Wondering what people’s favorite “bad” movies are. Can be low budget, box office flops, foreign, so bad it’s good, whatever. I’m pretty big on Cannon Group stuff and cheesy Turkish pop cinema (Tarkan vs. the Vikings, etc.). Mostly go for 80s stuff as that’s my generation.

    Dunno if it counts but I’m a sucker for Jean Claude van Damme movies. And the only others I can think of off the top of my head are a couple of Albert Pyuun movies called Omega Doom and Knights, really bad sci-fi flicks. I actually need to save this thread for future watching material.

      Recently watched Pyun’s Radioactive Dreams (his post-apocalyptic coming-of-age hardboiled detective sci-fi musical!) Post in Lemmy B-Movie Bonanza.

      I tried watching Knights a few week ago but the… “copy” I got switched from English to French about ten minutes in. :D I’ll try another source soon.

        Haha that looks great, going to have to check it out. It’s a little disappointing to see that there’s no cyborgs in it though. On that note, I was also going to mention the movie Cyborg because there’s a director’s cut called Slinger that makes it clear that JVCD did miracle work salvaging it for the theatrical cut of Cyborg lol.

          How did I not know this???

          • Searches for “slinger” in… the usual places ;) : “Ooh boy, that’s a lot of porn!”
          • Searches for “cyborg” in the usual places : “OK; now I see one or two results are ‘Director’s Cut’.”

          Thanks, I’m going to check it out!
