    Have you tried doing a Google search? That's what people do with words they've never heard of.

    Like everyone else, you can go YIFY it.

    Nope, that's it. The trailer is the only funny part about that movie. Still not convinced? Here's Jeremy Jahns' take on it:

    After reminiscing the good old days of comedy with The Kentucky Fried Movie, I've decided to test the limits of my pain threshold and watch the one film that tried to replicate KFM's formula and wound up being one of the worst films ever produced: Movie 43. As the trailer says: Once you've seen it, you can't unsee it. After seeing this, I challenge you all (especially DuelGundam2099) to watch Movie 43 without pressing Stop or throwing up. Here's Chris Stuckmann to tell you more...

    Early reviews are up, and they are what you expected. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 50% "The bloat of this latest entry -- at 165 minutes, the longest of the lot -- suggests that Michael Bay and his team are struggling to rejuvenate the whole premise." - Clarence Tsui, The Hollywood Reporter "Imagine a little boy, playing with his Transformers in front of a mural that he's created from clippings of his favourite films. Now give that boy a couple of hundred million dollars; voilà." - Blake Howard, 2UE That Movie Show "Transformers: Age of Extinction has appalling dialogue, deplorable representations of women, un-self-aware action sequences, very little humour and racial stereotyping. In other words, it's a Michael Bay movie." - Dov Kornits, Filmlink (Australia) "For audiences seeking the same polished, vacuous grand scale spectacle that has become synonymous with both the series and its director, Transformers: Age Of Extinction gives the series a new lease of life." - James Marsh, Screen International

    Spiritually, Amazon Women is a sequel, as John Landis directed several segments of it. "... and the capital of Nebraska is Lincoln!" Another classic scene:

    The Kentucky Fried Movie KFM Films/United Film Distribution Co., 1977 Shout! Factory, 2013 Directed by John Landis (The Twilight Zone: The Movie, The Blues Brothers) Written by Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker (Airplane!, The Naked Gun) Running Time: 83 minutes Rated R for violence, nudity, sexual situations and profanity. "The popcorn you're eating has been pissed in. Film at 11." Cast Too many to name. See IMDb for a full cast listing. "Moscow in flames, missiles headed toward New York. Film at 11." Lowdown Remember when sketch comedy films were actually funny? Yes, majority of the segments were random, but the really funny bits were worth the admission. Sadly, recent attempts such as 2013's Movie 43 ultimately killed the format by being completely devoid of watchability. "What was that? This is not a chawade. We need total concentwation." To fully understand the value of sketch comedy films, one must look back at the 1977 film The Kentucky Fried Movie. It simulates a random flipping of TV channels with segments that spoof news shows, the oil crisis ("Argon Oil"), porno films ("Catholic School Girls in Trouble"), sex education ("The Wonderful World of Sex"), Blaxploitation films ("Cleopatra Schwartz"), disaster films ("That's Armageddon"), Hare Krishna monks ("Willer Beer"), stunt shows ("Danger Seekers"), and the demand for a better movie experience ("See You Next Wednesday in Feel-a-Round"). But perhaps the crown jewel to this film is "A Fistful of Yen", a parody of Enter the Dragon featuring a Bruce Lee lookalike with an Elmer Fudd accent. Martial artists Evan C. Kim and Bong-soo Han are hilarious in their impersonations of Bruce Lee and Han, respectively. Other segments feature appearances by veteran actors such as Bill Bixby (1934-1993) (David Banner in The Incredible Hulk), George Lazenby (James Bond 007 in On Her Majesty's Secret Service), and Donald Sutherland (Kiefer's old man). "All kinds of disasters happen in the U.S. Film at 11." Unbeknownst to today's moviegoers, The Kentucky Fried Movie boosted the careers of those behind the camera. Director John Landis went on to helm National Lampoon's Animal House, The Blues Brothers and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video before being sent to court for The Twilight Zone: The Movie on-set tragedy. The Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker trio created a string of comedy hits such as Airplane!, Top Secret! and The Naked Gun before splitting up to do their separate projects with mixed results - David Zucker with BASEketball, Scary Movie 3 and 4, Jim Abrahams with Hot Shots! and Hot Shots! Part Deux, and Jerry Zucker with Ghost and First Knight. "Rams plagued by fumbles as earthquakes rock Los Angeles. Film at 11." If you're in the mood for some mindless comedy, go pick up The Kentucky Fried Movie and its sequel Amazon Women on the Moon. They don't make comedies like these anymore. "Take him to Detroit!" Rating: A- References The Internet Movie Database "I'm not wearing any pants. Film at 11."

    I think this is enough for me to avoid Pearl Harbor.

    Something new for Duel to rant about.

    I just finished a Bad Boys marathon, and I have to say that Bad Boys II was not as horrible as expected. It has the typical forced comedy and ridiculously long running time synonymous with Michael Bay films, but having seen ROTF four times in theaters, I consider Bad Boys II to be a guilty pleasure film. Still won't touch Pearl Harbor with a 10-foot pole, though.

    Just dusted off this DVD after nearly a decade. Still an underrated classic.

    Someone beat them to a female Expendables movie. And to no surprise, it's The Asylum. Mercenaries - Starring Kristanna Loken (BloodRayne, T-X in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines), Brigitte Nielsen (Red Sonja, Ludmilla Drago in Rocky IV), Vivica A. Fox (Jasmine in Independence Day, Vernita Green in Kill Bill), Cynthia Rothrock (China O'Brien, Cindy in Righting Wrongs), and Zoë Bell (Herself in Death Proof, Tall Witch in Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters).

    This is Jeremy Jahns' very first video review, as ROTF scarred him for life. He also revealed that Michael Jackson died shortly after watching ROTF. Conspiracy?
  23. areaseven
    Come on - it can't be any worse than ROTF or Pearl Harbor. I know Bad Boys II has a lot of bad reviews, but how bad can it be compared to other buddy cop films such as Lethal Weapon 3-4, Rush Hour 3 and the Starsky & Hutch remake?

    The Island was probably the only Michael Bay film that put me to sleep. Having seen a lot of '70s and '80s dystopian films, this one really brought nothing new to the table (and I've never seen Parts: The Clonus Horror). Armageddon has a bad script, but it's easily a guilty pleasure film - with significantly much better replay value than the other falling object film Deep Impact. I gotta go dust off Bad Boys and The Rock. Haven't seen Bad Boys II, but now I'm tempted because of its reference in Hot Fuzz. And I'm not touching Pearl Harbor with a 10-foot pole. That said, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the worst of all the Michael Bay films on my list.
