Worst Movie Ever???

Apparently the age of every movie requiring Michael Bay explosions is upon us. This movie is really not that bad. It doesn't take itself too seriously and has a lot of fun with itself and the story line. In a day when every movie has to preach to you about politics, the environment or something, its nice to see a film every once in a while that was just made for entertainment. And if you have to go back to the 80's to find it, is that a bad thing?

I agree, this movie knows it's silly but doesn't mind it. It's just fun and entertaining

It was a great movie to take a date to in 1987. Good memories. :)

Totally agree with richardrussom. Its nice to watch a film that is pure entertainment, no cgi or graphics or violence!. I'm was a teen in the 80's and still love these movies

But why was the theme tune left until right the end?

But why was the theme tune left until right the end?

To end the film on an emotional high - I guess.

That said, if there was one scene to play 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now' ...it would have been during the motorcycle-chase sequence. But having it 'repeat' again at the end of the film might have overcooked this great theme tune.

Mannequin was just cool 80's fun.

There was another movie from the same year - 1987 - that still is a genuine contender for 'worst movie ever' ... Jaws - The Revenge.

1980's fun..Definitely! The 80's movies were the best!

This movie is definately not the worst ever, if there is such a thing. The sequel, on the other hand, might just win that not so coveted title. It's basically the same movie, but far, far worse-it makes the original look like a masterpiece.

Proud to say I never watched the sequel. Mannequin didn't need on in my opinion but of course movie execs only see dollar signs and they looked at how popular the first one was and their brains just stopped there. :)

It kept me entertained. Only a few boring moments to get through during the film. It's good fun.
