Mine is the Perfect Genetic Soldier Monologue from Bison in Street Fighter. I must've watched it a billion times because it's that awesome, only followed by my second favorite one, the Atomic Supermen monologue in Ed Wood. Raul Julia really carried the movie and gave us the gift of such powerful monologue.

It was indeed BEAUTIFUL.

I had this on a 4-way creature feature DVD with Spiders 2 (They're on a big boat this time!) and Octopus 1 and 2 (I never watched them because, to quote 8 year old me, "Spiders are cooler and octopusses are stupid").

It's fantastic. Still a yearly watch, it follows a UFO reporter chasing a lead to a secret government base where a secret government space shuttle has crashed, along with it's cargo/experiments of genetically engineered secret government Spiders and crew of secret government goopified victims.

In fact, I don't even know if it's meant to be secret. I think it is just a good 'ol NASA Space Shuttle, but they fuck about with spiders, and everyone just has the vibe of secret government secret people.

I LOVED this movie. Still do, tbh. Admittedly I was obsessed with Spiders (The first DVD I ever bought online was Eight Legged Freaks!), but it has a familiar charm to anyone that loves the blend of corporate horror and science gone wrong that encompasses the entire Resident Evil franchise. That's why I loved it, anyway.

I can't get it out of my head, "Female lead investigates a secret underground lab where genetically a genetically engineered monster gets loose, turn on it's creators, before the big bad corporate agent guy willingly mutates into a giant monster hismelf, going on a bit of a bender, before being put down by a quip and a rocket launcher" is basically the plot of Resident Evil.

The sequel was much less fun, and much worse all around. Spiders feels like an earnest effort on a low budget, and that effort shines through to soften where it lacks.

You might recognise several actors, including Lana Parrilla from her longstanding role on Once upon a Time, and also Season 4 of 24, and Jonathan Breck from Jeepers Creepers!

And our lead villain. What a guy. The hammiest Willem DaFoe look-a-like they could get, and god does this guy relish every ounce of hot nonsense he has to read.

Honestly, if you're down for low-budget creature features, with bad CGI (But some genuinely fantastic make-up and practical work to make up for it!), give it a shot.

It's bad, but I love it.

I'm on the hunt for the best bad movie that came out this year. So far my top three (in no particular order) are Mercy, Niu Lai, and Propeller: One-Way Night Coach. Obviously the new Breen will be a contender, if I can find a way to see it. What else is going on out there, what news hits have y'all found?
