Best so-bad-its-good films

Street Trash

Atomic train

You knew you grew up in the 90s when you genuinely believe the two above films aren't 'so bad they're good' - they're just genuinely really good 😁

I can say the same about all Nick Cage movies, Face-Off, The Rock, genuinely watching them as great, serious movies when they came out.

Still love them to this day but definitely watch them with a different set of eyes.

Could say the same for some more 90s greats like Under Siege, Broken Arrow and Hard Target.

........xenu?

Blackbird - Michael Flatley's vanity project. Laughingly so bad it has to be seen to be believed.

Brain Damage (1988)

Ace Ventura Pet Detective

I was working on the film sets. We had one colo(u)r throughout. It was a metallic blue that was more or less a glorified truck machinery paint we used on everything for the alien ships, pods, whatnot. No other colour for 5 months preproduction apart from the breakdown effects to give it a nice, used, alien look. Lol

When the movie came out the critics really torenit apart with good reason, but also because of its relation to the Church of Scientology. I can remember John Travolta in his Alien getup with the tall boots looking like a shabby version of the band KISS guy.

I actually had a lot of fun working on it, it was nice warm sunny summer spent on a lot of outdoor sets.

An American Hippie In Israel (1972). Crazy title, crazy film.

This is more like it. G.B.H. (1983). Zero budget, shot on video Mancunian gangster hardman punch em up. Bad acting, silly dialogue and porn movie style soundtrack.

Plan 9 From Outer Space

You haven’t actually seen Atomic train then.

Wood's earlier movie "Glenn or Glenda" is more watchable IMO. Plan 9 is very boring in places.

I don't know if it's too well known and successful to count, but I watched "Highlander" with my son the other night and laughed my ass off the whole way through - it has not stood the test of time at all and is relentlessly stupid despite taking itself fairly seriously.

You have Lambert playing a medieval Scot with a thick French accent; actual Scot Sean Connery playing a Spaniard, a villain who is so over the top he's practically going "mwahahaha" in every scene, terrible dialogue, a plot that makes no sense, and so on. The special effects are like something from 15 years earlier as well.

In the scene where McCloud's wife is supposed to be dying of old age, literally all they've done to age her is put some flour in her hair. Later the female love interest goes into an underground car park to search for sword fragments with a metal detector, embedded in a reinforced concrete pillar, in a room full of twisted metal. Everything about it is stupid.

Rawhead Rex

Heres the whole movie

as I said, it hasn't stood the test of time. But it's just, like, my opinion, man.

Poor Bruce was 'starring' in anything that was offered to him before his retirement.

Never heard of Cosmic Sin, but it's rare to get a 2.5 score on IMDB, it must be horrific

How about Kung Fury? Okay so it's playing with the notion of 'so-bad-its-good' rather than actually being a genuinely serious film, but I think they nailed it.
