GEEZ! I NEVER REALISED A BRAIN WEIGHED SO MUCH.
WHY HAVE YOU GOT A KNIFE IN YOUR HAND? I HAVEN'T IT'S IN YOUR CHEST.
A MARATHON! MY WIFE COULDN'T RUN A BATH WITHOUT FEELING TIRED.

Comedy: Manos, the Hands of Fate  is a complete disaster that makes it so funny. :wink:
Martial Arts: Pocket Ninjas, again like Manos, it is so bad that it is FUNNY
Action: hmmm, hard to say, but: The Brain from Planet Arous, Reptilicus, The Pumaman, and maybe The Creature from the Haunted Sea
yeah no.

Comedy = Evil Dead II. If you don't think it's a comedy I have to wonder about you.

Martial Arts = Master of the Flying Guillotine. Even though I haven't watched many MA films since my youth, that one always comes to the forefront of my mind whenever the topic comes up.

Another genre: Teen exploitation/delinquency films from the 50's and 60's. A small treasure trove of great badness lies in this genre. Greats such as:

The Violent Years (1956)
Dragstrip Girl (1957)
The Cool and the Crazy (1958)
High School Hellcats (1958)

To name a few. Then, of course, when they blend that with sci-fi/horror, even better:

Teenage Monster (1958)
Teenagers from Outer Space (1959)
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org
