Death Machines (not to be confused with the 1991 Death Machine)

They never explain at all what or why the assassins are exactly.. are the literally killing machines ?  Are they just humans conditioned to have literally no emotions to kill without conscious?   What exactly is the Villainess managing?  Who is the Bloefleld like character at the beginning and what does he represent?  That guy never makes another appearance.

and..

The Drivers Seat (1974) 

Liz Taylor was running from Interpol all over Europe for a very serious crime.. which never gets revealed.  Plus, the fact that Interpol is rather inept at actually catching her as she doesn't try very hard to hide from them.

Then.. for no reason, she wants to die... she gets killed.. the end.

yeah

Monster A Go-Go

You need to pull the cosmic switch in order to understand the line between science fiction and science fact that a masterpiece like MONSTER A GO-GO presents.

Case in point.

"Pull the cosmic switch"?  A reff to taking  LSD?

I'm paraphrasing some of the final lines of that ridiculous movie.

chainsaw midget

The remake of the Stepfrod Wives. 

Early on in the movie, one of the characters uses a woman as an ATM.  She dispenses money from her mouth.  Later we learn that the women are just brainwashed/mindcontrolled... so how was that supposed to work exactly? 



Also a more recent example...  Happy Death Day 2. 

Happy Death Day was basically Groundhog's day with a slasher theme.  They never explained why it was happening, but that was okay. 

"Happy Death Day 2U" opens with a new murder loop. The day after the events of the first movie, some other guys is murdered and immediately finds himself in the same situation as the first one.  ... except his killer is himself.  Himself from another reality.  that thinks that if he kills the other him he will stop the loop (and is talked out of it really super easily.) 

Now they go back and explain there was some weird super science machine that set the time loop up for the first movie.  The girl turned it on and got stuck in that same day.  They never explain why the second loop happens.  They never explain how every other instance just has the character waking up with all their memories of the previous day and the start of 2 has a character shunted into an alternate reality instead. 

... they also mention in both movies that the injuries the girl suffers are carrying over... except not all of the injuries and not quite as bad, or something.  Either way it's never important to the plot.

Hard Hunted (1992) from Andy Sidaris. The character of Kane is recast from a nearly 60 year old Pat Morita to  guy in his 20s, R.J. Moore, the very much non-Asian son of Roger Moore.

Didn't You Hear (1983)
Actually made in 1971, then Gary Busey got famous, & Dennis Christopher was in some movie called Breaking Away, so when cable television & home video became a thing, somebody pulled this stinker about a daydreaming college freshman outa the garbage & tried to pass it off as some sort of portrait of the hippie culture.....

So pretentious, it makes El Topo look like an ordinary western.

There's one incredibly stupid scene in which "the gang" is passing along a secret, which, in essence, becomes two different actors redoing the exact same scene over & over &over for ten minutes!

^ Hippie movies from that era are some pretty stupid s**t.
I watched one called MOONCHILD (1972). It had John Carradine! It made not a lick of f**king sense!

Here's the whole stupid, mind numbing mess!
Watch it! IF YOU DARE....! Mooohoohahaha!

Any and every single one of Godfrey Ho's movies.   None of them make a lick of sense.

Blood Sabbath.   There is very little to no blood.. Plus, the main character, a young, virile (heterosexual?) male does not want to see young, virile young women's breasts... or have them shoved in his face.

MANOS actually has a nice plot, just badly executed. Really badly executed.
