Best "so bad, it's good" movie and why?

JaseBelleVie

Psycho Cop (1989) is one of the cheesiest, most poorly acted "horror" films of all time. But it is so hilarious because it is so bad. The premise is actually semi-interesting and semi-original. Instead of the slasher being a random knife wielding loon, it's actually the local police officer. Handled a bit better, this could have been a quite scary and pretty good horror. As it is, it is just one of those comedically bad yet good films.

Isn't that the same as Maniac Cop from a year earlier?

There was a film called Maniac Cop?

And just reading up on it, the only difference between the two is that in Psycho Cop, the eponymous insane police officer is not a mutant. In Maniac Cop, it is a mutant.

So much for my "semi-original" statement. :P

Why it's good; dancing zombies, and hillbilly music.

Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia is a "so good, it's great" movie, tbf.

Really? Quite a few walked out of the screening I went to and I almost did too to be honest (maybe I was expecting too much).

But the laughs that I did have were belly laughs and so I stayed and endured, that's why I'd consider it a so bad, it's good film.

Another film I'd select on that basis would be 1993's..

Yes, it's seriously bad and all over the place. But entertaining if you're in the right mood.

Worth watching for the lead female vamp alone, who walks around in the buff for most of the picture.

Drive Angry is the epitome of this generalisation

I would wager that the Jason Statham vehicle, Crank, also falls into this category. Though Crank 2 simply is so bad it's actually pretty terrible.
