pee-Wee inviting the group to set up on his farm, where he falls in love and has a pig. Tedious and unnecessary, Big Top Pee-wee is one of the poorest excuses for a film I have ever seen. Turkey (0 out of 5 stars).
One of the stupidest action movies or the 80s. And not really that exciting. Tommy Lee Jones plays a "runner", a thief hired by the FBI to tape Robert Vaughn's shady business. But he hides the tape inside a protype car and spends the rest of the movie driving it to escape bounty hunters. Linda Hamilton (The first 2 Terminator films) is wasted as the love interest of both Jones and head bounty hunter Lee Ving. A dreadful high speed disaster as I've ever seen.
A movie about a large piece of pink Jello that flatens and kills you. I thought I knew stupid until I saw this movie. Not only is the concept a complete dud, but the intelligence of the people in the movie itself was down right insulting to mankind. How can anyone possibly think that shooting a shotgun at a huge Jello blob is going to kill it? What exactly do you aim for? One word sums up this movie, HORRIBLE!!!!
Blood Beach / 1981
Something attacked people or sucked them into the sand when they went to the beach. My brother and I use to reinact the trailers to the movie everyday when we went to the beach.
Besides the fact I can't stand Brooke Shields, this movie is nothing more than a boring combination of the current tv show "Survivor" meets "Dawson's Creek". Not to mention the fact I found it boring. I still wouldn't like it if it were made now with Scarlett Johanson.
Body Rock / 1985
Can you imagine Lorenzo Lamas break dancing or pop locking? I admit the plot in the two Breakin films sucked, but the dancing and music was great. Both the music and dancing were terrible. This film is worst than "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"
Somebody agrees with you. This movie was cheesy, campy, and just downright annoying. I wanted to slap everyone after 10 minutes. "Demented, and sad, yet really lame" sums up this movie.
No one else will agree with me here, but they should! It was cliche, it was boring, the acting was pathetic, and the writing was simply sad.
Breakin / 1984
Ok, so we know the acting was so bad, it was amazing. The dancing was awesome! I actually do love this movie...don't forget Breakin' 2!
Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo / 1985
Well Turbo, Ozone, and Kelly are back with a sequel to the worst movie ever. You can't help watching the horrible acting, but the break dancing was okay. They swallowed their pride to combine raw street talent with Broadway action. To sum it, man, I tell ya, this was gut wrenching.
It was stupid. I don't think Richard Pryor has any talent - at all. He always appears to be ad libbing, struggling for something funny to say. Can't think of anything funny to say? Then just babble and sputter; this movie was terrible.
Bullies / 1986
Let me count the ways. A wimpy city family comes to a small hick town run by title characters. The boy falls for Olivia D'Abo, who is the only female of the otherwise male-psycho family. Predictability ensues. Watching this movie made me as stupid as the bullies and their intended victims. The bullies are typical (as in stereotypical) trash. The British Olivia can fake the Yankee accent, but otherwise she stinks. No wonder we never saw the actors other than her in anything else.
This movie was totally retarded. I don't even want to waist my breath on it. Bad acting, stupid plot, an all-around stinker. Of all the movies Tom Hanks played in, many of which were worth the time, this one should have been burned.
Butterfly / 1982
Pathetic excuse to let Pia Zadora sing her crappy disco songs.
Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers (CHUD!). A bunch of cannibalistic mutants, created by toxic waste, live in the sewers and eat people. With Daniel Stern (criminal, from Home Alone) as "The Reverend" and John Heard (dad, from Home Alone) hunts down the CHUD. Bad acting, horrible cheesy monsters. So bad, it's a must see.
It was unfunny and inane. All the plots were uncollateral to each other. [Ed.'s note: But since this is considered a comedy classic by film critics around the world, to each his own.]
Caddyshack 2 / 1988
Not only is this one of the worst golf movies ever made, but it's one of the worst comedies of the '80s. The whole cast is wasted in this "movie". No one wonder Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield backed out of that movie, they knew the movie's gonna stink but it did... real bad! Wanna watch the funniest and best golf movie watch the orginal "Caddyshack" (1980).
Everyone in the original cast except for Chevy Chase and the gopher puppet passed on doing this sequel.(They must have been desperate for work.) So instead, we have the painfully unfunny Jackie Mason in a role similar to Rodney Dangerfield's, a ne'er-do-well trying to wrest control of a private golf club from Robert Stack and his snooty family. Not even Dan Aykroyd's mooning could save par from this junk.
Cannibal Holocaust / 1980
One of the most disgusting, pretentious and over-rated pieces of worthless garbage. Highly praised by fans of gore movies, this flick lacks of good actings(Considering that almost all the cast only worked in pornographgic movies before) a good plot(Wait, this movie donĀ't have a plot at all.) This movie is not even scary, it is just disgusting. And it is also incredibly boring and dull.
Worse than the first, a cameo-filled rip-off of "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" w/ the Rat Pack and a young Jackie Chan.
Can't buy me laughs, either. Patrick Dempsey (the King of moronic teen films) is such a loser that he has to pay the most popular girl in school to be his girl. Pathetic attempt to incorporate underaged drinking as funny and liberating gave me an itchy remote control finger.
Can't Stop the Music / 1980
For the love of everthing sacred, please stop the music! This was the Village People movie, released unfortunately well after disco's last gasp. Awful.
Care Bears: The Movie / 1986
One of the most cloying kiddie flicks of all time. Based on the equally bad dolls & cartoon. Yes, it's a film to cash in with the Care Bear products. Unlike many animated movies like "Dumbo" & "Fantasia", it doesn't stand the test of time.
Just some lousy, boring, non-interesting trash here, kids. You'll probably find it late-night on the USA network, I did.
Cemetery High / 1989
This is a film I saw back in the early 1990s on the USA cable network, it's about young women who are abused by the opposite sex, use their bodies to lure in scumbags and eliminate them!
A Certain Sacrifice / 1985
A movie made in the early '80's. Madonna first appeared in, but wasn't released until 1985 when she became a successful pop singer. Even she wanted to ban this film, though she had appeared in over a dozen awful films since. Not including "A League Of Their Own", which was a decent film. For some foresakin' reason, I found this stinkfest on DVD, and the only positive thing I can say is that it makes a great coaster.
Chained Heat / 1983
It's so bad it's good!!! Linda Blair (Yes, from "The Exorcist") played a prisoner who meets some interesting inmates & some messed up gaurds including one played by Sybil Danning, who strangely resembled Hillary Clinton. The whole movie is filled with some corny acting, pretictable plots, and a couple "F" words. Though I strangely can't take my eyes off of this film like if it were a cheesy '80's hairband music video. BTW, some of the actresses from "Chained Heat" also appeared in "The Concrete Jungle" (1982), another campy "Women In Prison" film.
This has got to be the worst horror film ever made in the history of man kind. The music sucked and the special effects could have been alot better.
Child's Play / 1988
Even as a child, it wasn't scary. The only scary thing was that it had a couple sequels in the early '90's & attempted a comeback with "Seed of Chucky", which thankfully was a flop.
Child's Play Trilogy / 1986-1989
I just didn't believe Chuckie's voice. "Sorry Jack, Chuckie's Back!" It was blood and gore. It was a very big waste of film.
The Chocolate War / 1988
I don't know if many people saw this movie in the eighties. I saw this movie on cable one night. It stared Iain Mitchell Smith (Wyatt from Weird Science) He played this kid who was an outsider and he refused to sell chocolate for his school. This movie didn't make sense to me. Even the ending was awful.
Chopping Mall / 1986
Do I really have to explain this one? Kids locked in a mall with new robotic security that starts going crazy and killing them. Like 'Valley Girl' meets 'The Terminator'. So bad that it is kind of cool.
What's so scary about a car?!! Based on Stephen King's worst novel ever, it involves a much maligned nerd who falls in love with title car. When he finally gets to date the girl of his dreams, "Christine" retaliates and kills just about everybody BUT her/its intended victims. Nothing is either scary nor believable, and the lovely "Baywatch" chick, Alexandra Paul is wasted. Celluloid version of a pile of scrap metal junk.
How can a movie about a guy who sleeps with thre mother of his best best friend be funny. This is not a laughing matter. Families are destroyed in real life because of mommies going bad and sleeping with their sons best friends. I seen this happen in real life, and is no laughing matter. Shame on the producer of this movie. I am glad Jackie Bisset is not my mother.
Class of 1984 / 1982
Just wanted to comment on someone who said that "Class of 1984" was Michael J. Fox's first movie, which is untrue. MJF's first movie was the Disney movie, "Midnight Madness" in 1980.
Class of 1984 / 1982
Perhaps best know as the first film for Michael J. Fox (and why he would want this film on his resume is beyond me). Evil gang of punks terrorize animal-loving professor Roddy McDowell and nerdy classmates---and only substitute teacher Perry King can stop them. Pray for us all. Bad acting, bad directing, and senseless violence. [i]Is there any punk that wouldn't like this film?[/i]
This was the most pointless waste of time!! It was a waste of electricity to power the cameras that filmed it. The studios should send an apology letter and refund to everyone that had the displeasure of viewing it.
A boring biography with the cliche "rags to riches" story line. Only a fan of Loretta Lynn or country music would enjoy this movie. Aside from the movie being about a country singer, it's nothing interesting.
Poor Sylvester Stallone! What a terrible movie! Stallone stars as a cop who chews a match, drives a fast car, and protects a model from a bunch of gang killers. The film does not make any sense. "Cobra" is a pure waste of a film that should be avoided at all costs. This movie SUCKS!!!!!
One of the lamest films of any time, it was made solely to bank in on Tom Cruise's rising popularity and success. The most inane plot and dialogue ever.
Arnold was horrible. He tries to be so serious and says corny lines such as: "I eat green berets for breakfast!" The special effects are horrible, the acting is bad, and they switch from a wrecked car to a perfect car in the same scene that's supposed to be the same car! Pay attention to when Arnold and his woman crash into the tree going at least 80 mph and how they aren't even phased by it! Very funny to watch!
I don't know what Whitley Streiber was smoking when he thought up that one (could just blame the aliens though), but it is undoubtedly one of the worst films I've ever seen. Terrible acting, absolutely no plot resolution, and you want to shoot all of the characters. The little blue aliens look like snow white put some of the dwarves in the microwave too long and the "grey" aliens like the one on the book cover are like evil Gumby toys. Drawing an alien on a napkin and floating it around on duct tape would be scarier than that crap.
First of all we have Arnold Schwartzinegger in a movie running around with a big sword and some hairy underwear. As if that wasn't bad enough you have another group of people in the movie wearing the same get up and even less talent. The film is definetly a classic, piece of trash. It needs to be taken off of the shelves so future generations don't have to go through the same traumatic experiences that those of us who've seen it already have. Let's think about the kids here people. Remove this monstrosity for the kids.
Crawlspace / 1986
Too numerous to list, maybe the worst movie I ever saw. Just pure crap. The "nudity" blows. I don't even know why it got an R. The worst part is I could have seen 'Toxic Avenger' instead, but my dumbass friend forced me to this.
Creature / 1984
Can you say rip off?! The movie was a clone of Ridley Scott's 1979 classic 'Alien'.
Stupid, a Saint Bernard dog gets rabies and kills just 3 people. And Tad's mother was attacked the same way the other people were and lives. Plus a Saint Bernard? ha! A Saint Bernard won't hurt anyone. And how come a girl didn't die, that is kind of dumb. It's got to be one of Stephen King's worst
Even worse than "Trail of the Pink Panther". First, they miscast Ted Wass of "Soap" as Clouseau's "American nephew" (because Wass didn't want a French accent). Then Blake Edwards subject him to unfunny slapstick such as getting trapped in a "jogger motel" (a popular "Saturday Night Live" ad parody). Even Herbert Lom (Inspector Dreyfus) was pretty lame-o.
Cutting Class / 1989
It was two hours too long. The Shannon Doherty wanna be did a whole lot of bad acting, the gay guy from Roseanne took the entire movie to "almost" die, the editor did some of the worst film cuts I've ever seen (including bad driving that looked like the tea cups ride at disney and the end, when the villain appear to "pop" out from behind the girl with a hammer halfway through his skull, yeah right, like she was strong enough to do that!), and the end tried to create a "theme" about killing beyond time, but even though they clearly stated it several times at the end, it failed miserably, along with the rest of the movie. Look for this one in Brad Pitt's skeleton closet.
Cutting Class / 1989
IMO, this is the birth of low-budget horror films, like "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer..."-except a million times worse. OK, this guy is obsessed with this girl and starts killing people. The girl thinks it's this guy she really likes, and thinks that he killed her dad. While she's at school, (I guess everyone's been evacuated) she's running around in the school like an idiot. She finds out who the real killer is, and the guy she likes, Dwight,(Brad Pitt) is trying to save her. Well, after a fight that lasts way too long (with her just watching and screaming), the psycho gets killed and Dwight and our dippy heroine drive away in Dwight's Mustang Convertible. They see some-beaten down guy rolling down a hill and she realizes it's her dad, but when Dwight tries to stop, he realizes the psycho cut his break line.(OH NO) He does a little "Oh look, I'm cool!" manuever and stops. Our dippy heroine tells him: "Looks like he got the crap kicked out of him!" She tells Dad that the psycho has been killed, and the only thing he says to his daughter is "You're not cutting school, are you, young lady?" Dwight and Dippy giggle, and the movie ends. Oh, please, smack them!
D.O.A. / 1988
Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan, need I say more (other than the fact it was a remake of the much superior 1940 film)?
One movie that is so putrid, it virtually stunted the acting careers of two actors, Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo. When the cop played by Williams is murdered (brutally, of course), he becomes a zombie who helps his partner solve his murder. Utterly without laughs, scares, or wit. And to think Piscopo pumped iron for this tripe?!!
Dead Poet's Society / 1989
Supposedly, this movie is a classic, but I cannot stand it!! I first saw this when I was almost 14 (1996), and a second time in Eleventh Grade Literature. Robin Williams couldn't even convince me to enjoy this movie. I'm sorry, but the plot was just long and drawn-out, the characters annoyed me, and that kid didn't have to kill himself at the end. My Literature teacher asked if anyone ever saw it, so I said I did, and she asked me if I liked it. I told her I didn't, so she asked me how old I was when I saw it. I said I think I was almost 14. She said I probably didn't appreciate it given my age at the time. I'm sorry, but age doesn't make a difference. My parents hated this film. It's crap!!!!
Deadly Blessing / 1981
Pretty God-awful here. Early 80's horror flick. Had a round-faced Sharon Stone and Earnest Borgnine playing some kind of Amish clan head who kept kicking his sons out of the clan for talking to the girls next door. Of course, they all end up getting killed by something called the "Incubus" that rises up out of the floor like a tornado and sucks people in. Say what? Pretty dumb scene where (and it's on the movie poster as well) a spider comes down from the ceiling and falls into Stone's mouth. You never find out why and has really nothing to do with the movie. This "Incbus" thing basically gets into peoples dreams and just messes with them the whole movie. Hilarious scene in the attic where Stone is running away from something in black yelling "boo" - I'm not kidding. Only other thing I remember is it had the bald-headed guy from the Motley Crue video "Smokin in the Boys Room" in it playing some mentally whacked-out (probably in-bred) Amish guy. I think I caught this movie on a regular channel in the mid-80s and have never seen or heard of it since.
Deadly Blessing / 1981
Oh man, where do I start with this one? Another one of those cheaply produced, horribly-written, even-worse acted early 80s "horror" flicks. And here's the kicker - it had long-haired, round-faced Sharon Stone and Earnest Borgnine (Mr. McHale's Navy) in it!!! Also had that actor who was in Motley Crue's "Smokin' In the Boys Room" video, quite possibly the most ugly and bizzare looking human being I've ever seen in person or on film. Just flat alien-looking. Also had one of the girls from "Eight is Enough" and the actress who was married to Don Henley of the Eagles in the 80s. Basically, three dumb chicks are living in this farm house out in the middle of nowhere (no explanation given, don't think they actually had jobs) and guess who lives just next door? Well, by golly your local Amish congregation, led by Mr. Borgnine himself. Anyway, the whole movie situates around this thing called the "Incubus" who likes to jump out of the floor like a tornado or something and just plain swallow people up. Ms. Henley's husband gets "Incubused" working in the barn right when the movie starts, so let the fun and stupid acting begin! Basically, the Amish folks don't take too kindly to the dumb chick neighbors and keep coming around to their door telling them to "beware the incubus", blah, blah, blah. When one of Mr. Borgnine's older sons takes just a second of interest in looking at one of the dumb chicks (while working) he's "cast out" as a "serpent" and proceeds to cuss-out the dumb blond chick as well for just standing there. Ugh! Of course later they both get "Incubused" while trying to get in on the dumb blond's 1968 Mustang one scene later. This thing takes something like 10 minutes to cut thru the cloth convertible top, when all they had to do for 10 stupid minutes was open the car door to get out! Finally, Sharon Stone gets hers in the end - some guy kept running around the house screaming - now get ready for this original line - "Boo" while chasing her and forcing a spider down her throat, whatever that was supposed to "mean". In the end, Ms. Henley is the only one left alive and the "Incubus" gets her as well. End of "story". Have never seen this "movie" on TV, cable, video store anywhere since it came out in '81. Only reason why I remember it was the girl I sat next to in the movie theatre I had met at - get this - an AIR SUPPLY concert the week before and we ran into each other again that night. Ran into her again two years later at a Colorado State University football game and ended up dating the first half of my freshman year in college!!!!
Deep Star Six / 1989
The only thing deep about this movie was the pile of s*** the viewers are forced to sit through. Greg Evigan plays a oceanographer (unbelieveably) who tries to rescue a crew of an underwater nuke base trapped by sea aliens. Other than the gory disembowelment scene, not really scary nor exciting. But any movie with an actress named Nancy Everhard can't be all bad.
Def-Con 4 / 1985
Cheesy special effects. No big star names. All about armaggedon-style life on earth caused by all out nuclear war.
Demons / 1984
Bad dubbing spoiled the film with some good special effects and hammy acting spawned another badly acted sequel. Awful film from a good director, Dario Argento.
The Devil'sGift-Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonder / 1982 or 1983
This was on "Mystery Science Theater 3000" yesterday morning, and it was SO ridiculous! Michael Andrews receives this unusual gift, a funky-looking, cymbal-banging monkey that has this evil gin and eyes, and has an evil little secret--he kills every time he bangs the cymbals! Michael's dad David tries to destroy the monkey, but Michael finds it and protects it. Soon, Merlin shows up and claims his monkey. This movie was so dumb, Mike and the robots bashed it in every way! (In a scene where David picks up the phone, one of the robots says "Hello, 70s house!") The kid, Michael, was wearing an ET shirt. God this movie was so dumb!!!
My best friend said I had to see it. When it came out on cable I finally saw it...and wanted to smother myself with a pillow to end the agony of being subjected to this crap movie. Supposedly it's every woman's dream to have some kind of dance-fantasy with a hot guy. I'd rather have a engaging conversation with a nerd, thank you very much. Not only did this movie drag on pointlessly (for what seemed like 3 or 4 hours...) it was completely unbelievable and predictable. Women still ask me "Don't you think Patrick Swayze was hot in that movie?!" Answer: NO!
Living with sisters that for some reason thought this movie was not only tolerable, but enjoyable, scarred me for life. When I hear, "Now I've, had " (from the beginning of one of the songs) I immediatly get sick and need to leave the room.
Dolls / 1986
It was just a bunch of little dolls that killed people at a hotel.........so dumb!
Doom Asylum / 1987
This movie by far has the worst acting ever. I've seen elementary school plays with better acting. There is no plot and I don't think a script ever existed either. If you want to waste an hour and a half of your life watching this you will definatly regress mentally. A MUST SEE!!
Cory Feldman and Corey Haim. Need I say more?
Dream to Believe / 1986
Also called: 'Teenage Dream' or 'Flying'. This movie has too much titles but it doesnt help at all because under any title, it's still stupid. It's the movie with Olivia De Abo as a gymnast who goes through life being abused by her father and classmates. But she is still determined to enter the competitions in spite of her stupid classmates (specifically two girls who delivered a very bland,cliched and bad performances) and carrot headed teacher who doesn't even have her own opinion in situations. Keannu Reeves is also there (which is bad news) as the boyfriend of Olivia. Cardboard characters and cliched performances throughout with forced and very fake inspirational message specially that one when she's ready to go to the last competition but is brought first to see the statue above the bridge by her two African-American friends. The soundtrack contains some very forgettable songs,maybe except one when she and Keanu are going to sleep together for the first time and while they're undressing each other theres this song in the background "for the first time". It's the funniest scene in that movie.
What in the hell was this movie about. I remember setting in the theater wondering what is the spice? Really bad. I had to read the 600 page book,which was confusing as hell, just to understand it.
Duran Duran: Arena / 1984
In this bizzare concert film/music video movie, the fab five performs in front of a live audience while fighting off mutant freaks in a "Mad Max"-type world! If you thought Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker" was bizzare, wait until you see this movie. Espically in the "Wild Boys" segement where there are a bunch half-naked dancers and Simon LeBon gets trapped in the windmill of doom!
E.T. / 1982
One of the most overrated films of the 1980's. As a kid, I thought the alien was creepy. Now as an adult, I find the movie to be boring & uninteresting. It reminds me of those cheesy kid & creature (dog, horse, orca, alien, etc.) flick that most people would fall asleep with. [Ed. note: This is one man's opinion, just like 80s films that most moviegoers thought were masterpieces (Breakfast Club, Goonies, etc.). Please don't kill the messenger (yours truly.)]
Who could ever have predicted that a movie with a cast including: Geena Davis, Jim Carrey, Jeff Goldblum, and Damon Wayans would ever be the stupidest movie known to man? Well, when you make Geena Davis lust after phony-looking aliens in pre-Power Ranger costumes. Yikes. This is a complete waste of time and I LOVE IT!
Eddie & The Cruisers / 1980
It didn't...
Oh shoot me please!! I had to watch this movie in 11th grade American Literature, when we were on a unit about prejudice and the Holocaust. Dennis Quaid crashes on a barren planet with an alien. They learn to co-exist, and then the alien gets pregnant, Quaid delivers the baby, and the alien dies. That's how his race exists: They're born, parent dies, they wander, get pregnant asexually, deliver baby, and die. Quaid is repulsed by this. I just really didn't like this film, it was very boring and took 5 days to watch. The acting was good, and I wrote an essay about it for class that I did well on, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. Don't let me stop you from seeing it though! not the worst, but not the best.
It had no plot! 4 college kids spend the night in an evil house and accidentally stumble onto a book made out of skin and a record player which plays the "Evil Dead" chant and turns all the kids into Evil Dead. There's this one stupid part where a girl gets attacked by a tree. That is not quality entertainment.
Combine the elements of "The Goonies" and "Space Camp" and you have the formula behind "The Explorers." Jeez, it was already done the same year--and better--in "The Goonies." A group of boys go on a space adventure after discovering a space ship, despite the fact that nobody believes there is a space ship, or aliens. The highlight of this film was River Phoenix. Just a rip-off. Don't lemme stop you from watching it.
Fake-Out / 1982
Hey, let's put Kojak and Pia Zadora in a Vegas spy thriller. Sounds like a good idea, right? Wrong!
Felix the Cat: The Movie / 1988
Like "Tom & Jerry: The Movie" (1992) & "Space Jam" (1996), this movie basically ruined a very well known '20's cartoon character named Felix the Cat. The silent cartoons had Felix going trough sorts of trouble, the 1930's version was resurrected as a Mickey Mouse clone who appeared in 3 fairly decent cartoons, and the '60's incarnation featured him with a magic bag of tricks. This movie featured a wussier version of him trying to save a princess with annoying musical numbers and ugly characters that looked like rejects from a White Zombie album cover. The movie was supposedly geared towards the '60's incarnation since it also featured Poindexter and the magic bag. The character was later brought back in the mid '90's in a semi decent cartoon "Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat", which thankfully none of the movie's characters appear in. I would reccomend classic cartoon fans & children the original silent cartoons and the three Van Bueren Felix the Cat cartoons instead, which are available on public domain DVDs, for those who're interested. Not to mention the '30's version had better animation than the late '80's/early '90's borefest. Another '80's cartoon movie that ruined another classic cartoon cat I would like to mention, but forgot the title, featurred Top Cat winding up in Beverly Hills and like most animated movies featured dumb songs and have to save somebody like a princess or somebody, which causes the character(s) to act out of place. One thing the irks me about these movies besides having characters out of place is that they have to throw in dumb 'Disnesque' musical numbers and some storyline that involves thae charcters going on some mission. Which I think is the main reason why "South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut' (1999) was done in that fashion, but in a good way. Except they didn't throw in any 'new characters' like the mouse/lizard creatures on the mentioned "Felix the Cat" movie nor Lola Bunny from "Space Jam".
The Fiendish Plot Of Fu-Manchu / 1980
In two words: not funny. Sadly, it was the last time we saw Peter Sellers. I guess the "fiendish" plot was to make a trailer featuring Dr. Fu (Sellers) impersonating Elvis so that people would waste their money. Apparently, it only worked for my parents.
IMO, one of the most overrated movies from the '80's. Besides the fact I can't stand Jamie Lee Curtis, the jokes were too dumb & the characters were too annoying. Especially Kevin Kine, who many critics consider a great actor of the latter part of the 20th century.
This highly overrated dance film about a 18-year-old exotic dancer/welder who aspires to be a ballerina sucks primarily cause it is catagorized in the "drama" genre but the storyline is far to unrealistic and simple to be put there. For one, the relationship between the girl and her boss just doesn't make any sense. When a wealthy business owner sees one of his employees dance in an low class club once, his initial interest in her will not be that he wants to have a relationship with her. If anything, it just would be that he wants to sleep with her and not let the whole world know. Instead he brings her to fancy restaurants where shows her tastelessness by literally dressing half naked and feeling him up under the table. Another unrealistic thing is the main point of the movie - her dreams as a dancer. For one, they had very little focus on this issue, which does not exactly show how important it is to her. Another thing is that her audition did not jump out to me as something that would make the supposedly conservative judges dance during work. Simply put, this movie sucks and does not deserve the fame it gets.
Wow! Talk about worst movie of the 80's! This movie stunk for the new 90's and beyond. Thin, very thin Kristy Swanson and her siblings are trapped in this house by good ole grandma. The kids decide they wanna leave. After watching this movie, I was hoping the director would be trapped with good ole grandma and see how he or she likes it.
Jeff Goldblum turns in to a giant fly. Need I say more?
It should've been called "Homosexual Spandex Pride Show". This movie was terrible! I survived through the 80's and I still don't know why there were so many dance movies in the 80's. It was just terrible. This movie definetly needs to be lost in the halls of time.
Forbidden World / 1982
I remember renting this because Siskel and Ebert slammed this film, and I thought it would at least be a camp classic. Turns out the movie was so gory and it stunk so badly that I wrote a note on the VHS box warning my father from viewing it. Basically, an "Alien" ripoff about a monster that wrecks havoc on the scientists occupying the planet Xarbia. The monster even looks like the "Alien" creature. Lowlights includes Penthouse's June Chadwick's skewering by tentacles and Jesse Vint throwing his hardened liver at the evil thing. Also known as "Mutant", so I'm warning ya'll in advance to be careful in viewing the film in either guise.
Forbidden Zone / 1980
The movie looks like a USC classroom movie project with the main character (the King) played by Herve Villechaize (Tatto from Fantasy Island TV show) and the music by Danny Elfman of Oingo Boingo fame. The director was Richard Elfman and the female lead played by Marie Elfman (a family? project). Music was by "the Oingo Boingo", sets were cheap cardboard painted in a DADA fashion. The female extras ran around topless. Male extras were B movie castoffs. Overall, everyone was a terrible actor. There was no real plot to the movie, but everyone did look half drunk and were enjoying their time on the set. If you are a fan of Oingo Boingo - this movie is for you. But for most people, this movie was a complete waste of time and money.
Friday the 13th (Any of the series) / 1982 and on
It wasn't bad enough to make one pointless slasher film about horny teens camp counselors, but more than eight movies? And they kept going and going and going...And why is it that kids kept going to Camp Crystal Lake? And why did they always find it necessary to have sex when they got there? And why did everyone always seem to doubt the existence of Jason after two, three, or even six years of mass murders? I can't even say that the movies were horribly predictable since there was never any story. It was just as bad watching it on the Spanish Channel. You don't have to hear English to know it sucks. And yet, somehow, after the many ways of killing Jason...he always finds a way to keep coming back? Just like Freddy Kruger and Mike Meyers. What's the point anymore? What was the point of the first one? Every single movie in the series sucks hardcore!
Friday the 13th (take your pick) / 1980 - Present
Although I've only seen the first (that's all I needed to see to know these movies were trash), about a bunch of idiots going to a camp to spend some time getting to sex each other up. But, lo and behold, we have a killer on the loose (oh no!). So one by one, these counselors are hacked to pieces 1 by 1 by some hockey-mask freak (giving a bad rap for NHL goalies everywhere). Need I say more about this film? I think I summed up all the films in a sentence or two. Come on people, how this became a cult hit is beyond me. Senseless gore with no ambition is like a book with no pages. And to top it all off, Jason takes over in the other films as the killer. (??? How did this happen?) Any film that glorifies extreme violence and gore had to have come from someone with a preverse pleasure for pain.
friday the 13th rules again / 1986
because first of all, there is no point in these movies. I mean theres all new teens in every movie then they all get killed except for a girl then she walks off or the cops come and escort her away then the next episode theres all new kids who make mistakes of bringing him back then its a rerun of what i just said before. And why is it that there is only a girl that survives and never a boy except in part 8 if they were gonna make these movies then they shouldve made them alot scarier cuz they motherfuckin sux DAMN IT!!! NEVER GET ANY OF THESES MOVIES EXCEPT 4 PART 8 CUZ THAT ONE IS ALRIGHT AND PART 9 ACTUALLY HAS A FUKIN SEX SCENE WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT WELLL ANYWYA THEY ALL SUCK
This lame sequel to Friday the 13th is awful in acting and story.Jason all of the sudden comes out of the lake and goes to the the girls house from part one and kills her, now what is that! How did he know were she lived? This time we have more annoying teens and I don't care if they live our die. This film was yet follwed by more awful sequels.Enough is enough!
It was Marines, not the Army.
First of all, it took place in the Vietnam War, not the Korean War. Second, Pyle blows his brain out because the other people in the squad were beating him because he was fat, not because he didn't get the war! Third, what war movie have you seen where there wasn't blood and gore??
I don't quite know where to begin? This was the poorest excuse for a movie I have ever seen in my entire life. Taking place during the Vietnam War it wasn't anything but blood and gore. Some fat guy kills himself because he can't get a handle on the war part. It was so gross that I had to get up and leave the room. That's how bad it was. :p
It was a long, boring epic about the Korean war. In one scene there's a guy that blows his brains out on the toilet seat because he feels that he isn't good enough to be in the United States Army. What is that anyways?
It's one of those horror films that wasn't intended to be funny. Also packed with cheesy acting, predictable scenes, and lame special effects, even for the early '80's. The only positive comment I can say that it's not gory like most slasher films of the time. But still a guilty pleasure to watch on Halloween.
This film was about a guy played by Chevy Chase and his wife going to take it easy in the country while he finished writing a book. This was the only time in the eighties that I actually wanted to walk out of the movie theater during the film. There were relentless attempts at humor, but only one broke through. When he ate the Bull jewels. The rest was really mundane and b-o-r-i-n-g!
G.I. Joe: The Movie / 1987
Take a really bad Commando Movie, fill it full of twists and turns, then add a Terrorist group that wants to commit a biological terror attack against the Earth and you get G.I. Joe: The Movie. A rather mediocre attempt from Hasbro to make a movie that doesn't stink. I'm sorry but what have the writers of G.I. Joe come to? A tiresome and predictable ending to what was otherwise an excellent show called G.I. Joe. Frankly I think everyone that was involved with this movie could have done a lot better than they did.
Garbage Pail Kids / 1986
Holy crap, what a stinker! The collective cards come to life in this steaming pile of monkey dung. They put the cheesiest looking masks on either kids or midgets and give them the ultimate power of clothes making. Not only that, but they sing and dance in a couple of numbers. They just shouldn't make movies of some things, and this is definitly one of them.
The Garbage Pail Kids Movie / 1987
As you stated for a couple of movies it was funny to me as a kid, but I recently made the mistake of buying it and it really sucked. It's wildly predictable and extremely cheesy.
The Garbage Pail Movie / 1987
Yuck! I thought the trading card series was terrible. Those kids make me sick! It's ripping off the Cabbage Patch Kids!!!!!!
The Gate / 1987
My brother, myself, and a family friend that I haven't seen in 8 years watched this movie together one night, and just found it so cool that this movie was on. Of course, we were about 10 years old at the time. A girl, her younger brother, and one of his friends, who looks like Paul from "The Wonder Years" (but it's not) are alone in the boy and girl's house at night. There was a tree dug up in their back yard, and strange happenings occur as a result of "the hole." It also involves little demons that hide under the bed and try to pull the unsuspecting kids under. The older girl throws a big party at night when the action starts--how typical is that of horror films? This movie may be harmless, but it really stinks. I saw this again 5 years ago, and I couldn't believe how bad it was!
Ghostbusters II / 1989
"Ghostbusters" was one of the best films of 1984--if not the entire decade--but its sequel was just plain awful. I was very surprised, too, because Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis wrote this film and Ivan Reitman directed. "Ghostbusters 2" was just one of the biggest mistakes made.
Cliche rip-off of Gremlins, ghoulies are similar monsters who terrorize people at a local circus/freak show. I think there was a bat, a rat, and some other ghoulie who came up through a toilet. Anyways, it was terrible. I even think it had a sequel!
A dumb movie featuring Sarah Jessica Parker (post "Square Pegs/pre "Sex & The City") as a teen who wants to be on a national teen dance show. Besides her bad acting, the whole plot is cheesy & could've been set as a two part episode of a sitcom like "Who's The Boss". Like a Valley Girl might say, "Gag Me With A Spoon!".
Gobots Battle of the Rocklords / 1986
Boy, where do I begin with this one? This was one of the single worst TV to movie adaptations of a cartoon I ever saw. At the time, I was almost 10. All I can say is that the H-B production studios must have shelled out big amounts of cash just for the privilege of having Margot Kidder, Telly Savalas, and Roddy McDowall voice characters in this stinker of a movie. The whole movie centers around a power mad Rocklord named Magmar, voiced by Telly Savalas, and his rouge bunch of misfit Rocklords conquering their home planet of Quardax one area at a time after which he would steal each sector ruler's power scepter. Wait it gets even more gruesome. After Magmar stole each sector ruler's power scepter he'd place them in a device called "the tumbler" which can send a rocklord ruler to his/her death within a matter of 10 seconds. The only Rocklord ruler that was a willing participant in MagmarāTMs schemes was the Fossil Lord. There are only 2 power scepters left and they're held by the only 2 remaining rocklord rulers still alive. Boulder, voiced by Michael Nouri, who gathered up the remaining sectors of Quardax to lead the rocklord freedom fighters, and Solitaire, voiced by Margot Kidder, who is the only remaining Jewellord left and others all of whom have remained hidden so that Magmar can't find them and wipe them out. The plot gets even more rediculous when Solitaire and Nuggit, voiced by Roddy McDowall, finally leave Quardax to find help. The unlikely pair finally find their way towards Gobotron where the Guardians find their ship coming into their air space. Here's the real kicker. The line that every good guy wants to hear a stranger in a strange world say: "we come in peace." Um okay so we know that Solitaire and Nuggit have come in the spirit of peace so I'm going to fast forward to what is probably the most rediculous point of this movie. Cy-Kill and the Renegades get wind of Magmar's plans to conquer Quardax and capture both Small Foot and Solitaire. I can understand why Cy-Kill, being one of the scummy bad guys with no intention of sharing the wealth with Magmar, wants to capture Solitaire and head towards Quardax, but taking Small Foot with him DUH! Why are Small Foot and the kids even unwilling participants with Cy-Kill and his plans? Then along the way Solitaire is spilling her guts about her people's weaknesses, strengths, and what Magmar's plans are for all of the Rocklord Ruler's power scepters. She even goes so far as to try and lie her way out telling Cy-Kill where Magmar is. Of course Cy-Kill laughs at Solitaire and tells her that she's not very convincing at lying to him. So the Leader-1, Turbo, and Scooter head with Nuggit towards Quardax and he introduces them to Boulder. At first Boulder seems skeptical that the Gobots can help them but they finally agree that if the freedom fighters are to survive Magmar's tyrany both sides have to agree to band together for a common cause. What a cliched way to go. Small Foot finally escapes, with the help of Nick and A.J., and proceed to steal a Renegade escape shuttle and then head to Quardax but not without causing complete and total chaos inside the Renegade ship before all three finally escape. This movie just keeps getting more and more rediculous as time progresses so I'm going to fast forward again. Finally the rocklord freedom fighters and their Guardian allies storm Stone Head and set Solitaire free but not without having Boulder make the mistake of raising his power scepter in the air in victory. This boneheaded move allows Magmar to steal his power scepter and put it in the wand's last slot but Magmar makes the mistake of letting Cy-Kill take the scepter first. Afterwhich Leader-1 and Cy-Kill go at it manno al manno until the wand starts to over take Cy-Kill and melt in his hand, well DUH what the fuck did he think was going to happen?, Leader-1 then flies up, with everyone looking on in horror. Leader-1 finally manages to shoot the ultimate power scepter out of Cy-Kill's hand but then it flies over top of Stone Head leaving only Magmar's battle axe behind. We hear Magmar's final line "we may not have the scepter but we still rule Stone Head." The final love fest occurs when Boulder and Solitaire thank Leader-1 and his crew for all of their help. (Insert sound of my gag reflex here.) The freedom fighters vow to rebuild Quardax as soon as Magmar is defeated perminently. Leader-1 tells them to call the Guardians if they need any help. Everyone says their goodbyes. Everyone is happy. Boy my gag reflexes are getting a work out here.
It was about time a "new" Godzilla movie came to the big screen in America. As a child I loved seeing the old ones from the 1960's on Sunday afternoon television in the 1970's, they were, and still are great. Japan in the 1980's was feared that they were pulling ahead of the USA in just about everything, this movie was probably going to be a capstone of sorts of their conquest of Hollywood in America. No way. Poorly dubbed English, a horrible plot, storyline, and acting. The movie even had Raymond Burr in it for that Hollywood Star appeal. His repetitive lines throughout the movie: "You can't stop Godzilla, no one can stop Godzilla!" It got old after the first time he said it. The only thing good about it was I felt that Japan would not be taking over the USA anytime soon, and I slept better at nights knowing this.
Going Overboard / 1989
This movie was terrible. The fact that writers got paid to make an atrocity like this gnaws at the soul of humanity like the screams of a 1000 dying children. [Ed's note: This movie featured a very young Adam Sandler and should not be confused with the Goldie Hawn movie "Overboard".]
Another overrated, overhyped trash heap from Stephen Spielberg. It started out okay, then it regressed into a too-cute kiddie film. Only for people who want proof that 2nd generation actors like Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, and Martha Plimpton can act as idiotic as their parents. And if that's not enough, Corey Feldman is in it, too.
It's a shame about this movie, and it was probably doomed from the start. It's a true story set in the Summer of 1816; poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, his lover Mary (Shelley), and their friend Claire have come to "hang out" with fellow poet Lord Byron and his personal physician John Polidori at Byron's Villa Diodati in Switzerland. After an evening of reading and tossing around poetic insults & theories, Lord Byron proposes a challenge to his friends: to write the ultimate ghost story...and predictably, chaos ensues when each finds him/herself coming face-to-face with their darkest fears. First of all, this film will only probably be of interest to those, like myself, who are avid fans of these particular poets...and those people will undoubtedly be pointing out the film's many flaws. This movie is so poorly executed that it'd be very easy to forget what & who it's actually about. The writers did a half-assed job researching the lives of the poets, the actors are embarrassingly miscast (which sucks, because I love Gabriel Byrne & Julian Sands; though Sands does make a cute, neurotic Shelley, Byrne is not at all suited for the role of Byron), and perhaps the greatest injustice is inflicted upon John Polidori, who in the movie is portrayed as an absolute nut ball. True, "Polly Dolly" (as Byron called him) had a few screws loose (he committed suicide at 26 years old) but was certainly not as unbelievably stupid, hyper, quirky, and irritating as the film would have its viewers believe. Natasha Richardson was actually a pretty good Mary, certainly the most convincing character in the film. Those who are just discovering the poetry & lives of Byron, Shelley, et al should read the best biographies available and leave watching the movie for later down the road when they, too, can easily point out all of the inconsistancies littered throughout it.
Grandview, USA / 1985
C. Thomas Howell (Who I love) hooks up with Jaimie Lee Curtis...Isn't that statuatory rape? Ughh, this movie lost all appeal for me when it reached the "Steely Man" dream sequence.
the movie was a rip off i felt the lack of goodness .this movie sucks!
The plot can be described by one word. Horrible! . It tries to give light to the audience like the original, but it failed.
I like Michelle Pfeiffer, but you can not top the first one. There will never be another Danny Zucko or Sandy. Maxwell Caulfield was one of the worst actors I have ever seen. When you have a movie that does as good as "Grease" did, You should never try to top it with a sequel. Rizzo and the Pink Ladies, Danny and the T-Birds and Kineckie are characters that can never be replaced or topped. Grease 2 was one of the worst movies ever, Paramount should have thrown it out when it came to them.
Horrible plot, music, and absolutely no redeemable qualities. This movie stinks.
Grease 2 and Staying Alive / 1982 and 1983
Lame music score and the worst songs from movie also Adrian Zmed as the lead T-bird and what was Christopher McDonald and Michelle Pheifer doing in this piece of garbage, which I admit is one of those guilty pleasures like Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze when it is on TNT or TBS and you can't help but to stop and watch it like a bad car accident. Also Staying Alive with John Travolta. Which the film speaks for itself with Stallone direcing it and it being a sequel to Saturday Night Fever. A disco sequel in the 80's after the "disco sucks" movement.
Grease II / 1982
This is the worst musical movie that I ever seen. I really like the musicals, but this is make me feel ashamed.
Okay, anyone who thinks a small furball that multiplies by water is good, should go and watch 'creature' or 'demons'. Gizmo looked like a wierd dog puppet that came out of a messed up sesame street, and the monsters who fell in the water where just plain stupid. All in all, I got bored half way through and the 'dont feed them after midnight' concept is just been done to many times. Cliched, and the acting is bad. In one scene, you can see the girlfriend's eyes moving back and forth as if she was reading her script. How sad it that?
Gung Ho!! / 1986
This was a movie starring Michael Keaton where his character is involved in the Japanese automobile industry. It was just a STUPID MOVIE!! I remember a friend of mine going to see it with me and we said it was so bad, it would be out on video in a week.
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch / 1982
The first two Halloween movies we great but then they throw this sequel in and it completely takes away from the other two films. Instead of the traditonal Michael Myers stalking Jaime Lee Curtis, this movie is about some kids with these Halloween masks that they can`t take off. This movie just all out sucked.
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch / 198?
After the first two Halloween movies which were pretty darn good, the producer of the series decided to cash in on the name. What resulted from this was a movie about this Halloween mask producing company that is owned by some druid guy. This company makes masks that, when worn while watching a certain TV commercial, turns the heads of the kids that are wearing the masks into bugs, slime, or just nothing. No Micheal, no plot, no good actors, no watching.
Hamburger...The Motion Picture / 1986
A stupid movie with a ridiculous plot. The only thing that kept it going were the fraternity pranks.
Hardbodies/Hardbodies 2 / 1984, 1986
Hardbodies: One of those really bad beach movies that people liked to watch over and over again on cable. Bad acting, bad lines, bad everything. The only "redeemeing" quality is the sex scenes, four which happen at the same time. Hardbodies 2: The sequel just wasn't funny, and had nothing to do with Part 1 other than the old character Ash. Apparently, it was about making a movie about the main character in Part 1. And to make it worse, there were fewer "Hardbodies" (slang for "hot women") it this stinker.
The Haunting of McClintock Mansion / 1989
Oh man, this movie is set up where these, I think, 5 or maybe 6 kids unconciously hide out in some haunted house. So you've always gotta have the troublemakers right? Well before they make it to the house, these two "Bad Boys" of the film, go into a conviences store while the other 3 or 4 are pumping gas. They "accidently" shoot the clerk after trying to steal some money, some cops of course pull up while they're trying to make a getaway and thus they are on the lam!! They pull up the driveway of some spooky house in the middle of nowhere (obviously so no one can hear them scream HAHA) and basically get picked off one by one by an evil spirit. The two teens (a guy and girl who've been hot for each other the entire movie) of course make it and destroy the evil that lurked in the house. *SNORE*. I said it once and I'll say it again... if you saw any of those other "rip offs of the Exorcist-possession of evil spirits-the devil is in haunting my home" flicks, then there's no need to see this one. The only reason I did is because my friend (whom, without need of an explanation) cannot choose movies to rent, and forced me to watch it with her. I've never forgiven her for that night.
He-Man / 1987
If you want to see He-Man in all of his glory, your best bet is to try and find the cartoons on video. Whatever you do DON'T rent this movie because it's not the same as the cartoons. It's, hands down, one of the WORST movies that I ever saw in my entire 23 years of life. If I'm inclined to say so: it's the single biggest waste of film since my 2nd grade pictures
Heartbreak Ridge / 1986
Highly unlikely that two Army Korean War vets would be in the Marine Corps thirty years later, especially considering that promotions are so much slower in the Marines. Clint Eastwood as an E-7 gunnery sergeant? Too old. A Marine recon unit carrying on with so little discipline and respect for superiors? Is this movie had been meant to be a farce or comedy, it might have been quasi-watchable. I rank it down there with Boys of Company C and Siege of Fire Base Gloria. (At least Gloria had some fun lines in its script.)
The movie was absolutely fantastic! *awkward pause* But only if watched at 5 in the morning under the influence of 2 pitchers of Kool-Aid and 4 times the necessary amount of sugar.
The genere is supposed to be comedy but its like drama or something. There's no point in the movie and it sucks. Almost all the main characters die and the only main character left at the end is Winona Ryder.
It was a rip-off of Flashdance. An aerobic club is going to shut down unless they win a square off at exercising. Horrible Aerobic Musical.
Hell Comes To Frogtown! / 198?
Okay this is a bad sci-fi movie trying to cash in on the "celebrity" of pro wrassler Rowdy Roddy Piper. I can't remember much of it, must be a mental block or something. What I DO remember is some of the worst acting I've seen, yes even worse than ON the wrassling shows! This movie is a regular on USA's Up All Night
Why did it stink, you ask? One word, LINDA BLAIR. Let's just face it,the poor girl never did have talent as an actor. Even playing the demon in the "Exorcist" she still couldn't act!
Hercules / 1983
I don't really remember much about this movie-- to date, it's the only movie I've ever slept through. I went to see it during a summer matinee (remember when your folks would drop you off at the mall all day??). I saw it a few weeks back on a MST3K rerun, and laughed my a$$ off!!
Hobgoblins / 1987
I saw this movie on "Mystery Science Theater 3000" and quickly knew why it was there. Even though all the movies on that show are pitiful, "Hobgoblins" takes the cake. It is poorly acted and thought out, and its premise really is unnecessary. The old-man janitor blows up the things at the end, a perfect ending to the perfect movie. Looking at it rationally, it is something he could have just done 30 years ago, or here's a thought: maybe just at the beginning of the movie!
Hollywood Hot Tubs / !984
My dad, a retired Army Sargeant, pushed me to see this with him at the post theater, then he pushed me to leave this film before it ended. (And I don't leave any movie, no matter how rancid.) That's how awful this horrible Z-grade "comedy" was. Hardly any sex or nudity, and even fewer laughs. Should have gotten a clue from the credits: Edy Williams, Jewel Sheppard, and Chuck Vincent, a soft-core porno director who's films included "C.O.D.", "Games Women Play" and "Hot T-Shirts".
Homework / 1982
Joan Collins as a Mom seducing her sons friends. Stupid and boring!!!
Horror Planet / 1981
If a bunch of British or American actresses being raped and multilated by aliens is your cup of pee, then this is the movie for you. I'd never thought that a British Sci-Fi pic with Stephanie Beacham, Victoria Tennant, Jennifer Ashley, and Judy Geeson would be this horrible; but it is. Beacham's death scene is especially degrading and tasteless. There are men in this film, too, but they barely register on the screen. Avoid "Horror Planet" and any film called "Inseminoid". They are one in the same movie.
House of Death / 1981
The acting, by a bunch of unknowns, was horrible! The pace was deadly slow and the whole thing was dull, with little gore! It had to do with teenagers getting killed at an old house! Well nothing happens until the last few minutes of the film! Stay away from this one! One of the worst slashers of the 80s! Oh my gosh!
You have to see this one to believe how bad it was. Steven Speilberg should be ashamed to have this on his resume. [Ed.'s note: Spielberg had nothing to do with this. George Lucas (Star Wars) was executive producer.]
Do I really have to tell you why this movies sucks. Although, almost every man I meet seems to love it, but every girl who`s seen it said, It was like George Lucas, while celebrating his Star Wars success took a bad acid trip and wrote this movie.
Lea Thompson wants to have sex with a Duck. Need I say more?
Humongous / 1982
As in a "humongous" pile of...(well you get the picture). This probably would have been a scarier movie---if anyone could have seen an actual movie under the haze and darkness of the screen. The plot concerns a creature on an island which resulted from a woman being raped at a cocktail party. The bad dialogue and awful FX would turn anyone into a maniac monster.
Okay, I admit that the movie had a erotic scene in it. But this movie was not only bad, but very boring. David Bowie looked like a albino freak instead of a vampire. Is it just me or did the 80's made some bad horror movies?
The Hungry Mist / 1982
Embarrassing 'thriller' about a mysterious fog that is putting residents of a seaside town into deep sleeps. It will have the same effect on unsuspecting viewers. With Donald Pleasence, Louise Flecther and Trish Van DeVere. Not available on video but can be seen on late night TV.
hunk / 1986
cheezy, typical story of geek to sheek film that you can't even find on USA Up All Night- even if that was still on the air?!
I Was A Teenage Zombie / 1987
This could qualify as one of the worst movies of all time. It gives cult classic movies a terrible name. You have to watch this movie to understand how horrible it actually is. God help you if you decide to though.
This movie would have been better...correction, because Lily Tomlin was in it, this movie should have been better. This film was a crazy knock-off of films where people shrink down to nothing. Tomlin's talents are wasted as the housewife who shrinks after being exposed to chemicals in her daily life. It was also a look at the crazy world of commercialism, hocking fake products, like Sexpot Perfume, Galaxy Glue, and other strange and unusual things. Also, the best characters Tomlin plays, like Ernestine and Judy Beasley make it somewhat worthwhile to view. I don't really recommend seeing this, unless you're a huge Lily Tomlin fan, like I am. It rarely airs on TV, but if you're lucky, it'll be on in an edited version on TNT. Your best bet is to check the 5-night rental rack at your local video store. But, please take my advice, you'll have to be VERY desparate to see this.
I'm sorry, there was nothing incredible about this film. I really only watched it because I am a Lily Tomlin fan, and this was AWFUL!! Mostly, it was a send-up of commercialism in the US. It was also about a woman who shrinks when exposed to everyday elements, hence the title. The specal effects are a little pathetic, and the costuming is a little bizarre, and the acting left something to be desired. The only cool things were Tomlin shrinking and Tomlin as the main character AND Judith Beasley AND Ernestine. Otherwise, this is a real stinker. It rarely shows on TV, and I could see why. However, I taped this off of TNT last year. I don't know where my tape is, but I refuse to watch it if I find the tape. Truly awful film. Sorry I bashed it, even though I'm a Tomlin fan.
The Incubus / 1981
More like "The Ick-ubus". A teenager dreams of young women being brutally murdered by an unknown creature. Guess what happens next? You probably should have known how this was going to turn out when John Cassavetes was cast as the "hero". The climax somehow would fit better with a Heinz ketchup commercial.
Bad? Yes it was. Cheesy? Of course. Usually I don't mind, as a big of the Sleepaway Camp trilogy if you know what I mean. It's just this film was directed by Tobe Hooper who brought us The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poltergeist. Whatever happened? I don't know. Maybe I should watch it a second time. If you like cheesy horror films I suggest you watch Slaughter High (It's bad I know but at least it's entertaining!)instead of wasting money and time with Invaders from Mars. I usually don't say it out loud, but it definitely sucks!
Invasion USA / 1985
A laughable Chuck Norris film. The inconsistencies are endless. I wish I had the time to list them.
Hands down, one of the biggest flops of the decade. A confused plot, poor acting, and big star power are a really poor mix of ingrediants. The whole thing just drags on. I've never seen people leave a theater before shouting "This sucks" until I had seen this (and yes, I was one of a dozen people who saw it in a theater). This was the Yugo of the 80s movie scene.
The question is not why it stunk, but why would any producer green light such a horrible film? Kevin Kline plays a burned-out detective who comes out of retirement when a serial killer of the film's title strikes on New Year's Eve after a long hiatus. Described in Imdb as a comedy, mystery, thriller and crime-drama, but I didn't find any laughs, wasn't thrilled, and the ending certainly wasn't mysterious enough. 1 out of 4 ain't too bad.
Jaws - The Revenge / 1987
This has to be one of the most ill-conceived film ventures of all time. The plot is absurd beyond description: a shark goes out for revenge against the family which killed off its relatives! Even worse than that is the ending. How long can a man stay under water after being attacked by a shark and live? Several minutes, apparently.
Oh man this movie really STINKS! Frist of all its not even a jaws movie. Its just a whole buch of stupid special effects over and over. The mother shark looks so fake that it look like someone made clay out of it and moved it around the tv screen! and a retarded monkey can write a better plot than this! The point to the story was that there was no point! That's how bad the plot was. And just when I thought the movie can't get any worse, near the end of the movie, everybody inside the underwater coreroom sees the mother shark coming towards the glass screen. Instant of getting the hell out of there, all they do is stay there and start yelling like a buch of overgrown kids. U can also tell that the people who made this movie were lazy because at the end of the movie, u see two dolphins jump out the water. However, they are not real dolphins! There's so many flaws in this movie that it should be called Jaws Sucks!
Jaws 3 (a.k.a. Jaws 3D) / 1983
This movie starred a cast of very young actors. Dennis Quaid played Mike Brody, Bess Armstrong played Mike's girlfriend, and Lea Thompson starred as Kelly Ann Bukowski. The movie is about the Great White Shark getting into a closed-in Sea World Park which features an Undersea Kingdom. The shark has a baby. That doesn't seem important now but it will be later. Now, the acting was mediocre, and the plot overall really sucked. A guy who was working on the gates through which the shark came gets killed by the shark and now Mike and his girlfriend are looking to see if they can find his body. They don't find his body, but they do discover a young great white, which attacks them. Instead of killing it, they take it and put it in captivity for the park. It dies. The park relies on gigantic pumps for fresh seawater and one of the pumps, which was the one that was being used, has an obstruction in it. The pump is turned off and the other pump is turned on in its place. The obstruction was the mother of the baby great white. It goes loose, attacks the Undersea Kingdom, and people get trapped inbetween watertight doors which close automatically when the Undersea Kingdom looses pressure. If they don't close then the entire complex would be lost. Mike has to construct a patch to fix the leak, while some guys try and lure the great white into a holding area so that the waters would be safe for the guys repatching the undersea kingdom. The guy who was luring the shark in was tied to a rope or a lifeline so that he could easily stay ahead of the shark. the lifeline breaks, and the rest is history. Well, to cut a long story short, the people get free and once you see the people leaving the undersea kingdom, there's a scene in the main control room. everybody, Mike, his girl, Calvin Buchard (the boss), and two other people are looking out the window at the incoming shark. How random and unnessecary was this scene? Whats worse. the way they kill the shark is stupid. The guy who was luring the shark into the holding area is still in the sharks mouth, but he's dead. He is holding a grenade. Mike takes a metal rod and bends an end of it and uses it to pull the pin. The plot was pathetic, the main characters were played by young actors though. The shark looked fake...of course. but even worse, whenever the shark would approach, it would open its mouth, bearing its teeth, and if you actually have the courage to go back and watch the movie, you would hear it roaring. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Sharks do not roar. I got nothing left to say, I'm disgusted.
I was born the year this movie came out so I obviously did not go to see it in the theaters. But lately I've been hitting sort of a Movie Renaissance and have been purchasing movies from the '70s and '80s, etc. like the Jaws series and the Back to the Future Trilogy. Well, recently I decided to watch Jaws: The Revenge on DVD. This was my first time viewing the movie and let me say this, not once in my life has my intelligence ever been more insulted when that movie was over. I was glad it was over even. Thankfully the pain only lasted for about an hour and a half. The general idea of this film is that a shark is following the Brody family with fatal intentions. The movie opens in Amity just before Christmas. Sean, who is a part of the Amity Police Department, goes out on his boat to move an old dock piling that is stuck on a channel marker. When Sean bends over to put the rope on it and tow it out, the shark attacks and bites off his arm. I have never seen anything more fake. Then, Sean proceeds to sit there and scream in pain yelling, "HELP ME, HELP ME, HELP ME!" while his boat is beginning to sink. I asked myself, "Why doesn't he just get the f*** outa there?" Well anyway, the shark attacks again and ultimately, Sean dies. WOW! The movie is starting off pretty bad. Well, anyway, distraught and dejected over the loss of her son, Ellen Brody (Lorraine Gary) escapes to the Bahamas with her other son Michael (Lance Guest), his wife Carla, and their little 5 yr. old daughter Thea (Judith Barsi). Thea is probably the only good part of the movie because she's adorable and the only character who is not expected to display real maturity. Anyway, Michael is researching conchs to try and get a PhD. I thought he was an engineer in the previous movie. Anyway, he is researching conchs with a friend of his named Jake (Mario Van Peebles). This duo presents some of the worst acting in the movie. Jake's Caribbean accent, which I think is pretty fake, gets on my nerves for one thing. Lance Guest was like a zombie playing Michael. There was hardly a time when he smiled or showed any real convincing emotion. Now, onto the shark. What can I say. THE DAMN THING LOOKED SO FAKE!!! In the first three Jaws movies, they actually used real video footage of sharks. In Jaws: The Revenge, the only shark you see is the big fake piece of s*** shark floating about with its mout wide open constantly, unlike what real sharks do. Plus, the idea that a shark would actually swim thousands of miles down a coastline in pursuit of a couple of individuals. SHARKS DO NOT, NOR DO THE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO SEEK REVENGE. Oh, not to mention, this movie must have been an all-time low in the career of Michael Caine, who played a care-free airplane pilot named Hoagie. There's just so much wrong with this movie I can't mention it all. If someone else has seen this movie and can remember a detail of why this movie sucks that I have not mentioned, please do so.
John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness / 1987
This was definately the most un-scary film of the 80's. A puff of liquid or smoke inside a tube is supposed to be the son of Satan????? The no-star cast (with the exception of Donald Pleasance) does this movie no service.
John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness / 1987
The only highlight of this movie was seeing singer Alice Cooper (Leader of the group surrounding the building) on the big screen.
I don't actually know why this movie was as lousy as it was - with Anthony Michael Hall, Robert Downey Jr and Uma Thurman, you'd think it would be pretty good, but it's an absolute shocker that I only own because I picked it up for $5 and hadn't actually already seen it. It's basically a football movie (how exciting) where you get to watch how big headed Anthony Michael Hall's character can become! Throw in a really bad strip scene, extremely unlikeable and unbelieveable characters and the most wooden acting ever and it's just awful. Really makes you wonder what these three actors were thinking of when they agreed to star in this piece of crap.
Joysticks / 1983
This movie sucks so bad it rocks. Nerds, Arcade Games, and plenty of shameless T & A. Self explanitory.
Just One Of The Boys / 1985
This one is about a high school girl who masquerades as a boy so that this guy she has a crush on will talk to her. The acting is awkward and the whole concept was overdrawn and just plain cheesy. One thing I did like was the clothing.
This movie was boring. It was about a girl who poses as a guy to get her story published in a newspaper. Then she fall in love with the guy who she does the story about. It was a pretty dumb movie.
The Karate Kid Part 3 / 1989
The first one was so great that it is a movie that never gets boring. The second was just as good but the fight wasn't. The third film was just a retelling of the first with an incredibly bad final fight. You leave feeling as if you have just seen the first one with a different title
Thirty-something year old Ralph Macchio reprises his role as Daniel LaRusso in this wet as bag sequel in which he defends his title against the new heavy. But Mr. Myagai (Pat Morita) refuses to train him and recuits Vietnam vet turned evil millionaire named Terry (Thomas Ian Griffith) as his trainer. Predictable from start to finish. Basically a remake of 1984 classic without the heart and passion that made the orignal unforgetable. This movie on the other hand is forgetable and unforgivable!
Basically a revenge movie that's a combination of "The Karate Kid" meet any cliche' action flick. Not to mention this cheesy slugfest starred Jean Claude VanDamme. Enough said.
Killer Clowns From Outer Space / 198?
This movie was supposed to be a horror flick, but was so bad it's hysterical! Not sure of exactly when it came out, but sometime in 80s I think.
Killer Workout / 1987
It was the funniest movie I think I've ever seen and it's a horror movie. Everyone gets killed with a safety pin. What more can I say?
Let's put it this way: there were only five people at the theatre. Myself, my mother, sister and cousins. My cousins and I kept trying to sneak out. The plot was something to the affect of Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton of Terminator fame) gave Kong a heart transplant(?). He lives meets a female Kong; they have a little Kong and the military kills Kong. If you watch this movie closely, you can truly see why this movie stunk: It was shot out of focus.
Knights of The City / 1986
This movie is my favorite B movie by the way. Adult males in their early to mid 30's still in street gangs fighting over turf. The Royal Rockers led by "Troy"(Leon Isaac Kennedy) are in constant scuffles with rival gang Carlos and the Mechanics. Troy loses his girlfriend to Carlos so he decides the best way to prove his worth is to learn dance moves. These moves are taught by a guy named flash who takes Troy all the way to the top. Only to have to face Carlos and the Mechanics one last time for final victory.
A cult classic filled with bad acting and a cheesy story line. The only purpose of watching this film is the cameos of many great hip hop legends like Run DMC, Kurtis Blow, The Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, etc. And the great soundtrack for fans of old school hip hop or popular music in general. At least it's much better than "Disorerlies", a comedy featuring The Fat Boys, who also appear in this film, & "Tougher Than Leather", a drama with Run DMC.
Aside from being a Jum Henson production & having legendary musician David Bowie, this movie is a snooze fest & Bowie's outfit looks plain stupid, even by '80's standards. Not to mention the intoduction of Jennifer Connelly, who's IMO one of the worst/overrated actresses of all time. Plus, the songs are so bad that it makes "De Lovely" (the current movie about Cole Porter starring Kevin Kline) look cool. (Though I strongly loathe musicals.)
This is a perfect example of a film that was ruined by bad music and bad casting. As I watched the film, I wanted it to be good so much that the synth rock and Matthew Broderick's cheeseball acting made me squirm in embarrassment. Rutger Hauer plays well in his type, Michelle Pfeiffer is hot as a boiling pot, and John Wood is creepy as all get out. But sweet God, that music and Matthew Broderick suck.
Actually, this movie wasn't bad. But it was a really cheesy low budget movie. I mean this movie was straight up awful. The first scene when the all was snorting artifical sweetener instead of cocaine. All this movie was about a guy who was in love with his best friend girl and at the end he didn't get her.
I cant believe Im the first person to list this worthless turd on here. This is a movie about a black kid named leroy (as in bruce lee-roy...ugh) and goes on a quest to find the "Glow"...a mystical power where if you master it you actually glow and cant be defeated. The worst acting...the worst script...the worst writing. How the hell this ever got made is a mystery. I mean it has vanity in it...that alone should be enough of a warning that its going to suck. They even have the nerve to show clips from old bruce lee movies in it as if its an homage...its actually a freakin discrace. This movie sucks on so many levels its disturbing. Avoid this waste of time unless you plan on sticking your head in the microwave right after its over.
When this movie came out, I was fifteen years old. It was good when I first saw it. I recently bought it on DVD, and this movie was cheesy and just plain stupid. The acting was bad. It can't believe that this movie is a cult classic.
Tom Cruise at the beginning of his career in a role that pins him against the devil because the devil has killed the last unicorn and taken it's horn. That's right. There was no typo in there. That's what the movie was really about. It just doesn't get much worst than that folks. Tom Cruise is forced to go in to the depths of hell and rescue his girl from the Devil before she is forced to wed him. Why bother? This movie just keeps circling it's way around and it leaves you waiting for the moment that it's finally flushed down the damn toilet. Definetly a movie that would make Tom Cruise cry for having starred in. Next time anyone out there sees him tell him how much you loved him in Legend and see what kind of reaction you get.
The Legend Of Billie Jean / 1985
This movie was about a modern day Joan of Arc. This movie was awful from being to end.
Leonard Part 6 / 198?
Bill Cosby chasing the bad guys on the back of an osterige. Need I say more?
Leonard Part VI / 1987
Poor Bill Cosby! What a terrible movie - my brother and I saw it in the theater one afternoon. All I remember (besides thinking it was terrible) was an outrageous scene where Bill wards off evil, predatory lobsters using BUTTER.
This was based on a really great book that I read as a teenager, and when it came out I was so excited. But wouldn't you know it? The infamous Andrew McCarthy and Jamie Gertz (a winning combo), along with a young Robert Downey Jr. star in this piece of crap. LA teens on drugs? Drugs ruining Robert Downey Jr.'s life (hmmm...). The movie lost all of the flavor and genius of the novel by Bret Easton Ellis, and the only good thing about it is 'Hazy Shade of Winter' by The Bangles.
Leviatan / 198?
Typical 80's horror theme plot. Bad acting and even worst cast
License To Drive / 1988
Whenever I come within an inch of this movie in ANY form(VHS,HBO,etc.), I have these horrible flashbacks of being subjected to the damn thing for weeks on end when my sisters chipped in and got it on video!!!! All because they were MADLY in love with future burnout has-beens Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. Not even the sight of future Hollywood IT girl Heather Graham as the cliche'd love interest who comes between them can save this washout teen stinker. I hated it 15 years ago-and I hate it now.
License to Drive / 1988
Ok, so I saw this film in September 2001, and assumed that it would be as good as "Dream a Little Dream" was (I've seen it 4 times!). While it wasn't the worst film I've seen, it certainly wasn't the greatest. Corey Haim plays a dorky 16 year old who goes to take his driver's test, but fails the written part. He gets so mad he accidentally pulls the plug out of the wall, causing all the computers to fail, so his score wouldn't be saved. His sister passes hers, so the DMV allows him to go when they can't find his score. He passes the road test perfectly, and when he goes to have his picture taken, he is informed that they found his score, and FAILED!!! LOL. His goal was to be licensed so he could take his dream girl, Mercedes (a very young Heather Grahmn) on a date. Oh well, tough luck. So, he steals his grandpa's 1973 Cadillac and joyrides. Corey Feldman plays his buddy, and he is such a dork in every scene. The ending was moronic, and the highlight was the dancable Billy Ocean tune "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car." Yuck, I lost some respect for Corey Feldman after seeing this film (I had alot of respect for him in "The Goonies.") Not the best, but certainly not the worst. Just bad.
Michael J. Fox and Joan Jett play brother and sister in this terrible excuse for a movie. Two kids trying to "make it" in the music industry, enter alcholic mother and depressing family life, add plenty of hairspray and leather pants, you've got this movie.
Actually, I love this movie, but it's really bad. Basically, Anne Carlisle plays both a sneering male and a beautiful bisexual model who is being followed by tiny aliens (their ship is the size of a dinner plate) who must survive from the chemicals produced in the brain when we use heroin or have an orgasm (the latter happens more often). Hence, Carlisle has sex with lots of people, and they all either die or disappear as as soon as they climax. I should also mention that the whole soundtrack is a horrible screeching techno score.
A gigantic, plastic, smartass talking venus fly trap with any annoying voice eats people...COME ON! Rick Moranis is a MORON!
It was sooooo, FAKE. And Timothy Dalton was a terrible James Bond.
Loose Screws / 1985
From the opening scene that showed the high school as "Beaver High" I knew this movie was going to be bad. Although it starts off with some hint of a plot, all is lost about 15 minutes into the movie. My friend told me we had to watch the movie because it was so bad. It does have to be seen to be believed that something like this could be made.
The premise was dumb, a single mother & her 2 teenage sons move to a small town which just happens to be swarming with vampires. No one in the town seems to notice, though people keep ending up dead. With Keiffer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Jason Patrick, and Cory Haim. Plus Cory Feldman as a vampire hunter. This movie totally sucked, however if you see it on USA or FX you might want to sneak a peek at the great special effects. NOT!
Well this movie tried to be funny, it didn't work. It tried to be dramatic, and it still did not work. This is a classic example of an 80s movie starring an actor (Patrick Dempsey) that some Hollywood studio is trying to give a sweetheart image too. But alas, this does not work, and the only image that the viewer gets is off a teenage gigallo who is sleeping around with women to be with his girlfriend. Nobody should waste the hour and fourty-five minutes to see this! Nobody!
The McDonaalds scene. There is a group of football players all doing the same dance in McDonalds. It is sooo cheesy that I can't help watching it over and over.
A unmanned craft is sent from Earth to an unnamed planet. While it's sucking rocks and dust, it sucks up Mac and his family. They are transported to Earth, they escape NASA headquarters, and Mac gets seperated from his family. Then he runs into a kid who is in no way frightened by this alien. The kid has to help Mac get back to his family. Gee, this sort of reminds of another movie made a year or two earlier, what was its name?
Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome / 1985
Horrible!!! How can a movie with Mel Gibson and Tina Turner possibly be good!? The whole concept of the movie is just terrible. Mel Gibson needs to take his name off of the movie. Don't even get me started about Tina. In what world would Tina Turner be the ruler?? These concepts are just off the wall. Ike should have beat some common sense in to her so that she would've known better than to star in this joke of a film.
Here's the plot, a princess from ancient Egypt is reincarnated as a mannequin and turns up in a viva-commercialism! Department store. She falls in love with a an unlikeable idiot hero who rides a putt-putt and uses words like "hot" and "steaming". Although it pretty much stank, the final scene, in which man and mannequin are married in a store window is for me, the definitive Me generation image.
Do I need to explain why it sucked? I used to like this movie back then because I was such a He-Man fan back in the day. But now I found this movie insulting because it didn't have all the characters from the orignal cartoon it's based on (Where's Orko, Cringer/Battlecat, Ram-Man, Merman, Faker, not to mention He-Man's alter-ego Prince Adam). The plot is "cringe" inducing (He-Man and his masters of the universe are transported to late 1980s Earth give me a friggin' break!) It may not be the worst movie ever made (it had some good action scenes and Frank Lagella as Skeletor) but it could one of the biggest dissapointments of all-time! If you wanna watch a good He-Man movie, go rent (or buy) "The Secret of the Sword" with the debut of He-Man's long lost sister She-Ra. This movie doesn't have the power!!
This movie has vehicles coming to life after Earth passes through the tail of a comet. It's up to Emilio Estevez and his gang to destroy the machines and save mankind. It's just too cheesy. Even the soundtrack by AC/DC can't save this one. For diehard Estevez fans only. This was horror author Stephen King's directorial debut. Since then, he has not directed any more movies.
Maximum Overdrive / 1986
What can I say about this monstrosity of a film that hasn't already been said about a heaping pile of feces? For starters, trucks become possessed and start killing everyone by running them over. There's a catch though, they need fuel to keep going. So what does our terrible ensemble of a cast do? They decide to leave the safety of their gas station house to go outside and refuel the trucks. Need I say more? How stupid can you be? Terrible plot, terrible acting and a downright terrible movie. It just doesn't get any worst than this. For those of you thinking about getting a hold of this movie and watching it for yourselves, save yourself the 9.99 that Amazon is charging and spend the money on a gallon of Ex-Lax. Trust me, you'll be thanking me when you're sitting on the toilet and not being subjected to this terrible excuse of a movie.
Has some good moments, mainly because I think John Mengatti ("Flash") is a babe, but besides that, it's about kids at a summer camp, Camp Sasquatch, which has this big rival thing going on with the camp across the lake, Camp Patton. At the end, there's a big boxing match between Flash and this huge, half man-half beast thing for "Champ of the Lake". Flash is knocked out by Camp Patton kids prior to the fight, and wakes up at Camp Patton and is forced to wear a dress to the fight, borrowed from one of the transvestite counselors, because he had been skinny-dipping the night before. There's also a nauseatingly stupid part with an alien with Jewish parents who attends camp and makes freinds with the kids in Flash' cabin and winds up helping Flash win the fight by giving him the power to fly.... If I sound like I'm scatter-brained, that's definately what you'll feel like after watching this "classic" trashy eighties movie!
Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence / 1983
Boring dialogue, dull scenes and a carisma deficient cast equals a movie worth walking out on. And to think I chose to see this over Silkwood.
Metalstorm 3D / 1984?
Bad storyline, Timmy-the-Kilowatt, and cheap-cheesy special FX.
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker / 1988
As a fan of Michael it's killing me to make this submission. Michael has a special place in my heart but the movie dosen't cut the mustard. They have some good parts like when Katie is running to Michael and he embraces her in his arms like she's his little girl.(I love their father and daughter like relationship) Or The SEXY ending number Come Together. It shows his creativity and how he can still be a child at heart(speed demon,or his friendship with the children.)and how he can still be a responsible adult at the same time.(Him being determined to save and protect the children.)(Particularly Katie.) The story line is pretty good but a bit unusual.I adore Michael. He's a great man but the movie could have used a few quirks. Please forgive me Michael I still love you. By the way, Michael can I borrow your lucky star? Hee Hee!
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker / 1988
I actually agree with the other poster. As a fan of Michael Jackson, mostly from the '80's, it has some good clips like the "Speed Demon" & "Leave Me Alone", which I still enjoy. I also agree that "Badder" is now creepy, but 'Smooth Criminal' also featurred children, including a young Sean Lennon, and started out with Michael playing in the field with them, which is why I prefer the short version that aired on MTV instead. And a better music video-type movie I love is "Heavy Metal", which is like rock version of "Fantasia".
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker / 1988
In this puzzled music video-type movie, Michael gets to be both a bunny running from the fans and press ("Speed Demon") and a wizard who turns into a rocket powered car, robot, and a spaceship thanks to a shooting star. ("Smooth Criminal") It's a type of movie that either people will love or hate the movie. For myself, it's a mixed bag although I find that both the "Speed Demon" and the "Smooth Criminal" segments are very amazing in their time (weirdly it's still is!) but the egotistical "Man in the Mirror" segement where Michael thinks he's god to these rabid fans, the now creepy "Badder" video (it's "Bad" with kids), and the boring "Leave Me Alone video aged poorly. But if you're a fan of Michael Jackson (or you like B-movies like I do) then rent "Moonwalker" if you can find it. If you want a music video-type movie with a plot, I suggest you ignore "Moonwalker" and go rent Pink Floyd's "The Wall"!
Midnight Madness / 1980
If I were Michael J. Fox, I even wouldn't admit to starring in "Midnight Madness" or "Class of 1984". Kudos, though, to the person that said the former was his feature debut.
Midnight Offerings / 1981
Bad acting, juvenile, worst use of famous cast, horrible script, terrifying makeup... I could go on and on...
Millenium / 1989
This is the only movie during which I have walked out of the theater before it was over. Weird, stupid plot about a plane crashing and some strange band of time-travellers who abduct passengers from the doomed airplane to take back to the future with them to help repopulate the dying Earth. Lame, lame, LAME and very confusing.
Faye Dunaway really goes [way] over the top to portray "The Queen of Hollywood", Joan Crawford. Faye plays Joan so badly, that it goes beyond camp and it makes a joke of alcoholism and child abuse, two very unfunny subjects. But with the overracting, you can't help but laugh at the campiest scene in the film, being that of the infamous "Wire Hanger" scene. Based on Christina Crawford's bestselling biograpy of her mother, published soon after Joan Crawford's death. I wonder why? But hey! Even Angela Lansbury swears this actually happened, so it must be true! Camp imitates life.
So, if you've seen this movie, then you know how bad it is. If you haven't seen this film.. DON'T!! Please, God, DON'T! It begins with a guy who was tragically hit by a car. Sadly he became a parapalegic and was confined to his voice activated wheel chair. He decideds to make things better for himself by getting a trained monkey to help him out. Well, he falls in love with the monkey's trainer, and the monkey falls in love with him. Meaning.. the monkey tries to kill anyone who tries to get close to his owner... So in the end the monkey is killed by his handicapped owner, by him biting and hacking him around a bit. I feel that this has been the worst film ever made. It should be illegal to make films as bad as this. I want my hour and a half of life I wasted watching this film back.
Monster Dog / 198?
Calling all Alice Cooper fans! He plays a lead singer/unknowing warewolf in this cheeseball. The musical number in the beginning is a whoot. Sounds more like Engelbert Humperdinck than the Alice Cooper we know.
Stupid movie about a man and his sister killing human beings and make sausage out of them, packaging it and selling it commercially. They also planted the people in the ground like a garden.
Quite possibly the world's most cheesiest horror flicks ever to be put on film. It scared the hell out of me when I was little and on HBO or something but I watched it again recently and why it scared me I will never know. Classic cheesy 80's horror flicks, hey I love them all, even if they are bad like this one. :-)
movie / 1999
why it's the worst
This movie had some funny moments, but Richard Pryor wasn't funny at all. I don't why he made this movie. It was really bad.
My Boyfriend's Back / 1982
A comedy without much comedy except for the laughably bad script. Especially at the end, when the undertaker, who seems to know much about the undead, gives a 'sentimental' speech about coming back from the dead. I didn't know whether to be touched or disturbed.
I think it stunk because it didn't make any sense to me. Come on, now, that is one of the happiest movies I have ever seen. I give it a two thumbs down and around and on the ground.
The Night Before / 1988
Lori Loughlin (Becky from the TV show "Full House") loses a bet and has to go to the senior prom with nerd Keanu Reeves. They never make it to the prom, and he loses her and sells her to a pimp named Tito. The movie was just plain horrible, but thank God he went on to the "Bill and Ted" movies.
If the late, great River Phoenix was still alive, he'd definitely wouldn't want this awful excuse for a film to still be on his resume. He plays a high schooler who breaks up with his sweetheart (a truly awful Meredith Salenger), then embarks on a night of drugs, sex, and idiocy. Among his conquest is a much older Ann Magnuson, a dull Ione Skye, and others who would rather remain anonymous. One line from the whole movie sums it up: "You make me wanna vomit." Didn't we all?
Was it supposed to be a comedy or a drama? The late River Phoenix stars as a horny teen living his worst night while sleeping with women of all ages. One line in this film says it all, "You make me want to vomit." Didn't we all?
'Night Mother / 86
Because there were only 2 actress and in the whole movie, all they talked about is one of them commiting suicide.
Night Of The Comet / 1984
This movie was a cross between "The Omega Man" and "Valley Girl". It's about these two Valley airhead girls and they're the last two people on Earth. This movie really sucked big time.
Night of The Comet Zombies / 198?
Don't get me started. This was the WORST sci-fi movie I've ever seen.
Night Of The Creeps / 1986
A cheesy horror flick about slugs from outer space that turns teens into zombies. It's so predicatable and silly that it's like an episode of "Friday the 13th: The Series". Only if the director throw the film into a bon fire.
Night Of The Life Of Jimmy Reardon / 1988
This movie didn't make sense of to me. I know this was set in 1960's Chicago. You had to admit that the movie had some funny moments, but it really was bad.
Night Patrol / 1984
My dad and I were lucky we went to the dollar theater (no wonder they went out of business) instead of wasting $7.00 on this wretched piece of crap advertised as a comedy. Murray Langston reprises his "Unknown Comic" from "The Gong Show" (why?) and there are several GS regulars in the cast including Jaye P. Morgan (Morgone as Chuck Barras would say). There is also Linda Blair, but my guess is she would like to forget she was in this film. After being subjected to crude, unfunny lowjinks, my dad and I came out of the theater holding our noses.
Well, just like in every horrible 80s horror film you always think you know what is going on by the end of the movie, you will always find out something new and incredibly stupid in the sequels. It is a dumb plot, it was Johnny Depps first movie and they killed him off. I guess that Wes Craven did not know that Johnny would have been so successful in Hollywood.
Nightmare on Elm Street Pt 2 / 1982
This film did not "stink", but it would have been better if the director had not tried to exceed Wes Craven's original masterpiece. This film tried to be too 'dark', which was it's only flaw. If you had watched the first movie you would have realised that Freddy was not killed in the house on Elm Street. He was torched in the local industrial facility, by the families of the children that he killed in the events preceeding the first film. Fool.
Nightmare on Elm Street series / 1984-On
My brother and I borrowed the boxed set of "Nightmare on Elm Street" DVDs last year, and we had a laugh riot. These movies were pathetic and funny all at the same time. Freddy Krueger gains revenge by killing innocent teens (believe me, they're anything BUT innocent!). The characters are not believeable in the least (We did this little thing with the "Nightmare" movies in which we picked our characters and saw how long they lasted. My brother Brian was Alice's boyfriend Dan, who was killed a the beginning of "The Dream Child," I was Alice, who was just discontinued, and my best friend Kristin was, well, Kristin, and she was just discontinued, I think). Anyways, the acting was corny, the plots were dumb, and the characters were completely unrelatable to real life. However, watch "Freddy's Dead" (1991) on DVD, with the kick-butt 3D dream sequence. Otherwise, watch for a good laugh.
Nightmare on Elm Street, Part 2 / 1982
Nightmare on Elm Street was a corny series of films, but at least Freddy had a sense of humor. However, even a sense of humor could not help Part 2. In it, a kid moves to the house where Freddy was killed, and now they did like an Amityville and weird junk happens in the house. A bird catches on fire and all kinds of junk like that. And, Freddy plays Exorcist and enters the boys body and makes him kill people. Unfortunately, he inherited the body of a nerd who cannot act. The story is so horribly hokey! I guess with the 80s, horror movies are presumeably bad.
No Holds Barred / 1988
So bad, so bad. This movie was released as Hulk Hogan's first movie. He cries as his arch-nemisis, Zues, beats up his little brother, randy. Nuff said.
No Retreat No Surrender / 1985
This was a cheap version of "The Karate Kid. It's about this kid who is a big fan of Bruce Lee.
Not Quite Human / 1987
An awful made for TV movie that's like a combination of "Short Circuit" and the cartoon "My Life as a Teenage Robot" with Alan Thicke's character having a robot as a teenage son who wants to act like a real teenager that goes to high school & have friends. Even as a 5 year old, I thought this movie was stupid. Even the fact this was aimed towards children.
Not Quite Human II / 1989
(See: "Not Quite Human") An awful sequel from an awful made for tv movie. This time, Chip, the teenage robot, is off to college.
OC & Stiggs / 1985
Stupid buddy movie that jumps around like the film editor was huffing model airplane glue and WD40 while working on this sad project. Lame jokes and even more lame is the semi-allstar cast which includes,Jane Curtain ,Bob Uecker, Martin Mull, a severely coked-out-of-his-mind Dennis Hopper and a sweet performance from Melivn Van Peebles (Mario's old man). Do yourself a favor, do your kids a favor, do society a favor and rent a copy today only never return it. Pull the tape out. Your monetary sacrifice is worth it. Thank goodness this one isn't available for purchase at the moment. I'm sure someday, some higher up at the movie company, that totally out of touch will think it's a "good" idea to release this movie to DVD format. All I can say is, any one who sees this movie will want back the 120 minutes they've wasted.
on golden pond sucked, because i didn't enjoy watching it. ya see people, i watch movies for fun and enjoyment, not to disect every reel w/ a magnifying glass, who cares if it didn't win any oscars, or if i could do a better job acting in it, hey i had fun watching it. by the way many of your stinkers are on my top 10 list. to each his own. peace!!
Oh Good God...This is one movie I'm sure Jim Carrey wishes hellfire and brimstone would come up and consume! Comedy central shows it quite frequently. It's about this teenage boy (Carrey) who has been dating this girl for some time and wants to get some, frankly. She doesn't want to do it with him yet, so he's very sad about this. To try and cheer him up, Carrey's two dorky little friends take him out for a night on the town. They go to this place with lip-shaped telephones that you call different tables with to try and get some action. Carrey manages to hook himself up with Lauren Hutton, a five hundred year old vampiress who needs a virgin so she can stay young and pretty. She has to have sex with him before midnight or she'll shrivel up. This premise, complete with Hutton's flamboyant black vampire attendant, is really a winner! :P
The Oracle / 1986
Everything about it stunk: Stupid plot about a planchette (the pointer thingy on a ouija board) without the board. Terrible acting, some of the worst camera work ever done, and several (unintentionally) hilarious scream scenes. I had the misfortune to see this in the theater. In fact this movie was SOOO bad that 15 years later I still have the ticket stub as a reminder of the biggest waste of money I have ever suffered
Out of Bounds / 1986
Picture it...1986...Anthony Michael Hall in his teen agnst post-John Hughes phase. This is a story about a farm boy from Iowa who goes to visit his brother in Los Angeles. While he is at the airport, he picks up an (oh no!) identical bag but it contains drugs. So the dealers think he stole it, come after him, and wind up killing his brother instead. Then the cops are looking for him, too, because they think he killed his brother and that he is a drug smuggler. The story is so lousy and predictable and Anthony Michael Hall didn't say anything for about twenty minutes into the movie. Even then, he didn't look too thrilled to be in the movie. Caution: If you find this movie at a video store...do not, I repeat, do not waste money on it. If you must find a similar movie, head for a 1991 movie called Run. It has a better plot, Patrick Dempsey, and some good chase scenes.
Out Of Control / 1985
One of the very many awful movies that red-headed hottie Betsy Russell attempted to act in. This one also had future Twin Peaks-er Sherilyn Fenn. A group of teens are stranded on an island---and they're not alone. You know the movie stinks when the best part is at the beginning, which is the theme song played during the opening credits.
This movie is so boring. It bored me to death.
This is a no-brainer. This film tried to mix arm wrestling with a child custody struggle between a truck driver and his wealthy father-in-law. I mean a story about arm wrestling! How ridiculous!
Overdrawn At The Memory Bank/Hobgoblins / 198?
A God-awful TV movie I saw on Mystery Science Theater 3000 today, even Mike and The Bots couldn't make watching this fun. They were making fun of this blot on the late Raul Julia's career, and deservedly so. I can't really explain the plot, but it involves mind stuff and many references to "Casablanca", which was a good movie. I don't recommend watching this unless they have the MST3K version on the Sci-Fi Channel again. Another bad movie that was on MST3K was "Hobgoblins". It was some weird thing about creatures from a film vault, and it dragged on forever. It had cheap non-thrills, a bad Wang Chung reference, it was boring as hell...I JUST HATE IT!
No one has suggested this plotless, meandering, meat-marketing movie, replete with bad aerobics music, bad 80's hair and HORRIBLE acting? Shame on Travolta for having accepted the co-starring role in this piece of cinematic crap.
The worst Stephen King adaptation in the 80s was a tie between "Maximum Overdrive", "Children of the Corn", and this overhyped loser. That is, if only because the parents were two of the most ignorant in horror history. Fred Gwynne (of Herman Muster fame) plays an old "dog" who tries to warn the family of a pet sematary that brings the dead back to life, only not as they would like. Of course, the dad ignores him. The worse one in the whole movie is the bratty daughter, who is so grating that she doesn't appear in the second half. But the whole movie was maddening and not even scary. P.S.: Stephen King movies are all a waste of time other than "It", "Carrie", and "Salem's Lot".
Pretty made to cash in on the suceess of the musical, this time around the girl in the film, "travels back in time" to Paris and meets The Phantom. Apparently, she looks like the girl he loves, and The Phantom is willing to kill anyone who gets his way. Just plain bad.
Willie Aames as a young pirate and Kristy McNichol as his love interest should alone warrant its inclusion here, but throw in a bunch of double-entendres and some ridiculous musical numbers ("Pumpin' and Blowin'"???!!!???) and presto... Velveetafest! (ed. parody of The Pirates of Penzance, which is a farce itself.)
Must I really say why? Some laughs in this low budget police movie where stupid dumb cops get trained and put into real action. Steve Guttenberg didn't do to well after the 80's. Maybe I know why. They followed this film with like 3 or 4 more sequels. Ugghh, I get sick just thinking about it.
This movie was horror at it's worst. I really didn't think it was that great anyhow. How could anyone believe this movie? I didn't believe any of the actors and I think that this guy spent more time with the script and less time with makeup then I think that this movie would have been entirely believable.
Porky's / 1981
Hmmmm...... a bunch of high school guys desperately trying to get some with a whole bunch of lame, stupid gags along the way. It's hilarious.....not!!!!! Not one you want to keep for posterity.
Porkys 2 :The Next Day / 1983
Saw this movie on Comedy Central 4 years ago. This movie was like a dead soft drink. Porky was the only character that is not seen, and the other characters had really lost it. The ending scene should have never been edited.
I just think that this movie was the worst of all movies i have ever watched in my life. Who cares if she's not popular and falls for that rich guy Blane, he's ugly anyways.
The red-headed actress was terrible. [Ed.'s note: For those who don't know, Dale is referring to Molly Ringwald.]
Pretty Smart / 1987
I saw this movie on USA one night, and you can tell this was a very cheesy. It looked like they ran out of idea's in the 80's.
The Prey / 1980
Typical extremely cheesy B-Movie slasher (campers getting picked off one by one) horror flick. Tagline says it the best - It's not human, and it's got an axe!
Arguably the worst Jamie Lee Curtis film when she was the 80's "Scream Queen". Cruel pre-teens play a joke on a girl and causes her fatal dive. When they become high school seniors, one of them slices all the others except Kim Hammond (Jamie Lee, who looks like one of the teachers and not the teenager she's supposed to be playing). The ending is laughable, and Jamie Lee was sleepwalking her role, probably due to her apparent boredom.
Pumpkinhead / 1988
A typical horror/slasher film with a bunch of teens in the woods, a creepy woman, and a couple stereotypical southerners. Besides the cliches, the monster is like a cross between Freddy Kruegar & the alien from "Alien". Throughout the film, the teens try to evade (blah, blah, blah) and find a way to rid of the monster. Though I'm not a fan of this genre, but I find the acting cheesy, cliche, and the monster looked fake. The only solution: Change The Channel.
Even with Tom Hanks & Sally Field, this movie is a bust. Would've worked if the movie featured Lily Tomlin or any female comic of the era instead of Sally Field, who's more better in the drama genre, IMO. Though I can't stand her in any role except the '60's televison series "Gidget".
It's like one hellish music video, except that it lasts much longer than the average music video. There is absolutely NO story line to follow, the dialogues produce the same effet as a lobotomy, and even though the music was fantastic, every concert scene looks exactly as the previous one. But it's the acting that should earn this turkey a golden mention : every single actor is pathetic. Prince inanely mumbles his line, perhaps so that we won't understand them, and looks like he was dipped in olive oil before each scene; his band members look stoned and dumb, and can't even deliver the few lines that they have in a convincing way; Apollonia is anything but believable as the wanna-be superstar who can't make her mind up between two men (she even messes up the lip-synch of her only performance of the movie, a modern woman anthem titled "Sex Shooter")... The movie was a huge success, no doubt because of its outstanding soundtrack, but it still left an aftertaste of ridicule in your mouth - especially if you paid full price to see it !
Yuppie redemption BS. Who needs it!!!
RAD / 1988
O, who goes to there highschool dance and dances with a girl on there bicycle? The idiot from rad. Rad is an awful movie in which a boy wants to be in a bicycle competition and of course his mother says it conflicts with his SAT's. Rent this awful movie you'll have a laugh riot.
Clive Cussler's excellent novel is transformed into a movie that just cannot float (pun intended). This bomb was directed by Jerry Jameson, who brought you such hits as Airport '77 and Starflight One. The basic plot centers around a top-secret defense system developed by the Americans that requires a highly radioactive mineral, byzanium, to power it. Byzanium? Doesn't even sound real. Unfortunately for the Americans, the mineral they are searching for is located in only one known spot: Soviet Russia. And unfortunately for the world, the only known stash of byzanium just happens to be in the cargo hold of the RMS Titanic, which rests two and a half miles under the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. The solution? Bring the Titanic up (intact, no less!) and open the hold. The man to do the job? None other than (da da DA!) Dirk Pitt!, a cross between James Bond and Jaques Cousteau. While the movie had a reasonable plot, what made it so bad was the forced acting, cheesy dialogue ("I am a good fisherperson. I just can't get the wormy on the hooky!"), and obvious goofs in the film. And Clive Cussler himself had a cameo in all of this?! About the only thing that saves this movie from being buried as far down as the real Titanic is the rousing musical score by John Barry (mostly known for his James Bond scores) that accompanies that shot of the Titanic resurfacing. Unfortunately, it seems like more people are interested in seeing the boat go down than come up. Let's hope Cussler's novel Sahara makes a more graceful transition to the screen in 2003.
Rambo: First Blood 2 / 1985
Okay, it didn't make sense. It was boring.
Where do I start? The acting of Stallone, the incredibly bad accent of Co Bao, the ludicrous script, inanely stupid action sequences, the jingoistic nature of the film. Of all the bad movies of the 80's, this is the only one I remember walking out on (with two of my friends). To this day, I have never seen the entire movie.
Rappin' / 1985
This was during the height of the break dance movies like "Breakin'" and "Beat Street". This movie was bloody awful. The movie starred Mario Van Peebles and Eriq LaSalle. I know they both wished they never made this movie back then.
My friend and I stumbled across this film in a second hand gypsy infested shop. Seeing as we called one of our mates by the same name, it would have been stupid of us to not buy it. How wrong we were! This is just a diabolical film. In fact, we turned it off about 40 minutes in as it was just too painful to watch.
"Raw Deal" is the worst Ah-nuld movie of the '80s. It involves our favorite beefcake hero Arnie as Mark Kaminsky. The former FED has a beef with Chicago gangsters, so he wipes them off "Terminator" style. Although better than his flops that follows it ("Last Action Hero", "Junior", Jingle All The Way"), it's still a "raw" disapointment. Arnold Schwartzenegger should've known better, but he redeems himself with "Predator" and "The Running Man". There's one lesson I learned from this movie is this: "Don't drink and bake!"
The movie that almost singlehandedly cost Bill Murray his entire career up to that point,and with good reason. A huge mistake it was for him to try his hand at straight drama. So funny I forgot to laugh! Good thing he realized what was good for him and, almost 20 years after the fact, hasn't touched a dramatic role ever since(at least that I know of)..Good boy!
This is down right one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The film has nothing redeeming about anything and it's not based on a true story. It's just plain fake! All people in this movie do is cry and worry about their parents or people dead while the Russians were attacking their town. THIS MOVIE SUCKS!!!!!!!!
Yuck! Cold war paranoia run so rampant, all of the filmmakers and the moron who had the nerve to approve this garbage deserve a giant deuling glove across the face for this crap. It's just a stupid and as pointless and as long and demeaning as the 1987 Corey Feldman/Meredith Salinger movie "Edge of Honor."
Reform School Girls / 1986
This movie has to be the most disturbing "women in prison" flick I've seen. Unlike "The Concrete Jungle", the characters are more sinister & the scenes are just too repulsive to mention. And I don't mean in a good way like other films of this genre like "Chained Heat" and the mentioned "Concrete Jungle".
Rest In Pieces / 1987
Complete waste of film. I rented this because the back shots on the box looked pretty gory. There were about 3-4 gory scenes in the entire movie. I have no idea why it was in the horror section. A 4 year old wouldn't get scared. The only scene that surprised me is when the dead lady sat up in the coffin ("reflex action"), and there was one scene of a rotting body or something like that. I am sorry I even watched it through to the end. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! There should be laws against movies like this. Directors and writers like this should be shot.
Return Of The Killer Tomatoes / 1988
This wasn't even a sequel it was more like a parody to the orginal horror film "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes". I mean everyone in this film is prejudice against tomatoes. They should of had the giant killer tomatoes instead of those Rambo imitation dudes.
Return Of The Living Dead / 1985
Bad acting, dumb storyline concept. Also, despite it was only about 90 minutes, it got boring half way. Not to mention some inappropriate scenes.(both unnecessary and rude). I know why more people dislike it.
Return Of The Living Dead Part II / 1988
They took a great Horror Movie and Trashed it with screwball comedy, Should have known that was coming. The director is the same guy who did Meatballs 2 and that was BAD!
It was the sequel to Wizard of OZ. It had a pumpkin head guy and a flying moose couch. This story stunk. They just should have left it alone. Weird and trippy. Don't take the kids.
Dolly Parton acts and Sly Stallone sings......YIKES!!! This was a movie I saw in the theater when it was released in the Eighties and I thoought it was the worst movie I had ever seen. Then I saw it again in the 90's just to affirm my prior opinion and I was tragically correct. One more time for good measure just this past year and alas, the movie has not gotten better with age, only solidifying my judgement of 20 years earlier. HORRIBLE movie! Rent the movie, view it then immediately destroy the tape so that we can put an end to the agony.
Ok, I didn't even have to see this movie to know its one bad joke. It was on one of the movie channels I get on digital cable, and in it Dolly Parton attempts to make Sylvester Stallone into a country singer. Ok, who can picture Sly Stallone, friggin' Rocky Balboa himself, as a country singer? I certainly can't. I remember hearing Dana Carvey make a joke in a sketch on "Saturday Night Live" about this movie to Dolly Parton. He says: "Ah, 'Rhinestone,' the movie that almost single-handedly destroyed Sylvester Stallone's career!" Not that alot of Stallone's movies have been hits--remember the arm-wrestling stinkeroo? But, if a movie is so bad it almost ruins your career, and you're reduced to making stinky films, then you know it was bad. Hence, there's "Rhinestone"!!!!!
A corny action flick featuring Patrick Swayze as a bouncer who ends up at some dirty bar with attractive women & stereotypical tough guys. For some strange reason, I saw this cheese fest on VH1 and found it very dumb and boring. Even the attractive women & fight scenes doesn't make this worth watching. In a typical VH1 manner, I'd say this is the most 'Awesomely Bad' action film I've ever seen for a while.
Many people who have seen HOUSE would say it's a classic and entertaining movie...they were fooled. This has got to be one of the most boring horror films ever made. Yes the plot is good, but theres no suspence, most of the actors are mediocre, and to top it off the movie is boring and built with poor foundations. Good effects, and an ok plot, but slow paced and bad acting. ** out of *****. Skip this and go to the sequels, they're much better.
Robo Jox / 198?
This movie had one good moment, when two huge robots controlled by humans inside (ala Power Rangers) are fighting and one falls on the crowd. Other than that 5 minutes, the horrible acting, terrible story, and awful costumes/set equal the second worst movie I've ever seen at the theater. Yes, I saw it in the theater.
Robocop is a well-known movie directed by the same guy who made Total Recall. The visuals are great, but Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, and Jose Ferrer all play ridiculous nerds in a story that might've started out alright, but got incredibly stupid and exaggerated towards the end. How awful are the sequels?
Robot Holocaust / 1987
Terrible, lame, and stupid sci-fi flic about a group of talentless extras who battle an evil, marble-mouthed bimbo & her rampaging sock puppets!
Rock'n'Roll Nightmare / 198?
The worst movie I've ever scene. It's about this butt rock band going to a haunted house (but they didn't know it was haunted) to record their album. One by one the band members get killed by Jim Henson monster puppets. Of course, the singer is the only one left and must then confront satan, but all along, he was really Garbrel the arc angel! And the previous hour of filming was all a ploy to trap and defeat satan! As you can see the plot was made up as the filming went on. The one particular outfit that I found very amusing was the studded underware Gabrel wore when defeating satan, it was real treat! I highly recommend that you be really drunk when watching this movie.
The reviewer said Tommy Davidson. It's Tommy Morrison.
Alright, so it came out in 1990, but Rocky V tarnishes the whole series. They should of just stopped after Rocky pumbled Ivan Drago. And Tommy Davidson is a terrible actor and that whole plot could of never happened. The movie sucks.
Roller Blade / 1986
A bizzare and absurd film cowbining the worst of "The Warriors" and every "Mad Max" rip-off, except on ROLLER SKATES!! There is a EVIL RUBBER MIDGET, horrible dubbed dialogue, and an avalanche of smiley faces. You have to see this one ot believe it...
As much as I LOVE Dudley Moore... this movie was pretty bad. The plotline moved WAY too quickly, most of the female character's lines and actions seem too mechanical, and isn't really all that much of a comedy, despite its title.
Rubber Face / 1983
Well, first off, this movie should have not even been a movie. It was only about 40 minutes long. This was Jim Carrey's first movie. Not too many people know about and it should stay that way!! Big props of what he has acomplished now though.
Kids from a small town form a group and go off to find a producer (Liam Neeson) to get famous. The lead singer (Justine Bateman) falls for him and then finds he's at it with another woman (Deborah Harry). Love, betrayal and rock music. A great idea for a movie but its just done so poorly. A young Julia Roberts co-stars as another group member and not even she saves it. It's simply boring and a waste of 90 mins. Worth fast- forwarding to see a sexy middle aged Debbie Harry though.
Because of the profanity and violence.
School Spirit / 1984
This came out right after the cult success of that Scott Baio stinky "Zapped." It follows a similar pattern, oversexed high school nerd lands supernatural powers to use those for mucho T&A viewing. But this had the added benefit of filming pot smoking high school freaks in almost every scene. Oh yea, the plot (if there was one).......Main character "dies" and becomes a ghost. Haunts his school --- mainly the girl's locker room where bunches of overly developed fems shower at all hours of the day. There was some other stuff going on, including an LSD inspired sex scene where the main character has intercourse with the sweet, innocense for sale girl as the rest of the cast stares at their resulting pulsing white light with drug-induced awe. I saw this move ONCE when it came out. It's soooo bad, it stuck with me through the whole movie.
Scream for Help / 1984
A young teenage girl saves her mother from a horny con man and his "buddies". Unfortunately, that's not the end of the movie. Any film that contains a character named Lacey Bowles (a man) deserves to fail. Unrelenting violence and stupidity.
Shag: The Movie / 1989
A cross between "Dirty Dancing" with any '60's beach blanket flicks. A poor attempt to cash in with the nostalgic '60's craze in the late 1980's with TV shows like "The Wonder Years" and the mentioned movie "Dirty Dancing". Even Phoebe Cates from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" doesn't make this stinkfest worth viewing.
THERE'S NO NEED TO EXPLAIN... MADONNA TRYING TO ACT, AND SEAN PENN WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HIM? MAYBE TRYING TO DESTROY HIS ACTOR CAREER.I LASTED 20 MINUTES INTO THE THEATER, THEN I JUST WALKED OUT, LEAVING THE THEATER COMPLETELY EMPTY. IF YOU HAVE ENEMIES JUST RECOMMEND IT TO THEM JAJA
Not enough room on this form to describe this awful film. I just caught up with it on TV recently. Painful to watch!!
Sheena: Queen of the Jungle / 1984
Tanya Roberts as Sheena lives in the African jungle raised by natives looking like she just stepped out of a Beverly Hills salon, waxed and all. But when Ted Wass (our hero) takes off his shirt she shrieks "Fur!! You have fur!! She speaks perfect English but doesn't understand "certain" words he says. It's so stupid you can't help watching. She puts her fingers to her head to speak to the animals from very far away and gives the appearance she is having a migraine. She thought this movie was going to make her a huge star after Charlie's Angels, instead it ruined any chance of her ever making movies again. The one thing I did like about this movie was looking at Ted Wass, he should have been naked more. I know the guys loved the full frontal nudity of Tanya. Too bad she blew her gig on That 70's Show.
Where do I start? It's the sequeal to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It didn't have Barry Bostwick or Susan Sarandon. It stars Clif DeYoung and Jessica Harper Do to a lack of budget the whole movie takes place in a TV studio. The only thing that saves this movie is the music and even the music isn't that good. I could go on but it's too painful to talk about.
Well where do we begin. A robot that through some over spoofed coincidence is given human attributes. It bleeps and it squeeks and it loves. I am hard pressed to conjure up a more pathetic example of 80's kiddy morality boxed and presented as film. But I digress, to finish in the words of the infernal artificial intelligence, "Johhny five is alive."
Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 / 1987
Two words: GARBAGE DAY! Otherwise, a third of it is flashback scenes from the first movie, and the rest involves the laughable acting of Eric Freedman and his eyebrows dancing when he speaks.
Sleep Away Camp / 1984
This movie was a cross between "Jason Meets The Crying Game. This movie was too funny to be scary. This was definitely a 80's low budget horror movie.
Slent Scream / 1980
Typical *cheap* horror flick. A crazed maniac is killing off everyone living in a rental house. Living in the basement (of course!)and it is up to a girl to take care of the problem. I do remember the theatre being PACKED at the time I went with my boyfriend to see it. (though in retrospect I don't know why!)
Big hair nightmare. The girl singer gets up and sings "Hungry Heart" wearing leg warmers and pink triangle earrings. She's supposed to be the next big singing sensation. One of the top five worst movies l have ever seen.
The Slumber Party Massacre Part 2 / 1987
All the critics I've read (even those made by true horror fans) categorized the Slumber Party Massacre trilogy as the worst 80s slasher films ever. According to me, the first one is really good. It's even better than most of the Friday the 13th movies. It has blood, breasts, screams, and a bad story. What else do you want? It's a Halloween rip-off after all! Part 3 is not bad. The problem is definitely part 2. It's a cheesy, pathetic bad-acted horror sequel that brings the whole trilogy down. It's too bad it's called The Slumber Party Massacre. It gives a good one a bad name. However I laughed several times. Good with beer and friends! But please, 80s horror has already been better!! If you want pure fun, watch the first, skip part 2, just like we all do with Halloween 3.
Smokey & The Bandit III / 1983
I can't believe this movie even exist. Good thing Sally Field wasn't in this.
Snake Eater / 1989
This is without a doubt one of the worst films ever made. Lorenzo Lamas (or "The Handsome Stooge" as we call him...sorry Shemp)portrays a rogue undercover narc who is known by everyone (pushers, hookers, police chiefs, hell even his family calls him this) as "Soldier." Soldier once belonged to a super secret, ultra dangerous division of the Marines called the "Snake Eaters," which as the audience is told are so cool that you have to eat a snake just to join. I remember graduating high school in 1989 and being visited by a Marine recruiter at my house. I told him I'd only join if I could join the Snake Eaters and go around consuming elongated reptiles to prove my worth as a member of the greatest fighting force alive (apart from G.I. Joe, mind you). Oddly enough, I was never contacted by the U.S.M.C. again. Anyway, Soldier's family (mom, dad, young nubile sister) is on vacation somewhere in the backwoods of Petticoat Junction on a rented boathouse. Suddenly, they are attacked by the one group most of us truly fear on vacations: mutant hillbillies. I'm not kidding: mutant hillbillies lead by the super brain, "Junior." Soldier's mom and dad are killed and eaten outright, but Junior takes a shine to the young nubile girl on board and decides the family needs a new breeding machine back at their farm. Upon hearing the news, Soldier does what anyone of us would do immediately: he gets in a bar fight with a biker named "The Dentist." The Dentist has several teeth hanging around his neck on a chain and wields a pair of pliers that he uses to remove his victim's teeth. Soldier bests him in battle and in a show of Oscar Wilde wit removes the Dentist's molar. Impressed by Soldier's dental handywork, a mysterious female tells Soldier (who, by the way, is NEVER called Snake Eater throughout the flick)that she and her outlaw biker/gun running father can help him find his lost sister. Soldier, of course, accepts her help but not until he has taken her back to her father's boathouse and does her six ways to Sunday with his magic johnny-rod. I ask you: are you going to expect help to come from a cranked up biker outlaw whose daughter you just rogered in his own bed? Yes, bad form indeed! Soldier does receive help from the outlaw biker in the form of the biker converting one of his beautiful Harleys into a hybrid of a motorcycle and a Seadoo. He also arms Soldier with enough weaponry and ammo to push back the Tet Offensive by himself and sends his daughter along to her unforseen doom against the mutant hillbillies. Oddly enough, the old biker doesn't go himself but sends his only child to face death on her own. How noble! The short version is Soldier beats the hillbillies through superior firepower (i.e., the Heroes from Hooterville are sporting shotguns and rabbit rifles while Soldier has M-16's with grenade launchers, .50 autocannons, and a couple LAW rocket launchers for poops and giggles). His sister is safe and we all learn a lession about locking the entrances to borrowed houseboats while drifting aimlessly through mutant hillbilly infested areas. Ready for the kicker? Here it is: Soldier is taken off of suspension (did I forget to mention that he is a suspended rogue undercover narcotics officer which is why he has so much free time on his hands that he can wantonly execute Mr. Hainey, Arnold the Pig, and other members of the poorer classes in Appalachia)and is obviously made a detective who investigates arson cases. He's hot (excuse the pun) on the trail of an arsonist played by TV's Arnold Horshack from "Welcome Back Kotter." After capturing the arsonist and tying him up, he engages in witty banter with the no-goodnik and douses him in a flammable liquid. Then he make a pithy comment and SETS THE POOR BASTARD ON FIRE ON HIS WAY OUT! This is thankfully the end of the film. I actually looked this movie up in one of those movie guides that lists every film since "The Great Train Robbery," and I found out there are SEVEN Snake Eater films. Surprisingly enough, the first one got a "turkey" but each one got a better rating until number seven ended up with 2 1/2 stars. Proof positive that sequels can be better than the original!
Snow White / 1988
I recently saw this on WGN, thinking this was true to the original Bros. Grimm story like 'Snow White: A Tale of Terror', but discovered that this was another cheesy adaptation of the overrated version popularized by Disney. I didn't like the "sugar coated" version, the special effects, including the magic mirror, were lame, even for 1988. Not to mention the fact I find this story a bit offensive since Prince Charming kissed Snow White (to revive her) instead of the dwarves, whom helped her. Atleast the original story had coal miners instead of dwarfes & doesn't have dumb songs with woodland creatures acting all "cutesy". I'd rather watch "Snow White: A Tale of Terror", which is true to the story. Not this version, Disney's more popular "Snow White & The Seven Dwarves", nor that long banned Warner Bros. parody.
This is so ridiculous, but it's been played several times on TBS or USA or one of those networks. What's even more ridiculous is that I end up watching it every time it's on. This movie is about a barren Earth where water supply is short and controlled by some evil guy, played by Richard Jordan, who is always called on to be the evil guy when Michael Ironside isn't available. It also stars Jami Gertz, Jason Patric (the one good thing about this movie!) and that kid from "Witness" with the big ears. They all jet around on roller skates in an attempt to beat the bad guy being helped by some mystical orb that the big-eared kid finds. And then it turns out that Jami Gertz is really a princess or something and her parents live in this giant resort-like oasis, so the "solarbabies" have to choose between taking the easy way out living there or doing their part for mankind by defeating the bad guy and freeing the water supply. Charles Durning also shows up here....and I can't say I'm surprised.
Something Wild / 1987?
Actually, this movie was so NOT going anywhere that I walked out only a couple of weeks, I mean 20 minutes, making it the only movie I have ever walked out on.
Soul Man / 1986
Would have been funny in theory (white guy becomes black to get college scholarship), but it preaches about race, sigh. Thomas C. Howell should have done better.
Space Raiders / 1983
Absolutely HORRIBLE movie from Roger Corman, with all music, sets, and special effects recycled from "Battle Beyond the Stars" from three years earlier.
Think "The Breakfast Club" meets "Goonies" meets "Top Gun" and you have a pretty good idea of what this movie is like. It also came out not long after the Challenger tragedy.
You deserve a great prize if you survived this turkey, nothing but a gumball rally type of movie rip - off, i sat half an hour and then i just walked out of the theather to ask for my money back, and they did!! I was sure it was going to be a great comedy, but the result was backwards, i didn't laugh not even a single time the half and hour i wasted You better rent the original "The Gumball Rally" (1976), it's a good road race comedy, you won't regret. Thanks.
If you thought "American Pie" and "Porky's" were too trashy, then you might want to avoid this B-grade tripe about, well, spring break. Any movie that contains an actor pooping in the toilet while his friends are in the bathroom with him doesn't need to be seen by anyone. I did have a crush on actress Jayne Modean, a TV commercial actress. But she is a big bust (no pun intended) on the big screen.
I'm surprised no one has posted this 80s cinematic failure yet. I can give you many reasons why this film stunk, but it's not worth my time. I'll just say any film that featured Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Rob Lowe, and Demi Moore automatically stinks (other than Moore's "A Few Good Men" and that was a Jack Nicholson-Tom Cruise movie.) One of the few reasons I despised the Brat Pack Hackers.
Stayin' Alive / 1983
A sequel to Saturday Night Fever -- Tony Manero dancing on Broadway?? Gimme a break!!
Now don't get me wrong, "Saturday Night Fever" was a fairly good movie, but "Staying Alive"? Oh, please! Not only did Sylvester Stallone write it (oddly enough), it has a terrible plot and no good dancing. John Travolta looks like he works out a ton. It is different that the first one becuase John acts like a regular guy who just wants to boogie. But in "Staying Alive", it's like "Fame"!
The Stepfather / 1987
This movie was on Bravo's "100 Scariest Movies of All-Time" (yeah, right!). I saw this movie on cable. This was a very bad movie.
From beginning to end, a non-sensical and ridiculous movie with no plot. Understandably stupid due to the fact that it was filmed in Canada, and starred Canadians. This movie is a 2 hour insult to anyone with anyone with an I.Q. over 75.
It is just bad, the acting, the story, Paul Lemat appears like John Milner on an acid trip, from a American Graffiti. It just sucks!
I waited about two hours for the plot to kick in and then the movie ended.
Student Bodies / 1981
This movie is so bad, it makes "Showgirls" look like an Oscar contender. But that's what makes it worth watching. Want to see one of the worst movies of all time? This is it!
Student Bodies / 1981
Well, it was actually supposed to bad, but not as bad as it came out. It was a spoof of slasher movies that actually had some really funny moments...but it had such a low budget look to it. There was a killer on the loose and everytime he found a couple having sex, he would kill them somehow by wrapping them in a big Hefty bag. It's definitely bad, don't rent it or anything, but if it's on TV sometime you might as well watch it...you'll get some laughs out of it.
Student Confidential / 1988
This movie sucks because: (1) It immediately tries to cash in on the stars of the movie which include Playboy Playmate Susan Scott, Eric Douglas (son of Kirk), and Marlon Jackson (brother to Michael). (2) It is a Trauma Team release (you know, the guys who did Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke Em' High). (3) The plot (if that is what you want to call it) involves the overused theme of a few high school kids with problems. Ok...that's enough. It is too painful to talk about, just save yourself from this beast of VHS tape. Please let it fall into obscurity and never be found in any tape store ever again.
It was about a yogurt-type substance that people bought, and became addicted to. Then it killed them and became alive. It was, by far, the silliest movie ever made (next to 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes', which should also be on the list). A horrendous movie but tons of fun to watch and make fun of.
A ice cream company that sells some type of living goo as ice cream. Then this "ice cream turns the people who eat it into zombies. A low budget very bad horror movie.
It's a horror movie quite similar to "The Blob" about an evil yogurt who turns people into zombies. In the end of the movies the yogurt gets gigantic and tries to bury everyone. Do I have to tell more?
Summer Camp Nightmare / 1986
An absolute laugh. Based on the book "The Butterfly Revolution," this movie is about Camp North Pines, an all-boys camp, run by Mr. Warren (Chuck Connors), a weird religious guy with an obsessive butterfly collection and an even bigger obsession with religion. That explains why the only channel the television gets is a religious station. After the girls camp, South Pines, arrives and has their talent show for the boys, Mr. Warren bans all activities that involve the girls' camp. Three guys break into the girls' camp and hook up with three of the girls, but only one of the guys, Chris Wayne--a dork with a perm--gets caught, and locked in "The Pit." When he is let out, he is a changed camper. Soon, all the campers revolt, and lock the counselors in The Pit. When Mr. Warren is bought into the mixer dance by one of the campers--tied-up, no less--to see what is going on, he tries to break free from his captor. but on the way back to the Pit, he falls on a knife and dies. Boo-hoo, he gave me the creeps anyway. And THEN, this one camper, Franklin Reilly (who looks like a poor excuse for a Corey Feldman circa-1988 rip-off) takes over, and the power goes to his head. A camper dies when girls attack him for raping another girl. The pathetic part is that the girls carry him off, mosh-pit style. Every guy, even the nerdy pre-pubescent boy, gets a girl. The dialogue and music is typical 1980s horror film dialogue, and lots of almost-sex. I only rented this because it sounded funny. I didn't expect to be scared of it. With some of the titles that Embassy Home Entertainment has put out (including a stinker listed here--"Deadly Blessing"), it easy to see why the company no longer exists. However, you gotta see this one to believe how bad it is.
I used to love this movie when I was about 5 years old. I saw it about a month ago and it was one of the worst things i've ever sat through. Faye Dunnaway tried too hard to be camp and over the top. She just looked stupid. Helen Slater was about as wooden as a door frame and that black wig she wore to disguise herself was pathetic. The storyline was dumb and the whole thing stank. I especially hated the 'special effects' and Faye Dunnaway's chants 'power of box' or whatever were laughable. I couldn't stand her wisecracking and unfunny female sidekick either. Truely awful.
This movie could be alot better if it was a light campy superhero flick and shorter running time (90-100 mins.) instead of trying to be a serious superhero flick and trying to be as long as an "epic" superhero movie. Although Helen Slater looked hot in her superhero get up and as a brunette school girl, she didn't do justice with heroic acting! Faye Dunaway has the worst acting for a comic book villian I have ever seen. She made Arnold Scwartznegger's Mr. Freeze from "Batman and Robin" look like Jack Nicholson's Joker from the orginal "Batman"! You know your movies in trouble when the opening credits are the best part of the movie! Super-boring is more like it!
Superman 3 / 1985
Superman teams up with Richard Pryor. Need I say more?
Superman kills, which is the biggest no-no of all time for him. And now has new superpowers, such as the ability to throw a giant S from his chest that disappears. Did the writers even check the source material before making this?
Superman IV : The Quest for Peace / 1986
Cheap, cheap, cheap. Ridiculous special effects. Not to mention: plot, acting, lighting, you name it. Possibly the all time worst big budget comic book movie. But very funny for parties.
Superman IV: A Quest for Peace / 1987
This is the "worst" Superman movie ever made. The late Christopher Reeve had to be ashamed of this one because even though he actually was second unit director in this movie. He also wanted to make changes to make Superman from a hero we all wished we'd be into an egotisical messiah who can stop nucular weapons in a matter of seconds. Then there's the scene where Mariel Hemmingway was saved by Superman in space.... with just her business suit. If you want to watch the real Superman in action watch the first two Superman movies or wait until the summer 2006 release. Just stay from this superstinker!
Superman IV: The Quest For Peace / 1987
One of those very rare films where I actually left before the end, and demanded (and got) a refund. Me who LOOOVED Superman I and II! They even had the nerve to try and rehash the Superman-and-Lois flying sequence. A disaster all the way.
I remember when this movie came out the saying was very popular. I saw the movie when I was a kid and was bored through the whole movie just waiting for him to say that line at the very end. What a waste of money my parents spent to take me to see this movie.
Nick Nolte teaches derelict students in a school system run by stuff-shirt a**holes. Ralph Macchio doesn't do any karate. Crispin Glover shoots himself in the hallway. Judd Hirsch fires Nolte. Jobeth Williams strips naked in the school. And there's Allen Garfield in his typecasting grumpy old man role. If those don't prevent you from seeing this movie, then American education HAS gone down the tubes.
Teen Witch / 1989
Acting, clothes, music, title, plot...everything.
Teen Wolf / 1985
The whole plot sucked. Michael J. Fox is a high school basketball player who turns in to a werewolf. Then everybody likes him. The thing that really made it bad was how he went to a dance and everybody did this werewolf dance as if they all knew the dance by heart and it was overall a terrible movie.
The Telephone / 80's
Because through the whole movie she is talking on the phone,then you find out in the end,she doesn't have phone service...VERY DUMB!!!
No plot. Halfway through it switches from this barbarian/fantasy "beginning of time" genre some spacey sci-fi thing.
They Live / 1988
WWF Wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper tries to expose aliens disguised as humans. The aliens are only visible by using a special set of glasses. The movie is filled with stupid one-liners and a 10 minute fight scene between two "good guys". I mean, come on! I know that John Carpenter could do better than that.
Here's the premise: Guy finds magic sunglasses, puts them on and can suddenly see that the majority of people in his town are really robot aliens. Produced such hip dialogue as, "I'm here to chew some bubble gum and kick some ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum".
Thrashin / 1986
It can be classified in the "It was so terribly done, that it might be better than 'Citizen Kane', category". The movie begins with a post-Goonies Josh Brolin waking up in a frenzy to get ready to go to Southern California for a series of skateboard competions. His mom has left him an ample $30 for the summer, he seems satisfied aqnd leaves. The rest of the movie consists of a constant battle between the evil skateboard gang (the daggers) and the good skateboard gang (the Ramp Locals). Should I continue? Or should you go watch it just becasue there is a battle between rival skate gangs? I will leave you with this: the skate gangs clash in a skateboarding joust competion held in deserted river wash, all while masked in face paint reminicant of a Gary Numan concert. This movie is at the pinacle of tasteless 80s trash, and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in a movie with such great lines as, "Well, I knew him when his name was Ralph and he lived in the Valley, man. Now he's Monk and he thinks he's cool."
Three Times a Lady / 1984
Exwife to ailing, delusional millionaire tries to triple her inherritance by posing as his mother, wife and daughter. Trouble arises when his maid joins the fray and pretends to be his aunt, sister and niece. This one belongs in the trash bin, even if Pia Zadora co-stars. Title song is by Zadora, not Lionel Ritchie!
This was the worst movie ever. I don't know where to start. Bad Script, bad acting. I think this movie started my life long dislike of Tom Cruise. And to top it off, Maverick and Iceman didn't get together at the end of the movie.
This movie humored the most morbid things I have ever seen, like a teenage couple running over old ladies, and littles boys on bikes, actually showing their head splitting
This movie was about a spoiled little white boy who buys a black man to be his 'toy'. The movie starred Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason. I felt this movie was just bloody stupid and dumb.
A boring exercise by a desperate director. Starring David Niven and the blonde girl from Ab Fab. Blake Edwards used old footage of Sellers and called it "new" Peter Sellers.
Trick or Treat / 1986
It's the most stupid horror film. It has Gene Simmons from Kiss and Ozzy Osbourne. A boy gets a record from the radio station DJ (Gene). The record is by his favorite rock artist that just passed away. He starts to play it backwards and the trouble begins. The rocker comes back and haunts the people who teased this boy. He kills them through electricity. The lamest movie ever!
So bad it was pathetically funny! I had to turn it off after 45 minutes because my ride to college arrived, and I had to be at school by 8:30. I probably would have watched the whole thing too. Just a really dumb movie about young girl named Wendy who becomes possessed by a troll, the hideous transformation of a good witch's husband. He plots revenge on people by turning them into hideous plant pods. The movie is so horrendous, you can't help but watch.
I don't really understand what all of the fuss about this movie was about. I can guarantee that the neon lights would be enough to send an epileptic into fits.
Worst movie ever! I couldn't even get past the neon lights and the people who turn into bikes. Does anyone know what this movie is about?
OMG!! Where to begin? Actually, it was SO BAD, it was great! Basically, it's "Weird Al", and Stanley Spadowski, ("Kramer"), running and operating a UHF station. The game shows are especially funny, with "Wheel of Fish", and "Name that Stain". (Yes, I own the video!) Also, they put in his "Beverly Hillbillies" parody into the movie. Somehow, my boyfriend found this lost treasure on a private auction, and paid well over $100 for it! What can I say? It is the best worst movie ever! I give it 2 thumbs up!
I liked it, because of Weird Al and Micheal Richard. It was like a director, writer, producer and actors took a whole bottle of no-doz and agreed for an all-nighter on a movie that was due at 6 am and started at midnight.
I just wanted to tell you all that it is not a follow up to "Purple Rain". The follow up movie was not made until 1990. So you can't say that it was a bad follow up movie when it was not a follow up movie.
Prince's unsuccessful follow up to "Purple Rain" that shouldn't been made in the first place. It was done in a black & white style that was probably an attempt to give it a 'classic Hollywood' vibe, but the movie wasn't anything interesting. At least the music was great.
The Unearthling aka Pod People / 1983
Ouch, this one hurts! Being a MST fan, I normally have a certain fondness for movies that make the cut, but this one... IT STINKS!!! "Trumpy" is a painful attempt to cash in on the (then) hot E.T. craze (excuse me while I gag on the cuteness...). One more thing, why did they use an elderly woman to dub the young boy's voice? It's creepy... but I had to laugh at the poses the various cannon fodder were forced to take when the were "struck down" by Trumpy's evil twin.
The Uninvited / 1985
Ooooh, what can I say? A cat escapes from a research facility and stows away on board a yacht owned by drugs smugglers. Being an 80's horror movie there HAS to be a bunch of teenage kids on board too, surely? Well, it's funny you should say that... The cat itself is, of course, no ordinary cat... it has a monster inside it. And, again, it's no ordinary monster. This monster is in fact a GLOVE PUPPET. Whenever the cat becomes frightened or finds itself cornered the GLOVE PUPPET BEAST launches itself from the cat's mouth and savages the victim's ankles until he/she bleeds to death. The final 'Two surviving teen geeks V's the GLOVE PUPPET BEAST' battle is as hilarious a cinematic event as has ever been screened. Forget 'Austin Powers', forget 'Dumb and Dumber', the final 5 minutes of this movie will have you gagging for air as you choke, possibly to death, on tears of laughter.
Here some graduates from Animal House (truly a classic!) and Porky's come together to win a college white water raft race, with some gags and bare breasted college girls thrown in for good measure. Definitely a movie that should be sent up river (or creek)
This was the dumbest horror movie ever. It wasn't even scary. Not even Grace Jones was believable as a vampire. Get real!
This lousy excuse for a horror film was directed by David Cronenberg, who directed a lot of crap that shouldn't have been green-lighted ("Scanners", "The Fly", etc.) This stinker involves James Woods as the president of a sleazy cable channel who discovers an S & M show that's also a snuff film. (He actually sticks the videotape in his guts!!!) No need to go into details here, but movie and the movie within the movie (if viewers aren't confused enough) also stars Deborah Harry (ex-Blondie) as one of the actors killed. What made it worse was that Cronenberg said in an interview that women were actually tortured and killed in the video, but that was proven as B.S., quite like this monstrosity.
I know it's a Bond movie, but out of all the Bond movies it sucked bad!! Roger Moore should have ended the Bond role before he made this one. He got to old for the ladies. Bad acting, plus they had Christopher Walken as the bad guy that looks ugly anyway. Bad plot, bad/corny gadgets, ugly Bond girls, bad cars, bad clothes, bad everything.
Walk Like A Man / 1987
This movie sucked from the beginning to the end. [Ed.'s note: I agree, but anything with Howie Mandel in the lead shouldn't be met with great expectations.]
The Watchers / 1986?
If there is one thing that really sucks, it's Canadian horror films. Add a lame story, stupid effects, and Corey Haim, and you have yourself the recipe of death by film. And wouldn't you know it, someone approved funding for the sequel. Blitzo suckso!
Weekend at Bernies 2 / 1988
It's a dead dude (again), same (plot?) same everything, it's stupid.
It's the worst John Hughes teen flick I've seen so far. It's unwatchable. It only proves that John Hughes and Anthony Michael Hall doesn't work all the time.
Your review says Emma Samms is in Weird Science and that is wrong. The scantily clad woman is Kelly Lebrock.
This movie said nothing to me. It was nothing but bad script writting, bad plot lines and a scantily clad Emma Samms as a robot bimbo built from the imagination of two teenaged boys. I hope that somebody got fired for this blunder.
Who is Julia? / 1986
Whoah, this movie is an insult to the medical profession, let alone the average viewer's intelligence! Mare Winningham plays a woman who dies suddenly, and becomes the recipient of a brain that was once a beautiful woman's. Julia North, the beautiful woman, is struck by a cement truck when attempting to rescue Mary Francis Bodine's (Mare Winningham) son Timmy. Julia's brain is unharmed, so doctors attempt to transplant her healthy brain into Mary Francis's body. Yikes, this movie was so bad, I had to shut it off after an hour. I know this type of surgery could NEVER happen, but it's almost sickening to watching this film.
Who's Harry Crumb / 1989
I was the only one in the theatre watching this. Basically, this is one of the low levels in John Candy's resume. Candy starred as a bungling detective trying to find out who is trying to murder a rich family's patriach...it was mostly Candy's face mugging the camera. Granted, Johncan make a good film, but not without something to go on.
Who's That Girl / 1987
By far the worst Madonna movie (which isn't really hard). I just don't get the point of this movie at all. In fact I may just do an Eternal Sunshine and erase it from my mind.
This movie was another huge flop for Madonna after "Shangai Surprise" and earned her second consecutive Razzie Award as Worst Actress.
This movie really sucked. It starred Goldie Hawn as this woman who wants to coach boys football. This movie really bites.
What can I say here. You can't remake a movie that is and always will be a classic, and if you have the audacity to do it,you can not replace Judy Garland with Diana Ross. How old was she 40? on a side note I'm sure Michael wished he could have played with the flying monkeys a little more
The Wraith / 1986
Downright stupid. Charlie Sheen went from Platoon to this sludge in less than a year. It has been nearly fourteen years since I have seen it and the only thing I can remember from the show is the car Sheen was driving. Other than that my memory only allows me to remember how embarassed I felt when I watched it for the first time.
the wraith / 1986
Well, the movie really bombed,come on but the soundtrack was wonderful. The movie is still for sale. but the soundtrack is out of print It should be the other way around.
X-tro / 1983
Probably the worst British film ever (followed by Horror Planet/Inseminoid). A man is kidnapped by aliens and "reborn" as one. (The labor scene has got to be the most disgusting on celluloid). Later, he telepathically orders his son to kill Mum and turn the nanny into an egg sac for more alien birthings. It's as stupid as it sounds, without the redeeming value of humor or scares (until the last scene, which is more gratuitous than scary).
Hey, here's a great idea: let's combine the music and styles of the 1940s with 1980s California, stick a geriatric Gene Kelly on roller skates and watch him hobble around to ELO music. Can't you just see the money pouring in?
Barbra Streisand, enough said. I'd rather watch "Just One of the Guys", a better movie that used a similar plot, a woman dressing up as a guy. Not to mention she's a popular target for ridicule. (Enter Any Rude Barbara Striesand Comment) The movie was just plain boring and still wouldn't be a good film if Barbara Striesand hadn't directed or starred on it.
Yogi's First Christmas / 1980
A 'direct to video' movie about Yogi Bear & his friends, featuring notable Hanna Barbera characters like Huckleberry Hound & Snagglepuss, singing annoying songs & saving the holiday from a crook, who looks like a cheap imitation of Yosemite Sam, minus the humor. Even as a kid, I didn't like this borefest. Though I enjoyed Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, and Auggie Doggie cartoons. But this movie lacked one thing that's important: laughs.
The only semi-cool thing about this movie is that the star was an Aussie rock star called Yahoo Serious. It's about Einstein as a teen who uses the theory of relativity to carbonate beer. He also makes an electric guitar. I bought the movie and had to PAY my friend to take it from me. :P
Zapped / 1983
Willie Aames? and Scott 'Chachi' Baio? Please if any dude had those powers, there would have been alot more naked ladies.
The Zoo Gang / 1980
I can remember watching this with friends at a very young, innocent age. We were so impressed by it. Then again, playing with rocks used to entertain us. I can't remember the movie that well, but I know it involves a club called the Zoo, some stupid teens are trying to save it, there are some bullies including a blonde white trash guy with a knife and a big goon with a Mr. T hairdo. Anyway, there's a struggle to get the club and there's training in the park, kicking practice against a wall, some old black bum guy who's always drinking (booze: it comes full circle), and pushing a bus down the street. We were so easily amused back then.
