The Best Worst Movie of All Time is........................................................................................
Both The Room and Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky!
I already know what you're going to say, "This is a cop-out". That statement would appear to be true except for one simple reason. Those movies are perfectly bad. There is no other film that has the same magical moxie that these two shit bombs of pure majesty have. Let me show you in merely these films titles. The Room? That's seriously the title. What if instead of the The Notebook, it was called "The Book". Or if Citizen Cane was called, "That Guy!". The Room? Really? This movie takes place in mutiple rooms, none more important than the other in anyway. Just so perfectly awful. Riki-Oh, what so bad with that title? The hilarity lies in the subtitle my friend. Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. Yes, his name is spelled differently twice in one title. They seriously did that.
The Room 1A
Where in the world do I start? Well the movie is done by Wiseau-films, the lead actor is played by Tommy Wisseau, is produce by Tommy Wisseau, is written by Tommy Wisseau,directed by Tommy Wisseau, and Tommy Wisseau-ed by Tommy Wisseau. I mean wow! There's creative control and then there's a dictatorship. (Also this movie was shot both on film and digitally for no reason at all)
The Storyline is about this guy named Johnny who "work with computers" for a job and has a fiance named Lisa. Lisa for some reason not made appearent other than being heartless loses intrerest in Johnny and cheats on him: with his best friend Mark. I know original right! That is about as clear of a plot there is, inbetween then is utter confusion and some of the best worst delivered lines ever.
Inculding this gem!

Or this one. P.S. Denny is anywhere from 20-34 years old
Pretty fucking amazing. Yeah Denny lives in the apartment next to Johnny and Lisa. Johnny pays for both Denny's pad and his college. To make it weirder Denny was an orphan (maybe) or kid going on hard times Johnny saved. Why weird because they never clarify or ever talk about it ever. Weirder is Denny acts like he's eight years old. He won't stop telling Johnny that he wants to kiss Lisa and one day he hopes she notices him. Plus Denny walks into their apartment uninvited all the time. Oh wait their door is never closed. Yeah everbody comes in without knocking or saying they were coming over in adavanced like a sitcom. It even got to the point where two characters ,with names mentioned maybe once a in the whole movie, came into their house and had sex. It should be noted that the mother in that scene is Lisa's mother. She has breast cancer. She basically said it in passing and wasn't worried about it at all. This movie wasn't written by a human being. Tommy Wisseau is not a human being. If you listen to how he talks and what he thinks other people say and do. You know he's not. On the ending note of this masterpiece of cinema. Tommy eventually finds out Lisa has being cheating on him with Mark and almsot two minutes later blows his brains out. On the same day of his birthday. Lisa, Denny, and Mark find him there dead on the floor of the bedroom. (How they know he was there or why they came back who knows) They all wonder if he's dead. When he has a bullet in his head. They say "Is he dead?!" Seriously? Best bad movie ever.
Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky 1B
First off it's a kung fu movie, which are pretty campy in general, but you can get some good ones like: Drunken Master, and Enter the Dragon. This is not one of those movies. Riki-Oh takes the bad movies cake in crazy plot lines, let me try to even vaguely say the idea of this madness. Ok, it takes place in a privatised prison in the distant future THE YEAR 2000! "Prisons, like parking lots are big money buisnesses". Riki-Oh is a prisoner in jail for manslaughter because a mob boss shot him with a gun three times, and then Riki-Oh with one punch, punched a fist shaped imprint in his skull. (some how not self defense but whatever) Riki gets picked out the line of prisoners, gets patted down for weapons, then goes through the metal detector to enter the blue and orange prison (like you're at a Boise State University jail). As Riki passes through the detector goes off. The prison guards, which there are two of for the twenty prisoners they're letting, put Riki into this x-ray machine and see there are bullets in his chest. Some guard behind the information desk who is looking through Riki's files blurts out "Riki has bullets in his chest". The guards let him go and ask them why he's kept the bullets in his chest. Riki says casually "Souvenirs". Then he enters the prison. The movie is that crazy retarded the WHOLE time. Seriously, it only gets crazier. The next thing that is learned is that the prisoners are kept in line by no joke other prisoners! One from each wing. So four prisoners who are allowed to punish other prisoners, just because. Also the narrator who is only in the movie for maybe a minute tells you the warden of the prison is the strongest in kung fu in the whole prison. Why? It's never mentioned. Oh and remeber how this prison is suppose to be so cash cow. They make money on what seems to be laser beams and herion. I guess the market predicts to have a lot of herion junkey jedis running around saying "I am not the deadbeat you're looking for". Riki eventually takes out all of the Gang of Four(the prisoners who get to dicipline prisoners). That is suprisely maybe the least funny part. It is mainly horribly gorey and really morbid. Including how Riki rips of limbs, pulls out eyes, punches off hands, and even punches through the mouth of those opponents. The movies best moments are the flashbacks to life outside of jail like this one.
Really?
REALLY?!!!
Seriously what? Why did she run off! She could have gotten away! Riki's girlfriend is stupid beyond words. Plus come on Ricki let's destroy tombstones and learn karate. WHAT?! Smash one headstone same on you, smash two head stones, why are you smashing fucking headstones?! I just imagine some old woman coming with flowers to put on her dead husband's grave, but she finds nothing but pebbles. Who wrote that? I digress. The final boss fight is maybe the least entertaining until the very end where he is meatgrinded(one word? why not?) to death. All and all amazing. If you watch that movie back to back you lose your mind that's a fact.
So those are the best of the worst see you next time cool kids!
