welllllllllllll,since u asked i was watching chopper chicks in zombie town and when the leader lady (can't remember her name) was riding away on her motorbike, she kicked a zombie without any arms.
The thing is, the actor, clearly had his arms stuffed into his shirt, since they bulged out. Secodly, the dude fell on the floor b4 she even kicked him! As they say timing is evrythin!

Almost any special effect from the old "Land of the Lost" TV show.  

All hail the Krofts!

So many bad effects, so little time....

In relation to those old 1950s rocket shots, I love when they show the rocket landing -- by REVERSING THE FILM OF THE ROCKET TAKING OFF!  

How about the two-headed effect in "The Thing With Two Heads" -- a bad plastic mold of Ray Milland's head held in place with a scarf/bandage thingy -- oh yeah, very believable!

I don't know if the dinosaur in Mighty Gorga was a puppet or just a toy -- I think it was a toy -- so cheap it didn't even have those doll-eyelids that go up and down!

And I'm sure all the MST fans will remember the "great" flying effects in The Pumaman -- some of the worst ever and worth every belly laugh.

In Black Roses, when the long-armed monster puppet is attacking the English teacher in the kitchen, for a moment you can clearly see the wire controlling one of its arms! Heh.

Killer Klowns - The creature in the toilet raises up too far and you see the puppeteer's arm.

Dance of the Dwarves - The creature arm on the helicopter reaches out too far and you see the actor's arm.

Remo Williams - When Fred Ward crashes through the glass near the end, it breaks before he hits it.

Most likely because you weren't watching it in widescreen....the movie was shot in a matted ratio, and theatrically you'd never see the arm because the top and bottom of the image would have been masked off for the 1.85:1 widescreen ratio.

This is a common thing that doesn't make sense when people talk about microphones and stuff like that showing up at the top or bottom of a movie....because they're not watching the correct matted-widescreen version.

Hardly qualifies it as something "bad".

Giant Claw : Oh, the missuse of stock footage...or is that redundant?
All fighter squadrons use the same type of plane. Pick a type, and stick with it! We "Wing nuts" know when you cut from one type to another!
And lets not establish the hero being in one type of transport (C-54), and show them crashing in a B-29!
Right, Ken?

Oh! When they blow up an "Assblaster" in Tremors 3, piece of the beast come flying at the heros from the totaly wrong angle!

"--people standing behind objects (such as other people) that are clearly inadequate cover and suffer no subsequent penentration trauma"

I took a military counter-terrorism course where the instructor wanted to make a point on what constitutes "cover."  He set up a bunch of targets on the other side of a car, and then shot the car with an AK-47 from 50 feet away.  After, we went around to the other side.  All the targets were swiss cheese.  The bullets went straight through both doors, or the entire trunk section.  The only target that was protected at all - and even it was hit - was the one behind the car's engine.  I'm pretty anti-gun control, but to be honest that demonstration actually changed my mind when it comes to assault weapons.

Very few movies show how guns really penetrate.  I think Saving Private Ryan is one of the few.  Well, there was also that scene in Tremors.  Usually, a movie hero hiding behind a wooden door is gonna be just fine.  Anyway, if you ever are hiding behind a car from gun fire, get behind the engine.

The 'monster' in The Creeping Terror.  Moldy carpet wearing tennis shoes...and the way the 'victims' reached up and helped it      'engulf' them...tehe!

Hey I like that scene, true the spiders were kinda (are) cheap looking but the scene is downright creepy and distrubing (and gory!)

Oh holy jeezus, how could I forget Zombi 3?  

The makeup effects in NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES, of course....

My favorite Ed Wood effect was probably BRIDE OF THE MONSTER where they put Bela Lugosi in platform shoes and have him fight Tor Johnson.  Also the scene with the nonmotorized octopus.

Whenever the Camera Operator just shakes the camera around to simulate a crash/explosion/earthquake etc...

Revolvers that hold endless amounts of ammunition...

Shotguns that can take out a car in one shot...

Bad Guys that are impervious to small arms fire, yet can be defeated by a spear/big rock/rubbish compactor...

That reminds me of "Billy the Kid Versus Dracula"  (1965) where Billy shoots and shoots and shoots at Dracula (John Carradine), all to no effect.  Dracula just stands there, no flinching, nothing.  Then Billy throws his gun at Dracula, AND HE DUCKS!!!!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
