It wasn't until 2024 that the world understood how perfect it was to cast John Leguizamo as Luigi.

He's always been a pest to society...

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I finally got around to watching that after the missus kept referring to him as the pest guy.

As soon as well started the movie she just went "you're going to hate it"

She was not wrong. How the man continued to have a career after that is anyone's guess.

Oh there are so, so many awful movies that I loved as a kid that I have a positive memory of but would be better off not watching again to ruin that memory.

Legend would have to be one of them. It’s still a spectacle to watch, and Tim Curry is incredible as Darkness, Robert Picardo is Meg Mucklebones, but it’s so far over the top it’s a fever dream.

Cave Man with Ringo Star, Shelly Long, and Dennis Quaid. Laughed so hard I cried when I was a kid. Watched it again not too long ago and it’s pretty bad.

Whoopee Boys, same as Cave Man. Cannot rewatch.

Buckaroo Banzai, Revenge of the Nerds, so many other bad movies I loved as a kid. Most of the cheap action films too. Schwarzenegger’s, Stallone’s, Van Damme’s…so bad, lol. There were some absolutely great ones, though…the original Predator (‘87) comes to mind.

Fun fact, the two leads were drunk most of that movie because, well, because they were the two leads in that movie.

The directors, yes two of them, were horrible to work with according to pretty much everyone that worked on it.

[–] vaguerant@fedia.io 29 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Spare a thought for the animatronic Yoshi who remained stone cold sober for the entire shoot.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 8 points 20 hours ago

That thing was so cool, and disappointing, at the same time. We didn't care though, we were kids. It was awesome.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I like to imagine Bob Hoskins was a fun drunk

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 8 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I picture him as a fun cross between Capt Hook and Eddie (from Roger Rabbit) when drunk. Im down for it.

1999's The Night of the Headless Horseman. Very '90s CG but if you're able to get past that it's amazing, one of my top two favorite tellings of the tale, with voice actors including Mark Hamill, Clancy Brown, Tia Carrere, Bill Fagerbakke, and William H Macy.

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 13 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

idk if it was terrible because I haven't watched it in over 20 years.. but that'd be Space Jam for me. Watched it so often, the VHS gave out and we had to buy it a second time.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 hours ago

Space jam holds up fine. I was an adult when it first came out I got to watch it recently with the kids.

It's not like I'd pay to go watch it in the theater but if it was on, I wouldn't turn it off.

The OG Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter movies are dope. I don't care what anyone else says.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago (6 children)

I don't think I've seen the Street Fighter movie, but Mortal Kombat rocks.

[–] scops@reddthat.com 7 points 19 hours ago

The first MK movie was the archetypal "It's good... for a video game adaptation" movie for a long time. Luckily now we have great adaptations (not necessarily movies though) to point to that stand on their own merits.

But yeah, there's always a part of me that will have fond memories of MK and the JCVD Street Fighter movie. Hell, add Double Dragon to that list.

Thomas and the Magic Railroad. (2000) So bad it led to the franchise getting bought by ~~SHiT~~ HiT Entertainment. Less said about the show after that the better. Still, the OST is a bop, and Neil Crone was entertaining as hell to watch as Diesel 10.

[–] Xabis@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

He-man. I still don’t get the hate it received.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 20 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

Disney's The Black Cauldron. Apparently it was so bad it like...almost killed off Disney animation for good? But I loved that shit as a kid. No idea why we had it, either. I was born almost a decade after it came out. Eilonwy deserves her place with the Disney Princesses, damn it!

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

Wait, that movie bombed?? I really enjoyed that one as a kid! I even rewatched it as an adult and still enjoyed it!

Granted it had more of a "gritty" feel comparatively, but still excellent IMO

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

I saw that in I think Carnegie Hall with an orchestra doing the music when it got released. The kids such as myself liked it but the parents were silent.

I love that movie

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

The Last Dragon. It's a blacksploitation movie that was trying to mirror popular kung fu movies, but "in the ghetto".

It's cringe. The fight scenes are meh. The plot is.... something to do with a kidnapping maybe?

It has some cool glowy bits. 10/10.

North [1994] for me!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't know how They Live ended up having two professional wrestlers giving us the worst fight scene since Kirk took on a Gorn.

But at least we got some badass one liners.

[–] scops@reddthat.com 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I hope you're not referring to this fight between Keith David and Roddy Piper. First, Keith David's never been a wrestler, and second, it's a hilariously awkward, unnecessary, and drawn out fight that deserves love, not scorn.

Was there some other fight with a pro wrestler in the movie that I forgot about? It's been a while since I saw it and didn't see any wrestlers I recognized in the main cast.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 14 hours ago

That’s a brilliant fight. You can think of it more as a very concise second act rather than a hilariously drawn-out fight scene.

[–] ace_of_based@sh.itjust.works 8 points 21 hours ago

That film is well beyond bad, it's so, so bad it's actually amazing. I try to get as drunk as the actors when i rewatch it every other year or so

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Ice Pirates, Hudson Hawk, and Mario Bros are my favorite bad movies.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Hudson Hawk is the most 1991 movie to ever exist, it's so bad and I've seen it so many times. I think it was my favorite movie for a year or two.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

🎶 Would you like to swing on a star... 🎵

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 2 points 12 hours ago

His love of "crooner" hits and his search for a good cappuccino throughout the movie are absolutely Bruce Willis traits and it's one of the things I liked, it's a real character trait but still kind of quirky and random, it's just such fun movie.

[–] sunglocto@lemmy.zip 6 points 21 hours ago

Hot wheels Exceleracers but it's not a bad movie
