General Discussion : Dumb low budget action flicks

[edkrak]

Anyways, as laudable as this topic is, I don't completely understand the focus. Are we talking about films that are shit and are unintentionally funny, or dumb low budget action flicks that are actually good?

To be honest I find it hard to make the distinction in many examples, so I think both your categories are good to go.
Let's take "Carnosaur 3" for example. Dinosaur effects are awful and laughable, but on the other hand I find this film to be well-paced and entertaining (even if it's stupid and full of plot-holes). I have no idea how to qualify it using your description. It's shit and good at the same time.

A local theatre plays these types of movie once a week, and I chronicle them here. The films you've listed, as well as many other suggestions, are already on it, but I thought it might prove interesting to you:

(Obviously, there's some horror and fantasy thrown in there as well, but you get the idea.)

Quality collection.

The works of Jean Claude Van-Dame, Wings Hauser and Andy Sidaris were the only ones that I really sought out.

Was Hard Ticket to Hawaii the one with the snake on the plane? It's been years. I need to give these another go.

[edkrak]

Yes, that's the one. Are his other films as hilarious as Hard Ticket?
Seriously, this film is a masterpiece of crap, 90 minutes of pure awesomeness.
Just look at that (SPOILERS!!):

The only thing I remember about the other movies are the boobs. They all kind of blur together.

[edkrak]

I saw first American Ninja. No violence, no sex, not even single pair of boobs. Kinda lame. Like a B-movie for kids. Definitely not my cup of tea.

Michael Dudikoff sucks.

[edkrak]

Yeah, I agree. And the worst thing about this film - there's naked Judie Aronson in the bushes, but instead of her they show close up of Dudikoffs chest.
