    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 movie suffers from the source material being fucking ridiculously long and weird. Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 is like 1000 pages or so. Also it’s L Ron Hubbard so the book is just weird and creepy at times.

      I watched the trailer and it looked so good. I was really waiting for it for a half year or so. You can imagine my disappointment.
