Badmovies.org Forum

It seems like I have been reviewing a lot of "recent" movies lately.  However, now that I've been home and had some time to plan, I have a hankering some for 80's and early 90's pure cheese.  Not intended to mean good, just plain bad movies.

Anyway, the reason for the post is to find out what everyone would like to see reviewed, genre-wise.  Not enough bad action films?  More kung fu?  Where are the monster movies?

Stuff I've been thinking about:
Galactic Gigolo
The Dark (1994)
Interzone
Riders of the Storm (1986)
Transformations (oddly enough, considering ChrisK's earlier post)
Curse II
Eliminators
Spookies
Razorback
Barbarian Queen
Cave Girl  (Binche!  Growl!  Binche, binche!  GROWL!)

Undoubtedly, I will break off from my plunge into 80ish movie hell.  Not before I get a couple of those suckers reviewed though.

80's movie hell = "It's Alive: Island of the Alive"..or...

"Saturday the 14th"? lol

Spookies, Eliminators, Razorback, and Cave Girl are good choices.

Let me toss in a few others you should consider:

The Wraith
Robotjox
Yog, Monster From Space
The Alien Factor
Frankenstein Conquers The World
Battle Beneath The Earth
The Swarm
Private School
Satan's Cheerleaders
Blood Beach
Viva Knievel

Just a few others worthy of consideration.

I think Galatic Gigolo sounds like a bad film, do it! Plus, if you can, could you please do Toxic Avenger 3: Last Temptation of Toxie?

anything with Sherman Helmsley

and of course my old favorite Tomcat: dangerous desires starring the person Richard grieco

Oh wow, I would love to see a review of The Elminators! One of my favorite Empire pictures!

Gotta love the cutrate Crocodile Dundee, the chick from Star Trek, a kung fu guy, and a cyborg as a super team.

Great line:
"What's that?"--Star Trek chick Crosby
"A mobile unit."--Cyborg dude

God, I'd love to have that on Wav.

It takes a brave man to sit through the horror that is GHOST FEVER!

I will be real happy to see a "Heaven's gate" review. After all, it is 80's and weird enough (see the topic bellow), but it can wait.

Say Andrew, I am really looking forward for a review of TRANSFORMATIONS. The imdb.com plot summary is just so DULL. With your review, it would be alot more upbeat.

That movie rules!

From Charles Band and his Empire Pictures, you sure can't go wrong with ELIMINATORS. Best line: When looking at the situation, Andrew Prine says "What is this, a comic book or somethin'". He sure got that right!

Blacula
Carnival Of Blood
The Creeping Flesh
The Apple
The Magic Christian
Mister Freedom
Shanks
Skiddoo!
Son Of Dracula-1974 (it was a musical of all things!)
Space Is The Place
Ssssssssssssss

I'd love to see a review for the spookies (that would definitely fit with badmovies.org) and others like: bloody pit of horror, sting of death, and definitely some more toho kaiju other then godzilla (or their other movies like attack of the mushroom people)

Of the ones you've listed, I would love to see you rip into SPOOKIES, a personal favorite of 80s cheese. USA used to get their money's worth out of it.  I know you could have a field day poking fun of the monsters in the wine cellar that can be dissolved by wine (say that was a lucky coincidence).  

Of the rest of the list ELIMINATORS, RAZORBACK, and BARBARIAN QUEEN could all be promising. Although, RIDERS OF THE STORM is another personal favorite of mine from the old days. Gratuitous Dennis Hopper overacting; a B-29 (that never has to land or refuel apparently) operating as a flying pirate TV station; tons of 60s references; lots of slaps at yuppies, 80s trends, and the Reagan era as a whole. More people need to be exposed to this oddball flick.

"I AM a monster...a LOVE monster!"

More Kentucky-fried Girdler. But then, I'm biased.

How about some spegetti westerns. The Jango flicks would be a good start. Any thing with Lee Van Cleef (The man with the gunsite eyes!). Oh, yeah. And Clint....hey, it'd be a change of pace! Could be fun.

it's one of those movies where you always know what they're about to say, though i doubt they copped it from that guy

riders of the storm...because  i'll find comfort in knowing someone else not only has seen it, but that someone else co-habitates with an actual copy and can still sleep at night. it's not that bad i guess. it's unique...

OTHER than that...the more obscure the better...stuff not on other sites.

Oh, hey, Andrew! You know, you could probably use more Andy Milligan. I know it's sort of a hot topic now with the book and all, but he's still under-represented in the web world. And I know you've endured Rats are Coming. If you REALLY wanted to show off your intestinal fortitude, you might opt to tackle one of Milligan's 80 gore entries ... Milligan trying to do Troma. Not pretty.

I myself have plunged into a sick, twisted, moussed world of bad 80's horror cinema. I turned 30 recently, and I set myself a mission in which I will rent every horror film in my local Video Update that I've never seen ... in alphabetical order. I'm a month into the journey now, with 25 mostly 80's titles accounted for.

So far in 2002, the 80's crap standard to beat has proven to be Future Kill.

Boardinghouse, as I mentioned elsewhere, was so bad that it broke my VCR. For real.

Future Kill is one I'd like to see you wrestle with, Andrew. It might cure you of your 80's/90's crap yearnings.

The frightening thing is, I have a large number of the movies that everyone has suggested.  Even "Future Kill," though I think it is buried in the very back of the bottom shelf of my tapes (it is 3 layers deep).  And that is exactly where it is going to stay - at least for now.

I keep thinking about a review for "The Rats Are Coming!  The Werewolves Are Here!"  Something always keeps me from getting to work on a review...must be a self-preservation instinct.

Well, I am putting "Eliminators" and "Spookies" on the menu.  I will probably start working on the review for the tank/cyborg movie tonight.  I remember laughing out loud when he fell off the boat and promptly sank.

You're doing this too?  I started my alphabetical horror quest about a year ago.  Slow going though, because I don't rent movies very often.  I just pick one or two up every time I'm down there.  I'm just now making my way through the C's.

For every ten titles I slog through, there's usually one that's surprisingly good.  Of course, there's also two that are gut-churningly awful.  I think AUDREY ROSE would be the one I hated the most.  It's an EXORCIST-style movie that takes itself way too seriously, is way too boring, and is way too long.  I think it's when they go to trial to prove the existence of reincarnation the my loathing flipped to outright hatred.

I'd like to see some bad 80's sex comedies reviewed, like HAMBURGER. . . THE MOTION PICTURE.  But that's not really this site's modus operandi.  How about a B-Movie Cabal theme where you watch movies that are specifically designed to ride on the coattails of other, more popular movies?  Those are always so delightful.  Or action/sci-fi/comedies, like DEAD HEAT.  What a can't miss collection of genres for one movie to have.

I'm doing five videos a week for 52 weeks. That's the plan.  I should be up to 'C' after next week.

You can follow my progress here:

Video Update A-Z: A Personal Journey

I did Audrey Rose last month. I actually decided that if I had to spend eternity in hell watching one bad movie, I'd rather it be Future Kill than Audrey Rose.

I said this before I sat through American Scream, of course.

Dang so many good suggestions. How about some good old cheesy 80's Kung Fu movies. I love these(unless they are done right pain inducing).

I always liked HAMBURGER: THE MOTION PICTURE, just for the scene at the end with "the eating club."  

My vote would be for BARBARIAN QUEEN, but I haven't seen the others, only heard about them.

Tonights movie: BARBARIAN HAMBURGER! The story of a time traveling tribe of Hunter-gathers that open a fast food franchise in modern L.A. Starring Tom Wopat and Clu Culager. Sorry.....its one of those mondays................

are these viewings open to the public?
