The other night, I watched Cheerleader Ninjas. Now, don't think I ever considered the possibility this could be a good movie. No, I knew it would be bad, but I was hoping it would fit into the so-bad-it's-good category.

It doesn't.

Instead, it fits squarely into the it's-so-bad-it's-awful category.

Cheerleader Ninjas is a story about a flamingly-gay teacher at a Catholic reform school who wants to get revenge on a cheerleader troupe in a nearby high school. It would seem he was refused admittance to their team. So he gets a group of reformed Catholic prostitutes to beat the crap out of the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders retaliate by getting martial arts training and reluctantly join forces with the local nerds. Terrible fight scenes, gratuitous nudity, and a giant robot/dildo battle ensue.

The only thing this movie has going for it are the boobs, and that just doesn't float my boat. There are better movies out there with boobies, and it's frightening to think that Corey Haim and Corey Feldman flicks are some of these better movies.

The apparent film budget would have been just enough to rent a few of 'em, too, and maybe get a couple of six-packs, while the director was at it.

And the scary thing is - only one out of 10 scripts submitted to a studio gets read.

and only about one out of every 20 of those gets produced.

and only about one out of every 5 of those gets released.

which means that this script was considered, if not necessarily better, at least more sellable than dozens of others.

I knew you were into gothbabes (well, 'darkpinup*s' anyway), but SELF-ABUSE?!?!

You're crazy, man. ;-)

It takes real lack of talent to make a movie this bad. Heh....

I don't think I know anyone who'd want to own this flick.

Then again, it came highly recommended to me by [livejournal.com profile] elanya. Either she's wacky, or she secretly hates me. Hmm....

Honestly, to me, this sounds like a keeper :)

Just so long as I'm not the one keeping it.

Hey, it was better than any Troma film I've seen.
