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

[Ironic]

But honestly the most awful plot premise for any movie has to go to whatever Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (team behind that 'Movie' franchise) come up with in every film they make.

It still baffles me how they continue to somehow get funding for their dreadful, dreadful films. They made two last year! Superhero Movie and Disaster Movie! Who keeps giving them money?

Especially those other soldiers were portrayed in a way too negative light, they did a lot more.

Absolutely. If the film had been more historically accurate, it would have been called 1300. Along with the 300 Spartans, about 1000 Thespians stayed behind to help fight off the Persians.

I reckon its more on the fact that they can churn-out, produce and distribute the films they make for about... £50, and then the 200,000 people that think "LOL LETS GO WATCH ONE OF THOSE SHITTY FILMS AND LAUGH AT HOW BAD IT IS" or "DURRR ITS FUNNAY" that watch it, give a lot more money back.


It's the sweatshop of hollywood.

What did the Thespians do? A song and dance number?

I figured it was only a matter of time before someone made a joke like that.

It's either Thespians or Thesbians; I couldn't remember which. Not that it makes much difference.

Thesbians? Lesbians that do a song and dance number?

300

Spartans go to persia. Spartans kill persians. Spartan woman has sex. Spartans die. More Spartans come. End.

You know it's based on a real battle, the Battle of Thermopylae, right? The film itself might not be exactly truthful to the history, but the premise is stuff that actually happened.

I do understand that but the storyline that the film follows is a terrible one IMO.

Thats cause its a comic, its like saying spiderman is stupid or watchmen.

The One - The whole movie is based on the idea of multiple dimensions and was basically set up so Jet Li could fight Jet Li. Anyway Jet Li 1 (I forgot the characters name) has gone to all the different dimensions killing all the other Jet Lis (I thought there were infinite dimensions) and the more he kills the more powerfull he gets. The only Jet Li left is Jet Li 2 who lives in our dimension so Jet Li 1 tries to kill him so he can be invincible.

EDIT: Heres the plot summary from wikipedia, it makes even less sense than mine

A superhuman criminal named Yu-Law (Jet Li), once a member of the organization policing interdimensional travel (via detecting wormhole openings, which can be predicted like the weather), seeks to hunt down and kill variations of himself in alternate universes to absorb a common life force (which possibly has to do something with the string theory as it was mentioned in the movie by Evan Funsch) that connects them all. By killing his other selves, (becoming the last version of himself) and absorbing their power, he thinks he will become a god.

The only one who can stop him is the last of his alternate selves (MVC: MultiVerse Counterpart), Gabriel Law, who works in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in a near-image of our own universe (George W. Bush remained President, but had some policy differences such as a "Universal Health Care Plan") and, before the events of the movie, was unaware of the multiverse. In the attempt to kill Law, Yu-Law starts a fight where he is hiding in an airshaft. After shooting where they believed he was hiding, the Sheriff's Department attempts to move in, but Yu-Law busts through the metal and takes out the entire team, single handedly. He then has to flee on foot when more troops move in. He is seen "Doing fifty!" running down the streets from the police. In the end, Law was the only one who could keep up with him, not to mention barely jumping the tall fence. Law then sees Yu-Law who is identical to him in appearance, and Yu-Law says "The good news is, you're not crazy." Law is assisted by a member of the Multiverse Authority that Yu-Law once worked for, with the concern that if only one version of Yu-Law is left there will be catastrophic results for the entire multiverse.

I dunno, I don't think thats a ridiculous plot, more just obscure sci-fi. We need a definition of ridiculous here, or otherwise The Matrix (machines plugged into people with biblical overtones x10) and other slightly obscure yet kinda logically sound (within the context of the film) are going to get dragged into this.


Having said this, look up "TALES OF A NYMPHOID BARBARIAN IN DINOSAUR HELL"

The advert makes me lol so hard. http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2746482969/
its pretty much like a futurama-esque spoof of a film XD

Thesbians? Lesbians that do a song and dance number?

No no, you've got the wrong idea: it was another ancient Greek city-state, like Athens or Sparta.

But I like your idea much more.

 

[Mozared]

Push wasn´t a horrible movie, but the plot initially made me chuckle. Basically, they blame everything that happens on NAZI SUPERPOWER EXPERIMENTZZZ!

So do I.

But yeah, I know who the Thespians were. I really don't think they were much help, though. There is a reason for the stereotype.

 

[Trivun]

So you get some snakes right, the you put them on a plane...

Also, another terrible movie... you get some flesh-eating zombie disease, you then carry it on a passenger plane...

That really sets it up for sequels though...

Snakes on a train, Snakes with a cane, Snakes in a lane, Snakes eat Elaine, Snakes in pain, Snakes cause pain, Snakes eat The Brain, Snakes insane, Insane Snakes... yeah, I've got pages of these. I could go on...

 

[Sixties Spidey]

The new Bionic Commando's plot is pretty ridiculous too. Has some of the most laughably bad lines in a video game I've ever heard.

 

[ReZerO]

Killer Klowns from outer space!
"When a small town is invaded by aliens from outer space who are capturing and killing the townspeople, no one takes them seriously. Why? The aliens all look like circus clowns, use weapons that look clown like, and all have painted on smiles. Only a few of the young people in the town realize the danger and of course no one believes them. Armed with an ice cream truck they try and rescue their friends."

I would have to say it was either, Crank, or Shooter personally

If the title can't make this win, then I'll eat my own toenails. Served with foot cheese.

that hannah montannah movie never heard the plot but its her and that makes it sad....

Well first off, that isn't a plot. It's a title. Secondly, I'm reasonably sure that that isn't a real film. Although I certainly hope I'm wrong in saying so.

Yes, it's real. My point was that if the title's this bad, think how soul-tearingly awful the plot must be.

Teeth by a mile. Basically, "the very hungry vagina".

 

[FrankDux]

Teeth is a good one although for the sheer hilarity of all the movies, my money is on Leprechaun.

 

[Beetlejooce]

Teeth was more mentally disturbing than anything else.. but a girl who has massive carnivorous teeth where her clitoris should be gets my vote. Wasn't a bad film but it took several attempts to get through it all :|

The Harold & Kumar films got a bit random too, but that was funny random. Harold and Kumar are hilarious
