    Yes! Battlefield Earth.
    I stayed for the whole movie because I couldn’t believe how bad it was.

      To me battlefield earth falls under the “so bad it begins to loop back around into Cheesey fun” category.

      I especially love how what are essentially cave men find F16 fighter jets from the past and not only do the jets and old fuel work, but the cave men know how to start them and fly them effectively.

      L Ron really outdid himself on that gem.

          That’s right, Jesus. I haven’t watched that movie in like 20 years so I just took a shot in the dark at what jets were really popular at the time and we were flying the shit out of F16s during the Gulf War.

          Harriers were fucking nightmares for the mechanics and avionics techs that worked them.
