Kung Fun Doc Savage as played by Robocop, it may be among the most 80s sci-fi movies out there. Granted, what do you expect from the minds behind Big Trouble in Little China, but I digress - this one's been getting more love in recent years, but do you think it's deserved?

No. It's a complete mess. Terrible film.

Never heard of it. But Peter Weller, Christopher Lloyd, John Lithgow and Jeff, uh, Goldblum? I've gotta watch this sometime. This cast is a recipe for... something, that's for sure. No idea but, but I can't imagine it'd be boring.

A hodge podge of nonsense. Some nonsense is entertaining. This one isn't.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

I haven’t seen it since the 80s. I haven’t seen it available anywhere for a long time. But for a long time it was often mentioned in the same breath as Rocky Horror as the definition of a “cult” film. It’s been on my list of films to get a hold of at some stage to see if it still works.

I’ve loved the film for decades. Irreverent, silly and it has quite a big heart. Laugha while you can monkey boy.

It’s something of an acquired taste, it’s not bad, but it’s not exactly good either. It has an air of throwing a lot of ideas at the wall and seeing which ones stick or which ones the actors run with to score a high note.
And yes, the monstrously mixed metaphor was intentional, as it’s befits the film in question.

I get these all confused in my memory: Bucakaroo, Time Bandits, Ice Pirates. From what I recall I liked them best in the reverse order that I listed them but that they all were kind of "meh" overall.

I gave Ice Pirates a go a few months ago having not seen it since… anyway… and it is indeed a terrible film. Time Bandits is still brilliant, though. |
