Of the movies listed, I
like Grease II and
Mission to Mars. As for
Highlander 2 I enjoyed "The Renegade Version" more than the original Highlander, which I didn't care for at all. I've never seen the original "The Quickening" version.
| Wasn't that based on the Disney ride? I guess it worked for Pirates of the Caribbean |
No, it's a
2001: A Space Odyssey rip-off.
| and she is way too pretty to ever pass as a guy, no matter how tough she thinks she is....hahahaha. |
I admit, I think Hillary Swank is hot. I actually sat through Karate Kid 4 just to watch her.
Oooo, ooo, ooo! There is a truly awful movie!
The Next Karate Kid.
Some other additions for the list:
Arthur 2: On the Rocks I love the original, but this johnny-come-lately sequel is dreadful.
The remake of
The Fog. I consider the original a classic, the remake almost sent me home to commit suicide. I did go right home and slip in the DVD of the original, just to purge myself. Quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen -- and that's saying something.
Red Dawn could have been a fun adventure movie about kids kicking Ruskie hiney, instead turns out to be a dark, boring, pretentious mess. Sinks itself by playing it straight, as if a group of untrained high school kids could devastate the Russian Army. Uh-huh.
The Crow 2 the less said the better.
Cannonball Run II Which I actually saw in a theater, but only because it was a double feature with
Conan the Destroyer (which is bad, but I like it anyway -- Mmmm, Grace Jones -- so leave me alone).
Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 which doesn't have Burt Reynolds, except in a bizarre cameo at the very end. Okay, virtually anything with Burt Reynolds in the 80's (with the possible exception of
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas) and definitely anything directed by Hal Needham, except the original
Smokey and the Bandit.
Hmmm, with the exception of
Red Dawn I've named all sequels and remakes....
And to add to the really bad movies that I love:
The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu. Peter Sellers, Helen Mirren, Fu Manchu, and a kidnapped lawn mower! What more needs to be said? (Not to mention Sid Caesar 20 years past his prime. This film actually ends with Peter Sellers as Fu Manchu singing his idea of a "rock" song that will enslave the world: "Rock-a-Fu." "From San Francisco to Peking/Confucius say this cat's the king!/The cops they tell you I ain't nice/But Fu knows how to fry that rice." What's not to love?) The Academy obviously never saw this film, or Helen Mirren never would have won that Oscar.
