So bad, it's good!

For every good movie there's a bad movie. While usually a bad movie just disappoints, some movies have the privilege of being a special kind of bad that renders them entertaining, campy, cult classics even. Think the Razzie Awards, Mystery Science Theater or Ed Wood films. What are some moments that made you laugh in film that weren't supposed to be funny?

This is from a movie called The Karate Girl. It's quite possibly my favorite death scene ever. It's iconic!



What hilariously bad pieces of cinema come to your mind?

Batman Ninja. Oh my lord, what the hell were they thinking with this movie? It has EVERYTHING...even a freakin' Megazord fight at the end. It's ridiculous, but it's also hilarious. The writing is terrible, the animation is all over the place, Mark Hamill isn't the voice of the Joker, and it doesn't seem to give even a single fuck about any of it. Batman, time travel, futuristic zords and summoned familiars, deal with it or turn it off. I love it.

There's also the two Fantastic Four movies which have a pretty decent cast (Chris Evans is a better Human Torch than Captain America, come at me) and do a good job at establishing a relationship between them...even if the writing beyond that is absolute garbage. This is a case of a film that has actors far too good for its script that somehow make the entire thing better just by being there. Outside of Spiderman 2 and the X-Men films that have Ian McKellan playing Magneto, these are the only Marvel films with villains who aren't painfully one note. Doom is pretty great.

Also, the entire Underworld franchise. It's like Twilight meets Hellsing, with more Twilight, but just enough Hellsing for it to be highly amusing. I actually really enjoyed Rise of the Lycans, to my everlasting shame.

The Super Mario Brothers movie is my absolute favorite movie and I would rent it all the time as a kid and could watch it over and over and over again. Bob Hopkins who played Mario hated the fact that he did the movie although this is the movie that pushed John Leguizamo's career as he was just starting out.
