Let's talk about it.

Terrible, horrible-awful kiddie (or not so kiddie) pics that you begged and pleaded your parents to take you to see, that now looking back, you almost want to write home like "I'm sorry, Dad."

I've a list. Most of them are TV cartoon shows adapted to features:

The Secret of the Sword (1985)
The Care Bears Movie (1985)
Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation (1986)
The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland (1987)
GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords (1986)
Masters of the Universe (1987)
The Nutcracker Prince (1990 - I thought this one was awful even back then

Masters of the Universe


Jaws 3D - i think I walked out of that one

Care bears
Water Babies
Muppets take Manhattan
Superman 3

Granted, I've not seen this movie head to tail in years - is it that bad?

Even as a kid I was disappointed.

Mama, I' so, so sorry.

Especially when you come from a household where the only family sanctioned theater trips were for shit like My Left Foot. Maybe if Mom even had a TV anymore, she could catch Gremlins 2 on cable and finally wrap her head around what makes for truly endearing art.

I'll even go so far as to say it was just as much a classic as the first Gremlins.
Very entertaining, it was.

She barely speaks any English I remember leaving the theater and she was wondering WTF she just saw.

Moms took me to the theater one day to see Street Fighter, that was the last time she took to me the movies.

When i was in elementary school i really liked Van Damme flicks, made my dad take me to watch Sudden Death. I loved it (still do), he hated it.

Karate Kid 3

Karate Kid 3 is awesome!

"Ok lose to opponent, must not lose to fear!"

The grim-reaper/death character was funny.
Plus, the soundtrack was fuckin awesome. (Megadeth, Faith No More, etc).

No exaggeration.

Haven't seen it in... I can't think how long it's been but is it generally not considered good?

but yeah, a horrible, horrible movie, that one...

I was 8 years old.
At that age, its not hard to razzle dazzle a boy.
Yes, in hindsight, the movie was awful (the little that I remember).

*scratches head and looks away*

Jesus Christ was a fucking terrible movie. The only redeeming quality was that Forest Whitaker didn't die. I mean sure as a 7 year old it was cool to see a naked woman, but it didn't help that she immediately ate the muthafucker after she got done giving him a blow job. Talk about nightmares.

I don't know what the fuck my parents were thinking.


Also, I wasn't there for this, but my brother experienced my nephew's last kid movie. The boy begged him to go see the third Alvin and the Chimpmunks movie, and then my brother watched the boy slowly figure out the deviousness of Hollywood marketing schemes.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts..." -The Bard

Critters 2.
Troll. (that musical sequence where they break into song. WTF?)
Garbage Pail Kids.
Big Top Pee-Wee. (absolutely nothing like the brilliant Pee-Wee's Big Adventure).
Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo
.............and ovcourse, those damn Care Bears.

It's so bad its great

Painfully corny.
My gawd.
I just wanna slap Turbo and Ozone.
And that hospital scene. Lol. Breakdancin in the bed?! Lol

And bless my grandpa's heart, for watching Batman Returns with me every Sunday, in an attempt to be kid friendly.

That was a mistake, lol

most kiddie stuff i watched on video...it was easier for everybody and i didn't care...

Surely, I say.

I didn't do that to my parents too much but had an older brother I got to take me instead

I recall my mom taking me to Superman III and she was not impressed. I thought it was awesome at the time, now tend to agree with her aside from junkyard scene which is still awesome


Mega Force maybe the worst movie I saw in the theater, with my bro. I don't remember it at all really, just thinking the vehicles looked cool at the time and I was into Knight Rider and stuff like that


On another note, I took my son to Green Lantern and I regret that completely lol

matter fact I think we left cause a movie was so bad.

No Holds Barred
Suburban Commando
Mom and David Save the Universe (fucking Jon Lovitz)

I regretted it even then, but now?

My poor parents.

Me and my brother were amped for that movie. By the end, movie headaches for everyone. We both apologized to my dad for making him sit through it as we walked out the theatre.

Great enough that he had it on VHS and used to have us watch that and the Star Wars Trilogy when we were kids.

I think it suffered because of Star Wars.


I hope we're talking about the same film and not Kevin Sorbo's Kull, that movie was garbage.

Went to that one with my younger brother and mother. We walked out about an hour in.

needless to say I was never allowed to choose the movie again.

D

In my defense, it was the second feature of a double bill. I think the first was Paper Moon but it might have been Harold & Maude.
