Quite like some of the Carry Ons
The Carry Ons are class though! They still make me laugh like a drain.

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
Watching Green Street 2: Stand Your Ground, and it is extraordinary. It's set in what appears to be a dusty cross between the Floridian work camp of Cool Hand Luke and the prison in which Burt Reynolds is incarcerated in The Longest Yard, an institution populated by around 400 steroidal football hooligans and a smattering of Russian Mafia types, watched over by a custodial staff which includes Counsellor Troi from Star Trek and the vicar from Only Fools And Horses.
The main character is a minor casual from the first film, the one who was the Jewish GI in Band Of Brothers, and occasionally given to husky Estuarine voiceovers (much in the Dyer/Love vein of hypermasculinised pulp).
Popular pornography-of-prison-violence tropes are wheeled out and given the odd tweak here or there - pool balls in socks are replaced with batteries; bleach (in bottles with boldly generic labels promishing "BLEACH", which sadly is unlikely to be an homage to Repo Man) is added to the classic gaolhouse apéritif of freshly boiled water and granulated sugar.
The brutal leader of the Millwall firm in the nick really does not like our West Ham hooligan heroes, and constantly rails against these "East End cunts", "Cockneys" and "Pearly Kings", despite - as far as my limited geographical knowledge on such matters would suggest to me - Millwall being quintessentially East End itself. Perhaps this is a subtle reference to self-loathing or alienation or something.
Overall it is (perhaps surprisingly) competent in its construction, if not its creativity. It has the same high-sugar-low-nutritional-value feel of the likes of the Lock Stock TV series, or a Gilbey Bros film, all showy stylistics and influences-on-its-sleeve, but not much in the way of original or innovative thought, and certainly very little to say other than "Whoa! Look at that dude's head cave in! Rewind and slo-mo!"
Still, somewhat worth it to hear Counsellor Troi utter lines like "Say 'Two peas in a pod', because I'm your superior officer and I told you to you INSUBORDINATE CUNT [breathe] NOW SAY IT!!!" and "He was an arsehole and I'm no Christian" and "You want to do your time and get your pay cheque and pay for rehab for your little spastic..." ["She has cerebral palsy!"] "Don't care!" She's a rotten apple, BTW, just in case you didn't get that.

I loved Equilibrium - The combination of comically budget fx and Christian Bale's po-faced seriousness was winsome.

Ten pages and no mention of Snakes On A Plane? A film so badly contrived, hopelessly executed and appallingly acted that it transcends all boundaries of failure to become possibly the finest snake-based film set on a plane featuring Samuel L Jackson in the history of everything ever? Or did I miss it early on?

It has a better prosthetic penis scene than Boogie Nights though.

Indeed.
I am not sure it should be even lumped in with a "shit" film thread, but every review I saw gave it one star.
Maybe it's those middle class white folk who review films for papers, not finding it funny girl?
Maybe yeah. There are a few defenders of it on here. The much-missed Melinda also liked it, and I think Kained did too.
It's just funny as fuck. I love the bit when they're driving along and the rap song comes on and they both say nigga really loud and their friends look so shocked...

I'm not sure this is the right place for it, because I don't think it's shit, but I was thinking today of Hannibal Brooks. A peculiar film, a war movie packed full of casual anachronisms, lacking in bloodlust, and an elephant

Big Trouble in Little China. Perhaps the greatest of all stupid movies.
