Most laughably absurd plot for a movie you've ever heard in your life?

I will forever uphold Basic as having the worst premise ever. To quote myself from a thread about confusing films:
Basic. Seriously, what?
So, like, the black guy killed everyone but then he didn't but then he did but then everyone is a liar but then they're all perfectly fine?
That's one of my favorite movies :) I love movies like Basic and Identity

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, which I found thanks to a different thread yesterday.
that was one of the movies me, my brother, and a bunch of friends watched during a night of watching hilariously terrible movies.

Not sure if it's been mentioned or not, but going through five pages is a bit much.

Anyway

The Asylum's "Sherlock Holmes".

It features Sherlock Holmes fighting dinosaurs which are intelligent, human-sized and roaming London.

He tracks them down to a lab run by his evil brother, Ironman, whom he then has to fight while Ironman pilots a giant robot dragon or somesuch.

Two old men are in retirement and are losing their minds. One of them genuinely believes he is Elvis Presley, the other believes he is JFK despite being black (they took out JFK's brain and put it in his head because it'd be the 'last place anyone would look'). Together, they defend their house from a mummy.
I fuckin loved Bubba Hotep.

Just nitpicking, they dyed JFK to make him black rather than the brain thing. I think.
Heh. You may be right. I've not actually seen the film. My friend told me a brief synopsis and consequently its now on the top of my to-watch list :D
He is a guy that everyone thinks thinks he is Elvis. He is actually Elvis he just traded places with an impersonator so that he could retire quietly.

Equilibrium. It was a pretty awesome but the plot was pretty hilarious. Basically that in the future to avoid wars they eliminated human emotion by giving anyone drugs and destroying anything that could make people 'feel' including all forms of art. I'm pretty sure that the best part was that they could watch footage of war and learn to be super soldiers and kill people and that wouldn't inspire emotion but a fancy mirror frame would.

Because unjust societies are based on sound concepts?

oh, that or the Saw movies
So you mean a story about a man who finds people who take life for granted and shows them not only how much they really did appreciate their lives and open their eyes to how far they would go to save themselves but also how good their lives were in the first place not having to deal with the horrors that he put them through is laughably absurd? I think the plot idea is absolute genius, but the execution (no pun intended) was trying to lean more on the side of "trying to be shocking."

I actually don't have one... to me, no plot is absurd if you're willing to stretch your mind. But I might as well just say the Human Centipede, because I don't understand why he would want to do something like that...

Sounds kinda like Sunshine, but that movie was only a couple of years ago I think. The frightening implication being that someone did it *twice*.
Someone named it already, yea it was sunshine. The plot still sounds stupid, even today. I'm sorry but using nuclear weapons to relight the sun is stupid, you'd have a better chance by throwing a canister of Helium used to inflate balloons into the thing. Also how our sun apparently kills people off one by one, rather than just frying them all and being done with the stupid movie.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Remember, Michael Myers, the killer in all the Halloween movies? Well he isn't in Halloween III. Why? Well they killed him off in 2, only to bring him back in 4, so what'd you get with Season of the Witch? Pure bad plot gold. To give a brief summary, a guy who looks like he's attended one too many Magnum P.I. conventions teams up with some girl he hasn't ever met before, and they set off to solve the mystery of the girl's father's death. Turns out that an Irish toy company staffed by androids stole part of stonehenge, this was hooked up to a computer and used to produce cursed Halloween masks. Then on Halloween they're going to broadcast a special signal on the air, and any kid who is wearing their mask while the signal goes out will have their head melted, and snakes and bugs will come out of the ooze.

... You can't make this kind of shit up.
Except the writers clearly did...

Salt. "Oh no! The government thinks I am a spy. To prove I am not a spy, I am going to run away and kill everyone that tries to capture me, to prove that I am innocent!"

Minority Report. "How do we stop crime? Well, what we do is listen to the psychic people we've hired. They can predict the future, so we know about the crimes before they've even been committed. It's really neat. And the best part is that we can stop the crimes before they're committed, too. What? Wrong to arrest people who haven't done anything? Wrong to trust purported psychics that are always wrong? What are you talking about? "

Inception had a good concept then it tried to cater to fight scene loving fans while not truly emphasizing the true inner psych of the mind.
The Dark Knight had issues with Joker's escape attempts and how "well planned" he truly was.
The entire Matrix series. Do you know how often computers break down? o_O

Any cheap ass monster movie of the sci fi ( NEVER SY FY DAMNIT )fair. I watched these so much as a child I realised they all have the same structure, monster, kills insubstantial characters, then kills various characters of these archtypes.

-Douchebag
-Best Friend
-Really Really Hot Chick
-Tough Guy
-Teens Having Sex
-Soldier

And It always end with the white male, female, or male and female love interest leads destroying the beast in some spectacular fashion, whether It be hitting It with a train, dropping It out a cargo jet, or simply blowing It to Kingdome Come.

They just never turn out good.
