Get Crazy (1983)Hippies, punks, teens, and musicians mix at The Saturn for a every year for a New Year's Eve concert. But this time, Colin Beverly plans to sabotage it so he can demolish the building and build a mega-skyscraper for his record label.So far, typical 80s small-time villain fare. But the vibe is off, they seem to be shooting for Airplane! or Police Squad! style zany, but more obvious, more relentless, more over the top, and less funny.Barely a scene goes by without, say, an anthropomorphic joint getting chased by firefighters, or stage manager Neil seeing his love interest and turning into a jungle me-Tarzan-you-Jane fantasy, except they're still talking about the show. It's like they made the whole movie out of the dream sequence.Starring Malcolm McDowell, Alan Garfield, Ed Begley, Jr., with appearances by Bill Henderson and Lou Reed(!)imdb.com/title/tt0085551@bmoviebonanza

@Sergio @janonymous The best bad films are like clown shoes. Clown shoes are funny because of information asymmetry: as an audience member, you can clearly see that the clown is wearing clown shoes, but it's always surprising to the clown when they trip over them.Similarly, some of the best bad films are the ones where the production team is convinced they're making the next blockbuster, but you know they actually made Alien Private Eye.

    Twister's Revenge (1988)Absolutely bonkers hot mess of a film from producer/director Bill Rebane (Monster a Go-Go, The Giant Spider Invasion). Three yokels (who are like The Three Stooges if Moe was a redneck doing a Joe Pesci impression) decide to steal the computer running a KITT-ripoff nsentient AI self-driving monster truck. Hilarity ensues.This one has some very bizarre stuff, with occasional flashes of confoundingly competent filmmaking, like the cartoon-style first chase scene. No matter how bad this film is, it's still got a monster truck crushing stuff and an epic battle sequence finale.imdb.com/title/tt0133246/@bmoviebonanza
