I'm always looking for great new movies to watch and regularly review the "Let's list/discuss /rate Movies" thread. But more often than you can imagine I come across some truly horrible movies. Even if I haven't watched any of these titles the very notion of the movie's plot is unbelievably bizarre.

So post your completely outrageous/wack/bizarre film finds here, whether you've watched them or not.

Let me start with probably the most outrageous one I have come across in my lifetime.

Masked Avenger Versus Ultra-Villain in the Lair of the Naked Bikini
(aka) The Masturbating Gunman 2000
PLOT:
Masked Avenger is a hero to the modern world. He destroys his enemies with Kung Fu fighting, handsaws and guns, but with one small hang-up. At the sight of a woman, The Masked Avenger immediately begins to gratify himself, no matter what situation he is in. The evil Helmut Gunta plans to impregnate a virgin in order to have an heir, and the woman he has in mind is a nun, Sister Mary who happens to be the Masked Avenger's sister. Gunta has a plan to stop The Masked Avenger from getting in the way... organize a gang of strippers to keep him pre-occupied until Sister Mary is pregnant.

Shaolin Soccer (China/Hong Kong - 2001): Even more fantastical than some soccer cartoons. Surpasses Captain Tsubasa, in the same league with Moero! Top Striker.

Hi,

I don't look at films as weird or this or that. In general, almost all of it is some sort of view that the director has. This said, this is impossible in America where film is controlled by the media and the studios, but in Europe where the money used for films is 1/25th of what is wasted on a Terrific Tom film, directors have much more freedom to do things that otherwise you would never see.

Even some college/school films are not seen or shown on film festivals, because they are not "professional" and this hurts the development of the medium in America. A few years back, the PIFF (Portland) in their yearly short films thing, had a bunch of things. How many were from "amateurs"? None. Half the films were done by some known name or studio film company somewhere ... and all of them were conventional. But these guys are clever and sometimes get you. One short teased you senseless and you thought it was a naked lady and in the end it finally zooms out and it is an orange!

But the record for what you might call strange or weird, is Jean-Luc Godard that most Americans will not watch it unless they take a film course at the university and you will probably see 2 of his old films, but his later stuff is supreme. A complete break down of some silly and badly designed shots from Hollywood specially the over used and stupid shot/crossshot that TV uses on soaps still after 70 years! The sequencing of a story, and various things that don't fit. In one film he is fooling around with the music, and even narrates ... ohh it did't sound good over there. Let's try it over here! Or maybe the famous pendulum shot of the lovers in the bar. If that's not enough you can see a scene redone in another film. And then even better is in another film the actor actually asking, is this supposed to mean something? And then you get Norman Mailer and Woody Allen and Molly Ringwald doing some sort of Shakespeare. If you find a connection, let me know.

Famous line by Godard. Every thing has a beginning, middle and an end. Not necessarily in that order!

You are warned!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

At first, I thought this thread was all about wrestling movies: - WTF (Wrestling Tournament Federation) Smile

The most outrageously bizarre movie I've ever seen is "Diamonds Are For Zardoz", starring Sean Connery as James Bond. Tongue

Well I have to admit to now being the one to correct my own OP.
After researching some of the titles above I came across this abhorrent title. I had no idea how vile some movies could be. Everything about this movie, it's plot/subject, stabs my core values and morals to the bone.
How the f#@k could ANYONE think this was worth anything?
And they had the gull to make several of them.

Rapeman 1 (1993)
A mild-mannered high school teacher moonlights as a masked vigilante who uses rape to exact revenge on women who have committed crimes or broken societal taboos.

Hmm, I try to avoid the bad WTF film, but there are a couple of WTF films that are not bad at all... I'm thinking of Roger Vadim's Barbarella, for example...

The razamataz is a pain in the bum

One of the funniest horror spoof movies ever made (and together with Meet the Feebles certainly one of the last decent movies he ever made post the Ring w*nkfest)

Perhaps "Themroc", a 1973 movie by Claude Faraldo. Themroc is a blue-collar worker who one day decides to rebel. Here a summary of the movie:

The same rut every day: Getting up in a bad mood, riding a bike to the metro, surrounded by crowds taking the same metro to work and doing a totally meaningless job there. He goes into a locker room with some other men. They then split into two groups; one group wearing white overalls, the other wearing yellow. Each overall has an image of a man painting on the back. The two groups then quarrel in gibberish.

Work then begins. The men start to paint an iron fence. One of the groups use white paint, the other uses black on the same fence, so they basically anull each others work. Themroc is then up a ladder peering through the window at his boss and secretary being intimate. His boss opens the window and bangs Themroc on his nose, bloodying it. The boss then demands to see him. He waits outside his office, and watches a man sharpening different coloured pencils. The pencils are put in two rows, one at the top, one at the bottom. The man sharpens the pencils from the top line, breaks the tip, then puts them on the bottom row.

After being pummeled by his boss, the painter Themroc finally loses patience. He bricks up the door of his Paris apartment, dismantles the outer wall with a sledgehammer, tears off his clothes, throws the furniture on the street and begins his next phase of life as a cannibalistic caveman, for whom incest with his own sister is no longer taboo.

It doesn't take long before his example rubs off on the increasing number of residents in the surrounding apartment blocks. In very short time holes in the walls yawn everywhere, and instinctual anarchism is lived out. At some point the police arrive because of these conditions. But even state authority and tear gas can't stop the goings-on. Two policemen land on the spit and are then eaten. Finally there is moaning and grunting all over Paris.

Not a single articulated word is spoken in the movie. Instead, only sounds that are vaguely reminiscent of the French language can be heard.
