So Bad It's Good/Film: Difference between revisions

There are a lot of really bad movies out there. Some of them are watchable in their own twisted way. In fact, there are studios who make [[B-Movie|movies like this]] almost exclusively. Many of these have been saved through [[Ham and Cheese]].

 

 

Of course this is a very subjective trope, but let's try not to argue, eh?

{{examples}}

* One French website is entirely dedicated to "nanars", i.e. hilariously bad films. [http://www.nanarland.com You can take a look.]

** [[Captain Obvious|"Visits? That would indicate visitors."]]

* The Hong Kong movie ''[[Future Cops]]'' also falls squarely on this trope. [[WTH? Casting Agency]] with Hong Kong pop singers, every character is a [[Captain Ersatz]] of [[Street Fighter]] characters, silly humors, messed up character alignments like the above movie and a lot of wacky nonsensical scenes just doesn't even begin with this movie that takes itself even less seriously than ''[[Street Fighter (film)|Street Fighter]]'' above. Certainly this movie lives on the further end of 'Bad' of [[So Bad It's Good]] compared to that movie above. However, some still consider it a good movie for some senseless laughs.

* ''[[Birdemic]]'' may actually be almost as bad as ''[[Plan 9 from Outer Space]]''. And it never stops with the hurting!

* The ''[[Grindhouse]]'' movies, ''Planet Terror'' and ''Death Proof'', were generally regarded as [[So Bad It's Good]] by critics. ''Death Proof'' was actually criticized a bit for not being stupid enough. The director [[Quentin Tarantino]] has a different opinion: [http://www.cinemastrikesback.com/?cat=126 he doesn't believe in so bad it's good].

* ''[[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.]]<br /><br />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'')
