TORQUE : a sheer blasphemic movie towards motorbike entusiasts.
There is no way 2 people can talk to eachother riding two bikes at high speed one behind another; too much noise. unless of course they had radios in the helmets something of which the movie did not tell......
When Ford jumps his motorcycle onto the train, he skids his rear wheel to stop, extending his right leg for balance. This is impossible since the right foot is needed to engage the rear brake. There is no other way of doing it.
In the movie, both Ford and the two chicks somehow do a burnout, lift the front wheel, and spin 90 degrees, all without moving. This is impossible. A burnout happens when you lose traction, and a wheelie happens when you have too much. And the spinning is just impossible.
When Ford is trying to pass the two cars that are racing, he grabs a handful of front brake, but the camera shows the rear wheel locking up. Ford would not lock up the front brake like that, it would make him crash.
Ford rides a sport bike, not a custom, contrary to what all the news reporters are saying.
SHAME ON YOU !

Here are the top fave worst movies I ever saw in a theatre ( with the exception of #5, I walked out of all of 'em).
5. Candyman 2 - Y'know, when it comes to bad movies, my mind mind doesn't retain too much memory for them. I honestly can't remember a single shot of this movie. I just remember not leaving the theatre b'cuz I was on a date at the time & we were watching this at her suggestion.
And I didn't want to be rude. Or maybe I just didn't want to lessen my chances of getting laid that night by criticizing her choice of film to see.
Or are those two things the same thing?
And I can't even remember if I did end up gettin' any that night.
Forgettable movie, forgettable date, why am I still writing about it?
4. One of those goddamn Freddy Kruger movies. I think that the quality was bad enough that it caused my brain to forget most of it, to the point that I can't remember which one it was. All I remember is that it was one of the sequels and that one of the blood vessels in my eyes popped because I wouldn't listen to it's silent yet violent twitching cries for mercy.
3. Battlefield Earth - I genuinely wanted to die during this movie.
2. Graphitti Bridge - Oh lord....
1. Thorr The Barbarian - the fact that it was spelled with 2 'r's should've been a tip off.

Open Water was the worst film I ever saw, hands down. There just was not enough material there to warrant a 90 minute film. They spent about an hour in total bobbing around in the sea, either bickering mildly, or not speaking at all.

This isn't gpoing to go down well with some, but DEATHPROOF was shockingly bad.
I've never walked out on a film at the cinema because it was so poor, but unfortunately Tarantino was well past his sell by date on this turkey.
I was never drawn to Deathproof out of the two movies of Grindhouse, with PLanet Terror being a great cinematic romp through classic exploitation and genre filmmaking, with an incredible aesthetic. Tarantino's effort on teh other hand seemed tame in comparison, but I thought when the option to watch the two in their original form as Grindhouse popped up, that I would give it a go.
My gripe isn't just a flippant one, the movie is dull. With over 30-40mins of progressively pointless Tarantino male dialogue scraps, rejected from previous films, and fed into the mouths of his spunky female cast, was too much for me. All of this is shot solely from the diector's preferred fetitishistic foot, leg and bum angle. I'm not a feminist but even I was getting offended after 30 mins.
Considering Planet Terror's ability to get on with being schlock and forgo any real depth, Deathproof holds an unecessary prentention of greater subtext, that doesn't exist.
The narrative meanders, the characters are unlikable in any direction and by the time that the killing starts in it's rather viscious manner, without any hint of homage, the whole thing stinks of being a poorly thought misogynistic w**k.

How can you possibly choose just three? impossible.
Here's a few that p*ssed me right off.
Hudson Hawk, really, what the heck is this crap about, I think I've said it before on here but I just really got annoyed watching this crap, I almost put a hammer through the TV screen in the gurney chase scene, I was like "I know you're Bruce Willis, but don't mock me!!", maybe it's a deep and meaningful film, but by the time it gets to that point I'm too drunk to care, I've tried watching it three times and ended up hammer drunk every attempt.
Rise Of The Footsoldier, I think I discussed this elsewhere.
30 Days Of Night, I've said it before and I'll say it again, how can you possibly screw up a film about vampires besieging a town that has 30 days without sunlight? well, they somehow managed it.

Ooops, this movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. Fatally flawed and nonsense narrative, but it does have two great performances from Richard E Grant and Sandra Bernhard.

Well, it's a while since I watched it and I've only seen it the once, but the main couple of reasons I disliked it,
The timescale in the film, they're supposed to be up against these vampires for 30 days, yet it feels like 2 at the most, some might argue that that is the point, because it's constantly dark you're supposed to lose all sense of time, but I don't buy that argument, they really made a mess of that aspect of the film IMHO, it seems to skip days at a time with no explanation, in the last scene it was the 7th now it's the 11th and we don't have to tell you where the days inbetween went.
Spoiler! Highlight the box below to view the hidden text.
When Josh Hartnett's character turns himself into a vampire at the end to fight the vampires. What the heck is that about? so he wouldn't be a bloodthirsty monster like the rest of them? we're just supposed to suspend all disbelief and say OK, he's a GOOD vampire and he's stronger than the head bad vampire as soon as he injects himself with vampire blood? NO NO NO, it's bloody insulting (no pun intended)
I love horror films, including a lot that are widely regarded as bad films, and I really wanted to enjoy this one, I just couldn't. It does have a couple of good scenes, the aerial view of the townsfolk being attacked was very well done I think and if you're a gore fan this will be a treat for you, but it's just not enough IMO.
A lot of people have argued with me that I didn't like it because I haven't read the books, that you should read the books to really fully understand and enjoy it. Well I'm sorry but no, no you shouldn't have to have read the books to enjoy it, you should be able to go and see it and get the whole picture from the film alone otherwise it's pointless making it into a film if only fans of the books can truly enjoy it. Truth be told I wasn't aware that it was based on a graphic novel until the credits rolled. I've never read Sin City or 300, but I thoroughly enjoyed the movies. I've never read any Batman or Superman comics but I love and understand the whole concept of the films and the characters fine, I've seen a lot of films based on Stephen King's work and loved them, without reading the preceding novel. That argument just doesn't cut the mustard.
I understand this film has a following, fair enough, I've never been one to judge other peoples taste in films, but I just don't like it, I really think it could have been a lot better.

Good point, but that sticks closely to the original comic book, and I happily let it rideI love horror films, including a lot that are widely regarded as bad films, and I really wanted to enjoy this one, I just couldn't.

Yeah visually David Slade's work is great. Have you seen Hard Candy? The film I'm currently in post production on was visually inspired by it.
A lot of people have argued with me that I didn't like it because I haven't read the books, that you should read the books to really fully understand and enjoy it.

Yeah, that's right, it isn't a prerequisite to read the original material. In fact it can be disappointing to like a paper text and then see the movie adaptation. The narrative synergy between the two formats doesn't often work. Although Sin City is an exception. I dread The Watchman adaptation.I understand this film has a following, fair enough, I've never been one to judge other peoples taste in films, but I just don't like it, I really think it could have been a lot better.

LOL Unlucky.

It's like when you catch a TV show you're interested in, maybe three different times, and all three times it'll be a rerun of the exact same episode. I'm looking at you, Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Yeah, it was worse than when I found out who kasier soze was. Apparently someone thought I had watched it with them, and when I said I hadn't seen it, thought telling me how it ends might jog my memory.
And it really is amazing how many times they can show reruns. The worst offender off all time had to be Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles. Because it was only shown in syndication, and used relatively new 3d animation technology, it took weeks for new episodes to get made, and while they waited for the next 5 episode story arc, they just showed all the previous episodes completely out of order. The good news is, netflix has the entire series, so I can finally finish it off and be done with it. The bad news is, they never made the last few episodes, so it doesn't really have an ending. The bastards.
