Title: Bad movies that made you go "huh?
Post by: Svengoolie 3 on September 18, 2019, 11:38:49 PM
One thing about a lot of 50's B movies,  they explained s**t to you. Movies like them! and rastantula! explained things and even had educational  films about the bugs involved. Them! explained ant biology in detail down to the losing of the wings.

Then some bad movies don't  explain a damn thing.  A movie like "the wraith" just leave me feeling left out and that there should have been some explanation for the dead guy coming back in the super scifi car and taking body parts and glowing machine pieces and WTF?!?!

But no explanation at all.

Thast was one example of a bad movie thastmjust didn't explain a damn thing send nothing was ready understandable in it. What movkes left you scratching your head and going "Huh? "

THE HITCHER (1986) - Most people seem to really like this movie. The first time I saw it I hated it because it never explained anything. I admit that I think it's okay now. But just okay.

Most of my favorite BAD movies of all time don't make a lick of sense.
Take BLOOD FREAK, for example. Would smoking pot turn you into a murderous turkey headed monster that drinks blood?
Of course not! No explanation is given as why this happens -but who cares?

Monster A Go-Go

You need to pull the cosmic switch in order to understand the line between science fiction and science fact that a masterpiece like MONSTER A GO-GO presents.

Case in point.

"Pull the cosmic switch"?  A reff to taking  LSD?

LSD in 1965 was not a big deal. You gotta be kidding if you read some kinda deep meaning in MONSTER A GO GO.
That would be the stupidest s**t I ever heard.
Of course I am talking about one of the stupidest movies of all time. I also happen to love it for some obscure reason, so-wtf was I talking about?  :question:

Monster A Go-go
Beast of Yucca Flats
Fun In Balloonland
Octaman
The Starfighters

I serious understand the plot to Manos better than those listed above. Hell I understand the plot to The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies better.

Death Machines (not to be confused with the 1991 Death Machine)

They never explain at all what or why the assassins are exactly.. are the literally killing machines ?  Are they just humans conditioned to have literally no emotions to kill without conscious?   What exactly is the Villainess managing?  Who is the Bloefleld like character at the beginning and what does he represent?  That guy never makes another appearance.

and..

The Drivers Seat (1974) 

Liz Taylor was running from Interpol all over Europe for a very serious crime.. which never gets revealed.  Plus, the fact that Interpol is rather inept at actually catching her as she doesn't try very hard to hide from them.

Then.. for no reason, she wants to die... she gets killed.. the end.

yeah

I'm paraphrasing some of the final lines of that ridiculous movie.

The remake of the Stepfrod Wives. 

Early on in the movie, one of the characters uses a woman as an ATM.  She dispenses money from her mouth.  Later we learn that the women are just brainwashed/mindcontrolled... so how was that supposed to work exactly? 



Also a more recent example...  Happy Death Day 2. 

Happy Death Day was basically Groundhog's day with a slasher theme.  They never explained why it was happening, but that was okay. 

“Happy Death Day 2U” opens with a new murder loop. The day after the events of the first movie, some other guys is murdered and immediately finds himself in the same situation as the first one.  ... except his killer is himself.  Himself from another reality.  that thinks that if he kills the other him he will stop the loop (and is talked out of it really super easily.) 

Now they go back and explain there was some weird super science machine that set the time loop up for the first movie.  The girl turned it on and got stuck in that same day.  They never explain why the second loop happens.  They never explain how every other instance just has the character waking up with all their memories of the previous day and the start of 2 has a character shunted into an alternate reality instead. 

... they also mention in both movies that the injuries the girl suffers are carrying over... except not all of the injuries and not quite as bad, or something.  Either way it's never important to the plot.

Hard Hunted (1992) from Andy Sidaris. The character of Kane is recast from a nearly 60 year old Pat Morita to  guy in his 20s, R.J. Moore, the very much non-Asian son of Roger Moore.

Didn't You Hear (1983)
Actually made in 1971, then Gary Busey got famous, & Dennis Christopher was in some movie called Breaking Away, so when cable television & home video became a thing, somebody pulled this stinker about a daydreaming college freshman outa the garbage & tried to pass it off as some sort of portrait of the hippie culture.....

So pretentious, it makes El Topo look like an ordinary western.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0213613/ (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0213613/)

There's one incredibly stupid scene in which "the gang" is passing along a secret, which, in essence, becomes two different actors redoing the exact same scene over & over &over for ten minutes!

^ Hippie movies from that era are some pretty stupid s**t.
I watched one called MOONCHILD (1972). It had John Carradine! It made not a lick of f**king sense!

Here's the whole stupid, mind numbing mess!
Watch it! IF YOU DARE....! Mooohoohahaha!

Any and every single one of Godfrey Ho's movies.   None of them make a lick of sense.
Not
A
Single
One.

Blood Sabbath.   There is very little to no blood.. Plus, the main character, a young, virile (heterosexual?) male does not want to see young, virile young women's breasts... or have them shoved in his face.

MANOS actually has a nice plot, just badly executed. Really badly executed.

I watched Albert Pyun's "Nemesis" a couple of nights ago.

By about the halfway point I had completely lost the plot. Cyborgs are trying to take over the world, so a cop is assigned to recover a micro chip that can stop it (I think?) aided by his ex-girlfriend's consciousness, which has been downloaded onto a tablet computer. Also, Tim Thomerson and Brion James and a bunch of Asian dudes try to kill him repeatedly, blah blah blah.

After a while I gave up trying to follow the story and just watched stuff explode.

It probably didn't help that the lead character was played by French muscle dude Olivier Gruner, whose accent was even more impenetrable than Jean Claude Van Damme's.

I'm going to bring up a dead horse that's probably been floogged to death already..but what the heck: 

The Phantom Menance.

Who is the main character? What is the story?  What is the plot? Aside from some light saber scence and blasters blasting.. whawt happens?  Can anyone today tell me? i've been trying to figure it out for 22 years!

It’s an episodic plot with an ensemble cast, as such there’s no single main character, & the plot can’t be summed up with a simple complication/climax/resolution graph.

The story, in a paragraph: Two wizards are sent to solve a dispute, but things go badly, so badly they must escape. While hiding out, they discover a boy who could grow up to be a powerful wizard. They try to recruit him for their order, but still must try to solve the dispute that brought them there in the first place.
