The two worst movies I've seen were so bad I can't remember the names. One was a typical Greek Gods on Olympus turkey where you could see jet contrails in the background and hear Air Bus A300's landing. The more interesting one historically was a Western starring a then verrrrry young Jack Nicholson. He must have gone to acting school after that one and before Five Easy Pieces. I have honestly never seen a worse performance. Jaw dropping.

Is there another Iron Sky film out there?

As for bad films, do the ones featured on MST3K count?

I think there was a second Iron Sky film. MST3K only counts if you watched them in their original form. ;)

Audio connection (sort-of): Commando, which is the worst Ah-nold movie (and that’s saying something).

We wandered into it because we wanted a THX demonstration—this was when THX was brand new. After the THX trailer, the guy in front of us stood up and said, “I saw what I came to see” and left.

We should have followed him. And we knew that in the opening scene, where Ah-nold was carrying a 20-foot log over a shoulder that could only have been made from Styrofoam. The whole audience erupted in laughter.

Normally, I feel murderous about people who make snide remarks in a movie theater, but somehow it was okay with Commando.

In one scene, the heroine finds a receipt for aviation fuel in a bad guy’s car, and announces, “Type 4 aviation fuel—that’s amphibian!”

The guy behind us: “Does that mean it’s water-based?”

A later scene: Ah-nold getting in an inflatable dinghy from said amphibious airplane with about 50 weapons, needed to kill a couple of hundred bad guys on an island. He removes his shirt, the better to row, one supposes. He takes a mighty pull on the oars. Behind him, in the direction he’s going, is clean, landless horizon.

My turn: “You’re rowing out to sea, friend.”

It was Schwarzenegger’s first comedy, and it sure seemed like he was the only person who didn’t realize it.

Isn't that the definition of a Chuck Norris film?
I won’t hear a word said against Chuck, I’m of a very different stripe to him politically but once he yoko geris that cowboy boot into a bad guys face it’s all forgotten.
