The only logical explanation is someone decided Trey Stokes is the DiF Alan Smithee.

Speaking of enjoyably bad Van Damme movies, I feel the need to reiterate that you guys should rent Universal Soldier: Regeneration. You think its going to be this shitty DTV movie, but you put it on and its got this gritty, serious tone, and a really cool John Carpenter sounding score, and before you know it Van Damme is kicking ass in extended Children of Men style long-takes. I can't reiterate enough how much of a hidden gem this is (despite how it looks from the trailer).

Looking into it, turns out the cinematographer is Peter Hyams (Outland, 2010), and the director is his son, which might explain why everyone was actually trying to make a good movie on this one.

EXCEPT FOR FUCKING DOWN IN FRONT

I'm not bitter.

We are mentioned on Trey's wiki, though. Last I checked, we were a red link.

YUP.  I don't think my ex is in any of those clips, but she is in the "battle" scene featured in Brad's "editing" "reel."

The US Godzilla film is an interesting case because its badness depends on what you were expecting. I mean, the Japanese public (not the fans, the public) loved it because it was it was so much better then the 90's Godzilla films they had been given by Toho. We didn't see those films, so compared it to what we thought a good modern Godzilla film would be like. It's not as good as the three 90's Gamera films, but I don't think the US Godzilla is BAD. Overhyped, yes, but not bad in the way something like The Scorpion King is.

The example I use for a so bad it's good is the anime Odin: Photon Sailer Starlight. A team of talented creators who had worked on Yamato (Star Blazers) come up with the brilliant idea to do a modern, 80's, version with hair metal music! The result just HAS to be seen, as every creative choice was wrong, every plot point either telegraphed an hour ahead of time or just randomly appearing. It feels like it was condensed down from a TV series but wasn't. They only had the metal group do two songs, in English, and they play each three or four times.

It's brilliant.
