Title: Which movie in your collection would you like to drop-kick into a pit of flames? Post by: The Burgomaster on October 15, 2003, 02:07:21 PM Which movie in your DVD or VHS collection would you like to drop-kick into a pit of flames?
Mine would be BOY IN THE PLASTIC BUBBLE. I bought this movie in the early days of DVDs (when Circuit City had one small rack with about 50 DVDs on it). It was from a really cheesy company (the name escapes me right now), and the picture quality is AWFUL. It looks like they transferred it from a bad VHS tape recorded in the EP mode. The reason that I bought it in the first place is that it is one of my favorite bad, 1970s, TV movie-of-the-week films. I can't even enjoy it as a piece of entertaining shlock because the picture quality is so bad. Title: Re: Which movie in your collection would you like to drop-kick into a pit of flames? Post by: Scott on October 15, 2003, 02:43:35 PM I have a few that I can't stand.
Worm Eaters - Just plain stupid. In the worst way. They Came from Beyond Space - ouch, good one for Andrew to review Night Fright - Worst lead up to the monster and possible monster, hardly able to finish. Bad Mans River - Only one good scene in the whole thing and to bad Lee Van Cleef is in this one. Cry Apache Blood - Boring and poorly shot western. Spooks on the Run - Only because Alpha Video has such a terrible copy otherwise it's an ok film starring Bela Lugosi and East Side Kids. I'd trade them all for just one fair one. Actually, I might just put them on the curb for pick up.

Just last night, I made a second unsuccessful attempt at watching Phoenix the Warrior. I was looking for a bad movie I hadn't reviewed, and there are few in my collection that fit that requirement. I bought it on eBay a couple of years ago, thinking it would be funny. I mean, post-apocalyptic big-haired Amazons in an action film by a porno director. Persis Khambatta is considered star power. It had to be funny but it wasn't. It was just unwatchable crap. It's sat on the shelf ever since.
Even though I needed it for work, I just couldn't finish Phoenix this time either. I stopped after about ten minutes and reviewed The Asphyx instead.

Perk on October 15, 2003, 08:46:47 PM I actually drop kicked my copy of MAster Killer out the window and into the street where I picked it up and then sold it back to the people that sold it to me. The quality was so terrible that I felt like I was watching television with the atenna all out of whack.

Post by: yaddo42 on October 15, 2003, 11:09:16 PM My copy of "Feast" a bad shot on video serial killer/cannibal movie from the early 90s starring over-the-hill porn star Sharon Mitchell with a few pointless scenes by a clearly drunk and out of it William Smith. On top of the movie sucking big time, there's no scene select, and the disc freezes up if you try to fast forward at more than 2X speed or try to rewind at all. The company is so cheap they have lots of previews listed on the previews menu screen, but less than half of them will play, on the rest a screen pops up telling you to try some of their other films for those previews. They made one menu screen for all of their discs. That's what I get for trying cheapo discs when Wherehouse Music was going out of business.

Post by: Brian Ringler on October 16, 2003, 05:08:05 AM I think I would like to do that to my copy of the bogus witch project (I got it because I liked the state quite a bit and read that it had Michael Ian Black in it, but he was only in it for a couple seconds). The only reason I keep it is because of the hidden nfl films special on O.J. Simpson (its great stuff, way better than the movie and in my opinion one of the best easter eggs on a dvd)

Post by: Bernie on October 16, 2003, 12:28:28 PM One Million AC/DC -- by this point in his downward spiral, Ed Wood couldn't even be amusing bad. It's unwatchable bad, with some of the most hideous female bodies I've ever seen on display.

Post by: StatCat on October 16, 2003, 07:40:16 PM Probably the alpha video dvd of Godzilla vs Megalon, it's not the movie- it's bad yes but I'm referring to the dvd here. The quality looks like a battered grainy third generation EP copy= it's pathetic. Alpha has improved a little with their products but this was just wrong to release.
