Einherjar Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 "Reign of Fire", had that picture with a Dragon getting ready to fight with a bunch of Apache Helicopters, somehow that scene didn't make it into the movie though. The trailer showing Matthew McConaughey leaping to hit the dragon with an axe looked cool, until you saw the movie.
eugimon Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 The trailer showing Matthew McConaughey leaping to hit the dragon with an axe looked cool, until you saw the movie. Are you guys kidding? The dragon eats Matthew McConaughey, that alone makes it one of my favorite movies.
anime52k8 Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Are you guys kidding? The dragon eats Matthew McConaughey, that alone makes it one of my favorite movies. but it DIDN'T eat Christian Bale.
areaseven Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 but it DIDN'T eat Christian Bale. If it did, Bale would've yelled at the director and the camera crew.
anime52k8 Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 If it did, Bale would've yelled at the director and the camera crew. thanks for reminding me about that,
Agent ONE Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 ... "Reign of Fire", ... That movie was still good. Totally doesn't belong in this discussion. Korny action movie, totally fun.. B+
areaseven Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Technically, this isn't sci-fi, but given the physics displayed, it is. Deadly Prey
anime52k8 Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Technically, this isn't sci-fi, but given the physics displayed, it is. Deadly Prey Did he just beat a guy to death with his own arm? WTF?!?!
reddsun1 Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 LOLOL!!! You can almost hear it as he's running... ooh! ow! ooh! ow! ooh! owee! ouch!
Vostok 7 Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Where do the grenades come from?!? Do I want to know?
taksraven Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 That movie was still good. Totally doesn't belong in this discussion. Korny action movie, totally fun.. B+ Agreement on Reign of Fire. After the shite reviews it got I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it. Not shakespeare, but not meant to be either..... Taksraven
electric indigo Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 "Reign of Fire" is one of my favourite B-movies. Astonishing FX, great post-apocalyptic drama, and Matthew McConaughey acting his ass off was fun to watch. Do we already have an "underrated movies" thread?

Marzan Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Technically, this isn't sci-fi, but given the physics displayed, it is. Deadly Prey This movie is definitely not sci-fi, but it manages to make Steven Seagal movies seem exalted and rare pieces of art...
Dynaman Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Did he just beat a guy to death with his own arm? WTF?!?! that's great, I haven't seen someone do that since "The Sword and the Sorcerer" (it would qualify for worst fantasy film of all time)
Marzan Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 that's great, I haven't seen someone do that since "The Sword and the Sorcerer" (it would qualify for worst fantasy film of all time) That one was terrible beyond words and the special effects nothing short of abominable. The worst bit was that on the cover of the DVD it quoted some cinema critic saying "Better than Conan The Barbarian could ever be" Yeah right!
Einherjar Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Most of what's been featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000, but one I was reminded recently was Puma Man.
BeyondTheGrave Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 the resident evil movies. if it been said already then the new one.
hutch Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Most of what's been featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000, but one I was reminded recently was Puma Man. Thepumaman is such a great, just awful movie. Mike and the bots just demolish it. I might have to pop that in the DVD player tonight as I go to bed.
taksraven Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) Still hate Jumper after two years. I didn't think it was that bad. It wasn't a classic, but I enjoyed it. What part(s) in particular did you hate about it? Taksraven Edited April 6, 2010 by taksraven
areaseven Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I didn't think it was that bad. It wasn't a classic, but I enjoyed it. What part(s) in particular did you hate about it? Taksraven The fact that Mannequin Skywalker still can't act his way out of a paper bag even if his life depended on it.
anime52k8 Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) The fact that Mannequin Skywalker still can't act his way out of a paper bag even if his life depended on it. that and it's got a totally half-assed tacked on ending. :edit: honestly, it's totally possible it did have a real ending and I just didn't notice. by about the 2/3 mark I had totally stopped caring about the movie anyways. It's just so damn boring. Edited April 6, 2010 by anime52k8

Agent ONE Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I actually JUST watched the worst sci-fi film of all time: The Blood of Heroes (1989) WASTE of time.
Gubaba Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I actually JUST watched the worst sci-fi film of all time: The Blood of Heroes (1989) WASTE of time. I thought it was common knowledge that ANY post-nuclear war movie from the '80s (except for 2/3 of the Mad Max Trilogy) should be approached with caution, if at all.
anime52k8 Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Or how about the lack of an actual reason for Samuel L Jackson to hunt them down. but dude, their teleportation powers could like, end the world and stuff... because... yeah
eugimon Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 but dude, their teleportation powers could like, end the world and stuff... because... yeah Actually, I thought their blind unthinking hatred was the only thing that worked in the movie.
anime52k8 Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Actually, I thought their blind unthinking hatred was the only thing that worked in the movie. Honestly, Samuel L. Jackson was the only redeeming quality of the movie. But if I really wanted to watch a movie with Samuel L. Jackson and nothing else, I'd just watch Snakes on a Plane.
Marzan Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Watched the first hour of a terrible film yesterday called The Astronauts Wife. Awful.
Dynaman Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I thought it was common knowledge that ANY post-nuclear war movie from the '80s (except for 2/3 of the Mad Max Trilogy) should be approached with caution, if at all. There was another one, it wasn't very good, but it was bad in a very good way. Two kids end up in a fallout shelter in the (fifties)? with nothing but food and dective comics. They come back out in the eighties (looking to be 20ish...) after a nuclear war. They are dressed and act like comic book dcks (detectives) while everyone else is dressed up in eighties style post apocalypse clothing... For some reason I don't remember the rest of the movie. Another bad movie with a scifi portion was "Deadtime Stories", it was a horror movie about a guy telling his niece and nephew bedtime stories so he could go watch TV, one of the stories was Goldilocks and the three bears, but in this case the three bears were bank robbers (think of the three bears from Bugs bunny fame - but they are people instead of bears) and Goldilocks had telekinetic powers. Neither of those movies is for kids.

Sounds pretty lame to me. Is it an 80s special?

Oh, lots of them are "bad in a good way," especially if they were made in Italy. But, look at it this way...if you walk into a video store with your girlfriend, and she says, "Hey, let's rent a random film noir from the '40s!" or "let's watch a random French New Wave film from the '60s!" you have a pretty good chance of getting something good-to-great. If she says, "Hey, let's rent a random post-apocalyptic film from the '80s!" or "Let's get a random slasher movie!" your odds of getting something worthwhile plummet drastically.
