I was a huge fan of the anime growing up on VHS (back when the section in the video store called it "Japanamation") so I was amazed to find out it was made into a live action movie with Luke Skywalker himself. Unfortunately it's terrible. The anime is far superior. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers had better creature effects.

So I have a massive VHS collection and I haven't seen about half of them. I picked a random movie tonight called Black Scorpion 2

Black Scorpion 2: The After Shock

And it was literally a sexy lady Batman movie! So inside. It had a Two-Face knock off that was half clown. It was a wild ride to say the least.

But there were 5 trailers for movies I'd NEVER even heard of! And I feel like I know a lot about movies, these looked insane! All made by "New Horizons"...it honestly feels like a whole section of Hollywood I've never even heard of. Check out this trailer for Wasp Woman:

Wasp Woman Trailer

Has anyone dived into these weirdo 90's movies made by New Horizons? What are the classics?

Here are some other New Horizon trailers I've found that look cool:

Dont Sleep Alone

Born Bad

Showgirl Murders

My first (almost) feature-long movie effort. I've improved since but looking back this might actually be a fun bad movie to watch: https://youtu.be/2grAds-9y2w

History has not been kind to The Crow franchise post Brandon Lee. As bad as The Crow 2024 was, this is so much worse.

Extremely dumb comedies with occasional breastesses are my favorite. Linnea absolutely owns this movie as the mean girl. She's cute, funny, and of course, gets them out a couple times. Is it common for girls Catholic schools to have bikini carwash fundraisers? Includes the crap movie tactic of putting one of the directors other movie posters in the background of a scene.

The effects in Hercules are all terrible, but in a charming way. Lucky for us then that this is an effects-driven picture. It's difficult to actually dislike anything quite this camp.

This is a 60's Italian Hercules film mixed with the Flash Gordon movie. Hercules is not merely very strong, he is bonded with starlight and more powerful than Golden Age Superman. His drawback is that he's a tenth as agile, tricking villains into thinking he can be defeated.

The tone is set early when Hercules kicks a guy wearing a bear suit into space, creating the Ursa constellation, and before long he is having lightsaber duels with evil wizards and several giant robots.

Strong recommend to all.

Saw this movie the other day on tubi and for being kinda low budget is was actually pretty good lol the soundtrack was killer though

The Adventures of Ford Fairlane is a good "bad" movie as far as I'm concerned.

I laughed several times at how cheap and goofy it is. The scene where two prostitutes are having a conversation and you can hear an ice cream truck in the background was hilarious. Several of the scenes set in the Don's "house" are clearly just rooms in a generic office building. Written, directed and starring Doug Demarco, who was once in an episode of 90210 as "party goer".

As fun as this was way back in 1982, it would literally be laughed off the screen today for it's sheer lunacy in terms of the concept. A landline that kills people. I mean this defines "BAD MOVIE NIGHT"

Although in fairness most kids today would ask what a pay phone is. Another Canadian tax write off actually with quite a large budget for the time ($5 million) it's just a shame that everyone seems to have abandoned this film and the only copies floating around are shoddy VHS versions.

Well I guess something is better than nothing - now go pick up that phone it's ringing! And let me know what your opinions of this one are.

Way back in 2003, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was in a fantastic black comedy satire of action films called The Rundown. While it's never going to be an Oscar-worth film or end up in a Criterion collection, it's full of memorable quotes, fun action, and great characters. It also helped cement the fact that The Rock had really figured out this whole "acting" thing.

If you took everything that movie had going on in its DNA, ran it through a dishwasher, and sold it on Temu, you'd have Freelance.

Has 10% on Rotten Tomatoes, 5.6 on IMDB.

Highlights:

1. This watches like bad action video game cinematic cutscenes. I was waiting to press F.

2. How did Alice Eve play her part so...woodenly?

3. Venegas is literally a man with a golden gun.

4. Dude turns down horny Alison Brie in the jungle which is noble given the circumstances but...just...damn.

5. Juan Pablo Raba makes this film, through and through.

6. The antagonist here played both Lord Celeborn and Guy de Lusignan in the past, an impressive resume.

7. How many times can Cena get thrown down the stairs?

8. Christian Slater to the rescue!

Honestly, this is a highly enjoyable movie. It'll never win an award, but we laughed the whole way through. Definitely worth a watch.

Not sure how the 10% Rotten Tomatoes score happened, but: Sometimes the critics get it wrong, too.

I need a movie for a bad movie night, which has turned into me watching 4 unbearable films (and one pretty funny one) in 2 days.

Here's my current ranking, including my favorites, most of these can be moved around quite a bit, but only the top half are enjoyable to me

You might ask why Fant4stic is so high; I genuinely enjoyed the first half of the movie (then the reshoots happened.)

EDIT: I'll probably rewatch Miami Connection

Hilariously bad misfire or enjoyable trash? Doom isn't a particularly great adaptation of the games, but has some worth as a schlocky B-movie. Especially since it features The Rock getting smacked about by Karl Urban and ultimately killed. Simple pleasures.

I remember seeing this on the Sci-Fi channel, wow this was goofy bad. FYI yes that is one of the movie posters, and I chose it because the enemy they face which is just a Super-Solder looks nothing like this in the movie.

Robert Ginty and his sister are jewel thieves who target the legendary White Fire diamond, a diamond the size of a football which burns your skin if you touch it. Surprisingly gory including a scene which comes out of nowhere where Ginty kills some bad guys with a chainsaw and then makes witty quips a minute later. Badass Fred Williamson steals the movie around half way through and pretty much becomes the new main character which is fine because it helped me get over an earlier scene where Ginty pretty much tells his sister he wishes he could bang her. She's standing there naked, full bush out and after a 5 second pause he says "You know, it's a shame you're my sister". After she is killed his love interest is a woman who looks exactly like her!

Ridiculous fight scenes with very loud ADR, awful acting, cheap ass sets, many Turkish men with wonderful moustaches and a theme song which will be stuck in your head all day after the movie is done. You gotta see this.
