Movies so bad that they're fun

Thank you for reminding me of this movie’s name.

Truly a movie like no other. The effects are kind of hypnotically unrealistic. It has a very unique look.

The little home movie in my mind: “The Very Angry ‘Angry Red Planet’ Movie Audience”.

The one scene that made me laugh out loud and long: When the satyr, Torgo, came out from behind a car and one of the show’s hosts—seeing what were intended to be Torgo’s goat legs—quietly muttered, “What the.”

May I suggest the beautifully titled Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell?

Trailer contains some gore. (Surprise!)

The same guys did this winner:

Starred John Agar, who was in a ton of sci-fi B movies of that period.

I saw this when I was probably 10. Scared the heck out of me, but some of the creepiest scenes have really stayed with me.

I wonder why they didn’t just call it “Journey To Uranus.”

I’m surprised I got any homework done at all, that couple of years we lived in New York…

Word is that the Minecraft movie is so bad it’s fun, so there’s that.

Oh, yeah. And John Hoyt - Wikipedia …such a B-movie staple. His looks and bearing were intended to add verisimilitude to even the lousiest of scripts. He always gave his best.

I didn’t think it was bad, exactly, but it’s certainly already become an experience. I’ll post more in The Kids Are All Right later this evening for a breakdown of the Zoomer’s first cult classic film.

My favorite “bad” good movie:

English title Planet of the Vampires which is a stupid title because 1) the direct translation Terror in Space is so much better and 2) there are no vampires in the movie! Planet of the Zombies MAYBE, but whatever!

It’s an Italian/Spanish co-production directed by Mario Bava! It’s not his best! Watch in the English dub for maximum bad/good!

What you get: the plot of 1979’s Alien in a 1965 production! Chin-to-foot tight leather “space suits”! Sub-TOS-quality alien planet soundstage! Norma Bengell! The Meteor Rejector!

But mostly the colors! Dear God the colors!

I think this one is very good and not in some ironic so bad it’s good way. The characters are dull, but the overall look and suspense are great. I even tried to steal a bit for one of my stage shows.

I mean it’s not a “SO bad it’s good” but it IS pretty bad, but it’s got a VIBE that make it AMAZING.

If that makes sense.

That looks great.

I can recommend a similar movie:

Low budget sci-fi that actually builds some suspense.

Planet of the Thick, Stiff, Upturned Collars.

(Did he say 40g atmosphere? They should all be dead. No movie!)

No one does “dream-like giallo but with full colour saturation” like Mario Bava. Gorgeous!
