What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen?
I'm sure this has been repeated before, but I'm new, so I didn't get to see the results.
In my opinion, the worst movie ever is Drop Dead Gorgeous. For those of you who have been lucky enough not to see it, let me give you a quick synopsis. A very "country" town has an annual beauty pageant. The winner of the pageant can compete at the state level, and then at the national level if she wins that. Kirstie Alley plays the mother who would do anything to see her daughter win the pageant. The two conspire and come up with an evil plan. This includes shooting one girl's potential boyfriend in the head. They also blow up the tractor another competitor is riding on. Finally, a huge beam falls on yet another candidate who is on stage.
Of course, Kirstie Alley's daughter wins the pageant, but, as she is riding on a float in the parade, the float catches on fire and she dies. Bad karma, eh? The float being super-flammable had something to do with Kirstie Alley having ordered it from Mexico.
Soooo...the girl whose potential boyfriend was killed ends up receiving the local title after the other girl's death. She competes at the state level and wins because all of the other contestants end up with food poisoning. So, finally, the poor girl makes it to the national contest...only to learn that it has been discontinued. The sponsor is bankrupt or some such.
This movie SUCKED. I've see bad movies, but this reached levels previously unheard of.
With that said, what is the worst movie that you ever saw and ended up watching the whole thing anyway?
I have a vast collection of incredibly bad movies I've seen all the way through.
A few highlights from my personal video stash:
Percy: British Comedy from the early 70s about the first successful penis transplant.
The Stuff: A tasty desert takes over the world. Michael Moriarity and Paul Sorvino were cast for Law and Order despite their appearances in this film. Garrett Morris obviously needed to pay the drug bill that month.
Mars Needs Women: Classic 60s SciFi romp. The title really gives away the plot, though. I love the scene at the planetarium where the tape breaks and Tommy Kirk gives the lecture about Mars. Why didn't Yvonne Craig catch on to his nefarious plans then??
Santa Claus vs. the Martians: Mere words can not express the badness
Edit to add: for a worst double feature, you can't beat The Abominable Dr. Phibes and Dr. Phibes Rises Again
Santa Claus vs. the Martians: Mere words can not express the badness
Santa Claus Vs the Martians was saved by MST3K---HILARIOUS!
My vote is for Sleepaway Camp. When my friend told me about this movie, i thought she was making it up. She wasn't. It's about this camp where everyone gets killed and they are being killed by a girl who ends up having a penis at the end...
www.sleepawaycampmovies.com - yes, there is more than one sleepaway camp movie. In 2 & 3, the penis is gone but the killing continues.
It's a horrible movie, but if you watch it with some good friends who have good senses of humor, it is a GREAT laugh!
Never Been Kissed.
The movie whose moral is, "It's never too late to be popular with the in-crowd. Keep trying!" UGH.
About Schmidt
Kathy Bates nude... :greenface
Santa Claus Vs the Martians was saved by MST3K---HILARIOUS!
Since I am truly fond of the genre of bad SciFi movies of the 50s and 60s ... there are many films that were done by MST3K that I saw beforehand. I had clean copies of The Brain The Wouldn't Die and War of the Colossal Beast.
For example, I was very disappointed by MST3K the movie, because I knew without checking that scenes were deleted from This Island Earth (which is actually not a suck-movie) to fit what was probably a studio designated running time.
I really LIKE that scene with the cat. It's even a plot point ...
Percy: British Comedy from the early 70s about the first successful penis transplant.
Edit to add: for a worst double feature, you can't beat The Abominable Dr. Phibes and Dr. Phibes Rises Again
I saw a DVD of Percy a month or two ago at a flea market. Passed on it.
The Phibes movies are high camp just for Price's relentless scenery-chewing.
Worst I've seen in many a year: Superstar. My wife talked me into watching this with her, and there was one (1) laugh in the entire film, based around a gratuitous f-bomb that came out of nowhere.
That dethroned Spy Hard (which couldn't even be saved by the casting of Andy Griffith as an insane Middle Eastern dictator) as my all-time stinker comedy.
I have not had the heart to watch Baby Geniuses, but the fact that they actually made a sequel sends a chill down my spine.
Gigli and Cool World. I'm still going to counselling for those two.
Broken Arrow- Look just because you are Travolta and Woo and it is easy to raise money for a movie, you don't necessarily have to make the film.
Battlefield Earth. Just because you're a scientologist doesn't mean you have to make a movie out of the master's book.
I had to walk out of a movie with Kevin Kline (sp?) where he was supposed to have a french accent. His accent careened wildly from french to bronx to german. It was so distracting I had to walk out after about fifteen minutes. I think it was "French Kiss" or something like that.
You'd think that if they had the coin to pay him and Meg Ryan, they could come up with the scratch for an accent coach.
I thought he was great in "A fish called wanda",
The Wind and the Lion.
You should really see this movie, if for no other reason than to hear Sean Connery play the Khalif of Saudia Arabia with a scottish brogue.
"Firebirds" with Nicholas Cage and some other people. *The Worst (tm)* dialogue ever written.
Nearly any film made by William Castle or Roger Corman.
I say this with love, incidentally.
Campy horror flicks and wolf are two things that go together like Peanut Butter and Honey.
Existenz. I wouldn't even use the DVD as a drinks coaster...
Excepting MST3K treatments, of which I've seen all of 'em.
"Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", by Russ Meyer, screenplay by Roger Ebert
"Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" by David Lynch
"Young Einstein"
"Robin Hood: Men in Tights". Mel Brooks proves he's lost it
Best worst: Motel Hell, Scream Bloody Murder, Clash of the Titans
Worst worst: In the Bedroom, Last Temptation of Christ
Existenz. I wouldn't even use the DVD as a drinks coaster...
Seriously?! I loved that movie. It was silly, sure, but I enjoyed it for what it was.
Independance day and that thing with Bruce Willis where an asteroid is about to hit the earth both compete for worst movie for me. .....Most of the famously bad movies are really quite enjoyable......with the possible exception of Cannibal Holocaust
Nearly any film made by William Castle or Roger Corman.

The original "Little Shop of Horrors" is one of the best worst films ever made!
Best worst: Clash of the Titans
*sputters*---But, but---that's a GREAT movie!
Ok, I'll shift Existenz down the ranks a bit. How about My Little Eye. That really did smell of wee.
Ishtar...I'm surprised that it hasn't been mentioned already.
Goddamn you! You made me remember!!!!
(comment posted for humorous effect only. I never saw the movie, nor do I intend to. I haven't seen Heaven's Gate either, which prior to Ishtar held the title for worst possible movie.)
I have been greedily hoarding my $6.00 DVD copy of "Plan 9 From Outer Space", waiting for just the right circumstances to watch it. Unfortunately, I no longer get stinking drunk nor do I use drugs, so who knows when that will be.
The one movie which had the greatest overall negative effect on my life was Star Wars Episode One. It was like watching George Lucas piss all over something which had brought joy to so many. I haven't watched the original Star Wars trilogy at all since then.
Also awful was Event Horizon, mostly because it
could have been good, it had some potential... but it wasn't. At all. Another one is Hercules in New York, one of Arnold Schwartzaneggar's early performances, and dubbed over by an unaccented fellow, to pitiful-yet-humorous effect. And Star Trek 5.... yikes.
There are many movies which are clearly about as enjoyable as a cheese grater to the face, which I have not seen: Gigli, Kazaam, Glitter, From Justin to Kelly... ugh. I thank the stars that I have been spared from wasting valuable brain real estate on those abominations.
Here are the 100 lowest rated movies on IMDB.com.
Plan 9 From Outer Space was amazingly, mind-blowingly bad. It went straight through campy. It's so bad it's not even funny anymore. I have to buy a copy.
If you're into blaxploitation and/or Quentin Tarentino(sp?) films, Dolemite is a must-see. It's hilariously bad, but I think parts of it were supposed to be, and you can really see where it would've influenced Tarentino a lot (some of the lines are just sickeningly cool).
Also on the list, though not as well known, is El Chupacabra. Named after the spanish demon/lizard/bat/thing that apparently sucks the blood of goats (its name translates to "goat-sucker"), this movie is what happens when you give a rapper (whose name I forget and can't be bothered to look up) a movie camera and a $7 budget. Awesomely bad.
Dinosaurus! This movie is a synonym for 'atrocity'.
And Star Trek 5.... yikes.
I wrote an article about the Star Trek film series on the occasion of the release of the first NG movie. I subtitled ST 5 "Never Let William Shatner Write or Direct."
Would this be a good time to bring "Robot Jox" into the fray?
Also, has any one else seen the other Dead Man Walking? Not the classy flick with Suzanne Sarandon and whats his face, but the other one...the really really sucky one with Wings Hauser and Jeffrey Combs. I mean.....i am a huge Jeffrey Combs fan but not even his presence could rescue that film from the deepest depths of suckiness
The Sixth Sense. My father bought the tickets while me and my brother found the parking spot, right? Afterwards, my brother proceeded directly to the ATM and paid him back on the premise that no one should have to pay for someone else to see something that bad.
I have been greedily hoarding my $6.00 DVD copy of "Plan 9 From Outer Space", waiting for just the right circumstances to watch it. Unfortunately, I no longer get stinking drunk nor do I use drugs, so who knows when that will be.
Probably after the next election (if we have one) and if gwb again manages to rig it so he, ahem, wins.
That is to say, it is an occasion to get stinking drunk and use drugs, or move to outer space...
Sorry, we were having fun and I had to scorch the collective groove by getting political.
:(
Event Horizon was AWESOME!
C'mon!!
The worst movie ever was clearly Blue Streak.
Nobody has mentioned "Freddie Got Fingered." Has no one seen it? I certainly haven't, but anecdotal data indicates one foul, unfunny stretch of film.
I notice that no one has mentioned Attack of the Killer Tomatoes either. Parts I or II.
Also awful was Event Horizon, mostly because it could have been good, it had some potential... but it wasn't.
BrianR and I went to see this in a theater when it was released.
Visually striking, short on plot, and I don't think I've watched it since.
It takes a lot for me not to want to see a movie again.
Hell, I've seen "You've Got Mail" at least a half-dozen times all the way through, plus various chunks more often, through the lovely magic of power rotation on cable movie stations.
Visually striking, short on plot, and I don't think I've watched it since.
I remember it having good atmosphere, great visuals, and some decent acting... up to a certain, discernible point. Then it ran full speed, face-first into a brick wall. The mess of the second half of the movie betrayed the quality of the first, and a movie which was on the path to being a decent sci-fi ended up in cheesy-horror land. What a waste.
Ishtar...I'm surprised that it hasn't been mentioned already.
OMG...I remember years ago when it came on cable. I saw it in the listings, and thought, "Oh that's the movie everyone hated." I watched it, and I now know why they thought that. It was horrid! It wasn't even "good/bad" (like "Clash Of The Titans"). Oooo those special effects...LOL!
;)
I notice that no one has mentioned Attack of the Killer Tomatoes either. Parts I or II.
How about The Blob? Anyone eat at The Blob diner in Downingtown?
What about Flesh Gordon..Does anyone remember that gem.
With the professer sidekick who had an amazing name "prof Flexi jerkoff" :D
Back when it was open ... yes, Kings Kountry Kitchen was the last name I remember.
The
Colonial Theater in Phoenixville (where the movie house scene was filmed) does a Blob Festival every year that I keep missing. They have a commemorative "running out into the street from the theater screaming" to reenact the Blob's attack on their location. My boss (crisis, not commitment) attends every year.
Mission to Mars, I so wanted this to be a good movie... it sucked out loud.
Lost in Translation and KUNG POW: ENTER THE FIST. LIT was boring, in my humble opinion, and Kung Pow almost made me lose respect for parodies. The idea was eh, but the execution was horrendous.
Bah! and I say again, Bah!. Lost in Translation was a fantastic film. A well acted, well written , well directed character piece.......and actually, whilst I'm about it, i loved Kung Pow!
"Aiaiaiaiaieieieeee" ( The sign of the Chosen one)
Lost In Translation was good. It was slow paced, but that was the whole point. It wasn't supposed to be an action adventure.
Look for this turkey "2010 AC/DC Attack of the killer cave babes "
I rented this turkey once thinking there would be SOME nudity in it , noppers just a bunch of semi-babes in 50's style bikinies drageing dudes around by their hair .
It truely sucked HIND-ASS !!!!!!!

Some friends and I would every so often all gather, load up on a plethora of movie-watching snax and watch bad movies for the sole purpose of heckling them all the way through. That one sounds like a GOOD candidate for such a gathering.
Napoleon Dynamite. I don't know if it was the overhype I got from my friends, or the fact that they neglected to tell me I had to be on acid in order to find any humor in the film, but I just don't like it. It's actually now supplanted Sixth Sense as my worst movie ever.
HeavyMetal!! Anyone recall that fiasco? You pretty much had to be on 'ludes* to enjoy that one...
*viewer was on 'ludes.
HeavyMetal!! Anyone recall that fiasco? You pretty much had to be on 'ludes* to enjoy that one...
Oh you can't mean the animation-compo Heavy Metal! You just can't! :eek:
Oh, yes, Cyber Wolf, I do indeed mean that one!
It was so freakin' awful even our altered states didn't keep us from gagging.
HeavyMetal!! Anyone recall that fiasco? You pretty much had to be on 'ludes* to enjoy that one...
I am still underwhelmed by the much publicized soundtrack, but that was one terrific movie. I was a regular ready of Heavy Metal at the time the movie came out and was for the most part pleased with the story treatments, although there were other stories that I would have chosen than the one with the sword and sorcery one. Like Druuna, or Airtight Garage, or Champuku.
Oh, yes, Cyber Wolf, I do indeed mean that one!
It was so freakin' awful even our altered states didn't keep us from gagging.
Are you sure it wasn't the stuff altering you that was making you gag? :p
I'm sure. I was soooooo totally NOT into it.
Kentucky Fried Movie, however, now that was a great movie---but this is the Bad Movie Thread, isn't it?
trueman's world, so far, i only remember this one.It's a great movie

How can you imply that Sixth Sense was the worse movie ever? I know that you said MY and not THE worst movie, but still.
Worst movie ever huh?
Let me think....i'd have to go with Starship Troopers for a couple reasons:
1. It was the cheesiest thing i have ever seen in my life, but i've never been a big fan of Sci-Fi.
2. Heinlein is an amazing author, but the movie wasn't a reflection of that.
Cheesy!!!
About Schmidt
Kathy Bates nude... :greenface
Hey I loved that movie! Although you
are right about the Kathy Bates scene...that was rather unpleasant.
One of the worst movies I can think of off the top of my head was "The Animal" with Rob Schneider and that chick Colleen from "Survivor." That movie totally sucked ass. :thumbsdn:
How can you imply that Sixth Sense was the worse movie ever? I know that you said MY and not THE worst movie, but still.
Quite easily. It was overhyped, with an overly contrived plot whose "Oh my God, I was so shocked at the ending" ending I saw from the opening reel. Bruce Willis gets shot! Kid sees dead people! And, as if simply for insurance, kid says dead people often don't know they're dead!
My only regret is that I fell asleep before I could make bets with the others in the audience on how the movie would end.
I think it took a lot of moxie for Kathy Bates to do that scene. Speaking from the "mature adult" perspective (in age only), I think our society puts way too much emphasis on youthful beauty, leaving the rest of us feeling like we should just go hide somewhere because we aren't fit for the cover of Cosmo.
Fuck that. Old people need sex too. Someday, those who found Ms. Bates' nude scene unpalatable will look in a mirror and wonder what the hell they were thinking back when they were whippersnappers.
Bubba Ho-Tep. I really liked Bruce Campbell up until that movie. Bought the DVD without seeing it in the theatre first...first mistake....
And Toad...Men in Tights?? I LOVE that movie.... :(
Bubba Ho-Tep is fun to watch with "The King" commentary track.

Elspode--did you ever know that you're my heeeeeeerrroooooooo?
Old people DO need sex and I've known some really HOT "older" men who could teach the youngsters a thang or two. So there, all you who worship at the alter of youth and Britney Spears.
What about Flesh Gordon..Does anyone remember that gem.
With the professer sidekick who had an amazing name "prof Flexi jerkoff" :D
Flesh Gordon was bad enough to be campy entertainment, which is as it was intended. If nothing else, the stop-motion-monster sequences (particularly the King Kong parody near the end) gave it redeeming value far above many other movies in this thread.
Now, The Avengers? Highlander 2? THOSE were bad movies.
Worst Movies Ever are in the news today:
Long-lost final Ed Wood movie foundI'll pop this thread back up for a movie I haven't seen (obviously, it hasn't come out yet), but must confess
some curiosity about...
I was in the worst movie I have ever seen.
It would hurt people's feelings if I told... it went to some festivals and they search the name from time to time to see who is talking about it.
Let's just say it seems like drunks broke into the editing room after the actual film was made and made the same movie from the worst takes as a joke & the film was not well done to begin with. You have no idea how pissed I was.
I'm curious now. Can you spell it backwards? Search engine shouldn't pick it up then.
Oh, and the worst movie I've ever seen (that I can recall right now) is Phantom of the Paradise, a BRian DePalma movie with Paul Williams.
still Passenger 57. not one redeeming scene in the whole thing.
I have a good friend in that flick.
He is in two that are worse.
I think it was called Cop & 1/2, he dared me to make it through it and The Punnisher (the newer one).

In the same genre, The Apple. :right:
Worst = Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

I liked it ... largely because I didn't expect to have any of my questions answered.

The book was so good I fear the film cannot possibly do it justice.
I heartily agree with jinx's statement.
Furthermore a film that *did* do it justice is not a film I'd be interested in seeing.
As to the thread title, I nominate Meet the Parents. I hate that film and the makers of that film. I continue to mourn that I will never have those two hours of my life back. An utter waste.
The hours burned bitterly in a bad movie are redeemed by watching the same movie again -- on MST3K.
Which is my entry on the TV Shows You Miss thread.
Worst Movie Ever Made, With Special Nod to Incredibly Poor Dialogue:
Firebirds.
Excreble helicopter warfare film. I think Nicholas Cage was in it. Awful, simply awful. I couldn't even enjoy it stoned.
I think it took a lot of moxie for Kathy Bates to do that scene. ....
Totally right on.
That movie completely sucked. But I liked the scene in question and KB was courageous.
The new King Kong was pretty bad; long drawn out and boring.
The Master of Disguise - with that guy (Garth) from Wayne's World. I know it was meant to be a "family" movie but it just sucked on so many levels. I didn't make it to the end.
Freddy Got Fingered was bad, but it was "funny-bad", a real train-smash of a movie.
dana carvey?
master of disguise was bad movie, but it had LOTS of quotable lines.
A posting in what DVD are you watching prompted me to recall what has to be the worst film I have ever seen ... Alien Lust.
It's a porn film so terribly, execrably bad that I can't even find any references to it on the internet tonight.
Very bad.
Trees. A Jaws parody with the great white shark replaced with a great white pine.
I have a good friend in that flick.
He is in two that are worse.
I think it was called Cop & 1/2, he dared me to make it through it and The Punnisher (the newer one).

Home Alone. Couldn't stand that movie. Wanted to shoot stoopid kid.
I wanted to shoot the stupid, self-absorbed parents who really deserved to be dead. I found that movie to be terribly sad.
Plan 9 from Alpha Centauri is so bad as to be good....
next has to be Steve McQueen's 'The Blob'
and for films that entirely miss the point.... the original 50's version of '1984' with Peter Cushing.
I have wanted to see that version of 1984 again for a very long time. I hope that the John Hurt & Richard Burton version is going to be re-released on DVD. The 2003 DVD release is selling for $45 and upwards on amazon.com.
The original version of The Blob starring Steve McQueen (and made right here in SE Pennsylvania) is a work of near brilliance. All of the sequels and remakes have sucked.
Robot Monster.
An alien that is a gorrilla costume with a divers helmet using an intergalactic communication device that blows bubbles?
Psycho - The remake blew dog cock.
The original was a masterpiece.
I thought "The Blair Witch" sucked donkey dick from Hell with AIDS.
Ready To Rumble - WTF?
And I thought "The Passion of the Christ" was a really well thought-out porn comedy, but others disagree.
Interview With the Vampire - my ex sat through it believing I had enjoyed the book (nope) I sat through it because he was a horror fan and I thought he was enjoying it.
In fact both of us would have been happy to walk out of the cinema after 20 minutes - the only time this has happened to me.
But then I enjoyed quite a few of the films nominated on here - I even bought Starship Troopers on DVD.... Maybe I should read the book now?
STARSHIP TROOPERS WAS NOMINATED!?
Great fuckin' movie. The book was a thousand times better, but still, it was a great action/scifi movie.
I wouldn't say Starship Troopers was the worst movie I've ever seen, but it's quite a stretch to call it "great."
STARSHIP TROOPERS WAS NOMINATED!?
Great fuckin' movie. The book was a thousand times better, but still, it was a great action/scifi movie.
Yes, the book was amazing, but the movie? That slime trailing bloated rat-fuck gastropod of a movie was *anything* but great. I'll give it a point or two for decent CGI, but otherwise, that thing just made me want to vomit. I'd rather roll around in a vat of feral porcupines than see that, that...
ugh, excuse me. I have to stop now...
Mom and Dad Save the Universe, or something like that. An idiotic flick about some flying car that takes people to planet Spango. I don't really remember much, it's been a while since I saw it and vowed to never watch it again.

Kevin Costner post-apocalyptic vehicle The Postman.
'Til There Was You (
this one, since there are actually several movies by that title.)
SOOO painfully boring. At least when I'm seeing a movie I hate, I can get into actively hating it. This movie just gave me a headache.
Kevin Costner post-apocalyptic vehicle The Postman.
although his first post apocalyptic flick,
A boy and his dog was pretty campy and despite the long build up to a cheap pun at the end, I found it enjoyable. I may have been eating shrooms though...
still Passenger 57. not one redeeming scene in the whole thing.
Other than a KICK ASS soundtrack, and Liz Hurley looking shag-a-delic, yes it was pretty bad. :rolleyes:
Wasn't that Don Johnson?
Dohh! you're right.
I have them lumped together in my memory, sort of like mental compression of a file, you lose some data, but you gain a lot of space that is useful for other things like remembering how to breathe and stuff...
OH OH OH!:idea: Don Johnson in The Dentist. Horrible.
Wait, that was Corbin Bernsen...even worse!
Wasn't that Don Johnson?
Yes, it was, and based on a damn fine Harlan Ellison Novella, too.
They cast the wrong dog.
"Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS"
My boyfriend took me to a drive-in to see this, circa 1977, with the idea that we'd get all hot watching it. It was soooo awful, with such vile acts against women, that I burst into tears and demanded that we leave! Ack, it was garbage....just horrible.
Since then....
"Annie" Saw this with my Mom and Grandma; Grandma swore in Italian and walked out just as Punjab unwound his turban to save the girl....my Mom and I laughed so hard we were shrieking out loud and had to follow her out, with everyone "Shushing" us, lol!
"Vanilla Sky" WHAT crap! With an afterthought ending tacked on, even more lame than the ending of the book "The Story Of O".
"My Life as a House" Pedophilia and a variety of other personal quirks can be cured by community projects! Awwwww....
Okay...I'll stop being ugly now....
Did you know that there is a whole series of Ilsa films? I haven't been able to bring myself to watch any of them.
Fat Albert was so horrible that it pissed me off. I probably should have known better than to have high expectations for a live action movie based on a beloved cartoon (it has worked occasionally), but there you go.
SWMBO was permanently scarred by watching Ilsa, she wolf etc. as a teen. I can't imagine, it must have been bad. Hello parents?

I can certainly understand why; I was perhaps 18 myself. Its images remained with me for years. And I saw it at a DRIVE-IN! Can you imagine???
Considering the era in which it was made, I cannot imagine the targeted audience, you know? If it were made now.....even NOW I cannot imagine....it was not merely sadistic, it was all torture, murder, mutilation....sooooo vile. I have never mustered the courage to do a Search on it, to see who the devil made this thing - and WHY!
(shudders)
Allow me!
No one you have ever heard of, I'm betting. Here's the
Director's curriculum vitae. The most legitimate thing he ever did was act in a few episodes of "Hunter". It all goes downhill from there.
Ended his career on a high note, I see. :rolleyes:
Killer Drag Queens on Dope (2003) .... Uncle A
Jesus Christ, Superstar was terrible.
Yes, if you mean the Ted Neely version.
A couple of years ago a new director did a made-for-TV version that was very good, IMHO.
I disagree. I played the soundtrack to death in school, and the movie is a faithful, if not perfect reproduction of that pleasant memory. Like watching a concert movie where the songs are ones you originally loved as studio tracks.
No thread on terrible movies is complete without a tip 'o the hat to ...
C. H. U. D.
Really, V? Did you listen to the movie soundtrack or the stage version? The one I played to death was the stage version. It's been decades since I've seen the movie, but I remember there being a significant change in one of the high priests, low voice to high squeeky voice. I remember it really irritating me.
When listening it was the
The Original London Cast Recording. I remember the same changes you mention. They grated (some) on me too. But I still like the movie, and I still like the album's music better than the movie's music, but I like them both.
Here it is....
Sent
After watching it, I remembered that the take they used was a rehersal.... why it was taped is still a mystery to me.
Well,
Blood Dolls certainly made an impression, although it was so campy that it might have passed beyond bad to become horribly fascinating.
Lets see..
Evil genius inventor with tiny head.
All girl rock group imprisoned in cage where they are given electric shocks.
"Little Person" henchman.
Evil female genius.
Somber sidekick wearing clown makeup who is also a minister.
And of course machine which turns people into 'Blood Dolls'.
not to mention a dual ending to the movie.
But
here is a better review.
