So I figured I'd piggyback off MovieBob's latest video and see what other MSTies thought was the worst movie. I fully expect Other to win, just because there's so much crap. For instance, I hated The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies, but other people actually like that one. Bad execution, stupid idea, coma-inducingly boring, general ickiness (I'm looking at you, Hobgoblins), or just how it affected you, all can qualify a movie as the worst.
Also, which did you enjoy the most? My favorite is Space Mutiny, followed closely by Fugitive Alien.
Here's my worst five:
5. The Starfighters- It's an Air Force recruitment ad, not even really trying to masquerade as a movie. They show planes refueling mid-air, in real time. NOTHING HAPPENS IN THIS MOVIE. Imagine the worst version of Top Gun ever. Invasion of the Neptune Men and Fire Maidens of Jupiter are just as slow, but Fire Maidens has decent classical music (repeated ad nauseum) and Neptune Men has the Hitler Building!
4. Manos, the Hands of Fate- It's somewhere on everybody's list, with good reason. Made with no budget by a shit salesman (look it up), it has Torgo, the satyr with watermelons in his pants, and thankfully just implied pedophilia.
3. The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies- This one actually made me nauseous. I was fine before I watched it, then I got to that damn hypnotism scene where Servo freaks out and almost ralphed. Any movie with a visceral reaction like that has to be bad.
2. Hobgoblins- This movie hates you, make no mistake about it. Imagine the cheesiest piece of 80s Gremlins rip-off, that goes out of its way to make you hate every character, and doesn't even have the decency to kill any of them off. They made this movie to make you dumber.
1. Monster A-Go-Go- THERE WAS NO MONSTER. There is also next to no spoken dialogue, most exposition comes from voiceover, because they screwed up the recordings so the director made a play-by-play at the last minute. A movie too cheap to pay a phone bill, so an actor says "Brrrrinnngg!" out of the corner of his mouth then picks up the phone. It really seems like they were going out of their way to make it horrible. Possibly the worst cop-out ending ever.
