I don't know why but I find myself drawn to B grade movies. The acting and story lines are totally foolish and comical, yet I'm still glued to watching those atrocious acting (enough to make you cry at times!) LOL!
Now this particular movie was called Hot Potato. With a title like that, it's hard for me to resist the kind of acting they would serve... and I was proven right. I'm still amazed I actually watched the whole movie, all excruciating 88 minutes of it. It felt more like 88 hours!
I did some googling and I found out that it was filmed in 1976. The story is about a Martial-arts expert and his sidekick in an adventure to rescue an ambassador's daughter who was kidnapped in Thailand. The acting is really bad, the fight scenes are just the kick and punch kinda type and being repeated over and over throughout the movie. There are some 'juicy' moments with the hero and heroine seen frolicking in a river but in a cheesy kinda way.
Check out the movie's advertisement poster. So, when are you gonna catch this show?
Apa potato? hahhahahaa.. urm.. i would probably sit thru a mobie like this too.. hehehehehe.. looks like a good mobie.. just lookit the title! i like it already :)
ReplyDeleteHey Nessa, I sometimes watch B grade movies too, cause easy to layan..he he! :)
ReplyDeleteI have an AWARD for you. Participation is not mandatory though. :)
ReplyDeleteI like these kind of movies too. Sometimes it's the bad acting and bad everything that makes them fun. I like watching just to see how many mistakes they make sometimes. There are also times when one of these accidentally turns out to be kind of good.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes layan something like this just to pass the time or when I'm incredibly bored.. Haha, but the poster really cun wat.. :P
ReplyDeleteSince I very rarely watch any tv at all I think I'll pass on this. 88 hours long huh? that's a long movie...lol
ReplyDeleteNever heard of the movie before but it look interesting =)
ReplyDeleteLOL @ the poster! I'm not gonna catch this show hahaha :-D

Cheers!
The poster look kinda cool :P I might take a peek of this movie. Hopefully not ended up feel it like 88 years :D
ReplyDeleteSometimes these cheesy b graders can turn up to be pretty entertaining la ... hehehe ...
ReplyDeleteAnd the poster, man it's soooo retro la!
You actually watched this?
ReplyDeleteFrom the poster I surmised that this is an action movie...what has this got to do with a hot potato? Who comes up with these names?!? LOL
I think the worst movie I ever watched was called 'cement'.
Don't ask.
Anny ~ Errr... trust me, it wasn't good... more like silly but hiburan ringan2 boleh la wen all else is lousy! LOL!
ReplyDeleteMarzie ~ Memang so easy to layan :D Tak concentrate or miss 30 mins of the movie pun takpa... hahaha
ReplyDeleteHi Sandee! Welcome to Mumblings :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the award, it's really appreciated. I'll post about it soon ya.
Ratty ~ The best part about this movie was that it was straightforward. Unlike some of the current movies, I really have to watch a few times to understand the stories... the story lines are way too complicated at times.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we just love it when they make silly and impossible stunts. Watching too much Mythbusters take away the fun.
Angel ~ B grade movies help eliminate boredom then :D Yeah, I like the poster too, very original and retro!
ReplyDeleteAnn ~ I'm still amazed I watched it till the end. They rarely show retro movies these days so it was nice seeing something different for a change but I really didn't expect it to be so cheesy and crappy. I must be losing my mind!
ReplyDeleteBlinkky ~ You've heard it from me, don't watch it... save yourself! LOL!
ReplyDeleteMonica ~ 'Cool' poster, eh ;) Ya, heed my advice... you won't regret it.
Maslight ~ The sound effects... ohmygod! Memang the 'dush-dush-dush, kaboom, pow' punya sound la... nasib baik don have the music pusing2 pokok getah... LOL!
Adrian ~ LOL @ half baked potato! It was easily the cheesiest movie I've ever watched la.
ReplyDeleteVanillaSeven ~ You'll be surprised... you might like it! :D I like the hand-drawn poster too. You won't find this type of poster nowadays.
Spiff ~ I guess that's why people love their 'cheese' and always ask for 'extra-cheese'.
Duni ~ LOL @ cement!! I'm not even gonna ask but boy, the acting must be real 'stiff'... hehe
