I think some people are stretching the definition of bad to mean "mediocre" or "didn't perform well at the box office." Death Race 2000 is by no means a bad movie. It's awesome.

Quote from: Christopher Brady;1002619Star Wars.  And I'm serious.

Revenge of the Sith, with it's massive epic battles and melodrama that makes a Cambodian soap opera look subtle, would have been a fucking hoot to play in as an RPG campaign.

My son turns 8 tomorrow and loves the light saber battle on the volcano planet. So they managed to hit the bullseye as far as the target audience for Star Wars goes!

Battle Beyond the Stars was the first thing that came to mind.

I am stretching "bad" to mean what I want it too.

I'd have fun running a session in EQUILIBRIUM's world.

Defining a bad movie is easy : if the bad guys wear motorcycle helmets, it's a bad movie.

Heck, if the  good guys wear motorcycle helmets, it's probably a bad movie.

Jabberwocky. (Not a Monty python film BTW.)

It's not bad either.

Then I nominate The Wraith, where the Wraith spends most of the movie in a black 'Stig' suit to hide the fact that Charlie Sheen was only on set for like 2-3 days.

Why not some of the bad movies that actually were part of the background of D&D?

"The Vikings" with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis.  The best part is Earnest Borgnine having WAY too much fun as Ragnar the Viking Chief.

"The Long Ships" with Richard Widmark and Sidney Poitier.  "De Long Sheeps!"

"Prince Valiant" with Robert Wagner in a pageboy wig.

"Black Shield of Falworth" isn't bad so much as corny.  Tony Curtis does NOT say "Yonda lies the castle of my faddah!"

"The Talisman."  Watch Robert Preston having a lark as Saladin in a chop up of a Walter Scott tale.

"The Magic Sword" has dragons, wizards, magic armor and weapons, and of course the Magic Sword.  What it doesn't have is a script, acting, or directing.

"The Warriors" with Errol Flynn in his last movie role as Edward the Black Prince.  Alan Hale Sr. is there as always, this time as Sir John Chandos.

"The Raven."  This one isn't bad, but it's camp as hell with Vincent Price and Peter Lorrie in a movie that shaped a lot of the spells in D&D.  As a special bonus see Jack Nicholson in his first ever movie role, prancing around in tights.

Shoot, I know all of those. Now I'm going to watch them again. I wonder how many are readily available.

Fuck this board. Goddam typed a long reply and this fucked up board lost it!  Lemme guess, sjw fasicsts and feminazi  hackers, right?

Anyway, an Italian director created a 4 movie set called the "gamma one series"  set around a station called "gamma one".  They also took place on earth and various alien planets. The movies were horribly done and the English dub didn't help.  Still they had a certain grand vision the budget didn't really cover. So they give a variety of settings to use.

There was another spaghetti sf movie made called " battle of the worlds" with Claude rains that looks, sounds, feels and acts like a gamma one movie so you can add it in too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Worlds

Also the more well known movie "green slime" was written as a fifth gamma one movie but was picked up and made by another studio with an international cast.  Even with a bigger budget it was quite bad but entertaining. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Slime

So why base a RPG on one bad movie when you can have 6?
