Wow .. I guess I'm just way more of a movie snob than I was aware of, because I've only seen three from that list! .. And, man, do I just love "The Last Dragon"
Well, I had seen 6 of them. And any list which does not include Red Sonya and Richard Chamberlain's Allen Quatermain movies can hardly be a WORST list.
About what I'd expect from MAXIM, a pretty bland mix of mediocre and atrocious; crazy-bad stuff is mostly missing, and good-bad misfires (THE BED-SITTING ROOM, anyone?), but I think I know what got you happy about this list, Bill...gratuitous alligator film in the middle there.
Judging from various comments, um, around, I seem to be the only person in the world who still thinks Brian De Palma is a good director. I also thought that SCARFACE was a pretty interesting film. Haven't seen the Ellroy flick yet, though.
That said, I must say that I only saw only four of five of the movies. Some of the Stallone flicks came out when I avoided films like this. But no, I wouldn't change the channel when COBRA is on!
I did see THE ERASER, though. It has a novelization by Robert Tine. Is it any good? Someone could make the list of best novelizations of the worst films.
The problem of course is that like so many lists of this sort is that none of the movies dates from before Star Wars. Surely there were "worst" movies that you can't bear to not watch before then. What about that "great" collaboration between John Wayne and Howard Hughes "Jet Pilot"? (There's a guy who posts on one of my favourite newsgroups who insists on mentioning "Shh! The Octopus" but we don't pay much attention to him.)
Be glad to, but I'd have to make too much research for the list. Harry Whittington's CHARRO should be on the list - but I haven't seen the film, only heard that it sucks. The book is great action.

I have to agree that those are BAD movies.

You can't go wrong with gators, but the truth is that I actually like some of these.
Well, I thought THE TRANSPORTER pleasantly mediocre myself (Shu Qi by herself would make it watchable)), and it not alone...
That's one I liked. An entertaining B-movie.
Yep, saw all thirteen. Don't I feel ... you know, I'm gonna go with 'proud.' What the heck.
I can only remember seeing six of them. I am still waiting for Transporter III though.
I saw "The Last Dragon" in the theater and was disappointed, and that was in seventh grade or so.
"Beastmaster" is one of those flicks that rose to greatness through it's constant rotation on TBS.
Beastmaster is another one I like.

You should make that list, Juri.
Yeah, Beastmaster is a classic. Anything with Rip Torn is a must watch. Remember his Paean to Sheepshagging in Songwriter?
I still remember seeing Eraser and spotting the villain the SECOND he walked on screen.
And how you can have this list without a single Brigitte Nielsen movie is beyond me.
