Subdeacon Joe Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 So as not to take away from the comic/stupid movies thread, what real turkeys have you seen? One I caught, in Spanish, La Momia Azetca, has some of the worst acting I have ever seen. Quote Experimenting in hypnotic regression to past lives, Dr. Almada discovers that his fiancée, Flor, is the reincarnation of an Aztec maiden who was put to death for loving an Aztec warrior, her body placed at the entrance to a hidden chamber in the Great Pyramid of Yucatan where the treasures of the Aztecs were hidden, and her lover mummified but cursed to remain alive and guard the treasure. With her recovered memories, Flor is able to lead Almada, his wimpish assistant Pincate, and her father to the now-skeletal remains of the maiden. Attached to them is a golden breastplate with a map detailing the route to the treasure. But to their horror, the party is intercepted by the mummified warrior, Popoca, and flee with the breastplate back to Mexico city. Popoca follows. In the meantime, Prof. Krup, an unscrupulous colleague of Almada's, recruits a gang of thugs, whom he leads from behind a mask and known only as "The Bat". Both Krup and his gang, and the mummy, converge on Flor's house to retrieve the sacred breastplate, which is in her possession... —Rich Wannen <RichWannen@worldnet.att.net> Dr. Almada attempts to prove his theory that people can be regressed to past lives by hypnotizing his lover Flor. Finding out that in a previous life Flor was the Aztec maiden Xochitl, killed and entombed for having an illicit affair with the warrior Popoca, Almada is able to find the tomb and with it two valuable pieces of jewelry, which he steals. His problems have just begun, however, as taking the jewelry triggers the revivication of Popoca, the living mummy. —Doug Sederberg <vornoff@sonic.net> Even worse than it sounds.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I'm almost embarrassed to mention this. I tried to watch a movie last night and was able to take about 20 minutes. I could take that much because of this. John Cleese, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I like Zardoz... How about "Zotz", William Castle, 1962. This came as a double feature with "The Tingler" from Netflix. I had the original book "Zotz" and it was quite clever and well done. The movie was so "1962.." and sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Guess I'm even stranger than y'all thought. I liked Lust in the Dust. Poor Maria, who could not control the power of her thighs. Prime Cut, with a naked Sissy Spacek (hubba hubba). George is funny. The remake - with a different George - meh. And I own Zotz - both the book and the movie. Enjoy them both.

Cat Brules Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I have seen enough really bad movies that I block them out. :-) But, the Kings of bad, stinker movies are those English movies. They are so boring that they make you want to slash your wrists ! You know the ones: Zero plot lines with the hero getting in his car and driving for 10 silent, no-dialog minutes of screen time while he contemplates the universe. Good grief! How do these people convince others to ante up cash to make these dog movies? :-O Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
