You're just pissed off that Rules of the Game 3: 3Rules, 3Game was so terrible, Morbs.

RoboCop 3, for the size of the drop off in quality.
Robo 1 = classic
Robo 2 = mindless, but enjoyable
Robo 3 = really, staggeringly bad

DavidM, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 16:05 (fifteen years ago) link

Rush Hour 3 is really terrible.

wasnt there a third Smokey & the Bandit where Jackie Gleason was the lead?

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 17:09 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah, that or Jaws 3D (saw this at the NFT!) would be my choice

stevie, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 17:13 (fifteen years ago) link

no one disliked Britannia Hospital, I guess.

Gordon Bombay: I was like you, Charlie. When I played hockey, I was a total hot shot... tried to take control of every game. I wound up quitting. So I tried the law. Same thing. I ruled the courtroom, but inside I was a mess. Started drinking. Man, I was going down. But then this great thing happened, maybe the best thing ever: I got arrested and sentenced to community service. And there you were: Charlie and the Ducks. And as hard as I fought it, there you were. You gave me a life, Charlie, and I want to say thank you. I told Orien about all this when I talked to him about taking over. I told him that you were the heart of the team and that you would learn something from each other. I told him that you were the real Minnesota Miracle Man.
Charlie Conway: (astonished) You did?
Gordon Bombay: (nods) So be that man, Charlie. Be that man.

Coach Orion: (picks hockey puck up off the ice and addresses the Ducks) What's the one thing all great teams have in common?

Lester Averman: Great coaching.

Coach Orion: (unamused) Don't try to suck up to me, Averman.

Coach Orion: Defense. See, unlike scoring, defense never quits. But to play great defense you need one thing above all else.

Lester Averman: (sarcastically, to Goldberg) Bet it starts with a W.

Coach Orion: Confidence. Listen, if you learn nothin' else when you're here, you learn this, all right? This is not just about hockey. It's easy to be confident when you have control of the puck. It's very, very difficult to keep that confidence when you gotta take whatever strange bounces life throws your way. Don't be careless, but don't be too careful either. You cannot be afraid to lose! That's how you gain the confidence to attack the game when the puck isn't yours. That's how you attack life... even when you think you don't have any control. And that's how you play real defense.

"no one disliked Britannia Hospital, I guess."

Why would they?

Alex in SF, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 17:52 (fifteen years ago) link

Ken Wu: Yo, Russ, you gotta teach me how to talk some trash.
Russ: It can't be taught, Kenny-man. I mean, it's gotta be the first thing that comes to your mind. You just gotta go for it. Try it.
Ken Wu: Hey Ref! You - ...
Russ: (covers Ken's mouth) Ah! Shh. Pick another target.
Ken Wu: (stuttering) Hey, number forty-four, you - you - you - you- you play - you don't play real good.
Bears Player: Yeah, right.
Russ: Shorter, man. Get to the point.
Ken Wu: Hey, number nine! Bite me!
(is knocked over by number nine player)
Russ: (laughs) Now we're gettin' somewhere.

D3 MIGHTY DUCKS WINS

and I liked Brittania Hospital!

I have never seen Karate Kid 3, but it was one of the first movies to be released only in widescreen on VHS. The back of the videocassette for KK3 explains how the format shows respect for the film and its audience by preserving its unique scope and directorial vision.

Abbott, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 17:57 (fifteen years ago) link

can't believe no one else is repping for alien 3 here, such a huge comedown after alien and aliens

n/a, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 17:57 (fifteen years ago) link

I was just goofing on the Lindsay Anderson movies being a 'series' -- but Brit Hospital is not nearly as good as If or OLM!

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 17:58 (fifteen years ago) link

That's true, but it's still good stuff.

Alex in SF, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:00 (fifteen years ago) link

Oh, you big GOOFER!

Abbott, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:00 (fifteen years ago) link

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 gets my vote!

I made myself watch Rush Hour 3 the other day, it's the most S&M thing I've ever done in my life, well apart from making myself watch Anger Management. What if there was a third Anger Management film?

jel --, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:01 (fifteen years ago) link

alien 3 has its merits.

latebloomer, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:01 (fifteen years ago) link

Alien 3 is actually quite good. Nice looking and it's reasonably well-paced and acted. The Jesus ending is kind of tiresome, I guess. And compared to film #4 it's practically a work of genius.

Alex in SF, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:03 (fifteen years ago) link

POTC3 is really really bad too.

Alex in SF, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:04 (fifteen years ago) link

props to Alien3 for trying to do something a bit different tho. "no guns", strong female lead character now BALD. uh, that may be it.

blueski, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:06 (fifteen years ago) link

CROCODILE DUNDEE 3 people

i mean i enjoyed the first one tho many didn't

blueski, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:08 (fifteen years ago) link

He never even went to Scotland!

jel --, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:09 (fifteen years ago) link

ground-breaking use of Photoshop motion blur there

blueski, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:12 (fifteen years ago) link

i never saw the Crow 3 (or 2) but i'm just going to assume it's the worst on the list.

This was exactly my conclusion on this one

nabisco, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:14 (fifteen years ago) link

also, this:

i remember renting critters 3!

that's when dicaprio was up-and-coming tiger beat heart throb on growing pains

From Ebert's 'D3' review:

``You've never heard of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks?'' asks Charlie, the team's top scorer. ``They named a pro team after us!'' He uses this as a pick-up line with a cute brunet. Maybe it would have worked even better if he'd added, ``And the same company that owns the team produced all three Mighty Duck movies, in a transparent exercise of cross-promotion!''

Abbott, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:23 (fifteen years ago) link

With the 3-D revival in effect we need a re-release of D3. D3-3D, dude!

latebloomer, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:30 (fifteen years ago) link

all you that voted Terminator 3 are excommunicated from this poll

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:16 (fifteen years ago) link

Abbott is generating overwhelming evidence for D3

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:21 (fifteen years ago) link

terminator 3 was shit!

DG, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:23 (fifteen years ago) link

Terminator 3 was solid. at least it had the balls to end the world, unlike the copout that was Terminator 2 (not that I didn't enjoy it)

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:24 (fifteen years ago) link

it was shit and terminator 4 will be EVEN SHITTERER

DG, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:24 (fifteen years ago) link

It was complete crap. Alien Vs. Predator was better.

Alex in SF, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:25 (fifteen years ago) link

i disagree. Terminator might be the tightest trilogy going all in all.

blueski, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:26 (fifteen years ago) link

describing anything with such a nonsensical plot as the Terminator series as "tight" is.... a stretch

Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:27 (fifteen years ago) link

i said 'tightest'. this is relative.

blueski, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:27 (fifteen years ago) link

Terminator 4 will rule. Non-tightly.

Upt0eleven, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:28 (fifteen years ago) link

ok ok LOTR is better

blueski, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:28 (fifteen years ago) link

i like Alien3.

I liked Exorcist III too, when it came out. We paid to see PUmp up the Volume and snuck into Exorcist III afterward, and it was the more entertaining of the two.

akm, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:29 (fifteen years ago) link

DHWAV is even better than the first one.

milo z, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:33 (fifteen years ago) link

Alien vs. Predator=for people who buy New Found Glory cds

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:43 (fifteen years ago) link

No idea who that is, but T3 was boring. Arnold hasn't made a good movie since Commando.

Alex in SF, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:44 (fifteen years ago) link

Commando fucking blew. even when I was trying to enjoy it for its ridiculousness

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 23:45 (fifteen years ago) link
