Star Wars III - NOOOOOOOO thank you.
While I agree with much of what you had up there, cant say I've seen 1980 RtoK or the first movie you had up there. Episode Three was the best out of the Prequel Movies, One was by far worse.
Oh and Episode V was the best Star Wars.
What are you guys talking about?
There are only 2 Star Wars movies:
1. Star Wars, in which Han shoots first
2. Empire Strikes Back, in which Han becomes a popsicle.

Ah contraire ROTJ was Star Wars worthy if you go get a drink during the fuzzies portions. DVD fast forward makes it all worthy.

I don't know Frazz, I think I might have to agree with John on this one... I mean the fuzzies taking on a Legion of the Emperor's best men and winning?
As long as we're talking about the original theatrical trilogy, I feel there are three Star Wars films. I just justify the fuzzie victory to the Emperor's exceedingly arrogant belief that the rebels didn't stand a chance so he sent his worst training/remedial legions of his "special" Stormtroopers from the clone reject bin to help 'train them up' so to speak. Since the Emperor was also cutting costs (Y'know that second Death Star was never in the budget), he had to use what was available and his Clone batches were pretty diluted by this time anyway, y'know, copy of a copy of a copy of a.... And it was known the Stormtroopers were clones even way back then. Hey, I gotta make it work in my mind somehow.

Then again, VI does give us ITS A TRAP....
Agreed, but thats why God invented fast forward. The Tatooine and Death Star II scenes are worthy additions.

Well, with that logic if you simply hit skip scene on the Star Wars Episode II DVD (Y'know, just skip any scene in which Anakin and Padme are alone together) Episode II isn't half bad.

Both very good points, in fact in EpII I often do that just to watch the Kamino parts and the Battle of Geinosis.
Yea, actually if Anakin is in it, if he's not wielding a sabre its best to fast forward...

It was the wiener they got to play Anakin. Plus, I remember seeing the original ones in the cinema, so I think I had real high expectations. In fairness, I thought episodes I-III were all terrible. One had Jar-Jar. Two had the guy who played Anakin and was too slowly paced, and Three had the same Anakin and MacGregor looked like he mailed his performance in. Lucas' best movie was THX-1138.
Don't bother watching MegaForce - it sucks so bad you'll want to kill yourself afterwards. The lead guy rocks a powder blue headband in his bullet proof spandex jumpsuit while being GI JOE on his super Motorcycle. He also says stuff like, " Even in the 80s, the good guys win."
Return of the King 1980 is on Youtube. Trust me, way, way, way, way, way too much singing.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Gymkata was really bad too.

Megaforce! Yikes that was bad. That's what happens when people usually associated with Broadway get together and try to do a Action/Adventure/Comedy. It turns out to be none of those three. Brad, uh, I mean Barry Bostowick is NOT an action star.
Gymkata! I had completely forgotten about that one. Wasn't that with some gold medal gymnast? That one was really bad and I was a teenager and into Martial Arts then and still thought it sucked. I think you may be the winner!
Holy Gak!,I can't belive I forgot about Megaforce,I can't watch it now with out half expecting Tim Curry to show up and start singing,or for Meatloaf to ride up on one of those snazzy rokkit launching motorcycles,his gold spandex body suit screaming for mercy.
Oh yes,Megaforce was REAL bad.
@ GoFenris,yes Gymkata was awful,but for truely eye pulling out martial arts films of the 80s it dosen't hold a candle to "Kill or be killed" or "Kill and Kill again",staring James Ryan....mind numbingly awful stuff.

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Star Quest 2 (or Galactic Odyssey as it's sometimes known) a terrible film with Robert Englund in it, it's yet another movie that rehashes the special effects and space battles from the (actually very good) magnificent seven in space film, Battle Beyond the Stars.
Inseminoid - very dodgy alien rip off horror sci-fi, it's just bloody awful. Both this and the Star Quest 2 movie are examples where I've come home drunk in the wee small hours and started watching and been aware, despite the vast quantities of sambuca in my system, that they are truly dreadful.

Aw, c'mon, Godzilla vs King Kong has bad suits but the movie is okay, well okay-- and Godzilla's Revenge aka All Monsters Attack was made for small children. It is not fair to say that it's bad.
Although I do agree with the American Godzilla, it was a lot like Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.
But if we're talking Godzilla, the last one made (2004) almost edges out the American Godzilla film as the worst. Godzilla: Final Wars. I think Godzilla was only on screen for 6 or 7 minutes. It was kind of like the Matrix meets Power Rangers with a little Godzilla thrown in. Although it did have a great scene in which big G handles American Godzilla aka Zilla in about three seconds.

I may just be letting personal feelings get in the way I hate that Ape.

I beg to differ, I saw that movie as a child and still hated it.

Give IJatCS more credit than that. I never saw final wars, the most I saw of it was when I looked up the fight between Godzilla and Zilla. Out of the Millennium saga movies I liked Godzilla 2000 and Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack

Someone threw a fit about that in the Star Wars versus 40k thread. That one was funny.
Also, when it comes to bad movies, I forgot a pretty big one:
Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
I thought Zombie Diaries had some interesting moments,and had the potential to be very good (had it not been so jumbled),but of course the zombie film lover in me demands that I had to at least find something redeamable about it.
However,if there is one Zombie film I can find no value what so ever in,it has to be the unholy mess that is Uwe Bolls "House of the dead",after watching the first 20 minutes of this gak I honestly wanted to hunt down every person responsible for it's production,douse them in gasoline,and toss a match.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
