This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Really bad movies that would make a fun RPG setting?

This clip still cracks me up:

My education as an amateur bad movie connoisseur seems to be paying off finally.

if you go by a certain cringey scene, your character will probably need a NAMBLA stat of some sort.

The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Took the halfways-plausible and fun adventure setting from the first two movies and dialed it up to 11, with disastrous results. The bright side is that it would be just gonzo enough for a fairly fleshed-out, if somewhat gonzo/ridiculous, campaign.

The first Pirates of the Caribbean is pretty universally applauded...do you mean the awful sequels?

And that's NIMH.

I love the fuck outta Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone. It's very eighties style of junkheap pulp space-opera really appeals to me.

I would love to play in a game where the PCs are space marines in the universe of every low-budget Alien rip-off ever made. Something like a much gorier, less intellegent, horror take on Space: Above and Beyond.

The wild world of Japanese exploitation movies is a rich, untapped vein for gonzo gaming. Two games have tried, with only marginal success at best: the interesting story-game Panty Explosion and the universally-loathed Black Tokyo.

Isn't that basically 3:16 Carnage Amongst the Stars?

I must investigate this 3:16 Carnage Among the Stars.

The thing that's so awesome about Miami Connection is the sheer adolescent joy of it. I don't know what the filming of it was really like, but watching it you get the feeling those guys bounded out bed each morning screaming "Let's go make a ninja movie!!! Whooo! Whooo!!! Fuck yeah!!! We're makin'  a ninja movie!!!".

Lucio Fulci's Conquest. Part Clash of the Titans, part Conan, part Quest for Fire, and liberally seasoned with Italian Horror. The effects are dated, but I'm pretty fond of this film.

I'm going with bad = low budget because I actually really like these movies, but Hell comes to Frogtown, They Live and Hardware. The first two star Roddy Piper and are just awesome, the last has some issues, basically turning into one of those "the caller is in the house" movies with a robot, but it has great atmosphere.

All three would be great settings for Post Apocalypse / decaying future society games.

I really love They Live and Hardware (even has an Iggy Pop voice cameo). Great settings for sure. You could probably add Nemesis to that, though I think this Terminator rip off is better than it gets credit for.

Escape from New York.

The Walking Dead (which I am so sick of now)

Avatar.  Actually either the last Airbender of Dances with giant blue kitty people.  

(I'm added movies I want to play, not necessarily bad movoes.)
