#24 The Last Dragon (1985)
The greatest martial arts movie to ever feature glowing martial artists, Bruce Lee's belt buckle, and the kid from Surf Ninjas. This 80s gem is almost as bonkers as whatever the filmmakers were on when they…

#23 Office Space (1999)
On a podcast that celebrates the movies of the common people, this is a love letter to underappreciated employees across the globe. Upon release, it was dismissed by critics and the award givers ignored it. It was…
#22 Spy Hard (1996)
This was the movie that saw Leslie Neilsen's magic start to wane. Was it still funny? In parts, but it was mostly awful. We take a look at the first of the worst to…
#21 Cyborg (1989)
The Bad Movie Rules crew tackles our third Van Damme movie on this show, the under-watched, under-appreciated gem, Cyborg. I don't know if it was the lack of marketing budget due to…
#20 The Bad Movie Draft
A different type of episode for BMR, where all 7 of our regulars take turns picking movies from a 250+ list of suggested films. This draft determines the next 50 movies that we will cover in future episodes! Each pick is…
#19 RAD (1986)
What's not to love about a shot-for-shot remake of the Karate Kid but with bikes instead of martial arts? This is an 80s sports movie with all of the cliches that…
#18 Galaxy Quest (1999)
This movie isn't bad, it didn't bomb - we are breaking our rules just so we can talk about one of our favorite movies of all time. This movie is…
#17 Deep Rising (1998)
Do you love movies about giant people-drinking predatory octopi who chase actors around who are either over-acting to the max or completely underselling what…
#16 Hard to Kill (1990)
Don't expect us to run through a lot of Steven Seagal movies because there are very few that I can stand to sit through. Hard to Kill, however, has a special place in my heart from my young adult life. I watched this movie way too many times. Now coming back to it for…
#15 Masters of the Universe (1987)
I have the power! That might have been the catchphrase but by the time production on this movie was over that phrase took on a whole new meaning. Did this movie, which did everything in its power to veer…
#14 Three Amigos! (1986)
The first in the "actors-being-forced-into-real-scenarios" movies, and considered by some to be a comedy classic. Although there are some even in the cast who think this is one of the worst movies they ever made. Does this film stand up to the test of time? Is it a bad movie that…
#13 Megaforce (1983)
Tight guys in tight clothes doing tight things. That is Megaforce - it's as if the movie was written by a ten-year-old playing with his Hot Wheels in the sandbox. Have you ever seen an A-Team episode? Now imagine if it was a full-length movie, but instead of Mr. T, you had…
#12 The Fifth Element (1997)
Pleeeese Halp - I used to be so lukewarm on the Fifth Element. Even though I was a big fan of Bruce Willis, at the time this came out I didn't think much of it. It was okay, but I never thought it was worth revisiting. After coming back to it at the suggestion of our first-time guest, Jesse Hurst - I have now fallen in love with this movie. This is…
#11 The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987)
The movie based on a trading card (which is always a great basis for a movie) was a huge box office flop when it came out. Even though there were thousands of kids who liked the Garbage Pail Kids, they couldn't get them to see the movie. The truth is it…
#10 Timecop (1994)
The movie that sees Jean Claude Van Damme roundhouse kick time right in its stupid face. This is a fun time travel movie even if the majority of the time they are traveling back and forth between an indistinguishable 1994 and 2004. This is much more…
#9 UHF (1989)
Weird Al has only ever done one movie because the world could only ever handle one Weird Al movie. Everyone on the panel loved this movie, so we walk through the film showering it with praise - this is a movie that…
#8 Howard the Duck (1986)
The duck that almost sank George Lucas, while also simultaneously being responsible for Pixar's creation. Howard the Duck is a movie that has no idea what it wants to be. Does it want to be a kid’s movie? A comic book adventure? An 80's sex comedy? It ends up being none of these things, yet somehow…
#7 Judge Dredd (1995)
Stallone was headlining his last big summer blockbuster of his original run as a top box office draw. There were lots of behind-the-scenes struggles concerning the tone of Judge Dredd and what movie they…
#6 Cool As Ice (1991)
One of the most unintentionally hilarious movies to ever be released is about a white rapper chasing after a high school horse girl. Yes, this movie is horrible, but it's horrible in the best way possible. I'm a little disappointed in…
