Ok, After seeing Grindhouse, it brought back a lot of memories of old "B" movies. I guess the B movie has been turned into the straight to video release. Now you don't expect much out of a "B" movie made with almost no budget, and no actors of any acclaim, but thinking back there were some major studio movie releases that I thought were great then, but now I find below some grindhouse flicks.

Here are 3 big studio flicks:
Commando - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Cobra - Sylvester Stallone
Delta Force - Chuck Norris


As a teenager, I loved these movies, as an adult I wonder what the hell I was thinking.

Have any?

Here's a kung fu classic...The Last Dragon. Who's the master "SHO NUFF" yeah. And who could forget Big Trouble in Little China. Awesomeness one flying roundhouse kick after another.

Dumb and Dummer but I don't think that was a B movie. They still make tons of cash off of it.

OK, I must be too adolescent, I still laugh at this movie.


I was talking about not "B" movies that are as bad as "B" movies.

LOL, Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon, with the typical 80's music. Exactly!!!roud:

Ah sorry but I do have a "B" movie.

Army of Darkness

 

[Burks]

Any of the Sniper movies.

Did they even go to the movie theater?

 

[ringram]

haha, I've been a B movie fan for years, particularly with horror movies.
Peter Jackson's:
Bad Taste
Dead Alive

Lucio Fulci's:
Zombies 2

My friend also has a movie from the early 90s...so bad it's funny, called Sorority House Massacre 2

Also, anyone ever see any movies with Frank Stallone? (Sly's brother, who had a short-lived B movie career). Very bad acting/funny type of stuff.

Also, Army of Darkness is borderline B movie. The predecessors (Evil Dead 1 & 2) definately are, but AOD was in the theatres, had a larger budget and did fairly well I thought.

Edit: Burks -- Yes, I think the original Sniper with Tom Berenger and that snobby villian from Titanic was in the theaters. I actually watched that about 2-3 years ago and really enjoyed it. I haven't seen the sequels, but I heard they weren't as good. No, I don't think any of those
made it to theatres.

I thought Slither was fantastic, but I'm a big Firefly fan, so anything with Captain Malcom Renolds in it I LOVE.

That movie was pretty horrible though :hihi:

 

[mrbelvedere]

I'll go for Smokin' Aces.

 

[sandiegoryu]

Not much. I haven't lived that much to experience it though . Maybe the pokemon movies? LOL. But I haven't seen it now so I can't judge a movie through the stereotype of pokemon being "silly."

Hm.... I dunno. How about Kung Fu Hustle? I saw it too many times (maybe like 50 times) and now its boring. But after two months or so I watch it again and its brilliant again. LOL. Otherwise I've enjoyed or hated all my movies and still do.

 

[cliner]

U.S Marshalls baby!!!

 

[triple red]

starship troopers 2 (gouge your eyes out now):icon_lol:

 

[conduct]

Tremors 2,3 and 4

 

[mott]

OMG you hit it on the head with "Dead Alive". The rat scene alone would classify
it as b movie status lol.
Great movie tho

 

[rodney]

Power Rangers!?!

 

[sandiegoryu]

POWER RANGERS IS AWESOME! HOW DARE YOU! .

But I've seen movies that I thought were horrible when I was youngER but now realize it was a brilliant movie recently. Such as Totoro or Princess Mononoke.

Also all the classic movies you see in school.
