D-Sub Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Just watched "Crank." Whoa. I was literally offended by how bad it was. I guess you're supposed to "suspend disbelief" for a movie like that, but...man... If you haven't seen it, don't. If you have...agree? What's the worst movie you've ever seen?

First sentence = not on topic. U-Turn was good, sick but good. Lock, Stock + Snatch are awesome. Actually the guy from "Crank" is in both. Jason Statham.

Kimo Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 D-Sub... you, sir, obviously have not seen Dragon Wars that came out this past summer. C5, you're pretty close with Kill Bill. I can't remember why I bothered to go see it, but damn near walked out. It got a little better when she went to see the sword maker, Hatori Hanzai, but I would still like 6 of my 7 dollars back from Quentin. Lee, I gotta disagree with you. Lock, stock and two smoking barrels is one of my all time favs along with Snatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Lee, I gotta disagree with you. Lock, stock and two smoking barrels is one of my all time favs along with Snatch. That wasn't what I was trying to convey. What I am saying a total FUBAR/SNAFU situation that I wouldn't want to be dealing with. That makes sense? I own Lock Stock and Snatch dvds. Love it very much, despite the real fubar circumstances. D-Sub, I think I know which flick youre talking about now -- Crank. Haven't seen it, and Ill take your word on it by not bothering with it. I usually look at the box office performance and from what I seen of Crank's box office, it wasn't good. -shrugs- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from the guy who posted multiple times how great and important "Zeitgeist" was, I think I'll take your movie reviews with a gain of salt. "Crank" was exactly as advertised - all action, no plot... turn off your brain and look at the cool stuff... "Kill Bill" was frickin hilarious...It was so over the top you couldn't possibly take it seriously. My son likes Dragons so we bought Dragon Wars on DVD when it came out...pretty lame...but it worked for a 7 year old... To the point - the worst movie I ever saw... gotta be "The English Patient" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 In the Name of the King gets my vote for worst movie. Statham is the lead actor again. The whole theatre was actually laughing during a few of the 'serious' scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 You guys expect people to believe any of these movies could possibly be worse than Shakes the Clown? Come on, really? For a tremendously bad film worthy of recalibrating your opinion of bad movies, try to find a copy of Jersey Guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I don't see many movies, but my tops (or bottoms actually) are things like Beyond Rangoon and Little Red Balloon. Little red balloon is some independent film or something... Foreign... No dialog (at all) and it's just 40 minutes or whatever of a little red balloon floating around town. Man, there's so many that I can't even remember too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I've seen lots of bad action movies (everything by Sylvester Stallone comes to mind) but I know what the expect with most of them - explosions, car chases, fights. I don't expect much of a plot. What I really hate is a comedy that isn't funny. The worst in this category was "Benchwarmers". Perhaps the worst movie I have ever seen. I'm supposed to believe 40-ish David Spade is barely out of high school? Jon Heder essentially replays his Napoleon Dynamite character except without any of the charm or likeability. And to top things off, there's a "robot" character that makes the robot in Rocky III (or was it IV) seem believable. Absolutely asinine. Best action film(s) I have seen in a long time was the Bourne Trilogy. I missed them when they were released so I watched all three over a weekend. Wow. Great stuff. The car chases in all three movies are right up there with the best ever put on film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you're supposed to "suspend disbelief" for a movie like that, but...man...If you haven't seen it, don't. If you have...agree? What's the worst movie you've ever seen? My vote for worst is "Breakup" with Salma Hayek ( I think ). I tried to blot the ****ing thing out of my mind. Nothing like an hour and a half of watching someone else fight. I would rather shoot nails into my foot than watch the first half hour of that again. :smashfrea:smashfrea:smashfrea:smashfrea:smashfrea:smashfrea I hated "Rent" too. Can't tell you why. Musicals in general are about as interesting as watching paint dry and this was . I walked out after my wife talked me into seeing it. Havn't stooped to watching "Crank". I did teach Amy Smart to snowboard a few years ago. Around the time Dukes was coming out. Her agent kept calling. She was nice enough, just kind of normal Hollyweird bullsh!t about going to Sundance, booking interviews and stuff. C5 - sorry you didn't like Kill Bill. Aside from the super gratuitous violence and blood, I thought it was great. Both volumes. I guess you never made it to Vol II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Ishtar. It's been voted worst movie ever made a couple times. All the songs were written by Paul Williams:barf:. It's actually sooo bad, I kinda liked it, though I am a bit of a connosseiur of really, really bad movies. Manitou is also right up there.

Beyond Rangoon was good because we get to see glimpses of P. Arquette's goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdea Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 is one of the better movies in the last 10 years Bill M is the man, that movie was the most uncomfortable movie, and it was supposed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 You guys haven't been making much of an effort to see bad movies. I think my all-time worst is "9 Deaths of the Ninja", a collection of Sho Kosugi ninja movie out-takes in 3 different film stock, cobbled together into a movie that had no plot and only one fight scene. "Crank" is high art in comparison. I thought it was a kick, myself. "Lost In Translation" is one of my favourites of the last few years.
