Crapsterpieces/Martial Arts Madness: Double Team (1997)



By Jason Haskins

Cocaine is a helluva drug. No truer words were spoken when it came to Jean-Claude Van Damme's career in the late nineties where the drug was obvious at play with his performances and cinematic choices. He was no longer the promising (and super cool) martial arts superstar who graced us with Bloodsport and Lionheart (among many others), but an individual who was growing older and less of a force to be reckoned with.Double Team is hands down one of the worst movies he ever created in this time period.

Crapsterpieces/Martial Arts Madness: Immortal Combat (1994)

By Paco McCullough

I'm on vacation at the moment, so to make things easier for myself, I decided to combine my two columns for the weekend. The film that is both a crapsterpiece and a martial arts film? 1994's Immortal Combat, starring Rowdy Roddy Piper and the legendary Sonny Chiba. This is the sort of movie I devoted one of these columns to finding, but which one?

Crapsterpieces: Reindeer Games (2000)

By Paco McCullough

For the next two weeks, I've decided that I'll be reviewing classic Ben Affleck crap movies for this column. As Reindeer Games is famous for being one of Affleck's worst films, I figured it would be a great place to start. For those who haven't seen it, Reindeer Games is one of the worst movies of the last decade. But is it so bad it's good? Find out after the break.

Crapsterpieces: Shoot 'em Up (2007)

By Paco McCullough

2007’s SHOOT ‘EM UP knows exactly what it is: a big, dumb action movie. In fact, it may be one of the biggest, dumbest action movies of the past decade, which is saying a lot, considering the grindhouse revival and the CRANK franchise. In other words, if you’re looking for a big, dumb, action movie, SHOOT ‘EM UP is worth checking out.

Crapsterpieces: The Stabilizer


By Paco McCullough

THE STABILIZER is a bad movie. Sure, at times it’s a fun bad movie, but overall I found the experience of watching it unpleasant. What plot there is involves a FBI agent, Peter Goldson (the stabilizer), traveling to Indonesia to track down the evil Greg Rainmaker. Rainmaker killed Goldson’s girlfriend with his spiked shoes, which has led to Goldson following him around the world. Rainmaker has been making a new strain of drug that he’s attempting to sell to the Indonesian population. There’s also a subplot involving a drug detection device and a bunch of other ridiculous stuff.
