What Is the Best Worst Movie? With Best Worst Movie (2009) Documentarian & Troll 2 (1990) Star Michael Paul Stephenson

My Troll 2 review (“Troll 2 (1990): Reasons Not to Eat Green Eggs and Ham”) prompted a surprising volume of discussion about the review, the movie, and people’s other favorite “bad” movies.

@actionchick: Troll 2 (1990): Reasons Not to Eat Green Eggs and Ham: Dr. Seuss is a well known writer who is responsible for cre… http://bit.ly/7xpL0C

@JimmyMiz: However, unlike @BloodyWilliam & @actionchick I did a review on the original Troll film last September http://bit.ly/8JOzuF #Troll
@JimmyMiz: @BloodyWilliam with http://bit.ly/AmoLe in case you’re curious #Troll2
@actionchick: It’s on the flip side of the DVD. Plan to see. RT @JimmyMiz did review on original Troll http://bit.ly/8JOzuF #Troll
@JimmyMiz: Thanks for the retweet 🙂 Troll is a pretty entertaining trashclassic in itself, let me your thoughts on it once you’ve seen it

@BobbyBless219: i’m so sorry that you had to watch Troll 2… haha.
@actionchick: Sorry? Oh no no. 1 of most entertaining bad movies ever. http://3.ly/Troll2
@BobbyBless219: wow. i’ve only seen that movie once & have no intentions of revisiting it. i bow before your awesomeness. 😛
@actionchick: Did you watch with friends who could take MST3K approach @BobbyBless219? We were dying laughing. Or Rifftrax per @kallisti_x
@kallisti_x: BTW, thought you might enjoy my current story arc – one of the characters gave himself brain damage with a Uwe Boll marathon.
@actionchick: Seriously Troll 2 had pals laughing & laughing. Its kind of crazy = hard to mimic without seeming forced.
@BobbyBless219: haha… no one wanted to watch it with me. I even offered to pay for the booze to get drunk, watch it and do MST3K commentary.
@barrywebber: I learnt everything I needed to know about bad movies from MST3K. really miss that show.
@kallisti_x: I will say the Rifftrax of Troll 2 was pretty good. Mike dismantles the poor, unsuspecting movie.

@JoenisNorac: OMG TROLL 2 IS SO FREAKIN FUNNY! You’ve gotta love Nibog! :
@joethestampede: It’s funny how bad it gets without going into Leprechaun territory
@DeaditeBill: hahaha!!! Troll 2. Nothing better in life then a really bad movie.
@Duidl_Media: You really can’t go worse then Troll 2. Anything else is just trying to be bad.
@papadoc77: Troll 2 is coming on afterKiller Klowns here in Portland.
@KirstenLMQ: omg Troll 2 is def 1 of the worst films EVER!!! 😀

@NiVeKeR14: Oh man! Troll 2, I saw that movie YEARS ago, could never remember what it was called though! Thanks for reminding me! 😀
@actionchick: Considering it has no trolls, that’s understandable http://3.ly/Troll2 RT @NiVeKeR14 could never remember what it was called

@VBal: I love randomly quoting Troll 2 in front of people who have never seen it.
@actionchick: My friends do that. Now I know what “oh my gooooooooooooood” comes from http://3.ly/Troll2

@atomiclemon: would Troll 2 have been the same good/bad if they hadn’t claimed it as a sequel to Troll?
@actionchick: Screwy name is definitely part of the fun.

We weren’t the only ones discussing this film. Other people have tweeted about Troll 2 in the past week, like this guy:

@Doomlazer: Ugh. I think I just drank some nilbog milk
@actionchick: You’re doomed. At least don’t go jogging.

Honestly, who carries a galloon of milk while going for a run? Who ever drinks milk while out on a run?

troll_unzip

So how do you keep your family from eating Nilbog food?

@actionchick: Hey @bestworstmovie right now my pick for best worst movie is Troll 2 http://3.ly/Troll2 – carefully constructed insanity.
@actionchick: oh my gosh @bestworstmovie IS the kid who starred in Troll 2. I hadn’t yet noticed when I tweeted him.
@dannyson1: AKWARD LOL
@TechnoScotty: Do I see a romance budding with @bestworstmovie?

And then Michael Stephenson (@BestWorstMovie on twitter), who at the age of 10 starred as the psychotic kid in Troll 2, joined the conversation.

@bestworstmovie: You’re a genius big sister! RT @actionchick @bestworstmovie IS the kid in Troll 2: http://3.ly/Troll2
@actionchick: Now I must see your doc
@actionchick: 😉 Good judge of people —> RT @bestworstmovie You’re a genius big sister!
@bestworstmovie: Pissing on food is more fun (&lifesaving) than eating it. RT @actionchick Troll 2: Reasons Not to Eat Green Eggs & Ham: http://bit.ly/7xpL0C
@actionchick: Laughed SO HARD at that scene.
@actionchick: Even now @bestworstmovie, just imagining the mechanics of spraying every bit of food so they couldn’t eat a bit… Wild!
@bestworstmovie: I was a TERRIFIED ten-year old upon shooting it. Italian Director yelling at me “you musta unzippa zipper!” http://3.ly/Troll2
@actionchick: @bestworstmovie Yeah, any adult shouting at a 10-year-old boy to unzip ought to stress you out. Being scared probably helped performance.
@actionchick: Boy actors grown: @bestworstmovie = star Troll 2 http://3.ly/Troll2 & @NormanGoldenll = Devon Cop & a Half http://3.ly/Cops

That last tweet also mentioned Norman Golden II because I was also tweeting at the time with Norman (@NormanGoldenLL) who played Devon in the film Cop and a Half during his own boyhood days. He’d discovered my “Kindergarten Cop vs. Cop and a Half” match-up a while back. You can see Norman’s favorite bad movie further down the page.

@rickswift: This is the best, worst movie of all time, I bore my friends with lines from it all the time, NILBOG! why wasn’t it LLORT?
@actionchick: Movie’s working title was actually Goblins @rickswift. Troll 2 got slapped onto it after prod. Right @bestworstmovie?
@bestworstmovie: Original “Troll 2” script title page: http://tinyurl.com/y9o4f2n
@actionchick: Oh, Goblin, singular. Script photo = neat to see.

If you think this is more discussion than Troll 2 warrants, that shows how much you know. Way back in the days when Conan O’Brien had a foreseeable future as host of NBC’s The Tonight Show (you know, last month), Conan ordered his viewers to buy copies of the film. A full-length documentary titled Best Worst Movie, which takes a look at the making of the film and its cult following, has won numerous awards!

@pickassoreborn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqRccOQjmVQ – whoa, checking out a documentary on Troll 2 🙂 Follow @bestworstmovie (cheers @actionchick !)
@bestworstmovie: Thanks for the hospitality @actionchick & @pickassoreborn! A more updated BEST WORST MOVIE trailer here: http://bestworstmovie.com/trailer/
@actionchick: Really looking forward to seeing the doc.

Lindsay Stephenson, the Best Worst Movie documentary’s producer, made sure we knew about other Troll 2 performers who are on twitter.

@linzstephenson: With your Troll 2 love fest going on you might want to say hello to @jasonsteadman @FarmerWaits and @arnoldOMG 😉

All of this led to a discussion of people’s other favorite “bad” movies.

@JimmyMiz: Death Bed: The Bed That Eats http://bit.ly/6BlCRb The combination of that mustache & guys shooting at their crotches here = WIN
@outofsequences: OH GOD YES DEATH BED. That needs to be on the list. It is horrible and amazing.
@johnemersons: Yay! Death bed was filmed near where I grew up! Even if rather long before then.

@MarkusHunt: @bestworstmovie Cannot recommend “I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle” enough 🙂 So bad its funny!

@lordtoede: Battlefield Earth.
@gidgetwidget: OMG! WORST MOVIE EVER: Ray Milland’s PANIC! In Year Zero <—- Seriously bad.  Definitely FUN BAD….early 1950s Nuclear Paranoia with Ray Milland, Jean Hagen and a young Frankie Avalon
@atomiclemon: Hobgoblins.
@jessc371: “Demon Hunter” Bad movie, but S.P.F. is some serious eye candy!!
@BenOfAllTrades: Shoot em Up!
@Mediatwin: 1986 sci-fi flick Lifeforce is really fun to mock with a bunch of friends. Tobe Hooper’s lowest point.
@JimmyMiz: aaaand Silent Night Deadly Night 2 http://bit.ly/245wOI
@daydawg: I have to get in Basket Case and Frankenhooker
@amandarbladon: Corky Romano. “You guys want some cookies?”
@Shesouldeep: District 9 RT @actionchick: SURVEY: What “bad” movies have entertained you the most?
@Mediatwin: Plan 9 From Outer Space is an obvious one!
@stopthepota: Under Siege 2 is such a cliched mess with horrible acting and an over done story but it entertains the hell out of me.
@ReactGear: stone cold with brian bosworth – classic
@BobbyBless219: Clint Howard in Ice Cream Man (1995): http://bit.ly/906Cgr
@watercoolerfilm: The Room, Grease 2, The Day After Tomorrow, Deadfall, No Retreat No Surrender
@Cavatica: Night of the Creeps. Not the best written movie, but I can watch it a dozen times.
@papadoc77: Vulgar, Krull, Clash of The Titans.
@wolfwood79: toxic avenger 1-4 and over the top by sly stallone
@daydawg: The Brain That Wouldnt Die
@KanUDig_It: Best/Worst–Point Break. Surfin Bank Robin fun w/ Keanu and Swayze. Naming a bad movie is easy. But naming a bad movie worth watching is harder.
@skynyrdnation: my fave bad movie is The Hollywood Knights
@undead_lady: The best worst movie is called “nightmare man”. Supposedly a horror movie, we were laughing through it all!
@BentnWasted: Bad movie? Any “Porno” made in the 1980’s !
@NormanGoldenLL: BlankMan is one
@neurotic_review: favorite bad movie has to be without a doubt Black Sheep. It’s New Zealand film. Have you seen it?
@redridinghood83: Freddy got Fingered ranks pretty high up there for me
@danport: Teen Witch
@contraddiction: Be sure to add Blood Car on there.
@myrealalterego: Blood Diner

@atomiclemon: Troll /1/ was pretty bad too.
@cyan_edge: The first Troll was great fun if you saw it as a little kid though.
@DeaditeBill: all this talk of troll 1 & 2 made me order it from netflix, on purpose.

@mboruff1: best movie Ice Pirates
@MarcyChen: Best bad movie? I love Ice Pirates, but the title for me goes to “They Live” 🙂
@swiv: Gotta go “They Live” – “I came to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am fresh out of bubblegum” – classic line

@daydawg: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
@Xavan: Attack of the Killer Tomatos

@nerdheroine: Broken Arrow. It wasn’t all that bad, but it was by no means a good movie.
@papallama: That really was a dumb, crappy movie & yet I watch again. RT @nerdheroine Broken Arrow.

@rohzana2: what about ring2? come on, attacking deer? demon night something. can’t remember some haunted house, drunk people…the demon night one is close. a part with a chick that steals possessed lipstick, freakin funny. her boobs eat her bf’s hands
@chani31f: I would have to say that the best worst movie is Night of the Demons 2 (1994)..two words: Ninja Nun..’Nuff said.

@HarborHorse: If you ever wanna catch a REALLY bad movie, try the $1 bin at WalMart. If you find “Guy with Secret Kung Fu” you’ve hit gold.
@GoldenAgeOfGeek: Fist of the White Lotus w/ Gordon Liu!
@Snoog: No one has mentioned Samurai Cop yet? Shocking! It’s a masterpiece of badness.

@CLNFRQHR: Fav bad movie? Wickerman (2006), Commando, 3 Men & A Baby.
@actionchick: Commando bad? What huh abui? http://3.ly/Cmd Eye of beholder but…
@tenindenmark: Commando GOOD! Who could not like this early action film with AUNOLD and Alyssa Milano as a wee girl?

@atomiclemon: The Devil’s Gift, which ended up a few years later being sliced up and edited into Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders. it has a 20 minute long vacuuming scene!

What could possibly beat a 20-minute vaccuming scene?

@actionchick: Hey @BestWorstMovie what’s your favorite “bad” movie that didn’t star you?
@bestworstmovie: Carnival Magic – a tale of a linguistically gifted chimp

    also, the 20 minute vac scene is an attempt to “accidentally” murder a demon monkey.
