But this one's not all that terrible! I still haven't seen the second one (I think it's sans RRP), do we know if it's worthwhile?

So many come to mind!

Like the unintentionally funny Italian production Cy Warrior (1989) about a cyborg turned big brother, with the familiar villain from Escape 2000 (aka Leave The Bronx) hot on his heels!  

Then there's Mutant Hunt (1987) about cyborgs gone bad, directed by Tim Kincaid of Robot Holocaust notoriety, better known for his sleazy porno films under the moniker "Joe Gage."  He did about five films between 1986 and 1988 that were in the direct-to-video sci-fi and dystopian vein.  The acting is second to none in its lameness!   

One more cyborg theme film just for kicks: Cybernator (1991), directed by Robert Rundle of Divine Enforcer (1992) "fame."

ooh, you just reminded me of a great terrible movie from my younger days, Project: Metalbeast. a secret military project to weaponize werewolves goes horribly awry, with fantastic results

I must mention this real waste amongst bad (and thus little known) movies. Saw a reprise on TV of an old, black and white copy in Brazilian Portugese dubs.
Cheesy and poorly produced as they come, failed from concept to cutting.

Curucu, Beast of the Amazon (1956) - IMDb

Just the title (and beast's name) is spoken "cooroocoo" in English, while the local release is more in tone with local folklore/phonetics "cooroossoo", with the C-Tilde as "Curuçú".

Zardoz.  I'm embarrassed for Sean Connery as his wardrobe was quite different from that of his Bond days...but the story has a certain unique charm that draws me in every time.

Got another one that was riffed recently: Gumby: The Movie.

Can't help it. Besides the whole Gumby nostalgaia thing, the song at the end is catchy.

The list is so large, but some highlights...

Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror
Beware! The Blob
Houseboat Horror
Chelsea Nights (or any Warhol Film, really, but C.N. takes the cake for pure wankerage)
ThanksKilling
Zombie Strippers (Robert Englund was *fantastic* in that!)
2001 Maniacs (ditto)

Great topic, thank you!
