Hold your applause for Sean Connery's red diaper til the end of the movie...

And the great Disney certainly wasn't immune...

Savage Weekend was shot in 1976 as "The Killer Behind The Mask" (how lame) and released as "Savage Weekend" in 1981.  The Cinema Snob rightfully tears into this poopfest.

I saw this once and didn't make it all the way through.. not because it was scary, just boring.

Well, you shouldn't expect so much, it is just a movie. :wink:

Now as to the topic at hand:  Here are some bad 70's movies:

UFO: Target Earth (Opening credits are the only good part of the movie)
Planet of Dinosaurs (good FX, bad every thing else)
End of The World (Padded heavily, dumb plot points, and the characters don't care what happens)
They/Invasion from Inner Earth (all I can say is wow)
Cosmos: War of the Planets, and it's successors (you've heard of them, right?)
The Alpha Incident (the guy who made They improved; now he's as good as Larry Burchan)

That's what made it worse.. they ripped off The Last House On The Left with not only "Last House" in the title, but with the tagline from The Last House On The Left as well!  Unimaginative bastards!

Definately S.F. Brownrigg's worst film.

Got this one on a double feature with the aforementioned film......

"yesterday they were nuttin but punks killin time....today they're killin cops"

Cop Killers is one hell of a cool flick  :smile:

My picks:

Invasion from Inner Earth (1974)
Curse of the Headless Horseman (1974)
Ape (1976)
Honey Britches (1971)
Blood Shack (1971)

Yeah, it's rather bad.  A very young John Candy is in it.

Some awful Frankenstein movies from the '70's...

The Italian FRANKENSTEIN '80 (1972) starred ex-muscleman actor Gordon Mitchell as Dr.Otto Frankenstein.One bizarre scene has the monster beating a woman in a meat locker with a big bone.

BLACKENSTEIN (1972)

(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l79/RCMerchant/tumblr_lzn9fvzh7x1qf83cro1_500.jpg)

FRANKENSTEIN'S CASTLE OF FREAKS (1974) featuring this guy-calling himself Boris Lugosi!!!  :buggedout:

(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l79/RCMerchant/frankensteinscastleoffreaks-e.jpg)

Boris Lugosi was Salvatore Baccaro, who starred (so to speak) in many b-to-z italian productions like "The beast in heat" and sexy comedies. He had a flower shop, before joining showbiz.

     I caught this double bill at the Palace in Lorain, back in '73; BTW, DAUGHTERS OF SATAN starred Tom Selleck.

Exactly! I hated this film with a passion. :hatred:

Not sure how "bad" it was---I think it was meant partly as a put-on, though it's hard to tell. Still fits in fine.

Ah.. for bad foreign film afficiandos..

yes! this is awful (I karma'd you but it went wrong and says "chop" but it's for that  :thumbup:

Definitely not a bad movie... it's in the Criterion Collection.  but bad movie fans should enjoy it.

Oh come on, yes it is!  It's ridiculous, pointless and arbitrary.. and absolutely hilarious!  Bad, as in, bad-good!  :thumbup:
I can't really name anything in the Criterion ouvre, so I don't know the quality of flicks they have.  The word 'bad' can have numerous connotations, of course.  If bad in this thread is supposed to mean just plain awful, well, then this probably doesn't qualify.   :teddyr:yes! this is awful (I karma'd you but it went wrong and says "chop" but it's for that  :thumbup:

Glad you clarified.  I thought maybe it was in reference to the martial arts teacher in Angel's Brigade with the sword, or maybe that Myra Breckinridge was a transsexual and had "her" member chopped off before becoming a woman.

this either pre-dates or rips off charlie's angels, I don't care which cause it's so bad. 3 main characters but only one of them ever speaks. hundreds of random 'worker' guys get killed during the film but they're all played by the same 2 or 3 actors...truly diabolical

Well, at least we both like the movie and this is just one of those "bad" vs. "good-bad" arguments we sometimes have on this board.  Since the point of HOUSE being deliberately ridiculous and arbitrary is so that it can be hilarious, I'd say it's more along the lines of something like MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL than the other movies in this thread. In a way it doesn't fit in, but in another way it does.

Here's one I hope we can all agree is unquestionably "bad":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIKU9hzRq6k

I don't really remember what definition (if there was one) of "bad" may have been stated by the thread originator.  I just felt the director didn't quite expect people to treat the film as ridiculous camp classic material that they did (maybe I'm wrong).  But it was such busy nonsense I felt it was entertainingly silly.  Given that the film was made back in the 70s I would surmise they were somewhat serious.  My sis and I saw it as part of an international film festival, and we both fell over laughing.  A few people laughed, but not nearly like we did. :)  Glad we can agree it is enjoyable.

Oh, and I can definitely agree on Manitou.  How can that plot succeed?  :question:

Nurse Sherri.. I remember the VHS box was HOSPITAL OF TERROR, and showed severed body parts on the cover with the nurse's face glaring at the reader.  So much better than the movie.. but at least the occult professor's acting at the beginning had me falling over with laughter.  The Corpse Grinders.. I think I might have fallen asleep partway through it.

THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE 
I watched this last week; I'd seen it before, and remembered it fondly.  I'm certain that's MICHAEL GOUGH doing the ghost-voice and making that brief appearance at the end, but I didn't see him credited.  How many movies can claim that their ghost is so horrific because... he was short...?  This movie is terrible!!!

SWAMP OF THE RAVENS

(http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w234/tcrine_photos/Swamp20of20the20Ravens.jpg)

Octaman (1971) Is the obviously low budget, B-Grade horror/sci-fi flick. With the Cliche group off scientists Who go "how can it be" when sent on a science mission with Vague details and instructions. Or whatever... And part off the group is that one Science chick who gets carried by the monster at times. If you look close enough you may be able to see the zipper on the monster costume. Or maybe a bored stage hand by mistake walking on set. :)

Horror High (1974)

This actually leads me to realize I don't watch many 70's films or I just don't recognize them as from the 70's when I do watch them. 

     That was Michael Gough. Read the Richard Matheson novel; much better.

WHO ARE YOU??? :P

It's about a killer baby who's possessed by an evil dwarf that works in a strip club.
Joan Collins has a breif nude scene too.
