Back in the late '70s/early '80s, there were several sword & sorcery movies made trying to cash in on the Dungeons & Dragons craze: The Sword & The Sorceror, The Sorceress, The Warrior & The Sorceror, etc. I believe it was The Sorceress that had a couple of the worst scenes I've ever witnessed. The movie opens with a night time chase scene, men on horses chasing a poor victim. The leader of the horsemen spies the victim and turns to his men to deliver the first line of the movie...in such a stilted and unnatural way he had to be reading a cue card - and reading it at a 3rd grade level. My friend and I turned towards each other and groaned "Oh no!".


Second bad scene from the same movie: the movie has twin Playboy Playmates playing the lead roles. These (blond) twins are rather naive about many things, including men and sex. In one horrible scene they encounter a satyr, who is rather "excited" to see these two blond babes. The twins stare at his crotch (unseen by the moviegoers) and point at it asking each other "What is that?". "Maybe it is a weapon"..."Or a horn!" I can't believe we stayed until the end of the movie.

Another late 70s classic was called Comin' At Ya!, the first of a (very) brief return of 3D movies to the theater. I've never seen it on TV since all copies were probably burned right after the movie's 2 week run. As you probably can't tell from the title it was a "western" (cowboys & indians) and, despite the 3D glasses, a plot was nowhere to be found. It was simply a series of scenes with which to showcase the marvels of 3D - many things were "Comin' at ya!" out of the screen. Now there are many things you can have "Comin' at ya!" is a western movie, however, this movie managed to dredge the bottom of the barrel. In the dumbest 3D effect ever filmed, a older Mexican woman is going to cook some beans for her family. She has a big basket of beans which she slowly pours into the kettle hanging over a fire. We, the moviegoer, get to see this action from the bottom of the kettle as thousand of beans are poured onto us. Give me a break. Even the 3D effect could not save us from the sheer stupidity of that scene. I can't believe we stayed until the end of the movie.
