Don't let the Troma logo scare you off. Beyond Evil (1980) is not a Troma-produced movie.
Herb Freed's thrilling horror fantasy is about a married couple (John Saxon & Lynda Day George) on business in the Caribbean. They reside in an old mansion haunted by evil spirits possessing Lynda Day George.
Not your average turd. The badness is hilarious and extremely entertaining which should explain why it was part of the lineup at Quentin Tarantino's Film Festival. And you know Quentin, he only picks the cool stuff.
Zapping lasers, glowing eyes - it's like The Exorcist meets Star Wars. Here's the trailer:

my pick would have to be EATEN ALIVE

I've got the Vipco DVD of this and all the cannibalism is cut out  :thumbdown: . kind of makes the title a bit ironic

DEVIL DOLL (1964)
Before CHILDS PLAY and MAGIC (but after DEAD OF NIGHT) there was this very creepy and perverse film.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_u-D3fj0Ok&feature=related

^nice, my bro got me the Devil Doll dvd last xmas but I haven't watched it yet.

EDIT - it would be good if everyone that posts here could recommend one film, come on !

The Shaolin Invincibles (1977) - if for nothing else that the ludricrous looking Kung Fu "gorillas"...

Trying hard to think of one but the only thing I could mention is

White Commanche - 1968

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eXFwKBsDTA

William Shatner stars as Johnny Moon/Notah.  Starting the movie he is a cowboy that is riding for reasons as yet unknown till he meets himself as Notah his Commanche chief half brother.  Apparently, they have a family feud which I am for the life of me forgetting.  He (Johnny Moon) rides off after they agree to meet and settle in 3 days.  The townspeople are unsure and take him (Johnny Moon) for his brother (Notah) after a saloon girl is raped by Notah.  It is a confusing Shatner mess.  Take a look.  Nowhere else can you see William Shatner as a Native American and Cowboy.

This movie was terrible. It made me laugh.  :bouncegiggle:

HOLLYWOOD COP (1987)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl0W1rhJxoU


3:18 - Possibly the best line in movie history.  :teddyr:

Enthralling!  Oh thank God, there are several cheap-o DVD's available.


One of my favorites is Courier of Death (1984).  Watch the first 10 minutes here, and if you are as enamored as I was, the whole thing is on YouTube in pretty high quality:

While not a truely awful movie, Bad Taste is one of the best bad movies. It's only overlooked because it's so hard to find.

Italian slapstick comedy

that looks awesome. I love that kind of bad overdubbing with the voices  :thumbup:

lol at HollyWood Cop as well

reminds me of another full film on youtube called Executioner 2. someone of here recomended it but I can't remember who, same kind of thing though...

The Cold (AKA The Game) (1984).  Stereotypical millionaire with a haunted house story.  But, confusing and with enjoyably obnoxious characters. :thumbup:

I really like how the very end of the film seems to completely contradict the entire plot.

I know!  I love it!  It's so.... beautiful!  *sheds a tear* :tongueout:

I would say Leonard Part 6 as my choice because it is degraded as a movie, but it is fun to watch after working for about 5 hours in the sun.

UTOPIA (1950)
Laurel and Hardy's final film. This was made in Italy. Stan looks very ill here-it's not a real bad film-but it's hard to watch poor Stan doing slapstick-the poor guy looks like he's in pain.
I saw this on a Sunday morning waay back in the early '70's.

Run Like Hell (1995)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFtjni6qDn8

Most pathetic training sequence.....ever!  :lookingup:

Combat Shock would be my pick. One of Troma's lesser known pickups. It's not actually a "bad" movie, just really low budget. It's quite grim, and the trailer kicks ass. It's about a Vietnam vet who comes back to Staten Island only to discover that life on the streets is more treacherous than the jungles! Sort of a cross between Taxi Driver and Eraserhead.

One of my favorites, it truly achieves a Hobgoblins level of...whatever word you want to use   :bouncegiggle:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=FHgvM0A5R-8

And speaking of Hobgoblins, Rick Sloane's first movie was pretty "good" as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=LCiZJWRgTQ8

The Stay Awake is another favorite.  I've watched it 2 or 3 times.  Here's the whole darned movie if you're interested   :teddyr:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=tEtaKwf7nM8

Actually not really a bad movie.. Ernest Borgnine's VENGEANCE IS MINE (1974).  He's simply terrific in this tale somewhat similar to LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT.  His daughter (and other people) are accosted by these escaped convicts, and he goes overboard in his cruel vengeance, alienating him from his daughter.  Only towards the end does he realize he's become what he hates.  Great flick.

DEMON COP (1990)

I've posted this on the forum before, but it needs posting again. Seriously, watch this clip and try and tell me that you don't wanna see this film!?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6xsPXZ-iJY

I agree! This one gets very little love, even from ardent schlock-o-philes, but I think it's a hoot.


Here's my contribution to the thread:

New Gladiators.

Dig that "high quality" miniature work.

Lucio Fulci's silly, incredibly cheesy stab at the sci-fi/deathsport genre. Awesome overuse of star filters, chintzy production design, laughable dialogue, ridiculous costumes, shoddy special effects, a downright awesome cheeseball synth score by Riz Ortolani, endless amounts of sweaty-faced overacting, Fred Williamson sportin' a pretty sweet headband, Al Cliver playing the biggest waste of space ever to take up space onscreen, high school science project-level miniatures, and soooo much more. And, yet, it all remains surprisingly watchable. I stumbled across the movie mostly by accident. I knew a guy who was selling a bunch of crappy Italian post-nuke movies on used DVD and this was one of the flicks I grabbed up, solely because it was a Fulci flick and I'm a huge fan of Fulci's horror films. But then I waited for MONTHS to watch it because I was convinced it would be unenjoyable dung and that I'd made a huge mistake in buying it. Finally, I caved, and I stuck it in the DVD player right before bed, figuring I'd look at it a little, get the gist of it, then turn it off and go to bed. No, instead I watched it all the way through... TWICE. The second time I watched it with the audio commentary, which was done by two Troma employees (one of 'em being Trent Haaga) who, naturally, had absolutely nothing to do with the movie at all. Nevertheless, the commentary is a riot. Anyway, after that I actually started to watch it a THIRD time, but finally gave in to my need for sleep and turned it off halfway through. In any case, since then it has become a high-ranking personal favorite, and I show it to all my friends at some point. It's so BAD but in such an ENTERTAINING way, and it's ripe for the MST3K treatment (riffers will find a LOT of material to work off of here). Even if you don't like Fulci's horror stuff, if you dig really campy, really poorly made goofball garbage with a 70's sci-fi flavor you should give it a look-see. HIGHLY recommended.

Here's some more YouTube vids:



The Troma DVD release trailer (it's worth noting, by the way, that the "lovingly remastered" DVD Troma put out is, of course, about the same quality as an old VHS... however, with as tacky and schlocky as New Gladiators is, that works perfectly in favor of the film, if you ask me)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ40Ejw4YxM&feature=related



What I like to call the "danger room" scene, gives you a good idea of the laughable FX techniques (gee, I wonder if that seizure-inducing strobe light effect exists solely so the hologram characters can "appear" and "vanish" between frames, lol), the hacky over-the-top acting (the guy in the nazi hat is absolute gold, by the way, if you watch the movie all the way through a couple times, he'll quickly become one of your favorite things about it), and the overall WTF-factor at play throughout the entire picture. The music, you'll notice, is awesome, by the way.

I actually started writing what eventually became a freaking EPIC unfinished review of New Gladiators for Bearded Weirdo Reviews. Since I've recently decided to completely take down Bearded Weirdo Reviews, it seems the review will probably go unfinished. One of these days I'll see if I can track down the incomplete version and maybe post a few excerpts that explain better just what it is about New Gladiators that I find so utterly magical.

 :bouncegiggle:

I just watched a bit of Stay Awake and Demon Cop as well lol...

Stay Awake reminded me of Aerobicide

BOWANGA BOWANGA: THE WHITE SIRENS OF AFRICA
4kGmJl1_I3U

I first saw this on Elvira under the title UNTAMED WOMEN (which is a totally different movie) and fell in love with it. I then got the dvd, and have watched it at least ten times since.

Most wrestling fans are likely familiar with this one but yeah more bad movie fans probably should be as well...I consider it a bad movie must myself.

Samurai Cop

It's sad really.  This is the perfect example of a so bad that it's good buddy cop movie and not many people talk about it.  Everything is terrible, but yet so entertaining.

I saw this during its original theatrical run . . . in 3-D!

Nice one, amigo! I actually did a review of that flick (using its alternate title: Killer Workout) over at Bearded Weirdo Reviews and it ended up turning into one of the longer ones, just because I never seem to be able to run out of things to laugh about in that flick. Great stuff. I love the eight zillion seemingly neverending aerobics sequences which exist soley to assault our ears with enjoyably bad 80's cheese rock and to ravage our retinas with close-up shots of spandex-clad boobies n' booties. Huzzah!

HELL SQUAD

A gaggle of Las Vegas showgirls train to become a crack anti-terrorist squad.  I never understood why this one doesn't get  more attention.

Empire Of The Ants
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDK3IT29uoQ
Giant mutated ants and Joan Collins! I'd never heard of this but watched the whole thing on YT when I stumbled on it(it's still up) and giggled quite a bit


cool, I've found that blog and will check it out

Defenders Of Space

I was curious about that watching the other night on Netflix.  There seemed to be a lot of shots to be used for 3D. 

Everytime I'm talking to somebody and this one comes up, I can't help myself, THIS pops into my head:

"Blood Shack! Baby, Blood Shack! Blood Shack... is a little ol' place where... we can be dismembered. Blood Shack, bayyyy-beeeee!"

Midnight Madness.


can't seem to post links

her punching skills are next level, I wouldn't want to fight her

I got that on a VHS released by Amazon - it really seemed like it was R rated originally, but the Amazon version has all the T&A edited out. 

 :bluesad:  It definitely was rated R originally.

my order of Samurai Cop came through and I watched it yesterday.

a classic! with at least 15-20 scenes as funny as that nurse one  :smile: nice one for the recommendation

13th Child: Legacy of the Jersey Devil (2002) - It was so bad that after the movie ended, one of the two other people in the theater yelled, "Holy s**t, that SUCKED!"

^^ ah yeah but is it a "Bad Movie Gem" though

or just a movie that plain sucked!!

This film is going to be a cult classic. Its bad and has some good part but mostly bad.
County Road 14

This cover and the cover of Wizards of the Lost Kingdom 2 have the same guy.  Look in the right hand corner of both covers.   :bouncegiggle:

Sorceress (1982)  :thumbup:

Here's a real classic: Ants!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMosqx9Sr9k

Shockingly and surprisingly good for a TV movie.  Better than most crap on the Skiffy channel.

IT'S ALIVE (1969)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOaeFy0UuAo&feature=related

That movie is great. I second your opinion on it.

I'm a big fan of It's Alive mostly because it brings up memories of doing a version of that movie with the people I was on a local comedy show with that ended up being picked up by Troma but never released.

THE JAWS OF THE DRAGON
It's a pulp Korean gangster flick from the 70's. It's gritty, dark, sleezy and violent with music that's copied from other movies (they play the hell out of the SHAFT theme). Cool, cheezy 70's outfits too.

iufy9KQ3BWQ

some good choices in here also some stuff that I really need to have a look at.

OK. might pick which was the first thing that popped to my mind cause there's quite a few was La Bete (1975). I must warn. This film is awful. it's essentially softporn slash sleazy slash horror. The softporn part isn't sexy at all. The sleaze is deplorable and the Horror is non existent. Deep deeeep down it's trying to be artsy which it doesn't achieve. Oh and if you find animal sex truely repulsive and unwatchable defaintly stay clear.

The Navy vs. The Night Monster- It'll make you scratch your head at what the heck the producers were thinking, at the same time, grinning like an idiot at just how someone can make The Creeping Terror go faster than it already is. :thumbup:
