Jaws 4

Ohhhh man, how did it take this long for that one to get a mention?? I mean, "Jaws 3-D" was bad. But "4" was worse.

I actually paid $$ to see "Jaws: The Revenge" (aka Jaws 4) in a theatre in upstate NY when it first came out. If its legendary failure at the box office is anything to go by, I must be one of only a few dozen people on planet Earth who can make that claim.

I saw it at one of those cool old fashioned single-screen small town movie theatres (which were already a dying breed, even that many years ago) near my grandparents' house. I doubt my brother and I saw the name on the marquee and said "Cool, let's go see the new Jaws movie!"; more like it was the only movie theatre within 40 miles so we didn't have any other choices.

Nothing better than the shark getting impaled then exploding for no dicernable reason !

I felt like I was impaled after sitting through this movie.

STROKER ACE!

Man there are some lousy movies in this thread.

Detuned's mention of "Stroker Ace" brought this one to mind:



When race car driver Brewster Baker is stopped at a gas station, parts are stolen from his race car. Then while in a diner in a small Texas town, he sees some people stealing parts from another car, and chases the thieves. When the thieves' van goes into a river, Brewster rescues them and discovers that they are orphaned children. The kids were stealing auto parts for a corrupt sheriff, who jails Brewster for breaking and exiting, larceny, resisting arrest and speeding. After the kids help break Brewster out of jail, Brewster reluctantly takes the children with him. Eventually, they form a friendship and bond.

Ohhhhh yeah!

She was the highlight of the movie, if memory serves. She was also the only good thing about "Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday."

She was the only reason I used to watch Buck Rogers.

I guess Hollywood has gone through all the good movies to re-invent. According to a list that someone posted elsewhere 'round here, this "classic" is scheduled for a re-make.

Here's hoping for a starring role for Larry the Cable Guy and a sweet NASCAR tie-in. At which point the seventh seal will be broken and armageddon will be upon us. Prepare to meet thy maker, sinners.

How about Eegah ? A very very boring movie starring Richard "Jaws" Kiel as a resurrected caveman. Man, what a dull movie !

Now this is the worst movie ever and I still own it.

I've seen this is some of those gigantic collections on 3 disc sets but I've never actually seen it.

Yea, that one falls into the "it's-so-bad-it's-GOOD" category.

Kinda surprised that "Troll 2" hasn't been mentioned yet. I don't believe I've ever seen it myself, but that one seems to make a lot of people's "Worst Ever" list.

The reason I bring it up is cuz one of my Facebook friends recently sent me the trailer for a documentary (!) about "Troll 2" called "Best Worst Movie" -- apparently it's developed a "Rocky Horror" style cult following over the years. Who knew? The director of the documentary was one of the kids in "Troll 2" and he did the movie as kind of a "Where Are They Now?" about the rest of his fellow cast members. Looks like a lot of fun.

I forgot about that one. They showed that on The This channel here in Sacramento. My family and I watched it and just about died from laughing.........
