The silliest science fiction and fantasy movies of all time

I was speaking of The Matrix (which is what I assumed Dave meant, though I may have been wrong). I think if I had to pick just one, I'd pick Bound but The Matrix certainly had a bigger impact.

(I'm answering this straight, though it occurs to me that maybe you've seen The Matrix, know it's a Wachowskis film, dislike it, and are being sarcastic. :))
 
I was kind of being sarcastic (but vaguely hopeful that I'd missed something).

Bound is great. Tight, stylish and genuinely interesting. It baffles me how the W Bros went from that, to pompous OTT crud like the Matrix films without pausing for breath. I mean it took Kubrick years to get from The Killing to 2001. The W's did it one move.
 
Green Slime 1968 Japanese American produced film about a Space Station menaced by silly looking tentacled monsters , that discharge electricity. The film is pure camp and pure fun. :D
 
The Amazing Captain Nemo 1978 an Irwin Allen Production , this film pure hokum. It's a bad but fun to watch. :D
 
Hawk The Slayer 1980 . This film proves that it possible to do a lavish fantasy adventure film with almost no budget. (y):D:p

They lost the sound track to that film [THE CREEPING TERROR], that why it has almost no dialogue and it's narrated. :)

I thought the thing resembled a Chinese parade dragon because people's feet were sticking out from underneath the costume. I bought a set of 50 SCIFI INVASION films, just for that one turkey! :LOL:

Oh, gosh. I remember that stupid thing from decades ago. (I think the title doesn't have "the.") As I recall, the main source of "comedy" was the fact that a man and a woman were on the Moon togther -- would they have *giggle* sex?

EDIT: Research reveals that the title was the awkwardly punctuated Way . . . Way Out.

When I was a kid, that thing was on so very often! It did have both Astronauts & Cosmonauts on somewhat friendly terms, though with occasional antagonisms. Thinking of the guy who sent JLewis's character to the moon, Robert MorlEy, as I recall, was one of the targets of Vincent Price's character's revenge in Theater of Blood, one of the silliest, though violent films. It was just silly when VP's character, Edward Lionheart exacted vengeance on Morley's character, Meredith Merridew.
Lionheart posed as a famous chef, COOKED THE GUY'S PRIZED POOCH, served it to him, which he ate with delight, then brought out a covered dish, which was the dog's head. lifted the cover, the guy turned white with revulsion, then grabbing a large funnel & a toilet plunger, VP stuffed the rest down his throat! :D:devilish: I recall reading something about ancient history, some king did a similar thing to his general for not killing some other guy, I think Cyrus the Great. So, this guy cooks the general's son, & in similar fashion, though without the funnel or plunger. :eek::devilish:

Actually, one of the silliest lines was in THE WRATH OF KHAN; As they were all about to die, Spock, known for his logic, says such a dumb thing. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." If he had been true to form, it would have been something like better one should die, than many. :whistle:
 
My current all time silly SF film is now The Terrornauts a 1967 British film of incredible dreadfulness:

Oh look... It's on Youtube! Why should I suffer alone?


I can thoroughly recommend the stunning unspecial effect around the 15 minute mark when the plume from a (volcanic?) eruption in the foreground goes behind a moon high in the sky.

Tanks for the link, JunkMonkey! I nearly forgot: Nazis at the Center of the Earth is apparently supposed to be serious, but--:LOL:
when the Hitler cyborg finally shows up :D:p:lol:! Its a cross between They Saved Hitler's Brain, & a certain episode of FUTURAMA, in which Bender sells his body & Nixon's head buys it! Actually the final boos in WOLFENSTEIN 3D also comes to mind!

Let us not forget Zombie Strippers! :confused:
 
If you want to see a really cheap, horrible fun to watch science fiction fim check out Fantastic Invasion of Planet Earth. 1966 (y) originally it was called The Bubble .
 
Has anyone here seen A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell ? This one is must see film. :D
 
Fantastic Invasion of Planet Earth: I can find this on DVD, but $22 is too much to satify my curiosity. A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell: I think I just put that one in my NetFlix queue, but it is not available to borrow at this time.

I'm desperately trying to forget Zombie Strippers - as well as A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell. Dreadful POSs* both of them.









*or should that be 'PsOS'?
