Awful Movies That Are Almost Redeemed By One Thing

[The Question]

Ben Stiller as Tony Perkis in Heavy Weights.There is no way Uncle Tony didn't inspire Stiller's character in Dodgeball.

It was kind of the same character, really. Insane fitness instructor and all.

 

[Phoney Bone]

Yeah, Ben Stiller kicked all kinds of ass in "Heavy Weights"......Yeah his character in "Dodgeball" IS exactly the same.

 

[hitmanyr2k]

Yeah, Ben Stiller kicked all kinds of ass in "Heavy Weights"......Yeah his character in "Dodgeball" IS exactly the same.

The only thing that saved Dodgeball for me was....

"I won that tournament....Fookin' Chuck Norris" - Ben Stiller

Everytime I see Chuck Norris on TV I say that line.

 

[The Question]

I actually use "****ing Chuck Norris" as an explative. Example:


I'm late for something and can't find any clothes. "****ing Chuck Norris."

 

[Ronny Shade]

Chuck Norris owned that movie.

 

[The Lumberjack]

Chuck Norris owned that movie.

Between Shatner, Hasselhoff, Norris, and Tony Perkis (White Goodman doesn't exist), I'm torn.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Yeah, Ben Stiller kicked all kinds of ass in "Heavy Weights"......Yeah his character in "Dodgeball" IS exactly the same.

Stiller is awesome in Heavyweights. He's completely insane the way he jumped down from the ceiling in that mess hall.

 

[SpHinX]

Quentin Tarantino's blind preacher in Little Nicky Atleast, I found him funny lol

Heavyweights is an awesome movie lol Ben Stiller did kick ass in it though

 

[Phoney Bone]

Stiller is awesome in Heavyweights. He's completely insane the way he jumped down from the ceiling in that mess hall.

**** that, when he hung over the cliff on that little branch. That was crazy!

 

[The Hero]

Quentin Tarantino's blind preacher in Little Nicky Atleast, I found him funny lol

"You...make the Lord very nervous!"

 

[SpHinX]

"Why do you taunt me with your darkness? Your evil is stinkin' up our streets! The end is near! We are all gonna die!"

My favorite line lol

 

[The Hero]

Another redeeming moment from Little Nicky:

"I'd like to present a very nice man,Mister Henry Winkler......COVERED IN BEES!!!"

 

[Positor]

Ultraviolet was almost redeemed by Milla Jovovich's sheer hotness.

But that wasn't enough from being the only movie I came close to leaving within the first hour.

Dungeons & Dragons was redeemed, just barely, by Jeremy Irons.

Mortal Kombat Annialation was... never mind. This was never redeemed. Even with Ray Park doing stunts for just about everyone.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Batman & Robin was saved by Joel Schumacher....opps, did I say "saved" I meant completely destroyed.

 

[The Hero]

Dickie Roberts:Former Child Star

Any scene where David Spade hurts himself.Actually,this applies to all of his movies.

 

[thealiasman2000]

-the comic book adaptation of the "Catwoman" movie, that is better than the actual movie

-the nudity in "Mrs. Henderson Presents"

-when Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny battle The Metaluna Mutant, the Fiend Without a Face, Ro-Man, the Triffid and the Dalek in "Looney Tunes: Back in Action"

-also, that movie making fun of the AWFUL live-action "Scooby-Doo" movies

-He-Man rasing the Sword of Power high in the air and saying "I HAVE THE POWER!" in "Masters of the Universe".

-"Spy Hard" making fun of Macauley Culkin

-the nudity in "Original Sin"

-"Dick Tracy" having pretty much all the characters from the comic books

-the nudity in "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines"

-the mirror scene in "Hulk"

-the 2000 "Shaft" featuring the ORIGINAL John Shaft

 

[The Hero]

-also, that movie making fun of the AWFUL live-action "Scooby-Doo" movies

Which one is that?

 

[Tsunulia]

Armegeddon - the death of Bruce Willis

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

For Spy Hard I would say the theme song by Weird Al where he says "You're WATCH ING Spy HaaAAAaard!" and the end when he says, "It's the END OF Spy HaaaAAard!".

 

[The Kid]

the cool web swinging at the end almost saved spider-man for me.

 

[Sandman138]

Sooby-Doo was almost redeemed for me when they made Scrappy-Doo the villian.

 

[thealiasman2000]

-the fact that "The Crow: City of Angels" brought back the character of Sarah

-the fact that Samuel L. Jackson and Agent Toby Lee Shavers bothered to come back for "XXX: State of the Union"

-the sex scenes at the very end of "American Pie" (involving both scorching-hot ladies: Allyson Hannigan and Jennifer Coolidge!)

-the fact that the upcoming "Ghost Rider" movie will feature the Penance Stare

-"Batman Forever" taking itself seriously and having powerful character development lines , UNLIKE the awful "Batman & Robin"

-the fact that "Pocahontas" poke fun at the fact that Disney animated movies of that time were all musicals

-the GTS scene in "Honey I Blew Up the Kid"

-Salma Hayek in her underwear in "Wild Wild West"

-Penelope Cruz nude in "Vanilla Sky" (the only good thing about that stupid movie)

-the fact that, despite the end results, the title fights in both "Freddy Vs Jason" and "Alien Vs Predator" were pretty good

-the fact that, with this being the era of CGI and digital effects, George Lucas still bothered to cast Kenny Baker as R2-D2 for Episodes II and III

-the fact that all the ludicrous, irrealistic feats in "Hero" were just figments of The Hero's imagination

 

[Sandman138]

Dude, Hero ruled. It was Rashomon with awesome VFX, what's not to like? And they weren't figments of his imagination, they were a visual expression of the way the truth is embellished through the act of storytelling.

 

[thealiasman2000]

they were a visual expression of the way the truth is embellished through the act of storytelling.

That's a fancy cultural way of sating "The man lied to get close to his victim but I won't acknowledge it because I like unrealistic movies"

 

[Sandman138]

That's a fancy cultural way of sating "The man lied to get close to his victim but I won't acknowledge it because I like unrealistic movies"

Oh, such wit and how original.

It's not as simple as the man lying. The nature of truth is fragile at best. For example, early childhood memories are not episodic memories, but narrative memories, constructed more through other people's accounts of the event rather than our own. Still, we accept them as true because it is in our nature to do so. The Epic Of Gilgamesh is most likely based on true events, but it is obviously embellished. Same with the Illiad.

Since when did every movie ever made have to be realistic? Is German Expressionism crap because it focused on representing feelings rather than events? Why does a movie have to be bound to your notion of reality?
