Seen all except all Police Academy sequels after the third.
Also, never seen Staying Alive (1983) .
A pretty meh group. I think I saw more than I voted for. I always felt HOWARD THE DUCK was under-rated, despite it's problems.
10/20... new record for me
big nostalgia soft spot for POLICE ACADEMY 5, I know they're all pretty terrible but I can still watch that one.
JASON TAKES MANHATTAN - always enjoy this. strangely underrated within the F13 franchise I think... ditto Part 5. two of the best entries imo
GHOULIES 2 - trash but better than part 1 and part 3 -- (I'm convinced part 4 was a completely unrelated film that somehow got wedged into the Ghoulies universe at the last minute. I actually like it, but it is never a 'Ghoulies' movie)
Howard the Duck and Jason Takes Manhattan
I saw Jason Takes Manhattan on tv as a kid
it was so bad it turned me off of horror films for a long while
Only seen JASON TAKES MANHATTAN (awful!), POLTERGEIST III (also awful), TROLL, and ZOMBIE 3.
I could be wrong but I don't think Zombie 3 (1988) had an official US release until Media Blasters released it to DVD in the early 2000s? Pretty sure I never saw it on VHS at the rental store back in the day. I do know it was available on VHS in mail order days, usually some european or asian release with burned in subtitles.
^ I seen it on Tubi.
Tubi has some great old sleaze. :cheers:
If it's got Italian zombies in it- I try to see it!

Nope
Slumber Party Massacre 2 is one of my favorite "maniac with a sharp object runs around killing girls in their underwear" type movies.
It gets extra points for the killer being a rock and roll black leather jacket wearing greaser with a drill attacked to his electric guitar as a weapon. He also came out of one of the characters dreams with no explanation who he was or where he came from. It was just great.
As a bonus, the back of the case uses a screenshot showing a stuntman in a mask.
None that I recall.
