The best (awesomely) bad movie titles

Categories: DVD/Video, Film, IMDB Check

Wiener_lI just got a press release announcing that "A hilarious cast of comedic actors invites [me] tohop aboard the wiener-mobile for the riotous new comedy Wieners, pullingup on DVD June 10th…" Wieners, people. Wieners.

Apparently, the movie involves three guys (SNL’s Kenan Thompson and Chuck’s Zachary Levi, pictured, as well as Welcome to the Captain’s Fran Kranz) driving across country in a homemade wiener-mobile to throwdown with a talk show host (SNL’s Darrell Hammond) who humiliated one of them. They hand out free hot dogs along the way.

Is Wieners the best (awesomely) bad movie title you’ve come across? If not, nominate your pick below.

P.S. Adult film titles are not eligible.

    I thought “Free Willy” was pretty bad (or at least misleading).

  • jaemark

    dude where’s my car?

  • CB

    Shoot ‘em up

  • Sarah

    I recently went to a movie and saw a preview for “Midnight Meat Train.” When the title came on the screen everyone in the theater started to laugh.

  • Victor

    “Street Kings”..
    it’s just lame.

  • AH

    Second Midnight Meat Train. For some reason, they decided to run an ad for this slasher flick before The Bank Job. It was an audience full of older adults, who found the trailer hilarious. Poor Bradley Cooper.

  • Jackie

    Gotta go with “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead.”
    Really bad movie, still get a kick out of it (“I’m right on top of that, Rose!”).

  • Thom

    “The Pompatus of Love”

  • MKS

    How about Killer Drag Queens on Dope, starring Alexis Arquette? Thankfully, I missed seeing that the night my friends rented it and forever regretted it.

  • Ceballos

    “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians”:
    Does it tell you what the movie is about? Check.
    Does it give away the ending? Check.
    Is it completely nonsensical? Check.
    Is it awesomely bad? Double Check!

  • GeeMoney

    “Snakes On A Plane”, of course, and my favorite, “Killer Klowns from Outer Space.” Awesome.

  • NineDaves

    “don’t be a meance to south central while drinking your juice in the hood.”

  • Scotty B.

    How about “Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-A-Rama?”
    Or, “Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death?”
    (and, believe it or not, niether one is an adult movie!)
    Perhaps best yet, from the 50s, “The Incredibly Strane Creatures Who Stopped Living, and Became Mixed-Up Zombies.”
    No kidding.

  • Heather

    I third “Midnight Meat Train.” Despite the eerie trailer, I laughed out loud when the title came onscreen.
    What are the odds at least one executive saw that title and wondered whether he was being Punk’d?

  • Nick

    The Neverending Story II

  • Jim

    The Door in the Floor…. yeeeesh!

  • Kathy

    How about “Assault of the Killer Bimbos” and “Surf Nazis Must Die”? Thos are two of my all-time fav titles from really bad movies!

  • Jennifer

    I vote for “Pootie Tang”

  • Thad

    The Unbearable Likeness of Being
    Being John Malkovich
    Red
    White
    Blue

  • Victor

    “Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death”!
    Remember that? With Bill Maher?!

  • Victor

    “The Pope Must Die(t)”

  • Eva

    Do TV movies count? If so, I nominate “Mother, May I Sleep with Danger?” (Go, Tori Spelling, go!)
    If TV movies don’t count, I found B*A*P*S to be both stupid and offensive.

  • dom

    Attack Of The Clones

  • Dominique L.

    I remember that when the title came up at the end of the “Blood and Chocolate” trailer, everyone laughed. Hard. Also, I’ve always reaaaaaaaally hated the title “Shakespeare in Love”.

  • Victor

    “Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia”
    You really can’t help but to say it out loud in a bad spanish accent…,right?

  • Victor

    “Rat Pfink a Boo Boo”
    The title was supposed to be “Rat Pfink and Boo Boo” but the title designer messed it up. The budget on this movie was so next to nothing that the director couldn’t afford to fix it, though he flat out denies in the dvd commentary.

  • Ryan Walter

    The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak, Glove : Lethal Terminator, Hard Case and Fist. Three horrible movies, three great titles.

  • Freddie

    Gotta go with Stallone: Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot

  • liz

    8 heads in a duffle bag

  • Adam

    I second “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead” and add “Amazon Women on the Moon”
