What about the Punisher starring Zac Efron as Frank Castle?  Teenage girls are a ripe movie-going group!  It can be based on my graphic novel, Welcome Back, Frank and Kotter.  The villain is played by Gabe Kaplan.
I love escargot!  Is that so wrong?

The Punisher (1989)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098141/

The Punisher (2004)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0330793/

Punisher: War Zone (2008)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450314/

Out of the three I find the 2004 one to be the least shitty.

Rotten tomatoes agrees with you. 1990 got 14%, 2004 got 29% and warzone got 25%
I like to go down to the playground and watch the kids run and jump and scream, because they don't know I'm only using blanks.

Modern anime is a stagnant cesspool of regurgitated ideas.

I liked the second one actually. Lately, no movie has really interested me....Warzone least of all.

I don't want it to be easy, I want it to be right.

I've just seen the Dolph one.  I like Dolph and Louis Gossett, Jr.  I'm kinda indifferent to the actual Punisher.  :lol:

You know...now that you mention it I like just about every movie I've seen Dolph in. Course that's a list of about four movies.

While we're on the subject of bad movies, I went to a Smithee Awards event at a local university. Smithee awards are awards for the worst of bad movies. They would play clips of the worst parts of bad movies in different categories, such as "worst dialog" or "worst special effects" and then we'd vote on which movie clip would win each category.

Apparently, Troll 2 was voted the worst movie.

And they didn't play Manos. They've had it in the contest in the past but this time they wanted to have movies that had never been nominated before.

I also got the entire theater laughing. They were showing a clip of a vampire chick seducing a nerdy guy with an ear of cr0n, and she stuck it in her pocket at one point. So I said out loud "Is that an ear of cr0n or are you just happy to see me?" and the entire theater burst out laughing and I was getting high fives from people around me.
I like to go down to the playground and watch the kids run and jump and scream, because they don't know I'm only using blanks.

Well I'm not even sure Manos is the worst I've seen. There is this movie called "The Curse of the Headless Horseman" from 1974 that might be worse. Then there is also always Monster A-Go-Go.

A View To A Kill
Rocky IV
Masters of the Universe
and
The Punisher
??

Dude, tell me you've seen Universal Soldier.  Yeah, it falls apart at the end, but it was decent for the most part.  I never saw the sequel because it was Dolph-less, so I didn't care that much but his character's apparently due for a revival.

I've never seen "I Come In Peace".  Is that the one where he's all "And you'll go in pieces"?
I love escargot!  Is that so wrong?

Oh fuck I forgot all about Universal Solider! That was one of those movies I saw on Late Night Hotel HBO for the first time back in the early 90s. Even at 12 I was night owl.  The rest of your list is exactly spot on. Those are the four movies I was talking about. Actually own all of them except The Punisher and Universal Solider.

The only reason I even know about I Come in Peace is because it was filmed in Houston.  My ex got an amusing picture with Dolph at some restaurant downtown - he's the same height as Dolph, but a lot skinnier.   :P

I remember that tagline from the trailer.  Funny how it didn't make me want to see "I Come In Peace" but the trailer itself is stuck in my head after all these years.

Ha, I actually don't own any of those except for the Punisher.  I still need to buy a copy of Universal Soldier.

I should have bought the Punisher when I saw it in the 5 buck bin, now I can't find it. But again like Music..I got Target and Wal-Mart. Great store called Music Outlet (which I think was owned by Hastings) just went out down here and I could get all kinds of great movies and music there that I couldn't get anywhere else...already missing it and it's only been closed a month. We are getting a Best Buy though...Not much better then Wal-Mart and Target, but a little.

US is also one I need to pick up if I see it, but I got this werid thing where I won't pay more then like 10 bucks for a movie. So I wait till it drops below that before I buy it. Got Clerks 2 for 5 bucks that way.
