Five Crap Movies I Love to Watch

Five Crap Movies I Love to Watch
I was literally spoiled for choice at this task, inspired by Ray via Jono's Urban Stone Blog!!
I see Rocky Balboa and Diehard have new instalment due... some would include the 'Blues Brothers' in this kind of list because they have no taste for films....
Dumb and Dumber has its moments and we always used to include a Chuck Norris film in our mid 80's allnighters... I especially remember one where running through an open plan office, Norris falls over a waste paper bin and with one leg still atop it he takes a gun from the bottom desk drawer, points at his pursuer and fires.... the next camera shot neatly shows his own toe and that of his right shoe missing!! Great shot!
Anyhow.... at the risk of ridicule and judgement...

1. “Rambo: First Blood” starring Sylvester Stallone
“Boogetta, boogetta, boogetta” From the first dulcet tones uttered by Sly Stallone to the incredible plot that has him cutting down one State Trooper after the next… leaves me wanting more. Perhaps this films endearing qualities are lost on the average punter but any Richard Crenna cameo is worth a look. This film is perhaps only outdone by John Rambo singlehandedly liberating Afghanistan from the Russians. “Who are you?” “I’m your worst nightmare!!”

2. “Pink Panther” starring Peter Sellers
Choose any of the first three, after that Blake Edward lost the plot [literally].
At High School my mate Graham and I would catch the train for the 30min journey from Maitland to Newcastle to see the new release Pink Panther from the masterly Peter Sellers. Without exception we would leave the cinema with sides aching from laughing so much… particularly at the interplay between Kato and Clouseau.

3. “Last Action Hero” starring Arnold Swarzenegger
So nobody got the joke!! Arnold is so wooden and unrealistsic that when he decided to do a film poking fun at the genre and cleverly trying to do a “Purple Rose of Cairo” with action figures jumping between the world and the film. Some clever scenes as the young boy tries to convince Arnold’s character that not everyone’s phone number begins 555 and in the video shop where Sylvester Stallone apparently stars in some classic Arnie roles!!

4. “Diehard 3” starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson
John McLane and an African American store owner play the robbers game as they zig zag across New York to prevent a bomb blast in a local School. Its all a distraction while the real plot unfolds. How the whole plot swings on a bottle of headache medication from Van Nuys is just a remarkable thing!! Yipeeoo Kiyee….

5. “Striptease” starring Demi Moore
I know, I know…. A film that promised so much and then destroyed the book the story was drawn from by offering us nothing more than Demi’s naked and surgically enhanced body and a dumb sleazy cameo from Burt Reynolds!! Need I say more!! In the end Ving Rhames minor role shines amongst some other ordinary performances!! This is an intellectual film compared to GI Jane!!
