Re: Worst movie in your collection?
Btw, point me in the direction of that $3.99 price for The Burning. I've been looking to get my paws on some more '80s Slasher, but I'm not willing to pay $10 and up.

Re: Worst movie in your collection?
Here are a few movies in my collection that are considered "bad":
Big Daddy
Bride of the Monster*
Glen or Glenda*
Howard the Duck
Plan 9 From Outer Space*
The worst movie in my collection IMO is Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I do not know what I was thinking when I bought this one. I have not watched it since I got it. There are only a few funny moments, I'll admit, but that is about it.

I have yet to see it but Cruel Intentions 3 can't be good. It was part of a Cruel Intentions trilogy pack I picked up. Dickie Roberts and Undercover Brother have to be fairly high up there on the crap scale also.

Re: Worst movie in your collection?
I've got both of the AVP movies (in their special editions, no less, so that I have all of the special editions of all of the Alien and Predator movies). They aren't *horrible*, but they certainly aren't great either. You can't even see what is happening on the screen! Blech.
I've also got both Feast sequels (Sloppy Seconds & The Happy Finish) because I enjoyed the first Feast movie, but I absolutely loathe the sequels. I'm all for horror movies (over half my collection is made of them) but those Feast movies went beyond gross and disturbing. I shudder even just thinking about them.

Re: Worst movie in your collection?
probably Action Jackson
i own Ultraviolet and it's pretty bad too. but it came with the Fifth Element
hell, i own many movies that are not of high critical opinion. Predator 2. Robocop 2. The Last Starfighter. Krull. Conan the Destroyer.
all the Rambo movies. all the Rocky movies. heaps of Asian martial arts and heroic bloodshed movies. Sonny Chiba. Chow Yun Fat. the entire Shogun Assassin series. Shaw brothers kung fu. John Woo. Tsui Hark.
we could argue at length about the merits of these films or their lack thereof. but i am glad to own and enjoy them. even proud of the fact.
and they're stored right alongside the Godfather, Rashomon, Raging Bull, Once Upon a Time in the West, the Unforgiven... you know, the smart stuff

Re: Worst movie in your collection?
Probably Pom Pom and Hot Hot. It's one of those dreadful HK action/comedies in which the emphasis is on stupid hijinks. The movie is utterly worthless for more than an hour, but the final 15-20 minutes is packed with eye-blazing action that rivals anything by Woo. Here, take a look. Someone put up a sample of the lengthy finale:
if i could find Chow Yun Fat's God of Gamblers series for a good price, i'd own it. heck, i'd buy Stephen Chow's parody of God of Gamblers if i saw it sitting on a rack. in my opinion they're still a damn sight better made and more entertaining than Michael Bay explosions.
everything in the collection doesn't have to be Taxi Driver, right?

The last twenty minutes is awesome (of which that Youtube scene is only a small part), but to get there one has to wade through more than an hour of winking pratfalls, stupid comedy, and mugging for the camera in the worst HK tradition. It's like two different movies fused together.

It's a lame buddy comedy with a hint of action until it becomes a kick-ass HK flick for the finale. If you buy the DVD (which I don't recommend), start at chapter 14 and you'll see some shit that would make Woo envious.

but the diamond edition truly looks like a "grindhouse" print - it looks like it fell through a paper shredder. Their edition of 'House by the Cemetary' also looks like crap.

Re: Worst movie in your collection?
Without doubt, mine is the disgustingly creepy title "In A Glass Cage". I picked this up thinking is was a foreign horror film and got (from my perspective) much more than I bargained for.
(Our pet Yorkie apparently agrees with my review, as he seized an opportunity to crap on the DVD case when I left it out on the floor.)
