Oh is that what it was, I thought it was just a very long EE advert.

The Delta Force. Based on a real plane hijack but with added Chuck Norris. Awesome.

It really isn’t.

The dialogue in Hudson Hawk is pretty good, pre cursor to Last Boy Scout - equally bad.

Personally I love Starship Troopers

It really is, it's a well made film that got good reviews from audiences and critics. between the leads is great A so bad it's good film is one you'd be slightly ashamed to admit you'd like, Tremors is way too popular for that. Starship Troopers is also a clever film pretending to be a dumb action flick.

I have a weird fondness for Pluto Nash. I cannae explain why.

I reckon that's a truly legit entry on this thread as it's universally acknowledged to be crap.

Tremors is a great film, has a lot of heart and is very re-watchable. Unlike most of today's offerings with much bigger budgets.

I love Buckaroo Banzai!

Tremors, STarship Troopers, WIld Geese, these aren't bad films, by any stretch. A 'b' film isn't a bad film. All of the above are well written, exceptionally acted and have strong coherent plots that deliver on excitement, satisfaction and twists. ST is even a pretty savage satire, so subtle, that the lead didn't know it was a satire.

a crap film I love, Casino Royale. It's a crazy hallucinogenic 60's mess of a dog's breakfast, but I find it endlessly entertaining

Amazon Women on the Moon.

MMMMMMMMM Dina Meyer She was 30 when ST was filmed, play a character 10 - 12 years her junior!!

Love ST myself, shame the follow ups were absolute pants!

I actually like ST2, another crap film. It's really creepy and a great example of a genre switch in a sequel.

Warriors - not sure this belongs in thus thread. ...

It doesn't. Finally saw this at the start of 2017 (thanks Film4) and immediately couldn't believe that I had let decades go past before finally viewing.

Absolutely holds up, and captures the claustrophobic feel of crossing unfriendly territory, trying to get to safety in pre-mobile / internet times.

I was surprised at how well it holds up, aside from one scene played for laughs (speeded up) which wasn't funny (one of the gang member's demise).

I present:
1. Under Seige - terminally crap but executed well, and Steven Segal plays it completely straight, adding to the unintentional hilarity.

2. The Chronicles of Riddick - a Vin Diesel production (common theme) that is an excellent Sci-Fi film criminally overlooked because it is a Vin Diesel film. Captures the feel of the Riddick universe, with good special effects, set-pieces, and mostly good, if slightly wooden, performances. Also stars Hulk smash period Thandie Newton (would smash with the force of a 1000 Hulks)

They tried it with The Expendables and somehow made it incredibly boring

the problem with the expendables was they took it/themselves too seriously. Enjoyable but crap/low budget movies mostly don't take themselves seriously, e.g. try for introspective moody character, they just have a laugh so you get behind them.

What ! You can’t put A Good Year in here, that’s a great film ... makes you smile, no punches, no guns just entertaining.

On the Vin Diesel theme, I give you XXX.

I actually think it might be called Triple XXX

Anyway, is was bad in a good way
