Man, so many haters of Kungfu Komedy. I'll bet you guys didn't like Kung Pow: Enter the Fist either.
I'll say it. I enjoyed Kung Fu hustle, and loved Shao-lin soccer although the singing could very, very easily have been left on the cutting room floor (except the kungfu karaoke scene).
Klawz-Ramming is a subset of citrus fruit?

English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleyways and mugs them for loose grammar.
As a person from that region, let me assure you. That was entirely accurate dialogue.
I love when I travel places and people think we all talk like that. Then I ham up the accent just to strengthen the stereotype.

If we are going to talk about worst movies subjectively - The Phantom Menace. No movie before or since have I so eagerly anticipated only to be met with soul crushing disappointment. Crystal Skull was within spitting distance, but I had the callouses built up from the prequels.
As for Worst Movie that I Secretly Like: Big Trouble in Little China. Nothing about this movie is good. The acting is poor, the special effects aren't special, and the plot was silly.

However, I love that movie!
Bah, Big Trouble in Little China is cinema gold! Don't you deny it!
And I remembered another terrible one! Double Dragon! Jeez, this was so painful to watch...
Vampires allying with humans to fight zombie vampires, bad story line, even worse character background, stupid ideas, etc makes this one a never even think of for any good film fan.

That looks like exactly the sort of c**p that I enjoy. It's got all 3 criteria - special effects, monsters and I'm going to find it funny Might have to hunt this one down.
And what Street Fighter? (live action)
I can never work out if that film is funny to the point of genius or just complete twaddle.

It does have some awesome quotes though.
Spoiler:
M:Bison on the subject of killing Chun Li's father
"For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday."
Bison: Ah! Doctor Dhalsim! How is your research today?
Dr. Dhalsim: The same. Warped. Corrupted. My science twisted to serve perversion instead of peace.
Bison: Tell you what. After I've crushed my enemies, we'll see about getting you published. That should cheer you up, hmm?
Bison: [to his architect] The temple above us was the wonder of the ancient world. Bisonopolis shall be the wonder of my world. But I think the food court should be larger. All the big franchises will want in.
Zangief: General, vhat about them?
[indicates Honda and Balrog]
Bison: Take them to the interrogation room. They will talk... or they will die.
[to Sagat]
Bison: Preferably both.
[to Zangief]
Bison: Take the, uh... journalist to my chambers. We have decided to grant her a private interview.
Ken: [to Chung-Li after having been spit on] You're gonna dehydrate yourself.
Victor Sagat: Guile? Alive!
Bison: Of course! His death was designed to ingraitate his spies with you!
[mockingly covers one eye]
Bison: I guess you didn't SEE that, did you?
Zangief: Quick, change the channel!
Bison: I hoped to meet Guile face-to-face on the battlefield, where we could engage each other in unarmed combat. Then I would snap his spine. But why? Why do they still call me a warlord? And mad? All I want to do is to create the perfect genetic soldier. Not for power, not for evil, but for good. Carlo Blanco shall be the first of many who shall march out of my laboratory and crush every adversary, every creed, every nation! Until the world is in the loving grip of the Pax Bisonica. And peace will reign and all humanity shall bow to me in humble gratitude.
Zangief: That vas beautiful boss!
Bison: Merely educational software. Why does he find it disturbing?
Dr. Dhalsim: Because, unlike you, he's not psychotic.
Bison: Game Over!
Zangief: General Bison is a bad guy? If you know then why do you work for him?
Dee Jay: Because he paid me a freakin fortune, Man! If you know what's good for you you'll save your own ass!
Zangief: ...you got paid?
Victor Sagat: Is this a joke? This money isn't even worth the paper it's printed on!
Bison: On the contrary. Every Bison dollar will be worth five British pounds. That is the exchange rate that the bank of England will implement after I kidnap their queen.
Bison: All I want to do is rule the world, is that so much to ask?
Its because ordinance is still a word.
However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.

Seriously... Street Fighter was epic because of Bison... the other parts? Not so much.
Oh man, and another classic. A movie about a guy in a purple jump suit, riding a white horse through the jungle...while duel weilding pistols?? How did this come off as a good idea?
Billy Zane should've just stopped making movies with Sniper

Weirdly I feel like that could be something from a shelf -> "I want to watch that crap" when does it air on Syfy ? hahahaha
I actually met Tommy Wiseau and he autographed my copy of The Room. I'm not sure if he was on a LOT of drugs, or if he's just like that.
@Breotan: Gymkata is amazing because its finale involves a Kurt Thomas killing a man with an Olympic floor routine. And it looks just like you're currently imagining.
EDIT: Has anyone suggested Ninja Terminator yet? I love Godrey Ho movies, and this is probably his crown jewel.

Terrible papier-mache baby? Check.
Vietnam flashback scenes filmed in the marshes of Long Island, with no budget and extras recruited from the asian bodega on the corner? Check.
Pointless awful terribly-acted 10+ minute scene of two mindless junkies arguing under an overpass? Check.
Bad guy's "tough" bodyguard is a fat dude with silly 80s hair wearing white plastic chains across his body? Check.
I could go on, but I don't want to probe those terrible memories any further.

Ok, your dead on at first. Your unbelievably wrong with your second point.
The third prequel, only time I've ever had a vocal outburst in a movie theatre. I actually stood up and shouted "feth you Lucas! feth you!".
Now, not counting the prequels, my top to selections would be.
Absolute worse: Freddy Got Fingered
Absolute worse to get drunk with and laugh at with your friends: Commando

Ugh, I hate movies like that.
I really like the movie Grown Ups. There's pretty much no storyline, the acting isn't brilliant, but it's so bloody funny at the same time.

I dunno...it makes sense to me that vampires would want to stop a zombie apocalypse.

Whilst Skyfall is my all-time favourite film, if any Bond film with Roger Moore in it starts playing on TV then I run out of the room, shut the door, stick my fingers in my ears and stay in my bedroom till the film ends. I hate Roger Moore.

I don't think it's Rogger Moore's fault those films are bad, I mean no on could have turned the scripts they had into a masterpiece.
It's actually quite a fun film - I'd recommend watching it. The reason I'm putting it here is the box/packaging.
Nowhere does it state anywhere on any external part of this dvd that this is a spanish film and IT'S IN SPANISH.
I don't mind watching foreign language films (Not keen on dubbing unless it's truly awful/comedic, but subtitles are fine by me) I would've just liked to know beforehand.

It's a bit more obvious now - I now know to check the actors names on the back. That would've been a bit of a clue...
Edit: Another few I forgot
The Tremors sequels.
