OMFG! I just saw that disaster called "The Apple" (1980).

[Crowman1979]

It's the worst piece of garbage I ever saw in my life. The opening looks like a high-tech ScAmway gathering.

People give "Can't Stop The Music" a hard time, even though it was only a victim of bad timing. That movie is Oscar-Worthy compared to "The Apple."

1. That was weird... thanks!

I've never even heard of that film before.

[hatrack]

2. Worse than CSTM?!?!?! Damn, that must REALLY suck!

:hi:

[tridim]

3. This must be from an alternate universe, I've never heard anything about it.

Thank gawd.

Looks kind of like a prequel to The Running Man.

4. A wormy apple?

Or just seedy?

5. Do the Bim!

Yeah, it's pretty craptacular.

6. Well I sent this link to the Nostalgia Critic and Rifftrax.

So hopefully something hilarious will result. :evilgrin:

7. as an afficionado of bad film, i'll have to check this out..

9. Cannon Group was Golan-Globus, Israeli producers, who made a # of stinkers

mostly Cold War melodramas: The Delta Force and Invasion U.S.A., and even the vigilante thriller Exterminator 2 (the sequel to 1980’s The Exterminator),

Cannon’s biggest hit was Missing in Action, with Chuck Norris.

The central message of these films seems to have been: Kill the Commie Infidels before G-d comes to punish us all with unbearable music and lyrics! Nonetheless, some of the dialogue is (unintentionally) hysterically funny:

"Use your imagination - it's 1994"

10. They made a ton of movies

Some of the better ones included Grace Quigley, Barfly and Runaway Train. They also did lots and lots of bad comedy, tarted up classics, whatever.

11. Barfly is a classic

"To all my friends at the bar"

12. Now I see where they got the idea for "Idol"

surreal.
