Torque
If Fast and Furious was motorcycles, but was dreamed up by a coked up meth head https://youtu.be/Aqmze9kIvMU
Drive
Stars the guy who hosts Iron Chef and Brittany Murphy. Legit martial arts mixed in the middle of an insanely bad it's good movie. https://youtu.be/7y3sCYmqOz0
During early pandemic, I watched/rewatched a whole bunch of mid-80s to late-90s action flicks (action's heyday?) and remember Drive not just as great fun but one of a whole slew that had that same... exercise machine?
The one with three concentric rings, and you strap into the middle and spin around in all directions. I think Universal Soldier, Fortress and a bunch more had it too. I should have turned it into a drinking game, as it seemed to be crammed into every 90s sci-fi flick.
Here's my terrible attempt at drawing what I mean.
Does anyone know what it's called?

Solid picks!
Iron Sky counts, right? Its budget is a bit high but it's a B-movie and it knows it.
I had forgotten about that one, but yeah pretty solid B!
Many good titles were mentioned here. So as not to add toΒ theΒ repetition, IΒ willΒ add some obscure, but I think fun-to-watch, movies:

Johnny Mnemonic and Lawnmower Man are B movies?
If you're not laughing at how absurdly bad both of these films are, I don't know what to tell you. The comedy of them is what makes them B-Movies to me.
I want to get online. I need! A computer!
I don't know what to say the delivery kills me every time. So over the top and absurd.
Considering Leonard Maltin gave Laserblast the same 2.5 stars as Temple of Doom I guess B is in the eye of the beholder

They Live and From Beyond are the two I immediately think of.
Quentin Tarantino on Russ Meyer and "Super Vixens."
If you like movies you should know Russ.
Faster Pussycat Kill Kill
I'm going with little known/flops.
Gataca Fandango Byrdy (might be Birdy, saw it when I was young) Head office (old HBO movie)

- America 3000
- Shaolin vs Evil Dead
- Battle Beyond the Stars
I kinda feel like actual kung fu movies (not things like Kung Pao: Enter the Fist, etc.) are their own special category, lol! Had almost forgotten about America 3000, yet another Menahem and Yoram gem!
Chalet Girl - Solid B level romcom with Bill Nighy, Ed Westwick, and Felicity Jones. Story is kinda plain, but it's one of my go to movies to cheer me up
I really like Miami Connection. Itβs so cheesy, but in an endearing way.
I'll have to check that one out, somehow never seen it.
