Worst Movie(s) you have seen?

"Dead Or Alive" was in a sense "bad on purpose", but only in that it was doing a very literal "live action video game" the way "Speed Racer" was a live action cartoon. That approach isn't to everyone's taste, but frankly, I think it works better that way. DOA games are ridiculous and absurd, and the movie being so over-the-top was exactly what I was hoping for. Plus... NASH!

I heard from him that pretty much the entire cast had severe food poisoning for the entire shoot and that it was a pretty lousy experience for everyone involved. But the checks cleared, so there's that.

First time I saw "Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li" and the DOA movie, I watched them back-to-back. Street Fighter was a total disaster, and beyond that, for something SO bad it actually tried to take itself seriously, which was a huge mistake. Watching DOA right after was actually an amazing contrast, because it did right everything SF did wrong. Except for the lack of Hitomi. I was pretty pissed at the complete lack of Hitomi. She's in the credits but I swear her part must have been 3 seconds long.

I'unno, I like it. It's one of the best video game movies ever, for sure. Very low bar, obviously, but it took a silly premise and had some fun with it.
