Be Excellent To Each Other

Continuing the Commando theme.

I don't know why, but I watched all of this and laughed myself stupid.

He was T-Bird. Man, between him, Ernie Hudson and Michael Wincott that film was Awesome Character Actor Nirvana.

Anyway - On Deadly Ground. So terrible it's actually a little bit awesome. Steven Seagal! Michael Caine! Dr. Cox Off Scrubs! The EarthForce Media Advisor Who Tried To Seduce Sheridan In Babylon 5! Together at last!

It's a tossup what's the funniest part - Seagal's fringed buckskin jacket, Caine's wig or the big "Oil Is Bad, M'kay?" speech at the end.

Hawk The Slayer and Some Kind Of Wonderful might be in this category as well if they weren't empirically fantastic.

Oooh - Hudson Hawk!

Let's sit down and watch Krull, and then we can discuss it.

Dragnet, Space Camp, anything with Hulk Hogan, Wargames...

Really this thread should be called 'What are your fave 80s movies?', heh.

@AceAceBaby: I have 'But I'm A Cheerleader' on DVD, on the recommendation of a friend who is similarly strongly taken by it. It's a favourite hangover movie of mine.

Dragnet isn't so much a guilty pleasure as a stone-cold classic.

Tom Hanks used to make great films. Shame... echoes of Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin there.

but with Oscars and trillions of quid.

I hate Dragnet. I watched it with Craig with his recommendation.





Joe Vs. the Volcano is fantastic, though.

Hudson Hawk and Dragnet are ace.

The Hudson hawk was the gorgeous film clearly. I do not obtain and/or do not understand that why therefore whether it became candidacy. … There is no waiting…

These are all (well mostly) decent films! I demand that this thread be renamed.

Cherry 2000.

Another "quest" movie. One man's journey to find a replacement for his broken shag-bot in yet another post-apocalyptic future, hires a young Melanie Griffith to aid him. How could it possibly fail?

Possibly the most predictable movie ever, too.

Entertainingly bad.

Hello McM.

I like Mulva, Zombie Ass Kicker. Just for Chris Seaver as Bonejack. A film so bad that even CUS couldn't sit through it. And we know the sort of utter shite he likes.

The only thing I remember about Cherry 2000 is that the ending was filmed at the same place they filmed the end of Highlander 2.

Hi Dimrill.

Ooh, Highlander -- the first one though. That's another. When I watch that, I'm back to being a kid wanting to charge around brandishing a plastic sword again. It was also one of the first movies I bought on VHS.

Guilty pleasure = The Prophecy 2.

The Prophecy (1) was an enjoyable supernatural thriller which pitted Eric Stolz, the long haired version from Pulp Fiction and Killing Zoe, against a rather excellent Christopher Walken.

However, it's the second one that's even better. Mainly because Brittany Murphy steals every scene she's in.


Another one = Karate Kid 3. It's great because of the ridiculous over-acting of the main villains.

Dragnet and Commando are two of those films that I just find eminently watchable. No matter what mood I'm in I can stick one of those on and just laugh myself silly for an hour and a half.

Favourite bit in Commando is the magical self-repairing Porsche, and in Dragnet it's the car chase punctuated by Dan Aykroyd shouting "Look out, muppets!".

Arnie's arch enemy, yesterday.

People have already mentioned The Princess Bride, Labyrinth and The Warriors, which would be my guilty pleasures. I think I should also add Josie And The Pussycats to the list though - I chuffing loves that movie I does!

Beastmaster

The Prophecy was ace. It's the film that Constantine should have been. Haven't seen the sequel, though.

Every film Walken has ever been in is gold.

My hairdresser told me I looked like Walken. As a 23-year-old, I wasn't sure whether to take that as a compliment or not, but eventually decided it was awesome. I can only hope the resemblance gets stronger and stronger until I can fly.

I think you're confusing Walken with Orville.

Rumbled.

Balls of Fury?

Yeah, all you really need to know about The Prophecy is that Christopher Walken is the Archangel Gabriel and Aragorn plays Satan.

Flight of the Navigator, Hard Rock Zombies and Dodgeball*


*not Dodgeball

That's some commitment right there. He's very barely a zombie at the end, just some greenish makeup.

It has Zombie Hitler in. That was the birth of Vat of Fat, that was.

I also really, really like Urusei Yatsura: The Final Chapter, though I can't watch it in company as it leaves me a blubbering, teary mess.

Grave of The Fireflies does that to me.

Oh still have that in its shrink wrap, and Tokyo Godfathers.

Oh, I've just remembered - Johnny Mnemonic.

It's fucking terrible. Canoe Reeves is only the fourth-worst actor in the cast (Ice-T, Henry Rollins and Dolph Lundgren, since you ask). It's got that hilarious early-nineties virtual-reality style interpretation of the internet as seen in The Lawnmower Man, totally fucks up its source material and generally makes no sense whatsoever.

I like it anyway. It's got a hacker dolphin, Dina Meyer in chainmail and a bloke with a monofilament whip. As in the Matrix the main character spends the entire film largely baffled by what's going on about him, which is the one state of mind that Keanu can believably portray.

The New Barbarians, definitely. How good is it? This good. Seemingly created by some lunatic with a see-through plastic fetish who decided to remake Mad Max in a quarry, with Fred 'The Hammer' Williamson, George 'Big Ape' Eastman, the entire trampoline stuntmen's union, unexpected bum rape and stuffed dummy explosions to end all others. Even that fucking kid from House By The Cemetery's good in it.

Schweeeeeng!

SisterCheeba! Post more!

hes my new hero, everybody check out david cross doing stand up. and arrested development.

there was a possibility of him being tobias fúnke in scrubs and maybe still, sqeee(sp?).

Though, for his stand-up, it helps if you like sarcasm and indignance at hypocritical bastards. I don't imagine anyone here would be too keen on it. Still, I do recommend it. And if you don't already all own all 3 series of Arrested Development on DVD, you're dead to me anyway.

I am all agog, stiff and pulsing with excitement that the long-mooted AD movie will be happening! Probably! It probably will be, hoorah! With everyone back! And hopefully nobody saying 'I'm a leaf on the wind' at any point...

Aww stop it, I'm getting all teary over here
