Street fighter
Mortal Kombat
I’d argue MK Annihilation as an alternate. The first was at least mildly passable.
I don’t know how bad it’s considered to be, I’ve seen people complain about Sum of All Fears. But I seem to be able to watch it on repeat…
Jet Li’s The One
I AM YULAW ! I’M NOBODY’S BITCH !
That ending is so good.
In the army now
Harold and Kumar go to White Castle
Poultrygeist, it’s my favourite film to put on when I want my friends to leave Hahaha.
The Room is legendary
There is this Martial arts movie from like, 30 years ago called Little Dragon Maiden. Its not good but it has an ending that is really bad. I like showing it to my friends with no heads up. It always makes them angry.

The Big Hit
I have spent the past several years convinced I was the only person who had seen this. In the theaters the first time no less.
its one of those movies that is so goofy and dumb, but the actors are having an absolute blast chewing the scenery.
Lou Diamond Phillips and Avery Brooks especially knew exactly what kind of movie they were in.
Oh absolutely! The cast is perfect for what the movie ultimately is. Even Wahlberg is good despite just being himself.
I wish I had more people in real life that found “taste the golden spray” and “straight jacking” as funny as I do though.
My brothers and I have an inside joke of recreating the pose from the #1 customer of the month adult section (double thumbs up crossed against the chest). I love this movie. Time to load this one up again.
Lou Diamond Phillips dramatic death scene lives rent-free in my brain forever.
For repeated viewings? Probably just the old standby A Knight’s Tale. Not sure how “bad” it really is though, just a very specific type of fluff elevated by some charming performances.
For bad movies I watched once but enjoyed? Standards go WAY down. As a teenager, I saw Weekend at Bernie’s 2 with my mom in the theater and enjoyed it. Around 2015-2016 I also watched the first three installments in the “Mythica” microbudget epic fantasy series (words that generally don’t go together well, LOL) and found the earnestness (and the mercifully quick exit of creepo Kevin Sorbo in each one) made them oddly watchable, but they are by no means good and I never bothered with tracking down the last three.
A Knight’s Tale is a good movie, though. Not everyone likes the pop soundtrack, but if you suspend that disbelief, it’s a solid movie.
I saw an interview a while back where the director said that the movie was trying to give the audience a taste of what a jousting tournament would feel like, so they chose a modern sound track to help a modern audience feel the hype.
Yeah, the entire thing is all about “vibes” and trying to tell a light story that makes us feel how a bunch of minor nobles and and proto-middle-class people would have felt going to a tournament or reading one of the more ribald Canterbury tales, or listening to a Chretien de Troyes romance.
To specific choices to get you there are still kind of “fluff,” but no doubt they’re reasonably well done and “sticky” in a way that can be hard to articulate. There’s a lot going on, and I don’t think it comes together well enough to be a great movie, and maybe most unfortunately, its target audience probably includes both people who will have trouble suspending disbelief long enough to sink into the silliness and enjoy it, and people who will never give it a try because of the setting, but I can’t help but stop and watch a bit when I come across it.
Tank Girl
I rewatch “New Rose Hotel” every once in a while trying to like it. It’s a William Gibson story set in the Neuromancer universe. It stars Willem Dafoe, Christopher Walken, and Asia Argento. It should be good, but it absolutely is not.
White Chicks
Everytime I watch Highlander, I am amazed at how corny it is, and somehow still so incredibly awesome.
Live action Super Mario Bros. movie is a favorite of mine.
I like it much better than the new one.
