Title: Ice Pirates (1984)
Post by: Evildrider on October 20, 2012, 09:57:08 AM
Since we're bringing back old movies.  I saw this again on ONDemand.  I used to love this movie when I was younger, it's so bad it's good.  I mean just check out this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-me2inj1nNw)

Only movie that ever gave me nightmares.  Still not sure why.

Castration assembly line is reason enough.

I didn't get some of the humor at the time, and it did nothing for me in later years. I think I remember enjoying it once though :-)

It also has the dubious honor of a sex scene so bad that even as a single teenage boy I'd fast forward through it.

I've always thought this was a terrible film.

I remember space herpes, some robot, and Anjelica Huston.  I think her character became my proto-typical female pirate from then on.

And really... how can you go wrong with any movie with Ron Perlman?   :awesome_for_real:

I don't think anyone denies it is pretty bad. But bad can be fun!

It was better than Cutthroat Island.

I remember not hating Cutthroat Island when I saw it, but I was also 21 at the time.  I saw it again recently and wow.. it was worse than I could have ever imagined.

Ice Pirates; not as bad as Cutthroat Island!  Not an inspiring tagline, but one that fits.  It's not a good movie, not even in the 'things int he 80s that were so bad they were good' way.

The worst pirate movie is The Pirate Movie.

Well, speaking of pirate musicals, Cutthroat Island can't get an F because it has really, really good music.   Just like Conan the Barbarian is elevated by its musical score to a work of operatic art, Cutthroat Island is lifted to the heights of maybe a D+.

Bonus points for early Ron Perlman.

I just seem to remember Mary Crosby in a space princess outfit doing funny things to my private parts at the time as being one of the things I liked about this movie. I was 13.

Since we are on the tangent of rating pirate movies...

Best pirate movie: Yellowbeard.

The entertainment suite in this movie is what got me interested in augmented reality as a kid.

In junior high I took part in some after-school drama classes. This movie happened to be the end of my teacher's (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0804346/) strange film career.
