Lamest movie monsters
 
I know there was another one of these kicking around, but i am lazy. (I just ate a big mac)

What movie monsters just suck? It could be that the premise is just lame, or it might be another "jaws with another animal" movie, or the basic idea of the monster is so implausible or boring that you think "Why did they bother?"


A few of my votes:
The snake from Anaconda. The assholes that made that movie apparently did research on how snakes DONT behave, and then made a movie out of it.

The movie frogs..... What idiot thought a movie about killer frogs was a good idea? Not even giant frogs, but Bullfrogs.

then there is Peter Benchley's Creature. They had to say Peter Benchley's, other wise people would have been waiting for the rest of the title with just "creature". Wow, amphibious man-shark. 30 years after jaws, he comes up with "amphibious man-shark". Question, what do you do with a one-trick pony that forgot how to do his trick?

You shoot him.

hehe, i saw that on MST3K.. I was actually going to mention that one, too, how's that for funny? I like how when they had a scene with one worm, it was obviously an artificial fishing lure on a line.

I remember seeing Daarkstar as a kid. One of my freinds said it was the funniest thing he had seen. After watching it, i began to wonder if he might be retarded.

Interesting side note, Dan O'Bannon wrote Darkstar, AND Alien.

If you have seen the DVD on the history of the Alien movies, he said "When you write a comedy, and no one laughs, it hurts. So i figured, if i cant make them laugh, i will scare the hell out of them."

Or something to that effect.


I have heard bad bad things about rawhead rex. Clive BArker was embarrassed that it was his first movie.

Ever see Basket Case? The "brother" looked like a chewed up football.

HEY DARKSTAR OWNS!!!!!!

Doolittle convinces the bomb not to explode.]
Doolittle: Hello, Bomb? Are you with me?
Bomb #20: Of course.
Doolittle: Are you willing to entertain a few concepts?
Bomb #20: I am always receptive to suggestions.
Doolittle: Fine. Think about this then. How do you know you exist?
Bomb #20: Well, of course I exist.
Doolittle: But how do you know you exist?
Bomb #20: It is intuitively obvious.
Doolittle: Intuition is no proof. What concrete evidence do you have that you exist?
Bomb #20: Hmmmm... well... I think, therefore I am.
Doolittle: That's good. That's very good. But how do you know that anything else exists?
Bomb #20: My sensory apparatus reveals it to me. This is fun.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Pinback wants the bomb to disarm.]
Pinback: All right, bomb. Prepare to receive new orders.
Bomb#20: You are false data.
Pinback: Hmmm?
Bomb #20: Therefore I shall ignore you.
Pinback: Hello... bomb?
Bomb #20: False data can act only as a distraction. Therefore, I shall refuse to perceive.
Pinback: Hey, bomb?
Bomb #20: The only thing that exists is myself.
Pinback: Snap out of it, bomb.
Bomb #20:In the begining there was nothing, only darkness. And then there was me.
Bomb#20: Let there be light.
[EXPLODES]

Fucking classic,

Your right about the painted garbage bag alien tho, LMAO:D

Vodstok 04-22-2004 04:15 AM

Does that bomb strike you as being slightly HAL-ish?


"What are you doing, Dave?"

BudMan 04-22-2004 05:29 AM

Rawhead Rex---good call sleepaway [ by the way, where have you been? ]

I read Rawhead Rex and got all excited when the movie came out, then it sucked. I think Clive Barker wanted nothing to do with it as well.

Vodstok 04-22-2004 05:41 AM

I read an interview with him where he said he was mortified when he saw it.

I believe he referred to the experience as humiliating.

SFF 04-22-2004 05:29 PM

I liked Rawhead Rex. It just gave me the creeps. I don't care if the guy wore a mask or not. He still looked ugly and scary. One thing is for sure, I've seen MUCH worse.

AmarylandPsycho 04-22-2004 09:52 PM

The apes in congo were piss poor.

Basket Case scared the shit out of me when I was young. Haven't seen it since I was like 9 or 10 though.

monsters
 
There were so many stupid ones. Windigo and Manitou, bigtime stupid, but more recently the creeper guy in Jeepers Creepers.

It would seem that they could have done a little better than that.

SO PATHETIC!

jay o2 waster 05-02-2004 09:24 AM

nine9 05-02-2004 09:34 AM

nine9 05-02-2004 09:50 AM

Lame aliens...
 
Always worse too when you are stuck watching shit at the theatre. You feel like it would be a waste of money to leave!

I DID walk out on the old stupid Ghost Ship about the Nazi ghosts. Never, I repeat Never, rent this truely criminal excuse for a movie

jay o2 waster 05-03-2004 06:45 AM

LOL, it wasn't THAT bad, i would have at least finished it, but i still wish that i would have walked out of passion of the christ. that movie sucked ass, hXc

nine9 05-03-2004 11:56 AM

Hi jay02
 
Fanatical people have turned me so off on that movie I may never see it or anything like it again. I can't STAND fanatics!
Why did you hate it so much?

feral cat 05-03-2004 03:10 PM

Passion of Christ sounds boring as hell; does anyone think it’s worth seeing? I.e. should I bother?

I really think Blair witch is the worst excuse for a movie ever, no monsters I know, but still it was bad!

Feral Cat

nine9 05-03-2004 03:18 PM

blair witch
 
Well I usually agree with you, but I liked this one. I expected it to be just as it was. It was also an original concept at the time.

People seem to either really love it or hate it with a passion so I can understand why you might feel this way.

I usually prefer movies that show very little and let you imagine. That is what made me like it.

BUT... I sure hated that stupid girl.

nine9 05-29-2004 08:03 PM

Try out that giant monster sheep from God Mosnter Of Indian Flats or Turkey Man (complete with gobble gobble noises) from Blood Freak. And lets not forget those giant killer bunny rabbits from Night Of The Lepus.

Steelsymth 06-25-2004 06:05 PM

Night Of The Lepus HOLY SHIT!!!STUPID ASS MOVIE
