Sorry if this topic comes up a lot but I haven't seen one latley, and I know there's no shortage of bad movies....
my pics:
Biohazard, the director wanted to keep his kid ocupied durring filming so he had him play the monster, there's nothing like seeing a 9 year old in a monster suit terrorizing people.
Nightbeast, plot-holes, bad acting, bad effects, and the fact that the Nightbeast only seems to appear durring the day make this one of my favorite bad movies.
Dr Butcher MD aka Zombie Holocaust, basically a Zombi rip off with a few cannibals thrown in. I'm not a big fan of the Itallian horror but this is one entertaining piece of work. Gotta love the outboard motor scene.
Good choices. A review for "Nightbeast" is coming in the future; my best guess is that I will post it around late September or so.
"Dr. Butcher MD" is one that I am waiting for on DVD. I think that I have a VHS of it in my collection at present. There is a reader review for it right now. Akiratubo wrote it a long time ago, probably around 2000:

I got one. Andrew, I don't mean to rush you or bear a burden on you, but you really try and track down a copy of Ganjasaurus Rex. I'm pretty sure you can find it on eBay, because you can find pretty much anything there.

I don't have that one, but have been meaning to get it forever. In recent years, I put off obtaining a VHS copy until a DVD comes along.

I finally picked it up on DVD. I have seen it before and it pains me. Going off of memory alone, a definite skull. The dance by the tarantula girl was the best part, again going off of memory. It's as boring as "Lost Continent," but without the riveting rock climbing scenes.
There would probably be a lot of "Why am I watching this movie? Arrgggghhh!" in the article.
The Jar.
I think this turkey is only available on VHS as that's what I have it on. It came out in 1984 and the threadbare plot involves some hippie guy who is riding his motorcycle one day and comes upon an automobile accident of some sorts. He discovers a jar/bottle in the wreckage that has some kind of non descript demon/monster/alien thing in it and proceeds to take it home where it proceeds to somehow take over his mind and make him go insane, without leaving the confines of THE JAR!!!
This is easily one of the most boring movies that I've ever seen. They were trying to some kind of Cronenberg-esque cerebral approach at times and failed miserably.
This is the one flick I unleash on people who say that there hasn't been a movie that they've had to cut off before due to being too bad/boring.
Im thinkin reviews for SSSSSSS, NIGHTBREED, TROUBLE MAN, ALIENS FROM SPACE (aka Killers from Space), G-MEN FROM HELL, PHANTASM, and GHOST OF CHICKEN would be nice to see. Ive been meaning to write one for RE-ANIMATOR, but I always get distracted.
Hey I have an idea! Why dont each of us just write one review of a movie that we wanted to be on here? In a week or so we could have a dozen new reviews! Seems fairly simple.

I have to do all my posting while I'm at work being that I terminated all of my services at my house (cable/ land line/ internet ) to conserve a bit more on money so I wouldn't be able to contribute at the moment.
But there's another flick that I would like to review at some point in the future called
The Adventures of The Kung Fu Rascals starring none other than bassist/vocalist Les Claypool as the evil sherrif. :teddyr:
Here's a few:
Body Count -- Brigitte Nielsen and Sonny Chiba vs. Robert Davi and Steven Bauer.
Rectuma -- Man's grotesquely swollen rump vs. Los Angeles.
City Dragon -- MC Kung Fu vs. anyone who happens to be standing around at the time.
The Borrower -- Rae Dawn Chong vs. a sadistic head-swapping alien psychopath.
Super Fuzz -- Terrence Hill vs. a ruthless organized crime syndicate.
QuoteRectuma -- Man's grotesquely swollen rump vs. Los Angeles.
That one sounds..........well...............interesting? :question:
This can never truly claim to be THE definitive site for bad movies until someone reviews
NINJA BACHELOR PARTY. I can't do it because my local video store sold their only copy!
Earth vs. the spider - I'm sure a lot of you heard about this one.
Slappy and the Stinkers - A bunch of kids (The Stinkers) want to save a seal named Salppy... woo? :lookingup:
Godzilla vs. Megalon - The cheesiest Godzilla movie. A giant termite thing is a god to aliens called seatopians
Gamera vs. Zigra - The only movie you get to see Gamera playing a shark like a drum
One of these days I really want to take a stab at writing some of those "Reader Reviews", starting with SHE-DEVILS ON WHEELS, or maybe Dwain Esper's MANIAC.

Neither do I, but at least we'd have new reviews to read. But I agree, pictures, audio bytes and video clips would be nice, but that hasnt stopped me before.

It's definitely an odd one. Here's a link to the trailer (http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/1491) on Funny or Die.
The ALIEN's DEADLY SPAWN (1983) is great!
[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agtrqXBfiE4
and a personal favorite FRANKENSTEIN meets the SPACE MONSTER (1965) !

Terrific new avatar, RC! :thumbup:
Thanks!
Wow! After the clip of F meets the SM...they have a little scroll of clips...the last on is some kinda weird Egyptian version of ABBOT and COSTELLO meet FRANKENSTEIN! Now THAT looks wild!!!! :buggedout:
There are a lot of films I would like to get to. I've been surprised that more reviews haven't popped up on the Movie Reviews board (including the ones for submitted reader reviews). I chalked it up to the fact that it is summer, for the Northern Hemisphere at least, and most everyone is probably playing outside.
Want to know what sucks? I had intended to have a reader review for "Coffy" posted yesterday. When I went to get the movie off my reference shelf to make the captures, I found that I didn't have a copy. Had to order another from Amazon and am waiting for that to come in.
Pam Grier is my all-time favorite acress...and COFFY is my favorite film by her! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
These movies aren't necessarily 'true' b- movies, but:
Theodore Rex.- Whoopi Goldberg is a cop. And her partner is a dinosaur named Teddy. Cause he's a Tyranosaurus Rex.
Cannibal The Musical- I'd say this classifies. Honestly, I enjoy this movie, and think it's better than most people give it credit for. It was made with only $125,000. Cannibals singing and dancing in the snow eating each other= comedy gold.
Terror Firmer- Can't remember if it's been covered/reviewed. It's a Troma flick. Good/bad, depending on your view of Troma flicks. Lots of nudity, violence, swearing, etc. Plus your usual cameos by Lemmy, Ron Jeremy, and Matt and Trey of South Park fame. Good stuff.
Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part IV- I really liked it. Funny movie. Plus, there's two Toxic Avengers in it, and a cameo by the guy who played Toxie in the first one, PRIOR to the change. And there's a team of Superheroes in it, including Master Bator and Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD. And Corey Feldman is in it, along with Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf and Ron Jeremy.

I believe that there is a reader review of that on here.
One film I think belongs on badmovies.org is XTRO. In fact I submitted a reader review for it a little while ago. :teddyr:

There is. I didn't see it until after I posted, unfortunately.
Beast of Bray Road- Horror flick about a local legend in Wisconsin. Primarily a werewolf. Fun, but overall, simple B-movie, pretty low budget. Surprisingly, I didn't see the end coming. Saw it on Sci-Fi Channel today, so they edited out some of the gratuitous nudity and such.
Mortuary- Again, on the Sci-Fi Channel. A family moves into a haunted funeral home, people become possesed, etc. Fun times. Overall, not bad for a lower budget horror/sci-fi flick. Plus a scene reminded me of The Goonies.
Ken Russel's Gothic, because it happens to be a very trippy film about one of the most important events in the history of horror, the summer of 1816 at the Villa Diodati (also because it's the movie I'm reviewing next).
Flight to Mars (1951)
Project Moonbase (1953)

There's two or three in there that I really don't want to watch again, even to write a review. "The Phantom Planet" is one of my personal demons. I am happy to report that "Heavy Metal 2000" has been reviewed:
http://www.badmovies.org/movies/heavymetal2k/index.html
I love the Black Hole and Tron those are GOOD movies :smile:
The Guyver/Mutronics
http://www.hooplanet.co.uk/article.php?subaction=showfull&id=1176395101&archive=&start_from=&ucat=8,14&
'Cause it's such good fun.
Fist of the North Star - American Live Action version
The animated movie got a great badmovies review, and it was damn good, but this live action film based on it is really laughably bad.
The Nostril Picker
Never seen it, but when I see that title on the front of a Vipco Screamtime Collection DVD and I just know this belongs here.
The Deadly Spawn
I noticed RCMerchant posted this. I'm really intreagued to see this one, but I'd love to hear what Andrew thinks.
Don't Go Near The Park
http://www.hooplanet.co.uk/article.php?subaction=showfull&id=1171310033&archive=&start_from=&ucat=8&
Some consider it to be "the best bad movie of all time". I wouldn't go that far, but it is definitely unintentionally hilarious. One of the first movies I wrote about for my site.
Exorcist II: The Heretic
http://www.hooplanet.co.uk/article.php?subaction=showfull&id=1171307356&archive=&start_from=&ucat=8&
Goes without saying.

OOO! Ive heard of this one! The question is....is it any good??? :question:
La Blue Girl Live Action - Bad Bad Bad film. It is not so bad it's good, it's so bad that it's bad. Mainly all it is is breast shots and fake snakes. Quite stupid too.
Any of the Bloodfist movies - Quality low budget films at their best. You get to see Don "The Dragon" Wilson kick a lot of ass.
Ring of Fire I-III- More independent film goodness. Acting is bad at times, but there is a lot of things you can learn from those films.
Big Trouble in Little China - A great independent film. Lots of action and mediocre acting at it's finest.
Well, there's the reader reviews section and these lists just keep getting longer, so if you want to see any of these movies reviewed, you guys had best get cracking.
Personally, I'd like to see more TV show reviews. I could roll out a few reviews of my own for some of my favorite (and not-so-favorite) animes.
I was thinking about this earlier today...there's a really bad film from the 80's called "NEVER TOO YOUNG TO DIE" that I'm suprised isn't on here. Any movie featuring uncle jesse from full house, one of Prince's old girlfriends and Gene Simmons as a hermaphrodite deserves a place on this site (though I must warn, sitting through the whole thing is bound to cause an extreme amount of brain damage-REVIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!!!!).
Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny (1972)
Starfire Mutiny (2002)
Gamera, the Attack of Legion (1996)
Grim (1995)
Violent Sh*t (1989)
Killer Workout (1986)
Duel to the Death (1982)
Five Deadly Venoms (1978)
I can't believe none of the Critters movies are on there. Just watched pt 2 last night and I have part 3 ready to go on tivo :cheers:
Rolling Vengeance - it's about this dude that builds a gnarly armored monster truck to get revenge on some rednecks who killed his family. Full of bad acting, various things/people being crushed and more Jack Daniel's references than a liqour store.
Here, I've listed what I think is fifty (I may have counted incorrectly) movies that I believe should be on here.
Star Command (AKA "In the Fold"): A military space academy vs. Greedy world-conquering humans.

Kronos: A giant cardboard building tries to suck up all of the energy within Earth!
Barracuda: What's worse than a swarm of piranha? How about barracuda!
Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!: From sharks on roller coasters, to sharks in space, nothing gets better than this!
Little Panda Fighter: It would even be better if they made it with crayons....
Thunder of the Gigantic Serpent: A little girl accidentally unleashes the giant rubber snake of humanity's imminent death!
It Conquered the World: Possibly the most obnoxious alien tepee.

Death Curse of Tartu: A group of archaeology students dance and make out on an ancient burial ground, and awaken a shapeshifting Indian from the dead.
Octaman: Scientists abduct radioactive octopus-men for study, which angers their father!
Pulgasari: An evil tyrant's daughter's blood awakens a monster, who will stop at nothing to kill the tyrant.

Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor: Two teens must fight against a giant, man-eating lump of flesh!
There are still many more I'd list, but I'd say this is enough. Thanks for reading!

HOUSE OF DEATH

SPASMS
THE CRATER LAKE MONSTER
ZOMBIE 3
MAUSOLEUM

SUPERHUMAN BAROM 1
THUNDER MASK
MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS
DIAMOND EYE: WARRIOR OF LIGHT
OUT OF THE UNKNOWN
DOCTOR WHO (the old ones)
