Stryker, SpongeBob was the first thing that came to mind when Hasselhoff was mentioned! Other than that and the Simpsons episode where Lisa was learning to say David Hasselhoff as a baby, I rarely think of him at all. Well I also think that a kid would have a heck of a time spelling his last name in a spelling bee.

I was a big fan of Knight Rider back in the day, and I even watched Baywatch Nights because of him. The Fury movie was one of those "made for TV" movies, I think, like the "Incredible Hulk Meets Thor" and such back in the day. Hasselhoff himself wasn't bad (and this movie had the FIRST mention of LMD's in a Marvel movie, I believe) but the REST of the movie- well, when your main villain is a Madam Hydra who looks like a cheap blonde hooker and the plot has more holes than Swiss cheese, you can guess what it was like.

Street Fighter hands down.

I'm still convinced that film is responsible for the death of Raul Julia.

So you're saying it had more holes than the movie Holes? Sorry, I couldn't resist. Yeah glad I skipped Nick. And for the record, Holes was alright. I liked the book better than the movie though. But I'm guessing Nick was holeier than Holes in terms of plot. Should stop trying to use metaphors after midnight. You feed them and they turn into something horrible! Oh and you can't get'em wet either.

Wingnut, you mentioned Raul Julia? You wanna see him in a bad movie, just watch Overdrawn at the Memory Bank if ya haven't already. The MST3K version is great because it dulls the pain. Although if Street Fighter is still causing you pain, maybe Memory Bank won't help at all!

Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li may not have a body count, but it might. I could see someone killing themselves over being involved in it. Easily worse than the original Street Fighter. Easily worse than almost everything.

I keep forgetting to mention it, because whenever I do, I can't sleep for two days. It's bad.

In terms of movies that I find 'so bad that they're good', I have to say that The Room and Birdemic are the worst films that I've ever seen.

The worst movie I have seen though is probably Thunderbirds. This is a movie based on a TV series that was a rather big part of my childhood about a rescue organization operating from a remote island in the pacific flying awesome vehicles to various parts of the world and saving people. What did the movie do wrong? Barely any Thunderbird rescuing with the majority of the time spent following some kids getting chased round an island by the villain's henchmen.

With this movie, they took a big part of my childhood and used it in order to cash in on Spy Kids (which was pretty big at the time the movie was made). This of course backfired. The movie sucked, and it bombed at the box office.

At least the original was a bit of fun to watch. Legend of Chun-Li took itself way too seriously and ended up being boring. Thunderbirds was pretty bad too.

"Team America: World Police" was in fact based on the "Thunderbirds" TV show from what I've read.

Fair point. Thankfully I have never seen The Legend of Chun Li in its entirety, Irish Bison and Liu Kang was just too much. I paid real money to sit in a theater and watch the original, my worst entertainment decision ever.

It was a few years after the fact, but Michael Clarke Duncan's early demise could be a proof for my theorem...

Reputable actor + live action Street Fighter movie = Death

*Krutch* · 02-01-2014, 07:54 PM

I'm pretty sure I've talked about The Legend of Chun-Li in another thread but I adore that film. It's just such a disaster, you gotta respect it. To this day my buddies and I still reference it and whenever we see an actor acting completely out of tone with the rest of the movie, we go "oooooh he's nashing out!"

LOL, yeah, you could say that. I know that some people will disagree with me, but one of the worst vampire movies I've ever seen was Twilight. It was okay for a "teen movie", but a movie about VAMPIRES?! No. Actually, HELL NO! It was so far down the list of "good" vampire movies that it would have given "Transylvania 6-5000" or "The Vampire Happening" a run for the money of "worst vampire movies" made. Although in all fairness, those were both obscure, low-budget films that at least had a decent EXCUSE for being bad. Twilight did not. And I was so disgusted by the "vampires" in it that I never even bothered to watch the rest of the series. Then again, I stopped reading the book after chapter two, it was so trite and boring.

~~Leo656~~ · 02-02-2014, 02:06 AM

Actually, I think the original Street Fighter has become a "So-Bad-It's-(almost/kinda) Good" cult classic. It's lousy, but as a snapshot of exactly why some 90s movies were SO awful, it's a good snapshot.

I can find nothing about "Legend Of Chun-Li" that's worth defending, though. It doesn't even have Raul Julia over-acting or Van Damme's little "Rah Rah Go USA" speech. At least that movie had a few chuckle-worthy "WTF" moments. The newer one is just wall-to-wall "WHY did they DO this?!"

At least by all evidence it killed Kristen Kreuk's career. I could never STAND her.

Always preferred Allison Mack meself.

~~Leo656~~ · 02-02-2014, 04:04 AM

Oh, yes. Yes, yes. Yes.

*blindturtle02* · 02-02-2014, 04:29 AM

Creuk was in that? I vaguely remember seeing Michael Clark Duncan on Craig Ferguson promoting that thing back in 2010, wasn't it? Didn't hear anything about it beforehand.

Duckie, I think I'm tempted to buy the Twilight saga but only so I can buy the accompanying rifftrax. My fiancé is big on romances and the like, but she despised Twilight. Can't say I care for it either. Enough has been said about the main protagonists already to echo my own beliefs. She and her sister also started the first book but returned each copy after the 2nd chapter or so. Small world, I know.

~~Leo656~~ · 02-02-2014, 04:36 AM

Poor, brave Michael Clarke Duncan. He put on such a brave face to promote such a piece of sh*t movie. He always tried so, so hard.

So awful. Even the visuals, just... so, so bad. The DOA movie wasn't "Good" by any objective scale, but it was perfect for a movie based on a fighting game based entirely around how hot the chicks are. And it was brilliant for what it was. With Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li, I just... I just don't even have any idea what they were trying to do.

I think they were either trying to 1. ) Batmanize Street Fighter. Or 2.) Intentionally piss off the fans. If it's the former that's stupid, and if it's the latter, that's Really stupid.

Bebe's Kids - I'm African American, and I'm offended by how stupid and mean spirited it was.

*shuriken* · 02-02-2014, 12:25 PM

Street Fighter 94 was great especially in that hammy kind of way. Raul Julia did a good job and you could tell he was having a blast (RIP).
Having a dude from Brussels play the all American hero Guile was bizarre but whateverar. Plus Kylie Minogue (before her terrible plastic surgeries) and people that actually looked like their videogame counterparts. (E. Honda, Vega and Zangeif come to mind).
Legend of Chun Li took itself waaay to seriously, it just kinda made me sad. Plus they picked one of the ugliest dudes ever to play Vega. (Vega is supposed to be a psychopathic pretty boy). Whatever.
OOOH Star-Kid was horrible. The idea was kinda cool but the execution was just bad.

*ObiWanFan4life* · 02-02-2014, 01:16 PM

Double Dragon - Not quite as bad as Street Fighter, bit still really bad.

~~Leo656~~ · 02-02-2014, 05:34 PM

Ahh, Kylie Minogue as Cammy. See? That movie's not entirely worthless.

Holy Sh*t, "BeBe's Kids". I swear nobody's even said that movie's name out loud since 1995.
