Graham Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Dude, that was an awesome movie. Never mind that it was campy (as it was written by Lorenzo Semple, who penned the '60s Batman TV series) and the fact that Sam J. Jones' dialogue was dubbed by someone else, but it had one of the most awesome soundtracks ever recorded. I second that Flash Gordon is an awesome movie. Anyone who disagrees is due a session with the bore-worms. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areaseven Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Here's another bomb that hasn't been much talked about. Wild Wild West (1999). The original 1960 TV series was awesome, as it introduced James Bond elements into a Western. The theatrical remake, on the other hand, was a complete stink-fest. The talents of Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branagh were completely wasted here. You can put Will Smith in a bad movie and make it watchable; this one, however, is unwatchable with or without him. Robert Conrad, who played James West in the original series, boycotted this film over unpaid royalties and racial aspects in the storyline. I didn't see this film until a couple of years later, when a friend of mine kept telling me it was the worst film ever made. I told him there are worse movies out there, and we did a Bad Movie Challenge. He made me watch Wild Wild West, while I made him watch this: Inspector Gadget (1999). Now I'm not gonna explain this anymore, as many of you have probably seen it already and got your childhood raped severely. My friend is still traumatized by this movie to this day.

areaseven Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 What if...a sci-fi film was made, and it was produced by The Asylum (Transmorphers, The Day the Earth Stopped) and John Travolta, written by Joe Eszterhas (Showgirls, An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn), Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (Date/Epic/Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans), and directed by Uwe Boll and Roger Christian (Battlefield Earth)? And it starred Shaquille O'Neal and Hayden Christensen? Would the world implode in hell then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it starred Shaquille O'Neal and Hayden Christensen? Would the world implode in hell then? You got the title wrong! The actual title of the film is not "An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn" (which makes some sense) or even "Burn Hollywood Burn: An Alan Smithee Film" (which would make the most sense), but "An Alan Smithee Film Burn Hollywood Burn." Not colon, no hyphen, nothing. At least, that's what it said in the LA Times review when it came out...for some reason, I stored that little nugget of knowledge in my long-term memory, Lord knows why...

Graham Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Here's some god awful ones: 5. I come in peace I actually watched that twice back in the day on VHS or LD......I forget. Anyway, I actually quite liked it and wouldn't mind seeing it again. Just some gun trivia as I always pay attention to who uses what in movies, IIRC, Dolph used a H&K P9S, which is quite a cool pistol and very rare to see on film and the 'Alien' pistol was actually a Calico 9mm, with a huge muzzle flash.

I will certainly step up and defend some aspects of AI. Ultimately the movie was a failure but it did contain some interesting ideas about humanity and mortality. (Similar to Contact, another movie with good potential that ultimately failed) The role that Frances O'Connor had was the best one in the film, she was great in it. The story was very dark, too dark for some..... Taksraven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest problem with A.I. is that it was 30 minutes over its running time. It should've just ended with David and Teddy stuck at Coney Island. Instead, Spielberg had to drag us into 2000 years later, where mankind is extinct and David still wants to see his mommy. Since then, I have not seen a single Spielberg movie other than Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (another one that pissed me off).

Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren will reprise their roles for this one. Also, this film disregards any of the sequels mentioned above.
