ERA Favorite B Movies

90% of it holds up, but you can tell they ran out of time and money and it really struggles to wrap itself up. It was super inventive and clever with its effects considering it was made for just under 2 million.
You could point to any movie in the history of New World Pictures (source of many Roger Corman flicks) and it's a solid B-Movie, they even managed a few hits like Hellraiser and Heathers. Then they spent way too much on Warlock of all movies and I think that finished them off.
Dude was one of the best. Maniac Cop rocks too.
Tremors is the GOAT
These two, and I may throw in both second entries as well.
This movie is very bad and I fucking loved it as a kid.
I remember going to the theatre and watching it with my dad. Even when I was 9 I knew how bad it was. Then they tried to crossover Zeus into actual WWF stuff and it all got weird.
Yeah I was a little too young to follow the actual crossover stuff, thankfully. I only ever saw the VHS.

Man I loved this movie. I don't want to nitpick the thread I made, but it's really not a B movie per se. This was a fairly sizable budget and wide theatrical release, indeed pretty mainstream. Same thing with Timecop, Hard Target, etc. I think Double Team was where Van Damme sweved into hilariously bad B movie status overall, though it was still in theaters for like ten minutes.
Anyway, in case of someone missing my earlier post on this, don't worry about if you post a B movie or not, if it's a B movie just to you, good enough for me.
An interesting read if you get a chance to check it out :

Yeah I honestly didn't know what it's budget was when I saw it. It was during that magical time of childhood when you would stumble upon movies on TV you had never heard of and ended up enjoying them.
This is the only DVD I've ever seen with a drinking game built in. You get hammered in like the first 15 minutes.
Robotrix (1991)
And I hope everyone has seen Riki-oh.
The original is great, but REC 3 is my favorite in the series because its just a nice fun dumb horror action film.
Also Ginger Snaps is one of my favorite movies ever.

At the time, an unknown director, unknown actors & low budget.
I used to agree with this but it still had the safety net of Hemdale/Orion behind it for funding and distribution, even if they didn't have faith in it. More a scrappy blockbuster than a B-movie.
Man you guys don't have a damn clue what B movie is.
Go check out Vinegar Syndrome's catalog for an idea.

This scene is still so wonderfully weird
"Hey I just called you to see if you've received our death message just now"
I watched these out of order, but I still enjoyed most of them. Those brightly coloured weaksauce ninjas never get old.
The best scene was the training camp. You had a main ninja bad guy and to show off how great of a ninja he is, he and all these super pro ninja henchmen go through this obstacle course. The main ninja gets through and the pro henchmen ninjas then clumsily die in different ways, while a sheik is applauding and giving praise for them to give their life for their leader like that.
It's probably meant to look cool, but it made the evil ninjas look like a joke.
Dead Alive is mine too. My parents used to own a video store and they got a screener copy of that. I showed that goddamn movie to everyone. And yet my parents never actually brought in a copy for rent.
Speaking of Hogan...
The direct to video Thunder in Paradise movies are fan-fucking-tastic, brotha.
They are just two part episodes of the show put together as a feature, but it counts!
OK last one... L.A. Streetfighters aka Ninja Turf. A movie where 30 year old martial artists not only try to act, but also are supposed to pass as high school kids. I think there may have been some crossover in production crew and actors with Miami Connection. It at least had a similar vibe.
Very natural and convincing dialog like this
and this.
Fight scenes are surprisingly decent. Phillip Rhee was a pretty talented guy and popped up in other movies like Best of the Best. I think the whole movie is pretty easy to find on Youtube, but the DVD transfer is way too dark.
When my grandfather died a few years ago, I flew back home and my brother and I ended up watching this stupid movie three nights in a row. It was the only thing that picked me up at the time.

Speaking of bazookas, how about Hard Ticket To Hawaii? There's a scene where Ridge Forrester uses a bazooka to kill an evil skater. Then, he shoots again just to destroy the skater's blow-up doll.
Why was he carrying a blow-up doll, you ask? Well, that's just one of the many, many questions that'll be lingering in your mind after the credits have rolled.
And let's not forget the frisbee of death!

The only real answer is "Cube":
Made for a whopping $350,000 and spawned 2 garbage sequels and apparently has a remake in the works, even though the movie flopped.

Coherence isn't really a B movie. It's just a pretty good indie flick.
Since "B-movies" don't really exist anymore and people are posting all kinds of stuff, I'll show some love for some more modern pieces of low-ish budget genre cinema:
If you are looking for a new Christmas themed horror flick to add to the old classics and Krampus, look no further than:
It probably will never show up on anyone's "My Favorites" list but it is still a good, weird little flick, and my girl Noomi Rapace gives another stellar performance in:
And Westerns never get enough love so here are three notable ones from the last few years:
And don't let the Chad Michael Murray and Owen Wilson scare you off, Outlaws and Angels is a wonderful little gem. A bit too stylish for its own good but Francesca Eastwood and Ben Browder both do fantastic work. And now we know why Scott Eastwood sucks so much, his sister stole all of the acting genes from Clint.

Omega Doom. The would play robot sound effects over the actors moving like robots. Except Hauer who doesn't seem to give a fuck.
Wait, how could I forget Forbidden World? I'll just post my letterboxd review here:
"Forbidden World isn't exactly a stellar film, but it sure is an entertaining one! This shameless Alien rip-off is packed to the brim with gore and nudity and never pretends to be more than just an hour and seventeen minutes of pure escapism.
For a low-budget movie, the research station set doesn't look bad at all. There might not be much more than a few corridors, some sleeping quarters, a sauna (yes, a sauna, guess why) and a laboratory, but it's quite an atmospheric place. Also, the practical effects are rather good, with bloody corpses that ooze slime from every pore and a shape-shifting monster (bearing more than a passing resemblance to Alien's Xenomorph) to admire. The catchy synth soundtrack is also worth mentioning.
If you're looking for a serious sci-fi horror movie, steer well clear of this film, but if you're in the mood for a bit of trashy fun, you could do a lot worse than Forbidden World!"

That's pretty sweet!
Also, Dolls is a fun little feel-good horror movie.

Raw Force is one of the best worst movies I've ever seen. Just take a look at the synopsis...
Also, it features a Hitler lookalike with a bazooka.
The movie is incredible. Don't regret buying it for a second. All the Kung Fu on the beach was exhilarating
