Street Fighter is worth it for Raul Julia alone.

Yes, this was panned by critics and hated by most Street Fighter fans, but I found this to be a guilty pleasure. I believe this was supposed to make Kristin Kreuk into a movie star post-Smallville and that didn't happen.

Also worth watching for the really bizarre lesbian seduction scene with Chun Li.

One time Raul Julia's eyes popped out and he had to put them back in. True story.

RIP

Hackers - That soundtrack pretty much kicked off my love of electronic music in the 90's. It was the first time I heard Orbital's "Halcyon+On+On" and its still the most beautiful song ever.

I still say that if you nix the supernatural elements and change the character names, you got yourself a typical late 70s/early 80s b-movie.

My favorite scene is when
Spoiler:
Chun-Li waits for Bison's daughter to show up to then brutally murder him in front of her.


Although the movie must be seen if only for Chris Klein delivering the worst performance in the history of cinema.

Bizarre is right. Both women couldn't have looked more uncomfortable. It was an unintentionally hilarious scene.

HELL YES! I remember my mother took me to see this a surprise trip, and I left the theater a happy kid.

I love John Leguizamo and I'm not sorry

Re: Post your favorite guilty pleasure.

There are some serious misconceptions about what the definition of "guilty pleasure" is in this thread...that said Highlander II in any cut.

Guilty Pleasure from what I interpret is something that is mostly regarded as terrible, but you find enjoyment out of it.

Or something that you wouldn't be caught dead seeing/owning, but you have & enjoy.

I've never forgot about that movie. I know everyone on here seems to hate her now, but I still have a crush on Kirsten Dunst.

I probably quote this movie more than any of his movies (Mallrats is 2nd).

Sorority Boys. It's terrible, but I find some scenes so funny, no matter how many times I watch it.

Bandidas. It's just a boatload of fun. And the cast look like they are having fun.

There are more, but these are probably the biggest.

Bring it On - Richard Hillman's (Aaron) death was apparently a drug overdose.

Fuck yeah! I have happily watched every cut of Highlander 2 and wish someone like Shout would release a comprehensive set with every last version included. Heck, make a brand new version with the updated special effects and the Zion dialogue/subplots intact and toss that in too.

IMDB also states "Contracted HIV in the late 1990s.".
I wonder if that played a factor.
