The best part about this film is the theme song was rewritten and put on the first of Ace Frehley's solo albums. I'm not sure if Ace wrote the theme song or some member of his band did but it's exactly the same with somehow even worse.

I was a huge fan of Pauly Shore movies as a pre-adolescent. It led to me assuming one could be a tool and still get incredibly hot women. It turned out to be a false assumption.

Biodome is still a dope movie and I will fight anyone who disagrees.

Guyver 2: Dark Hero staring David Hayter is probably the worst movie from my childhood that I un-apologetically still love today.

I chalk it up to basically being a violent-as-gently caress version of the Power Rangers.

I really liked Howard the Duck when I was a kid. I still like it, but for nostalgic reasons. Same goes for the Mario Bros. movie.

This and Rock A Doodle are the best answers because they're objectively horrible movies and also terrified me as a child, there is some genuinely scary poo poo in both of those films

Isn't the principal from Ferris Bueller a loving horrifying alien in Howard The Duck???

I LOVED Krull and Ator. Basically any cheesy sword and sorcery type movie. I saw Ator in the theater when I was maybe 6 years old and in my memory it was the most intense imaginative thing I had ever seen. I thought about that movie for YEARS. How great was that huge spider at the end??
Then I found a download online and snatched that up, prepared to watch an epic fantasy movie.
What a stupid piece of poo poo movie.

Oh yeah, Bordello of Blood. That piece of poo poo movie piledrived me into puberty because dial-up internet sucked for getting porn and my dad was an indifferent jackass who left me with a TV in my room and HBO when I visited on weekends. It's a loving awful movie, start to finish, and I say that as someone who loves Tales from the Crypt and lovely horror anthologies. It's one of those movies where there's nothing good other than lots of tits to latch onto (pun intended), but it's not bad enough to be enjoyable trash.

Like, ok killing a room full of vampire prostitutes with super-soakers filled with holy water. That poo poo should be hilarious, but it's just this big bowl of plain oatmeal with a pocket pussy dropped in it. That's the whole movie, really.

I can give it this-- Angie Everhart is the best succubus I've ever seen in any media. You know every time she's in your view that she's plastic trash that isn't even that hot, but goddammit you're still falling for it. That's a succubus.

It did lead to "I'M FROM BUENOS AIRES AND I SAY KILL 'EM ALL" and I doubt we would have gotten such an absurd location without the book. It'd just be like Malibu or some other poo poo.

Speaking of, has anybody actually sat through Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam? I figure that any kid who was an Ernest fan would enjoy that movie too, but it was just one of those things that nobody really talked about. I never saw it, I never heard of anybody seeing it, I just remember that cover art and wondering what the gently caress was up with Ernest and why he had a hand on his head.

I had a brief window as a kid where I loved the Ernest stuff. That whole umbrella can be tossed into this thread, but yeah, Dr. Otto is objectively a bad movie. And I'm pretty sure part of me knew it at the time, but watching it again later, oof. A lot of the characters were brought back later when there was that weird Saturday morning Ernest sketch show for kids that he did. My favorite was the big tin-can robot with the yellow paper smiley face that would change expressions in-between shots. This guy:



Another movie for this thread: The Monster Squad. When I was a kid it was so rad seeming: They're kids...and they fight monsters! Watching it far more recently, they're kids...who fight monsters. And kids suck, and kids never shut up. And the jokes really don't land at all.

for some reason we owned a dvd copy of austin powers: goldmember and my sister who was like, 8 was obsessed with it and watched it over and over again. my mom used to heavily police the media we consumed based on other people's hand-wringing but she kind of swung the other direction when she realized it was a futile effort and other people's hand wringing had prevented all of us from seeing actually good + cool things so she completely did not give a poo poo by the time this had happened.

we hadn't seen the other two austin powers but boy do i know that movie, scene for scene, line by line. there are a few good jokes but the entire thing is just aggressively mediocre but i guess the joke hadn't worn thin by the third movie since we had only seen that one

this makes a lot of sense.
