Certain movies have earned global fame for being awful.

Flicks likeThe Room,Battlefield Earth, andBirdemichave become iconicprecisely because they’re so bad.

However, they barely scratch the surface of the fathomless ocean that is atrocious cinema.

‘Nukie’ (1987) 1

They’re a reminder of how easily projects can veer wildly off course.

The special effects are also amateurish to the core and unashamedly cheap.

For example, the shot of a spacecraft landing is achieved by simply playing the launch footage in reverse.

The problems extend to the themes as well.

This isPlan 9 from Outer Spacelevels of awfulness, but without the quirky charm.

Instead, director/starVic Sagaserves up a cliched plot and endless camp.

The movie is marred further by technical problems.

I come in peace.”

As a result,Nukiegoes beyond simply bad to being outright painful to watch.

Still, this atrociousness has wonNukiea small, ironic cult following.

A rare VHS tape of the film was evensoldon Ebay in 2023 for a whopping $80, 600.

It’s arguably the worst Irish movie ever made.

He sets out, Beatrix Kiddo-style, with a gun and bucket list of targets.

While intended as a black comedy, the uneven tone and poorly written script makeParting Shotsmore baffling than entertaining.

It’s like ifTommy Wiseauhad directedFalling Down.

Critics eviscerated the movie, with many slamming it for glorifying vigilante justice and violent retribution.

None of them is particularly charming here, however.

‘Fatal Deviation’ (1998) 1

The performers are not bad, but the script gives them shockingly little to work with.

As a result,Sex Lives of the Potato Menjust winds up being a little… depressing?

The humor is tasteless, the acting is atrocious, and the storyline is frustratingly convoluted.

‘Parting Shots’ (1999) 1

The cinematography is barely on the level of a canceled sitcom pilot.

The film oscillates between absurdity and tedium,riddled with self-indulgence thats hard to ignore.

Yet, this very lack of self-awareness is precisely what makes it ‘so bad it’s good’.

‘Sex Lives of the Potato Men’ (2004) 1

Consequently, for aficionados of gloriously bad cinema,Get Evenis not to be missed.
