Bad Movie Criteria
Bad Movie Review: Paranormal Activity (2007)
Starring: Katie Featherston Micah Sloat Dir: Oren Peli We’re back! But for how long is anyone’s guess. This week I saw “Paranormal Activity”. Instead of writing about it, I decided to bring an element of Web 2.0 to BadMovieBlog.com and do a video review. How exciting! How contemporary! How lacking in originality! Anyway, here’s the video and what I thought... »
Bad Movie Review: Bad Taste (1987)
Starring: Terry Potter Pete O’Herne Craig Smith Mike Minett Dir: Peter Jackson Remember when stand-up comedian and cult movie megabuff Barry Dodds wrote on why “Bad can make Good“? Well he’s back, and writing about one of his favourite films. Now, I feel guilty about writing this for BadMovieBlog.com. “Bad Taste” isn’t a bad movie. However, I’m sure that many of... »
Bad Movie Review: Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
Starring: Robert Kerman Francesca Kiardi Carl Gabriel Yorke Dir: Ruggero Deodato After more than a month without an update here at BadMovieBlog.com, it took a visit to my local library where I found a copy of one of the most controversial films of all time to inspire my latest review. Ruggero Deodato’s “Cannibal Holocaust”. “Cannibal Holocaust” is one of the... »
Amputee Kung Fu
From the file marked “WTF?!” this week comes this fight scene. I don’t even know which movie it’s from. I have no idea where this clip is from. Maybe part of its charm is the fact that we don’t know anything about it. It looks like an early 90s movie from Hong Kong. Beyond that, I... »
Kung Fu vs Yoga
When an irresistable martial art meets an immovable form of meditation, only one can win – KUNG FU VERSUS YOGA. The clip you’re about to see is from a martial arts movie from the 70s called “Kung Fu vs Yoga“. Some of the action is absolutely mind-boggling in its complexity and contortionism. Do you get squeamish... »
Bad Movie Review: The Toxic Avenger (1984)
Starring: Andree Maranda Mitch Cohen (as Mitchell Cohen) Pat Ryan (as Pat Ryan Jr.) Dir: Michael Herz & Lloyd Kaufman One of the most famous bad movies, “The Toxic Avenger” became one of the first major cult hits for now infamous movie studio, Troma. Bringing their own brand of violence, camp, gore and slapstick, Troma ushered in a new... »
Toxic Avenger opens Stock Exchange
August 31st 2009 is a day that will go down in New York Stock Exchange history – Disney announced that they’d bought Marvel for $4bn. More importantly for bad movie fans, this news came minutes before the Toxic Avenger rang the opening bell to begin the day’s trading. New Jersey’s first superhero and bad movie... »
Bad Movie Review: Troll 2 (1990)
Starring: Michael Stephenson Deborah Reed Robert Ormsby Dir: Claudio Fragasso (as Drake Floyd) Often regarded as the worst horror film ever made – “Troll 2” has a cast of unknowns who mostly went on to never act again. Is it really that bad? When you press “Play” on your DVD player and sit down to watch a film that you’ve... »
Bad Movie Review: Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus (2009)
Starring: Deborah Gibson Lorenzo Lamas Sean Lawlor Vic Chao Dir: Jack Perez (as Ace Hannah) Look out! It’s viral internet movie trailer sensation cum so bad it’s good movie – the battle we’ve all (apparently) been waiting for – “Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus”! I had high hopes for “Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus” based solely on its trailer. Fanboy excitement... »
Bad Movie Review: Battlefield Earth (2000)
Starring: John Travolta Barry Pepper Forest Whitaker Kim Coates Dir: Roger Christian Two hours of my life. TWO HOURS THAT I’LL NEVER GET BACK. John Travolta’s adaptation of L. Ron Hubbard’s epic sci-fi novel could only be bad news. If you’ve ever seen “Battlefield Earth” then John Travolta owes you an apology. The disco-dancing douchebag spent millions of his own money... »
