{{quote|The usual charge to make against the ''Carry On'' films is to say that they could be so much better done. This is true enough. They look dreadful, they seem to be edited with a bacon slicer, the effects are perfunctory and the comic rhythm jerks along like a cat on a cold morning. But if all these things were more elegant I don't really think the films would be more enjoyable: the badness is part of the funniness.}} |

* ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'' is a textbook deliberate case of this. The plot (such as it is) is very like ''[[Manos: The Hands of Fate|Manos the Hands of Fate]]'' (probably unintentional, given ''"Manos"'''s cliched plot and utter obscurity until ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' found it) with vast galloping amounts of homoerotica thrown in. The characters were, for the most part, based on those of the Bulgakov novel ''[[The Master and Margarita]]'' - itself a modern masterpiece, partly because all of its failed drama is [[Logic Bomb|deliberate.]] |

** Richard O'Brien intentionally made it this way, as a tribute to the campy sci-fi films of the 50s & 60s (as evidenced by the opening number ''Science Fiction, Double Feature'') |

* ''[[The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra]]'' is one of those rare ''intentional'' examples of this trope, an [[Affectionate Parody]] of the worst of the worst B-movies of the '50s and '60s, with nonsensical dialogue, wooden acting, and plenty of [[Special Effect Failure]]. |
