This week’s edition of Eric’s Bad Movies at Film.com deals with the redundantly titled “D-War: Dragon Wars,” a direct-to-video movie that somehow finagled its way into actual theaters in 2007. This is the most recent film I’ve done in Eric’s Bad Movies — usually things from the 2000s are off-limits because I reviewed them when they came out. But “D-War: Dragon Wars” wasn’t screened for critics when it opened (big surprise), and I never got around to seeing it until now. It’s been sitting there, ripe, awaiting mockery all this time.
Then there is What’s the Big Deal? at Film.com, this week addressing Charlie Chaplin’s “City Lights” (1931), one of the best films from the silent era. (Actually, it came out after the silent era. That’s one of the interesting aspects covered in the article. Go read it.)
You have been exceptionally hilarious on the past couple Bad Movies…. never ever stop these please.
This movie is quite terrible indeed, but somehow it is fun to watch in its inept badness. The rifftrax for this movie is quite awesome.
rifftrax for this is hilarious. Mostly because this movie makes no sense. They don’t even mention where the bad guys come from or how they manage to live thousands of years. One of my favorite lines: “Don’t try using the magic amulet again. It’s brought nothing but problems.”
Is this a sequel?

Just wanted to point out that “Buraki” means “Beets” in Polish. The more you know.
