my position in the list goes to 'dumb and dumberer' or 'jesus christ vampire-hunter.' they were both unwatchabley bad in every way but the latter was more disappointing because it sounded like it might be cool from the title. honorary mention to 'leprechaun in the hood'
Don't you dare malign Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter. That is one of the most brilliantly hilarious B-movies ever conceived. It has one of the most brilliantly fake fight scenes ever not choreographed:
No, my #8 is Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Where Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter would be terrible if the actors weren't in on the joke, they made a very noble effort for this one. . .and failed spectacularly.
People who were around 7 when Star Wars came out don't need to be reminded of "Star Crash" ... but for those who don't know, this was a shameless attempt to cash in on the genius of that movie right down to the lightsabers, but with 1/25th the budget. I also want to throw in the unwatchable "Star Wars" episodes 1-3, made after Lucas forgot the lessons of Joseph Campbell: that the hero dies when he surrounds himself with only "Yes" men...

I don't remember Joseph Campbell ever saying that...
Of course, I acutally liked Episode 1-3; they had their problems, but they weren't as bad as a lot of fanboys have made them out to be either.
