I don't know how They Live ended up having two professional wrestlers giving us the worst fight scene since Kirk took on a Gorn.
But at least we got some badass one liners.

The OG Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter movies are dope. I don't care what anyone else says.
The first MK movie was the archetypal "It's good... for a video game adaptation" movie for a long time. Luckily now we have great adaptations (not necessarily movies though) to point to that stand on their own merits.
But yeah, there's always a part of me that will have fond memories of MK and the JCVD Street Fighter movie. Hell, add Double Dragon to that list.

I don't think I've seen the Street Fighter movie, but Mortal Kombat rocks.

The Last Dragon. It's a blacksploitation movie that was trying to mirror popular kung fu movies, but "in the ghetto".
It's cringe. The fight scenes are meh. The plot is.... something to do with a kidnapping maybe?
It has some cool glowy bits. 10/10.
Sho-nuff!
Who is the master!?

Hot wheels Exceleracers but it's not a bad movie
That film is well beyond bad, it's so, so bad it's actually amazing. I try to get as drunk as the actors when i rewatch it every other year or so
Cars 2
It wasn't until 2024 that the world understood how perfect it was to cast John Leguizamo as Luigi.

Disney's The Black Cauldron. Apparently it was so bad it like...almost killed off Disney animation for good? But I loved that shit as a kid. No idea why we had it, either. I was born almost a decade after it came out. Eilonwy deserves her place with the Disney Princesses, damn it!
Wait, that movie bombed?? I really enjoyed that one as a kid! I even rewatched it as an adult and still enjoyed it!
Granted it had more of a "gritty" feel comparatively, but still excellent IMO
I saw that in I think Carnegie Hall with an orchestra doing the music when it got released. The kids such as myself liked it but the parents were silent.

Fun fact, the two leads were drunk most of that movie because, well, because they were the two leads in that movie.
The directors, yes two of them, were horrible to work with according to pretty much everyone that worked on it.
I like to imagine Bob Hoskins was a fun drunk
I picture him as a fun cross between Capt Hook and Eddie (from Roger Rabbit) when drunk. Im down for it.

Spare a thought for the animatronic Yoshi who remained stone cold sober for the entire shoot.
That thing was so cool, and disappointing, at the same time. We didn't care though, we were kids. It was awesome.
