The silliest science fiction and fantasy movies of all time

Iron Skies. Started out as a spoof film about invading Nazis from the Moon, then 2/3 of the way through the film the director seems to get thrown through a window and wakes up with a personality change, as the film turns very quickly into a political, serious film about humanity's hunger for resources and destruction.

I've watched it and tend to agree. There were some amusing parts but then others that just didn't work. The stormtroopers looking at the men's magazine was funny, the Sarah Palin President, the British ambassador representing the only country not to arm their spaceship.

My brother and sister and I loved that film. I haven't seen it for about 40 years! I want to see it again just for old time's sake.

It's a very painful film to watch .:D
 
I wish I could remember the name of the worst one I have seen. I sat down at a friend's house as he was watching some low-budget seemingly near-future action film. It was imported and the subtitles seemed to be terribly translated, so I had no idea what was going on. But it had the most ridiculous scenes I have ever seen. Braziers that were really flamethrowers, assassins that have blades come out of the derriere and proceed to sword fight via bad twerking, and an apartment building that was actually a robot that started to go all King Kong on the neighborhood. It didn't seem like it was meant to be a comedy by how dramatic everyone was acting, but maybe there was satire lost in translation. I mean, there were buildings that became wounded and bled. Buildings. Bleeding. It was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen.

I wish I could remember the name or figure out Google keywords that would find it again, but alas no success.

THE best place to find out would be:

http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000001/threads/

I am constantly amazed at how fast the people who hang out there identify films from the flimsiest of descriptions.

The worst choice was Aeon. I like Charlez Theron but, she was the the wrong choice for the lead role . She didn't look the part ,at all nor did she really capture the character in any way.

Didn't she get badly injured in a stunt and so was unable to do other planned stunts? If she seemed wooden that may have been the plaster of Paris.

She was wrong for the part. Someone like Uma Thermon might have been a better choice?

Weird Science 1985 Off the wall , silly and insane.:D I loved that film .(y)
