Night of the Lepus
1972

UPDATED with new screecaps and new commentary!

This could very well be considered the greatest film ever made, provided that every print of every movie not about giant killer bunny rabbits suddenly disappeared from the face of the planet.

Reading Rainbow “Behind the Scenes of Star Trek: TNG”
Orig. Aired: Aug 15 1988

In my endless search for obscure film and video of particular (and peculiar) interest to regular site visitors, I came upon this little gem: An episode of the PBS series Reading Rainbow from 1988, where host LeVar Burton takes his viewers (from what I can recall, mostly retarded schoolchildren) behind the scenes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. No-brainer, right? Star Trek + Kitschy '80s = Agony Booth Gold. Texas T. Am I right?

Funny thing, though. This peek behind the scenes of TNG isn't terribly insightful or exciting. In fact, it looks like the Reading Rainbow crew simply threw darts at a calendar, then went down to the set and filmed whatever happened to be going on that day. So, obviously, we're not going to find out how they did the saucer separation trick, or how they made that guy's head explode in "Conspiracy", or anything else cool that happened in the first season of TNG.

Alone in the Dark
2005

"Let it just be known that this film is stupid. And we're talking slam-your-head-down-on-the-table-dumb here."

Action Jackson
1988

"Is there a more over the top way of killing your enemy than sending a team of goons over to his place to fire bomb him into the afterlife? I can only imagine they went that route because a tactical nuke would have been too expensive."

Heidi Montag's "Higher"

"It looks like Heidi Montag figured she could sing, and has released a song and video entitled 'Higher'. I suspect it's terrible, but I've already seen 'My Humps', so how bad could this be?"

Stone Cold
1991

"The bike crashes through the window... and right into the helicopter... which proceeds to go up in a huge fireball. Okay, maybe this film does have one thing Road House doesn't."

Cop Rock: "Let's Be Careful Out There"

In the wealthiest nation on earth. At the end of an era. When heroes had all but vanished. And the world waited for change. Television brought us greatness. One show made us all believers again. That show was Seinfeld. This is Cop Rock. It was horrible.

Quest for Camelot
1998

"What people who hate Western animation think the whole genre is like."

Staying Alive
1983

"I think we may have seen more of John Travolta's crotch in this 96-minute film than Kelly Preston has in the entire time she's been married to him."

Video: Snakes on a Plane - The TV Edit

"Not only did they take an idiotic R-rated B movie famous for its internet buzz-worthy title and make it safe for family viewing, but they also allowed one guy with a computer and a TV capture card to cause a minor sensation that swept across the globe, and ultimately inspired a bit on a late night talk show."

Death Wish 4: The Crackdown
1987

"See, this is why you don’t get a vigilante to play spy."

Video: Life Lessons with Mister T

"Never doubt how much Mr. T cares about your health. He will force feed you if he has to."

Video: Top 9 Celebrity Bear Fights

"There's nothing celebrities can't do. They can heal the sick, they can feed the poor, and they can end genocide. But most importantly of all, celebrities can engage in personal, hand-to-hand combat with bears in close quarters and escape completely unharmed."

An Interview with Rick Sloane, Director of Hobgoblins

"Of course, anyone who’s seen Hobgoblins will be excited to know that Hobgoblins 2 is coming out later this month! Sure, a twenty year gap between films didn’t help Blues Brothers any, but this is Hobgoblins we’re talking about."

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
1989

Another installment in the Worst of Trek!

“I’m really annoyed at how this movie is making me question the competence of every single human being in the universe.”

Video: The Happening meets "The Happening"

“When I first heard that M. Night Shyamalan was making a horror film called The Happening, I couldn’t help but imagine taking some choice clips from the film and setting them to ‘The Happening’, the theme from that other The Happening.”

Lone Wolf McQuade
1983

"He's about as personable as... Well, he's called Lone Wolf McQuade for a reason, and it ain't because he marks his territory by pissing on things. Though, based on the shape his home and office are in, I wouldn't put it past him."

Degrassi Junior High “Smokescreen”
Orig. Aired: Mar 22 1987

"Caitlin performs an original rap song about the environment, and to no one’s surprise, it’s the most horrible thing ever. If you’ve ever wondered why there are no successful white girl rappers, I’m about to present to you Exhibit A, in the form of this episode."

Revenge of the Ninja
1983

"This is what happens when your evil lair is just your house. When you have to resort to your personal sauna and hot tub as death traps, it's time to change careers, I think."

An Agony Booth Christmas special!

The Adventure of the Wrong Santa Claus
1914

An Agony Booth Christmas special!

In 1914, Thomas Edison didn’t have color film. He didn’t have sound. He didn’t have talent. He didn’t have any understanding of even the most basic filmmaking techniques. What he did have was the Christmas spirit. It was not enough.

Rambo III
1988

“Rambo kills three guys with one arrow. Good thing the arrows blow up, otherwise this would just be silly.”

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
1910

“This movie was released in—hold onto your hats, folks!—1910, making this the oldest movie to be recapped on the Agony Booth! Yeah, that’s right. This movie is one hundred years old! Eat it, The Adventure of the Wrong Santa Claus! Don’t you be bringing that Wilsonian-era crap into this house!”

Video: Britannia Rules?: The Avengers

In the web series Britannia Rules?, reviewer Richard Murphy looks at some of the more questionable moments in British film, TV, and pop culture. By special request of the Agony Booth, Richard is kicking off a new series-within-the-series titled “The Special Relationship”, wherein he looks at American movie remakes that don’t quite live up to their British source material.

“The Special Relationship” starts here, with a comparison of the ‘60s British series The Avengers, and the Razzie-winning 1998 American remake starring Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, and Sean Connery!
