This was made two years AFTER Star Wars and tries so hard and yet fails so hard.
It has David Hasselhoff, Caroline Munroe in a space bikini, a giant amazon robot, a Texan accent robot, killer red, blobby lights that takes out a ship?, tinfoil military suits, and some of the lamest special effects you've seen. (I still can't believe they managed to rope Christopher Plummer in for this.) Really, you all owe it to yourselves to see it. I first saw it in high school and someone had put the warning label as: Warning this film sucks.
I'm a big fan of Norbit for just such a movie. And while it's not really bad, Besieged Fortress is a bizarre documentary/ disaster movie about the war between a colony of termites and a colony of ants that's fun to watch with friends and say "wtf?"
The best part is with every single one of these movies, all the producers and stuff were sitting around a round table watching the finished project and saying "you know what, people are going to love this."
The Shaft. A "horror" movie about a killer elevator that is way to much inadvertent comedy gold. An actual line of dialogue - "I'm no hero, I'm just an elevator repairman."

Agreed! Does anyone know of any real life "Producers" moment when the opposite happened? I would love to see that movie knowing what was happening behind it.

I haven't seen the actual video, but I watched a documentary on Troll 2 and it was just amazing that to this day the director thought everyone else did not get the art he made. (Well that and the lady who played the mom- turns out she's a liiiitttle mentally unstable or something. Oblivious might be the better word.)
But that's one of things that makes most of these films so endearing. The producer/ director was genuinely trying to make good movie and yet they are just extremely incompetent. Films made to be so bad they're funny aren't nearly so interesting and neither are poor films simply because the director is a hack. Nor for that matter big budget films that people hop on the anti-fan wagon.
Truly, the best ones are limited in budget and they are just so genuine and yet so exceedingly bad.

terrible? my favorite movie since i saw it and it still has the #1 theme song in my opinion
I dont really know though <_< I don't really watch bad movies enough. I'd say terminator 2 but that's amazing. But I guess there's a bad schwartzenegger movie somewhere even though he's my favorite actor

Anyone who hasn't seen this, get a beer and some friends, have a conversation, play a game of cards or something, and put this movie on. Enjoy one of your best nights ever.
