Bad/Unknown/Unpopular Movies You'll Always Defend

Five minutes of The Room can produce more disbelief, surrealism and humor than many of these Syfy films put together. Truly bad movies come from spontaneity and natural ineptness, all the Asylum films can do is tick off a check list of cliches and act like if you pretend the movie is an instant camp classic, it instantly will be.  

 

That Sharktopus gif is good though, I'll give you that.

Over the Top is the best movie ever about a dad regaining the love and trust of his son by way of truckin' and arm wrestling.

I mean, when the motherfucker turns his hat, it's like a switch.

I drive trucks, break arms, and arm wrestle. It's what I love to do, it's what I do best.

When I was in fifth grade, I had a vivid and terrifying nightmare that I was on a space station and Jason had somehow gotten on board. Years later, when I saw the commercial for Jason X, I couldn't have benn more hyped because my dream was so scary it seemed literally impossible for them to fuck the movie up. It was.....not what I was expecting, let us say.

Depends on whether you mean you like it because it's stupid and trashy and fun or that you like it because you think it's actually a good movie.

Ummm ... the stupid, trashy fun option? (... scuttles back into hiding ...)

Actually, no, it's by no means a good film, but as a nice remix of the Jason series and sci-fi garbage, it ain't so bad. Creative kills, and perfect amounts of fine melted cheese. It's technically got the highest body count of any of the other films. It's definitely not the worst film of the series.

I remember one of those third tier horror magazines biting on the rumor that one of the Friday the 13th film installments would be Jason Vs. Jason X, and they speculated that it would pit the Freddy vs. Jason actor (Mears?) against Border's Jason X. I remember being jazzed for that. Then it became a two-ish comic miniseries, not a film. Womp womp.

Now, having tested the waters with that film, I'd like to dive a bit deeper ... I liked Hudson Hawk.

There is nothing wrong with liking Jason X for what it is, because it is wonderfully self aware that it is a complete parody.  From the "your horror franchise has jumped the shark if it suddenly takes place in outer space" trope to the "distract Jason on the holodeck with nude female campers" scene, you know that the movie does not take itself seriously.

 

If there is a "why is this horror franchise now set in space?" movie that is indefensible, it is the ridiculously horrible Hellraiser 4: Bloodline.  What a piece of shit.  Every Hellraiser movie after that one sucked, too, especially that dreck with the Kung-Fu Cowboy Cenobites.  What was that shit all about?

Jack Frost is one of my favorite movies of all-time. Not the Michael Keaton family film but this one

 

 

Jack Frost 2 was sad tho. I mean, he was just a father in mourning over his demon snowball children. Esp that little shit that was just lounging by the pool, enjoying a drink.

 

And I will defend all 25 movies in the following clip:

 

 

 

But people who hate Arnold movies must hate the finer things in life, like happiness, the love between man and dog, and bacon.

IIRC you are female, right? If yes, I love you. If not... you ever experimented?
