Frankenhooker actually looks hilarious, would like to watch it someday.
Demolition Man a bad movie? It was just okay when it came out, and a good parody of it's own genre, and it's one of the few movies that have just has gotten better with time. |
Demolition Man was poorly received by audiences and critics, and it was a box office bomb, so I think it counts. But IMO, it's a fun as hell film, and I think (Like Paul Verhoeven films) most missed the satirical edge of the film.
Frankenhooker is fantastic! You can't go wrong with it.
Oh, and speaking of the 1990s, I forgot about this one Carpenter anti-classic:
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
Jumpin said: I was just thinking about Xennial films in particular (Xennials are roughly people born on the border of Gen X and Millennial - about 1977 to 1985). Showgirls! Yet somehow the film managed to become a massive sleeper hit, making hundreds of millions in rentals and becoming one of MGM's highest selling films of all time on VHS. |
You could also say it was a very cheap film to make. I mean they didn't have to spend any real money on costumes...

It's one of the most popular films from The Asylum, if not the most popular - but IMO it went a little too far over the top.
This scene from Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus (also by The Asylum) is probably my borderline before I shake my head and say "For f***'s sake....."
But my favourite Asylum film is one I posted earlier, Two-Headed Shark Attack. Though Three-Headed Shark Attack IMO was a little disappointed, despite featuring Rob Van Dam. But if you like enjoyable bad films, The Asylum is a goldmine, that's their bread and butter.

I didn't know Demolition Man was poorly received. It even has a 59% on Rotten Tomatoes, certainly not perfect, but not that bad either.
Other Movies I forgot:

Jeremy Irons is absolutely delicious in this movie. But forget pretty much everything else about it.

Not so much a bad movie actually, but had an absolute trainwreck of a marketing campaign, marketing the comedy as an action flick. Of course everybody hated it as an action movie, but it's a fine comedy - if pretty nonsensical.
Edit: also forgot this one:

Actually a very deep movie, but the focus on pretty girls in very fanservicey costumes and ludicrous action scenes didn't actually make it any favors.

[see above]. I really loved Sucker Punch, especially the musical numbers. Plus the film plays out as if it belonged in a video game.
I even told my boss Sucker Punch was a good film; followed by a funny look back from her.

I have a love/hate relationship with this movie. It has some really fun elements and the ending is particularly cool but I just feel like it's a complete letdown when compared to Escape from New York. I adore that movie and it's in my top 10 of all time, it has a great balance of dark humor and serious grittiness.
I feel like that balance was lost on Escape from L.A. and I couldn't really take it seriously for the most part. I understand it probably wasn't "meant" to be taken seriously but even knowing that doesn't really help me. Man, I wish Carpenter got to make a 3rd movie like he wanted...
I found Bunraku to be a good movie.
