Dumbest Movie Ever...

[SeanAshi]

Attack of the killer tomatoes; Some of my friends and I rented some old suppose to be scary movies and one of them was Attack of the killer tomatoes, tomatoes rolling around on the ground and killing people :cantbeli: The next movie up is one called "The Stuff" its about eating ice cream that takes over your body and eventually kills you, or somthing like that. may not be scary but maybe a good laugh :| Has anyone ever seen these movies?

Actually, Attack of the killer tomatoes isn't meant to be taken that seriously. It's a cult-classic, mostly because it's so incredibly strange, and it wasn't even meant to be a "serious horror movie."

I've seen the movie atleast a dozen times, great fun if you're having a beer or ten with your friends (who are as fanatical about cult-classics as you.)


The next movie up is one called "The Stuff" its about eating ice cream that takes over your body and eventually kills you, or somthing like that. may not be scary but maybe a good laugh :| Has anyone ever seen these movies?
The Stuff on the other hand, was meant to be a serious movie, don't ask me why - the movie is just incredibly stupid. Something awful (http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=1480) hosts a quite comprehensive review about the movie, and concentrates especially on the utter stupidity of the plot.

the movie in question, jesus christ vampire hunter, was filmed in ottawa for $20k cdn. indeed, jesus fights vampire lesbians. the film is actually a blast, total genre tribute, and has received posi feedback from genre fans.

Sheesh lay of Harry Potter for chrissakes...it's a children's movie. Why bash a movie intended for 7 year olds when there are far worse movies intended for adults? My 2 cents;

I reserve my wrath for "serious" big budget movies intended for adults (I kind of expect the cheapo Plan-9 stuff to suck by default). My 2 cents-

Twister
Volcano
Swordfish
any "the Internet can reach out and ruin you life" movie

When I feel like I could write a more intelligent script & have more knowledge about the subject matter than the writer...I want my $@$ money back.

[catdat]

My two cents:

The Conqueror (1956)

John Wayne is cast as Genghis Khan. The movie is filmed in the Arizona Desert downwind of the Atomic bomb tests. Most of the cast and crew die prematurely but unluckily for us not before they finish the film.

A couple of memorable quoates (All spoken by JW):

"I feel this Tartar woman is for me, and my blood says, take her. There are moments for wisdom and moments when I listen to my blood; my blood says, take this Tartar woman."

"We'll chase them like rats across the tundra."

True, BHD is one of the best movie I've ever seen. And about feelings... lol, that and good music made this movie incredible.

[Grim]

I think BHD is a great film, that portraits the actual happenings on that specific day. I don'd think putting a lovestory into it would have turned out nice.. ;)

[Hullebullen]

Queen of the Damned (the semi-sequel to "Interview with a vampire -hmm...wonder if that is the correct english title?). So far it's been the only movie that I've seen at a cinema that sucked so incredibly that I considered leaving - despite the expensive swedish ticket prices...

[Gringo]

BHD is an ok film. It has it's flaws but I wouldn't call it absolute crap. However I feel it is heavily 'Patriotised' with american ideology (no offence), it's ok with most americans, but has the affect of making the rest of the world yack.

Again I mean no-offence to any of our american member (you guys didn't make it).

The Birth of a Nation (aka The Clansman)

Racist peace of crap that are still being pushed by sympathisers towards the IMDB top-100-list (slowly, but how on earth it can be at an 7.2 now is beyond me.)

Just so you understand, most people who like Birth of a Nation (and are pushing it up the IMDB top-100 list) are NOT KKK sympathizers. The movie is sickeningly racist. No one contests that. It is ALSO one of the most important milestones in cinematography, editing, and other parts of filmmaking. Griffith was the first person to structure his scenes in the manner of a modern film, and this was also the first feature-length film ever made. If you look at films before Birth of a Nation, most don't make sense. There is no real plot, no real character development. The camera tends to be entirely static, instead of using dramatic angles to enhance the emotion of the scene. And so on. Like I said, it was an absolute milestone in the mechanics of filmmaking, even though it is thoroughly and utterly reprehensible in message and theme.

It's kind of like how Wagner was a genius of a composer, even though he himself was an avowed Nazi and much of his music furthered Aryan mythology and propaganda (Ride of the VALKYRIES, for example). Just because someone says Wagner is one of the best composers of the middle of the 20th century, does not mean that they agree with is agenda.

Just wanted to toss that out there.

By the way, I thought Black Hawk Down was a very good film and absolutely packed with emotion. I'm not the best judge of its realism, being a civilian, but in terms of emotion for a viewer, I thought it was one of the best war films out there.

[ronin2172]

my vote is for Battlefield earth.....how dumb was that thing?

Men who can't read, let alone count, learn to fly a harrier by simply sitting in a flight simulator.... damn i guess the Marines, RAF, RN, and the other nations flying the harrier (or any jet) have been doing it the hard way all this time. Who needs to learn navigation, or any of that silly stuff!

the aliens wanted gold...ok, the humans go to fort knox and get them gold from there instead of mining it....ok. But how the hell did they explain turning the ore into bars, without any smelting facilities, and i guess the aliens didn't notice the markings stamped onto the gold bars....

plus the aliens were the silliest looking aliens i have ever seen.....and i read that travolta wants to make a sequel :cantbeli:

Could u give me an example of this? I'm not saying u r wrong or trying to start s**t. Since the movie is about american soldiers i wouldn't expect it to be full of america is crap sentiment. And i can't remember seeing any overly patriotic sentiment....

I don't see how u can say it didn't have "feeling" uninen, Ok they didn't spend hours showing the soldiers mourning their losses and debating the cruelty of mankind, but there were plenty of times in which the soldiers showed anger, sadness, remorse, fear....unless these emotions don't count as 'feeling'. Die hard style action? When did any ranger jump from a skyscraper with no shoes and with a fire hose tied around his waste? I don't recall any superhuman action scenes in the movie...unless u call the scene where the ranger fell out of a helicopter one .

Also i see starving student's point on the technical merits of the film Birth of a Nation...but it's message and imagery alone far outweighs any "positive" elements, but then again i am kinda biased on the topic!

[StarvingStudent47]

I agree. I've seen it once and it made me want to vomit. But I understand where art film snobs are coming from when they vote for it.

Battleship Potemkin is another, less extreme example. Its message is straight-up Leninist propaganda. But its use of montage--particularly during the Odessa Steps scene--is absolutely legendary. I'm a flag-waving American and certainly not a Communist, but that movie blew me away because of the amazing montage.

I'm not an an artsy film snob myself--I'd rather watch Indiana Jones than Citizen Kane, and I'd rather see Terminator 3 than Lost in Translation--I just wanted to explain the art film snob justification for voting for Birth of a Nation. I think art snobs, not white supremacists, are the main reason it's in the top 100 movies there...

[Grim]

I would have to agree with ronin2172. Battlefield earth is probably the worst film ever. John what where you thinkin?

I think it was supposed to be with out feeling to enhance the feeling the movie has... Think about it :p

[gaz]

"Plan nine from outer space" is a classic through it's complete crapness. I love it.

BHD is a brilliantly made film, it's well written, directed and acted but I still am not a huge fan of it and speaking as a non-American it's got nothing to do with patriotism or jingoism. The actual story of the Battle of the Black Sea is utterly incredible, there was no reason at all to fictionalise parts of it to make the film look better, for instance all the technicals in the film, in reality there were none, but a truck with a big gun on it looks cool so it made it into the film.

Personally, my vote for dumbest film ever goes to "Speed 2 - Cruise control" but I reserve the right to change my mind on a moments notice.

[Gringo]

I admit maybe I was being over exaggerated when I said BHD was 'Heavily Patriotic'.
I watched it again today as it had been so long since I had last watched it.

I don't think it is any better of a film then I originally thought.

But there are some scenes and dialogue that crop up every now and then that has the thought of 'There's No Way Like The American Way'.

One is where Eversman dodges all of that fire to throw the strobe on the roof. I don't really remember that when I was reading the book. But hey I could had missed it. But Hollywood does like to do that to films.
I think what made BHD most appealing was the never-ending combat, but if that is how it was, I can't complain.

[StarvingStudent47]

Throwing a strobe on the roof may be excessive Hollywood drama, but there's nothing "American" about it. I don't see how you get the "There's No Way Like The American Way" from it.

Reasons why I say BHD is NOT jingoistic:
1) The American President is portrayed as a short-sighted idiot.
2) Military top brass (represented by General Garrison) is shown as arrogant and overconfident.
3) There's real diversity among the soldiers. Some are idealistic, some are racist, some just wanna go home.

The only part where the movie is blatantly "go USA" is at the very beginning, when it says that aid workers returned to Somalia under the protection of USMC, and you see some Red Cross folks feeding starving people. But that's how it really happened.

[ronin2172]

I have serious problems with the person ( NOT gringo)who nominated BHD the dumbest movie of all time. Is it the greatest...no but the dumbest, hardly. For a movie to be called dumb or worst it has to have poor acting, characters, screenwriting, cinemetography, directing, editing, crappy props and costumes, and a seriously ludicrous plot/premise. Other than comparisons to the book (which is kinda dumb, as the movie only has 90 minutes to tell the story while the book has hundreds of pages) I find no fault with BHD. Now gigli that was dumb

And i'm still waiting for Uninen to show an example of "Die hard" style action from BHD

The 'Their's no way like the american way' is a good American Ideology slogan. What the strobe scene had to do with American Ideology, what Hollywood usually does to a good story.

[Uninen]

First and most of all what "sucked in BHD" was the actors, cause their the ones that fail to give the film the "feeling", and you guys are saying it was well acted? LOL and futhermore everybody that has seen that film who i know have said it "sux" as it does, and i assure you rest of these peoples that have shared this same crappy experience with BHD are no way "as anti-American" as i.. not that i actually even are, but at least according to you guys...........

Ok u don't like the acting....fine. It wasn't horrible IMO but so sorry sir lawrence oliver and sir Alec guiness weren't available! that still doesn't qualify it as the dumbest film of all time. u r saying it was dumber than Gigli? or battlefield earth? or dumb and dumberer? It is interesting that u nominated a US military movie on a site frequented by US military people....trying to bait someone perhaps? And what feelings were the movies actors supposed to display? There was plenty of feeling in the movie, i fail to see what u r trying to get at....

[Gringo]

The acting in BHD was ok, however some of the characters annoyed me to death.
Josh Harnett
Ewen McGregor and his put-on american accent (still a good actor though)

The Fantastic four.....never released but there are versions floating around on the net. Don't waste your time...i'm stll looking for those 90 mins i lost.

Maybe it was a sequel. I saw it the summer of 1994 and it was the one where the star died and they had to monkey around with it to make it work for the movies. Is that a sequel?

The one I saw totally lacked in a plot that I wanted to follow. I did not care about the characters because I really didn't udnerstand what was going on.

No, that's the original one that you saw. It's based off of a graphic novel (like a comic book, only a bit more artsy and a bit less *bam!* *pow!*), and the story is a bit surreal. And it's going to have a comic-book-ish, goth-ish feel that some people love and some people hate. And not understanding the mechanics of what's going on could easily ruin the film (it IS a bit unusual to have a main character who dies at the start of the film, and is brought back from the dead, and doesn't totally understand why, etc). But I thought character development was pretty good and the protagonists were very sympathetic (especially Sarah the skater-girl and Officer Albrecht; I'll admit that you never get to know Shelley, the deceased fiance). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

By the way, the vast majority of the film was already filmed when Brandon Lee was tragically killed. While there was some fancy stuff done to get it fully to completion, really it's only transition scenes that were monkeyed with. For example:

1) Early in the film, where Eric Draven is walking down a set of stairs shortly after rising from the dead--that's someone else's body with his face digitally added on.

2) The first-person point-of-view shot where he walks up to his apartment door and tears away the police tape was shot after Brandon Lee's death.

3) The running-across-the-rooftops scene wasn't Brandon Lee, I think. You'll notice you never see his face or hear his voice when he jumps into Officer Albrecht's car for a few seconds.

(I'm not positive on these, but I think these were the scenes that needed to be done).

First and most of all what "sucked in BHD" was the actors, cause their the ones that fail to give the film the "feeling", and you guys are saying it was well acted? LOL and futhermore everybody that has seen that film who i know have said it "sux" as it does, and i assure you rest of these peoples that have shared this same crappy experience with BHD are no way "as anti-American" as i.. not that i actually even are, but at least according to you guys...........


you know, someone is always diffrent on a topic like this, just to stand out, but if your just gonna come here and bash bhd, please please make a better excuse.. :-*$

You mean The Patriot film with Mel Gibson?
There's another film called 'The Patriot' with Steven Seagal.

Both are pretty crap films

[Fox2]

You just think it's crappy because the British are the bad guys. ;)

No it's crappy because it's the worst movie of all time

Yup. :D Bloody yanks ;)

[Fox2]

We're talkin' about the same movie, right? "The Patriot," about the American Revolutionary War, starring Mel Gibson?

I guess not.

They are both terrible but the one starring Mel Gibson was worse.

[Fox2]

Ah, I see. Okay, then yeah, I can see that.

Any movie with Steven Seagal is automatically bad. Or, should I say evil.

Edit:


They are both terrible but the one starring Mel Gibson was worse.

How do yah figure?

But "The Patriot" was just "Braveheart 2"...

Maybe it was a sequel. I saw it the summer of 1994 and it was the one where the star died and they had to monkey around with it to make it work for the movies. Is that a sequel?

The one I saw totally lacked in a plot that I wanted to follow. I did not care about the characters because I really didn't udnerstand what was going on.

No, that's the original one that you saw. It's based off of a graphic novel (like a comic book, only a bit more artsy and a bit less *bam!* *pow!*), and the story is a bit surreal. And it's going to have a comic-book-ish, goth-ish feel that some people love and some people hate. And not understanding the mechanics of what's going on could easily ruin the film (it IS a bit unusual to have a main character who dies at the start of the film, and is brought back from the dead, and doesn't totally understand why, etc). But I thought character development was pretty good and the protagonists were very sympathetic (especially Sarah the skater-girl and Officer Albrecht; I'll admit that you never get to know Shelley, the deceased fiance). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

By the way, the vast majority of the film was already filmed when Brandon Lee was tragically killed. While there was some fancy stuff done to get it fully to completion, really it's only transition scenes that were monkeyed with. For example:

1) Early in the film, where Eric Draven is walking down a set of stairs shortly after rising from the dead--that's someone else's body with his face digitally added on.

2) The first-person point-of-view shot where he walks up to his apartment door and tears away the police tape was shot after Brandon Lee's death.

3) The running-across-the-rooftops scene wasn't Brandon Lee, I think. You'll notice you never see his face or hear his voice when he jumps into Officer Albrecht's car for a few seconds.

(I'm not positive on these, but I think these were the scenes that needed to be done).

I was in LA for hte first time when I saw it and that might have been part of it. NOt a fan of LA.

Your right......Finally someone understands.

[gaz]

I don't really like "Braveheart" or "The Patriot" for the same reason I don't really like "Black Hawk Down". The story, as it historically happened of all three are amazing stories. There is no need to fictionalise parts of them, if they just told it as it happened they'd have been much better.

I know people who are still amazed when they find out "Braveheart" isn't accurate. The best one is when you tell them the truth about Princess Isabella. In the film she's this lovely young woman who looks after children.... In reality she and her lover had her husband murdered by disembowelling him with a red hot poker shoved up his arse...

So murdering someone in an especially cruel way means you cannot be loveable and caring? ;)

Equilibrium.... grrrrrr!!!!!!!
What a pile of great steamy bollocks (and I want to KILL that puppy!)


AI, Spielberg ****ted on Kubricks work, especially with the cheesy tacked on ending. Only Spielberg could turn what was originally a dark prophesy into a schmaltsy sentimental pile of ****e. :bash: :bash: :bash:

Well, I hear both Hitler and Pol Pot both liked puppies so it's certainly possible....

I poop on you. Equilibrium kicked ass. Then of course, I'll take the fact that you don't love puppies as clear evidence that your opinions can't be trusted :)

I'll agree to that.

That reminds me of Blackadder, the Baby eating Bishop of Bath and Wells.

"Have any children?"
"no"
"I'll skip breakfast then"


"A man of pure sick nature and evil could do this. Tell me, have you ever considered a career in the Church?"

that made me laugh

Indeed. It was a pretty good movie until the damn robots (or whatever the f*ck they were) woke him up. What a ridiculous piece of crap that ending was.
