          Ah shit, I just checked and they never made the third. That explains why I haven’t seen it yet. The franchise seems to have bankrupted two companies and is no more. There was a prequel comic though. Apparently some VFX artists sued for copyright ownership of some assets they created for the production. Despite prevailing, the defense costs did the company in.

      It’s so much fun. Genuinely terrible but in a very tongue in cheek, doesn’t take itself seriously at all, kind of way. All the actors are clearly having a great time and it’s soo funny.

        Sounds like Snakes on a Plane to me. That’s precisely what I found fun about that ridiculous film

      I feel that way about most films with Ferrell, Sandler, and Stiller. So silly and stupid that they work so light-heartedly well. You just know the set laughed their asses off plenty of times in production.

    The Matador. Its a personal favorite, but not a great movie by any rate. I love how Pierce Brosnan seems to want to break away from the 007 mold and play the exact opposite: a sleazy assassin with no class and no friends and no love.

    It’s cheesy af but I think it’s brilliant

      I think you’re confusing not being popular with not being good. The Matador was well regarded by both critics and audiences.

        I hadn’t looked at ratings tbf but you have a point.

        It’s at least a movie I never have read anybody recommend, so I don’t think it’s particularly popular

          It’s almost 20 years old at this point so that’s part of it. But I do remember it was pretty under the radar when it came out. Nobody I know has seen it unless I recommended it. It’s not the greatest reviewed movie, but reception was largely positive.

    I really like the bad crazy christmas movies in netflix. This year ‘hot frosty’ is taking the crown for ‘wtf did I just watch’ that I thoroughly enjoyed.

    You Don’t Mess With The Zohan. I was in the Middle East two decades ago and the phone dialing scene always makes me smile.

    Flash Gordon.

    _Ah aaaaaah! He’ll stand for everyone of us! Fight for everyone one of us! _

    Do you yearn for the times where a blonde beef cake becomes the greatest warrior in the universe because… football? The costumes, sets and Queen soundtrack make the movie beautiful. But the only loosely coherent plot and baffingly suggestive erotica themes firmly make it a bad movie.

      Every time I watch that movie I wonder how it got made. The elevator pitch for it is terrible. The story is corny and confusing, and it’s so unnecessarily expensive. The cast, sets, and costumes are all so over the top for something so campy. Apparently it only made back 80% of its $35M budget in the box office (Empire Strikes Back came out the same year with a $23M budget).

      It really shouldn’t exist and there’s nothing quite like it. I think I love it for that reason alone.

    Miami Connection. The bad acting and writing is endearing. I sincerely like the music and 80% of the fight choreography.

    Troll 2. There is no other movie that defines “so bad it’s good” like this one does.
