nBad movies have been a constant since the beginning of film. Because making movies is such a gamble, what might look good on paper, could end up being completely laughable when brought to cinematic life. But of course, this fact does not stop Hollywood from making movies. Failed attempts at making respectable films keep coming out every day! The thing about films is that what one perceives as a bad film is always open to interpretation; I might find a certain film awful, while somebody else will think the same film is the best film they’ve ever seen. This is why you’ll find such diverse lists on bad films out there. For example while Howard the Duck (1986) is constantly referred to by many as one of the worst films of all time, I happen to enjoy it a lot, and so, you wont find that one on my list. But one things for damn sure: there are so many bad movies out there I could probably write fifty articles on them!

nEven though bad movie lists change with each reviewer because we all have different ideas of what makes a bad film, some films consistently pop up on everybody’s lists. These are films that we all universally acknowledge as being bad, some of these films have made it onto my list, but mind you, this is only the first part of a series of articles, there’s more bad movies where these came from! I’ve added some that I’ve seen and are very unique to my own taste. Some I have yet to watch like Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002), Manos the Hands of Fate (1966), Showgirls (1995), Cool As Ice (1991), Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964), An Allan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn (1997), Glitter (2001), The Room (2003), Son of the Mask (2005), and the king of all bad movies: Ed Wood’s masterpiece Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959). I’m actually looking forward to seeing all of these at some point.

nSome of these films are disowned by the very directors and actors that participated in making them. Some of them are expensive Hollywood turkeys that died a quick death at the box office, others are expensive pieces of crap that made a lot of dough anyways. Some are obscure straight to video releases that are so bad they deserve to be mentioned. Others are so bad you simply won’t have any desire to even finish watching them! But let’s face it, sometimes its fun to watch a bad movie. What? You’ve never purposely watched a bad movie? Take my advice, rent any of the films on this list, buy a couple of six packs and watch a bad film with your friends, you’ll be busting a gut in no time. Enjoy!

nTitle: Oblivion (1994)
n
n
n
nWhy it’s so Bad: To tell you the truth, I grew up watching a lot these ultra cheap Full Moon movies. Some of them were actually a lot of fun if I remember correctly; they never took themselves too seriously and they were just totally nuts sometimes. I still love watching Terrorvision (1986), my personal Full Moon favorite. Which is why I jumped at buying this dvd for Oblivion, a Full Moon flick that had escaped my radar. Reportedly, this was the most expensive of all the Full Moon movies, so I was expecting something special, boy was I wrong! This was the most boring film ever! Characters do nothing but talk all the time. You think that uniting the Sci-Fi and the Western genres would make for cheap laughs, but not even that. It’s sad too because the cast is composed of a pretty decent collection of b-movie celebrities like Andrew Divoff (Wishmaster) Meg Foster (Masters of the Universe) and George Takei (Star Trek)! Hell, even Julie Newman who used to play Catwoman in the old Batman t.v. show shows up! The screenplay was written by Peter David, which brought my hopes up since he’s written a bunch of Marvel Comics and a couple of other Full Moon movies (like Trancers 4 and 5) but not even that could save this boring wreck of a movie. I do not recommend this one…it just goes nowhere; I kind of get why they called it ‘Oblivion’, it’s where films like this one belong. Incredulous as it may seem, this film actually spawned a sequel! Oblivion 2: Blacklash (1996)! Actually, the sequel didn’t come as a result of the success of the first one…they were just filmed back to back.

n
n
n
nWhy it’s so Bad: Troll 2 is the king of bad movies, but it’s also the best kind of bad movie. It’s the kind that you like to re-watch because you simply cannot believe how incredibly bad it is. Why has Troll 2 garnered so much fame as “The Worst Bad Movie Ever Made?” Truth be told, everything about it is bad. You think you’ve seen bad acting and dialog? You aint seen nothing if you haven’t seen Troll 2 buddy boy! The acting and dialog is so bad on this movie you wont believe your eyes and ears. You cheeks will turn red when you hear the atrocities that these actors have to say. Not only is the dialog and acting bad, but the situations that the writers came up with are so stupid. For example, this is a film about Goblins (not trolls!) that have to turn humans into trees so they can eat them, because -get this- these Goblins are vegetarians! And they can be killed by throwing bologna sandwiches at them! You simply have to see this movie to believe it. Out of all the ones on this list, this is the must see one. Ever wanted to see a film that mixed ghosts, goblins, vegetarians, witches, Stonehenge, séances, green food, pop corn and people who turn into trees? Look no further!

n
n
n
nWhy it’s so Bad: There’s a thing about some of these truly, truly bad films, they literally make you cringe. Some scenes are so bad; you simply can’t help feeling shame. Mac and Me is one of the ones that really stirs my bowels. This abomination was some poor dopes attempt at cashing in on the success of E.T. The Extraterrestrial (1982). The story is basically the same: an alien kid gets stranded here on earth and he befriends a human child who then wants to find a way to send him back home. Sounds fair enough, an E.T. rip off isn’t exactly a bad idea; these things can make money if done properly. But therein lays the problem: this film was not done properly. At least E.T. had a personality, this Mac thing, is the ugliest little alien thing! You can tell it was made by people whose sole interest was making money. Case in point: all the freaking product placement! It really gets out of hand on this one! The most ridiculous scene in the whole film takes place inside of a Mc Donalds! The aliens drink Coca-Cola, actually, everybody does in this movie, and they do so from cups that prominently have the Coca-Cola logo on them! The aliens go into a supermarket so we can get even more product placement! To make things worse, apparently the film ran out of money and didn’t have enough budget to show the little alien all the time, so they put a costume on the little alien for a huge chunk of the movie! Finally, the film offers us a sequel during the ending credits saying “We’ll Be Back!” Thank god they never did.

Title: Knock Off (1998)
Why it’s so Bad: Well, Van Damme plays a fashion designer, that pretty much tells you how bad this one is. But seriously folks, if I aint mistaken, this was the film that marked the beginning of Van Damme’s cinematic demise. It tanked almost immediately at the box office and for good reason, it’s horrid! Van Damme has to stop a group of international knock off artists who sell black market Jeans! Holy smokes that sounds dangerous! Add to that Van Damme’s lame attempts at acting and Rob Schneider’s comedy relief sidekick character, which is the same thing he does in every other movie and you got yourselves the perfect ingredients for a disaster. Worst part of the movie? Van Damme’s hair! Not even Tsui Hark’s interesting camera moves save this one.
It’s Obvious It’s Bad Moment: Basically, when you realize that this movie is about stopping people from making knock off jeans that explode. That’s when I said, really? Is this what this movies about?

n
nTitle: Steel (1997)
n
n
n
nWhy it’s so Bad: First things first, this film was based on a spin off character that came out of the whole ‘Death of Superman’ storyline that took everyone and their mother for a ride way back in the 90’s. You see, DC had everyone going making them believe that Superman had died. Cool thing about that storyline is that after Supes bit the bullet, four super characters emerged to fill in during Superman’s absence. One of these characters was John Henry Irons a.k.a. Steel; an iron worker who was once saved from certain death by Superman. After Superman’s ‘death’ John Henry decides to become Steel, dedicating his life to repay Supes by battling crime. Sounds cool right? Unfortunately this characters transfer to the big screen was awful. The big problem for me with the film is that it completely distanced itself from the whole Superman ordeal; it was not a good adaptation of the comic book character. Hey if your film is linked to a marketable and well established character like Superman, why distance your film from that? They should have embraced the whole Superman connection! They should have gotten a real actor instead of Shaquille O Neal and they should have tried way harder to make a good film. The dialog is awful and the suit that Shaq had to wear looks clunky and uncomfortable; a missed opportunity.
n
n
n
nIt’s Obvious It’s Bad Moment: When you see that the suit that Steel wears, which is supposed to be made out of steel, actually bends as if it was made out of plastic; which it obviously was.

nTitle: Double Dragon (1994)
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nWhy it’s so Bad: The only thing this movie got right was castingnAlyssa Milano who looks extremely hot through out the whole movie, everythingnelse, is such a disappointment! This film is all about an evil douche bagncalled Koga Shuko (Robert Patrick) who wants to own the double dragonnmedallion, a mystical medallion that can grant him awesome powers. Why does henwant it? To rule New Los Angeles, cause he’s bad that way. Problem is that thenLee Brothers own the second half of the medallion, and until both halves arenunited, Shuko wont have full power. The biggest problem with this film wasngiving it to a director whose previous directorial efforts included directingnthe Billboard Music Awards for various years, directed a New Kids on the Block televisionnspecial and lets not forget he also directed Debbie Gibson and Phil Collins’snlive concerts…in other words, not the best guy to direct a feature film. Maybenthat explains why Robert Patrick’s character looks like Vanilla Ice? I don’t know.nA lot of things just didn’t work on this show. For starters, the martial artsnon this film are a joke! I mean, I know this film was pre-Matrix and want not,nbut damn, these kids look like they don’t know a damn about martial arts! In anfilm that is based on martial arts, it seems this would have been somethingnthey could have paid more attention to, but like many things on this film, thenresults were mediocre.

n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nWhy it’s so Bad: It comes to us from the director of allnthose crappy ‘Ninja’ movies that came out during the 80’s so take that for whatnits worth. But honestly, this one is terrible, so terrible it needs to be seen.nThis time around, the break dancing kids have to stop an evil corporation fromndemolishing a community center where the kids like to dance, so they decide tondo a Marathon where people can come and donatentheir money to stop the evil corporate bastards; which of course is one of thenmost generic plot devices ever put to celluloid. Recently, this same plot wasnre-used in The Muppets (2011). What makes this one so bad? Well, I found it reallynfunny that no matter what is happening, where characters go or what theyndo…everybody is always dancing, dancing, dancing! Now I realize that this is tonbe expected in a movie about break dancing, but damn, even when they go into anhospital because Ozone breaks his leg they start dancing! So much so thatnsuddenly Ozone’s broken leg is healed by the magic of dancing! One moment he isnin a wheelchair and suddenly, dancing starts to happen and voila! He’s cured!nRandom musical numbers pop out of nowhere, for no reason! To make things worse,nthis film completely ignores the ending of the first film where the kids endednup doing a show on Broadway! What happened after that night? Did their shownbomb? Did they not achieve their dancing dreams? Characters do things thatncan’t happen in real life -like dancing on the ceiling- and everybody seems tontake things like this for granted. Okay, there’s a guy dancing upside down onnthe ceiling, cool! Characters on this film are even bigger fashion victims thennon the first film, some of the stuff these guys wear, wow. What the film doesndo is serve as a nice time capsule to the crazy 80’s and, same as Troll 2, thisnone entertains because it is so atrocious.

n

n
n
n
n
nWhy it’s so Bad: Again, same as Double Dragon they justndidn’t translate the elements of the video game successfully to the screen. Thenkids who played the Super Mario games (like myself for example) wanted to seenLuigi and Mario fighting giant fire breathing turtles and jumping throughnclouds in a Mushroom Kingdom…not fighting Dennis Hopper and his de-evolutionngun or riding in stolen police cars. The film had some impressive things aboutnit, like for example its production values and art direction; reportedly thenfilm cost somewhere around 42 million. That’s a lot for the first video gamenmovie ever made. Considering that the film is based on one of the mostnsuccessful video games ever, this film should have been a huge success!nUnfortunately, the filmmakers were afraid to fully embrace the video gamenelements and so gamers all around the world hated the film. Maybe if it had notnbeen called Super Mario Bros. I wouldn’t have been as disappointed. On its own,nthe movie has it’s moments I guess. But even the actors knew this film wasngoing down the drains; both John Leguizamo and Bob Hoskins got drunk to make itnthrough the shoot. Bob Hoskins himself said that this was the worst film henever did. But without a doubt the biggest problem the film ever had was thatnthe directors wanted a more adult film, while the studio wanted a kiddy film.nThat tug of war resulted in this mess of a film. Hopefully somebody out therenwill do the game justice some day and make a decent Super Mario Bros. movie.nBut then again, we should have known better; the poster did warn us bynprominently featuring the words: “This Aint No Game!”

nTitle: Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nWhy it’s so Bad: Wow, let me count the ways…the first filmnis a serious film, a classic. It took the elements found in the Superman comicnbooks and effectively used them to bring Superman to life in a believablenfashion. The film didn’t feel like a comic book to me. It felt real. Andntherein lies the problem with Superman IV: The Quest for Peace; it feels toonmuch like a Saturday morning cartoon, or an extremely childish comic book.nWhile Gene Hackman’s Lex Luthor had always been a slightly comedic character,non Superman IV he’s turned into a silly villain, with an even silliernnephew/henchman. The big problem with this one was its budget. It started at 36nmillion and was slashed down to 17 by Cannon films who was going bankrupt atnthe time. This was actually one of their last films before going totally caput.nThe budgetary problems brought this film down in quality. The visual effects arencompletely laughable and the script; wow. Who the hell directed this film? Itncertainly wasn’t Richard Donner who had helmed the first one, but declined tondo this one. Richard Lester, the guy behind Superman III (1983) decided not to involvenhimself with this one either. Hell, even Wes Craven declined over creativendifferences with Christopher Reeves. I guess the miniscule budget scared themnall away. And with good reason, they knew they couldn’t do a proper Supermannmovie with so little money. Sidney J. Furie ended up directing. He’s the guynbehind Iron Eagle I (1986), Iron Eagle II (1988) and The Entity (1982). In thenend, Superman IV had noble intentions and themes; unfortunately the executionnwas cheesy as hell. Nuclear Man looks like something out of ‘Wrestlemania’ forncrying out loud! Characters go into space and are unaffected by the laws ofngravity or space itself! The moon looks like a cheesy set! Nuclear Mans nailsnlook like they were done in a nail salon! The cheesy/bad movie wonders neverncease with this one.

nWhy it’s so Bad: I have to do a double whammy here becausenboth of these abominations come from the same director: Marcus Nispel. Whatnbothers me about Nispel and his films is that he is given a budget, andneverything necessary to make a good movie, yet he fails. Why? Because Nispel isnmissing the most important element: talent. Marcus Nispel is a hack of andirector, sorry, but none of his films have impressed me. Okay, maybe I didnlike his take on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), but that’s about as far asnmy appreciation for this guy goes. In fact, most of his films have disappointednme. Case in point this poorly executed Conan film. It single handedly takes thenConan character and turns it into a silly cartoon. You don’t feel a connectionnto this character who comes off as something of an asshole through out thenwhole film. It’s not like when Schwarzenegger portrayed him, where you feltnidentified in a way with the character, hell, we even feel some sympathy fornConan in Millius’s film; not so with this new Conan who’s an arrogant prick.nJohn Millius, the director behind Conan The Barbarian (1982) took the characternand turned him into something believable, even if the story took place in anfantasy land. That’s what I love about that first Conan movie…it feels real.nThis thing that Marcus Nispel directed feels like a bunch of actors walkingnaround crappy looking sets and green screens. There’s something horrible aboutnNispel films, they are terribly edited to the point where you loose track ofnwhat’s going, there’s no continuity, no flow to his style of editing, this isnsomething I came to notice while watching Pathfinder (2007), Nispel’s firstnattempt at making a film that was similar to Conan, actually, it was a blatantnrip off of the original Conan film. It was obvious while watching Pathfindernthat Nispel loved Conan, Pathfinder’s story is copy pasted from Millius’s film.nAnd yet the irony! He was given the opportunity to make a bonafide Conan filmnand what does he do? He blows it. Buttom line: Nispel had big shoes to fill andndidn’t live up to the promise. Both films sucked: his Conan rip-off, and hisnactual Conan film.

The cards, which werenawesome to collect as a kid (I know because I collected them for the longestntime) simply existed to amuse and gross you out with their crazy ideas. Therenwas never a back story to the crazy drawings depicted in the cards, and thenfilm did a terrible job of giving them one.

nWhy it’s so Bad: Normally, Roland Emerich makes big budgetnbad movies that can be enjoyed on one level or another. Most of the times hisnbig budget spectacles have cool effects and action like 2012 (2009) or IndependencenDay (1996), but the fact that his movies are about as commercial and vapid asnfilms can get, there is no question. 10,000 B.C. takes the taco there. Godnwhere to begin, well, first off there are the historical inaccuracies. Nothingnin this movie makes sense! Caveman speaking in perfect English? Now thisnreally, really bothered me because cavemen spoke in their own primitivenlanguage that wasn’t even properly formed yet, they probably couldn’t evenncommunicate properly, yet on this film they are so articulate, so well versed!nEven the cavewomen look as if they’ve just put on make up? And then on top ofnall these things, we have to deal with bad CGI creatures? I was expectingnsomething like Quest for Fire (1981), but with better looking Mammoths; now there’sna good movie about cavemen! That one at least felt real, this big budgetnabomination was an insult to my intelligence. Plus, it was the same damn storynthat Emmerich used for Stargate (1994)! The characters even look alike! Then wenalso have to deal with the notion of romantic cavemen…which seemed so stupid tonme; during those days, cavemen didn’t romance women, they just grabbed them bynthe hair and had their way with them! But whatever, such is the way of antypical Hollywood blockbuster, trying to glossnthings over beyond recognition.

nWhy it’s so Bad: Thisnis one that is so bad that it’s good, how do I know this is a bad movie? Wellnfor starters this is one of those movies that is so cheap, that it’s all aboutncharacters running from one set to the other, I only counted three sets…andnthey were all half assed. The girls go from the castle, to the jungle, thennback to the castle…then back to the jungle. And the jungle set..wow, you couldntell it was a bunch of plants on a set; njust terrible, but funny in a low budget sort of way. The tag line fornthis movie was “Big Production. Big Movie. Big Girls!” Well, the got one thingnright, the one salvaging thing about this movie are the two air head blondenbimbos who star in it. They spend most of their time scantly clad, so much so,nthat the filmmakers found a way to have these girls walking around in lingerienfor most of the film! How sleazy is that!? So anyways, the film starts out withnthese two slave girls escaping their space prison (it is NEVER explained whynthey were imprisoned in the first place, they just are) and end up crashnlanding on a jungle planet. They then end up in this castle, which I swear isnstraight out of a Hammer film, where they meet ZED, the villain of the film,nwho acts and talks exactly like Count Dracula! He welcomes the girls to hisncastle and then attempts to kill them! And the things these girls say…purenb-movie gold! Example: “I am so dazzling, people have to wear sunglasses!” If it wasn’t for the one liners and thengirls, I might have fallen asleep while watching this one, because truth be told,nit is a bloody bore. Still, the cheesiness can be entertaining. Recommend thisnone if you are interested in seeing one of the worst films ever made, and laughnwhile doing it.

nWhy it’s so Bad: Some movies just make it so easy for me tonhate them. Ballistic: Eck Vs. Sever is one of them. I saw this at the movientheater (I had no idea) and the audience was actually laughing at the film!nPeople were not laughing at one liners (like in a normal action film) peoplenwere laughing at how bad the movie was! The terrible acting, the horriblynobvious green screens, the nonsensical happenings! This film was made by a filmmaker from Thailand n(Wych Kaosayananda) who had success in his country with a film he made and wasngiven the opportunity to make his first Hollywood film, unfortunately, said Hollywood film was Eck Vs. Sever. It is no surprise thisnfilm is #1 on many “Worst Films Ever Made” lists. It just makes no sense. Fornexample, the film has us follow these FBI agents, yet the film takes place in Canada ?nWhere the FBI has no jurisdiction? Antonio Banderas is obviously spewing hisnlines as quickly as possible so he can get over it and cash that check! Evennworse is the fact that the video game, which was released a few months beforenthe film, was praised more than the movie was! n

nIt’s Obvious It’s Bad Moment: When Sever crashes her carninto another one and both cars explode, she still walks away unharmed, withoutna single scratch! Guns shoot backwards…the list just goes on and on.

nWhy it’s so Bad: Leonard Part 6 (never mind the fact thatnthere were never previous Leonard movies!) is a film that is so bad that BillnCosby himself urged people not to go see it even though he starred, wrote andnproduced the damned thing! Last time I saw that happen was with Jet Li, whonpublicly despised WAR (2007) even though he starred in it. Hell, Bill Cosbynhates this movie so much that he went and bought the television rights to thenfilm so it could never air on television! Now that’s something right there! Kindnof reminds me of how Kubrick tracked down all his early films so no one couldnsee them because he was ashamed of them. But let’s face it, Bill Cosby is nonKubrick, and neither is this films director, a guy by the name of Paul Weiland.nWhat else did he direct? A lot of television that’s what! I am surprised thatnthey guy has directed more films after this terrible fiasco! It’s the kind ofnmovie that you have to keep watching, just to make sure it gets worse, andntrust me, it does. Cosby uses hot dogs to make a henchmen’s head explode intonconfetti! Since the bad guys on this movie are vegetarians (hmm, same as onnTroll II, that’s kind of weird) Leonard rubs meat on their faces to subduenthem! See it if you want to see a totally insane movie, just remember, I warnednya!
