30 Movies So Terrible You Won’t Be Able to Look Away (With GIFs!)

24. Highlander 2: The Quickening

“Remember, Highlander, remember your home. Another galaxy, you were chosen, remember?”
After Connor MacLeod gained his mortality (and telepathy, I think?) from the big head-chopping contest, he aided humanity in the creation of a “shield” against the sun’s rays, since the ozone layer was all gone. Years later, mankind lives under perpetual darkness, and MacLeod is old and miserable. Luckily, some new immortals descend to Earth from space and start breaking stuff, giving MacLeod an excuse to cut off some more heads. Oh, did I not mention? Yeah, all immortals are from another planet called Zeist, MacLeod included.

The reception to the Zeist retcon was so negative from both the fans and the production team, that a director’s cut was released years later that completely removed all references to space and aliens. Not that it really matters, since every “Highlander” film after this one completely disregards its existence.

Christopher Lambert initially refused to use a fake sword for fight scenes. He changed his tune after accidentally cutting his finger down to the bone and dislocating Michael Ironside’s jaw.

23. Overdrawn at the Memory Bank

“At least I’m not an anteater.”
In a dystopian future where giant corporations rule the world (so not that different from right now), a data cruncher named Aram Fingal is forced to take a virtual vacation after he’s caught watching better movies during work. After tinkering with the simulation’s code, his mind ends up in the company’s main computer, where he assembles a somewhat slapdash recreation of “Casablanca” while the technicians outside try to figure out where the heck they put his brain.

This made-for-TV movie is another entry on the list of films that Raul Julia is way too good for.

All of the wild animal footage shown during the “doppeling” scenes is taken from another film, “Beautiful People.”
