Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted June 19, 2003 You know, I have to go the "most-hated" route like much of you, because I find B-level and low budget tripe to be more amusing than a $20 million summer blockbuster. I actually started a similar thread a while back, so I'll have to add my two cents to this one. Nurse Betty-I got chastised by bps for mentioning this a while back, and he said that those of us who hated it just didn't get it. Well, I must not have gotten it, because I didn't find it humorous, amusing, or of any redeeming quality. A schizophrenic woman chasing down a soap opera star after her husband is murdered, only to be chased en route to her dream man by the two hit men? This movie had clusterfuck written all over it. The worst movie I've ever seen in a theater, in my opinion. Blackbelt 2, Fatal Force-God God GOD did this suck the meat missle! I adore low budget karate films, and since I enjoyed the first Blackbelt (with perennial kung-fu schlock king Don Wilson~) I gave this one a shot. Plus it was only $3 at Wal-Mart. Anyways, it seems our good buddy Roger Corman simply took a 1987 actioner dubbed "Spyder" and slapped a new title on it due to the success of Wilson's Blackbelt. Check out the plot of THIS gem: A group of mercenaries claim to be able to find POW's thought dead since Vietnam. They blackmail rich bigwig Pendleton, who lost his son and wants him back. These guys base their operation in HAWAII, and somehow HAPPEN to find a POW there? Turns out it's all a scam, as the guy they "found" was just a heroin addict, albeit it turns out he WAS an actual POW, who escapes the fraudulent group and calls his brother in the US. The brother happens to be the partner of loose cannon cop Brad Spyder (gotta love the 80's action names). So this guy goes to find his brother and gets killed by the mercenaries, drawing Spyder out to Hawaii to figure out what's going on. Throw in a police chief with a Lucky The Leprachaun accent, a Prof. Tanaka ripoff as the Hawaiian cheif, and virtually NO MARTIAL ARTS ACTION (Spyder throws some kicks here and there, but for the climax he wears gear from Sly Stallone's Rambo Garage Sale) and you have the makings of a non-classic. Fans of torturous movies here, like Deacon or Satanico may want to seek this one out, if only to MST3K it. Those are just two, with more than a few on the way, I'm sure.

The Dames 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2003 I must have fallen asleep in Showgirls because I don't remember the rape scene you're talking about at all. Dames The one at the end, where the Broadway style dude with the long hair has the black girl held down and raped. Doesn't ring a fucking bell. Not at ALL.

Dames You might be a better man for it, heh. I wound up drawn to Showgirls because of (what else) good ol' Jesse from SBTB in her birthday suit (I was only 14 when it was released), but man o' man, this movie is a bad movie CLASSIC, and I find it amusing on so many levels. If you watch it for what it is, it's a decent movie. Of course, what it is is a crappy soap opera with nudity, so meh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2003 The only scenes I do remember for some odd reason are the ones where Berkley gives Kyle McLaughlin a lap dance and where the girls are told to put ice on their nipples to make them harder. I don't know if I remember that because I was young and I was all "BOOBAGE~! OMG!!@!@!", but that's all I can recall. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Between the black guy berating her for doing it ("you fuck 'em without fucking 'em!") and McLachlan's "OMG I'm cumming!" reaction when Berkley finishes her routine make it a comedic must-see event. Can't forget the blowjob in the pool as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
