A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

FRIENDS THROUGH ETERNITY

LOYALTY, HONESTY

WE'LL STAY TOGETHER THROUGH THICK OR THIN

Probably the most sincere so-bad-it's-good movie ever made?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I've been saying the same. Movies that are just as sincere are not nearly as good-bad as this.

I worry it can't possibly live up to the cover art.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It absolutely does. It's easily an S-tier bad movie. What makes it special to me is that it's very earnest and even wholesome throughout. It has plenty of terrible acting and questionable choices, but it was made by someone who really believed in it and wanted to genuinely spread a positive message. It's worth your time.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

You were so right. I can't believe it's real.

Dude it's so fucking good. This is one of the few movies on this sub I've seen and can vouch for. Karate rock band fighting motorcycle ninjas?? Incredible.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It was incredible. It might be the most '80s thing that exists. It was stunning.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

It's so true. It makes me so happy you watched it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Everyone. If you haven't seen this, immediately stop what you're doing and remedy that particular situation. There's Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, and this. Not even necessarily in that order.

Awesome cover art

Only through the elimination of violence can we achieve world peace.

Y K Kim really just went all in and it's hilarious.

@LaurenceWolse An Andy Sidaris classic!

Here's a GIF I made of my favorite moment from this film.

Interesting. Still doesn't work for me. Hmmm hmm

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You're right, it is a classic! Sidaris isn't the director however (Y.K. Kim and Richard Park are). I think you might have it confused with Malibu Express? ;)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

@LaurenceWolse Oooh, you're right, thanks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

This movie fucking rocks! And kicks ass! And jams! And rips!

I could do more slang words appropriate to the movie but I'll show some restraint.

Seriously love this movie though. Thank you Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon for inadvertently introducing this movie to me. _Friends for eternity! _

It was an era of vests and shirts that looked like vests.
