Everyone has a bad film they secretly (or not so secretly) can't help loving ! And as I Know that there is no room for snobs on this board, reveal the films-of-duff that you can't help but hold in your affections like a little baby jesus.
I have two to start us off:
Bloodsport - the Van Damme flick about FRANK DUX ! the first westerner to win the Kumite in Hong Kong !!
The Langoliers - Stephen King story brought to the screen, about a group of airline passengers caught in the corridor of time between the present and the past ! Trying to outrun the Langoliers, metallic meatballs which, ah, eat up the just-happened. It's three hours long, and must be watched when totally stoned !

i saw jack(?) and the chocolate factory the other day i horribly loved the umpa-lumpa song:
umpa lumpa, dippa di dee, listen to me what i gotta say...
the langoliers was fun! i liked the scary tune, kept singing that too
i liked this vandamme movie, or was it arnold, with the "ultimate" fighting, and all the other arnie-flicks like running man, red sonja, conan the babarian

It's a TV movie, cheap and crappy with her who played Supergirl and some bloke, featuring the same sort of temporal repeaty shenanigans as Groundhog Day. But I can't help watching it over and over again. Odd really since a lot of the film is the same scenes repeated over and over anyway.
It's got Martin Landau from Space 1999 in it too! Only he's older and with that "I've done ok but really it's a shame my career never amounted to a hill of beans" glint in his eye.

the boy's name is Charlie ! I believe, for some reason, they renamed the title for the film to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, or something. God knows why. Maybe they thought people would think it was about Cocaine.

Body Melt. It's hilariously bad. It's got Harold from Neighbours in it. I recommend everyone watched this film at some point. EVIL HAROLD BISHOP!

Ah I have a similar one. The Van Dough flick called, Death Warrant, which aside from his goofiness is a rather tightly wound prison drama.
But if you want to see a truly bad Van Damme film, which is bad through and through, try KNOCK OFF. The plot involves Van Damme as a (choke) fashion designer (well he does have a massive gay following) on a mission to stop knock off Levi's which are set to EXPLODE.
All of you have heard of TROMA by the way, havent you? Toxic Avenger?Kabuki Man? Surf Nazis Must Die? Tromeo and Juliet? And my personal favourite Red Neck Zombies?
More bad movies than you can shake a stick at.

I remember when Death Warrant came out thinking, 'Well, is this the end for Van Damne?' I mean, the Sandman was supernatural !
I saw Knock Off on TV a while back - it has Billy Crystal in it too, doesn't it?
I LOVE the Troma films ! Surf Nazis Must Die is just fantastic ! and so is Redneck Zombies! :D

Have you seen Terror Firmer? It features just about every Troma actor ever ! It is a great little film! I think it even got a good rating on IMDB !

hmm, I don't think I've seen that one - what's the plot-line (if it even HAS one)?
I have Kickboxer / Kickboxer II on VHS - another classic Van Damne movie (he's not in the sequel, which I actually thought was OK). In Kickboxer, van Damne's brother is a Kickboxing Champ who goes to Thailand, gets crippled by Tong Po, and Van Damne trains under some Shidoshi and finally defeats Tong Po in a gripping finalé featuring hands wrapped in bandages, treacled, and dipped into broken glass ! !

SANDMAN ROCKS!!! No Billy Crystal in Knock Off, yes he has farted some stinkers but not that low:p
Terror Firmer sounds worth investigating. The last Troma super film was I think Tromeo and Juliet, every Trommite made an apperance in it.

A woman comes to New Orleans looking for her father (who has been killed as part of a rich man's human hunting game). She hires Van Damme to help find him. Chaos, outer ear damage, and testicle injuries ensue. + Van Damme rocks a mean mullet in this one..

That was John Woo's first US film. Not bad for the time but everything Woo has done is in Hollywood is a joke. A real turd by him I saw the other day on the telly was called BLACKJACK starring Dolph Lundgren. Nuff Said.

A Swedish ninja-movie called "Ninja Mission", by Mats Helge. It's awesome.
There might be a third worldwar coming, and the swedish ninja team strikes out to rescue the world.
Not by using their ninja-skills - no, they have automatic firearms.
Dunno how many people they kill - but it's a lot. The movie also features great location shooting in Sweden (shot in Sweden), Finland (shot in Sweden), and Russia (shot in Sweden).
It's an international production with bouth Swedish and English (and some eastern European) actors...
