Lady Terminator, an indonesian version of Terminator, mixed with a local legend. I’ve been laughing all this movie. And here’s a quote from one of the policemen (after finding three guys whose manhood has been bitten sort of off) :

“The report says an eel. An eel? On dry land? I’ve heard of the ultimate blowjob, but… this is too much”.

Hope you’re still checking this thread.

Have to agree on Maximum Overdrive (made some time in the 80s) and Fortress (1992). I’ve only ever had three favourite so-bad-they’re-good movies and these were the first two.

My current favourite is Double Dragon (1994) which someone already suggested. It stars several people you actually recognise: Alyssa Milano, Scott Wolf, and Robert Patrick (who I’m a big fan of), and has an IMDB rating of 3.something. It’s about two high-kicking brothers who have to evade a bad guy who wants their piece of a powerful medalion. And it’s based on a video game (when that was considered an advertisement, not a warning).

There’s also Striptease, but it’s quite similar to Showgirls.

Best line in Double Dragon:
Bad guy to henchman- “I think of you like a son, and like a son, I can always have another.”

‘Deafula’ (1975)

As a reviewer from The Agony Booth said:
“All you really need to know about this movie is that it’s called Deafula, it’s about a deaf vampire, it’s performed entirely in sign language, and yes, it really exists.”

“Blood and Chocolate”
It seems you haven’t actually reviewed this yet.

I’m glad to see several suggestions for Santa With Muscles and I agree with the comment that any Hogan movie would do (although I’m sure several were attempting to be comedies). We just had a garage sale and I caught my wife trying to sell my copy for 10 cents. Luckily no one had bought it yet and I was able to rescue it so it can be the best white elephant gift ever at some future work holiday party, if I can bear to part with it.

Highlander 2
Island of Dr. Moreau
Roadhouse

All terrible movies, and fairly famous too.

Eric. I have to protest your no comedy rule. Nothing but Trouble is being left out. The only good thing about this movie is that it makes a perfect gag gift. People see who is in it and think it must be worth a viewing. Suckers….

I meant “post-Cold War” rather than “post-9/11″. Oops!

“Miracle Mile” (1989) – I happened to catch it on TV late last night and was mesmerized by its badness. I’m sure that my post-9/11 perspective affects my ability to appreciate it (as the reviews from the time were mostly positive), but yikes. Just yikes.

I second the nomination of “Dune”. Oh, the horror of “Dune”!
