See ya, champ!

In Mikey, TV's Brian Bonsall (who, for the record, now looks like this) is a psychotic orphan who burns through several foster families, sometimes quite literally. There's no subtlety to Bonsall's horrendous acts as he spouts one-liners and kills the crap out of everyone.
Cynthia Rothrock destroys Richard Norton with a thousand kicks

Cynthia Rothrock destroys Richard Norton with a thousand kicks

Well, maybe not a thousand, but there's certainly an inordinate amount of kicking in this clip from Lady Dragon.
Rutger Hauer shoots a rat

Rutger Hauer shoots a rat

Rutget Hauer's performance in 1992's action/sci-fi hybrid Split Second is a thing of beauty. He chomps down so much scenery that he can barely contain his Dutch accent. He's extraordinarily entertaining. He also shoots a rat.
Absurd tongue torture in Japanese Hell

Absurd tongue torture in Japanese Hell

Jigoku is two unfinished films mashed awkwardly into one, and the results are as messy as you'd expect. The absurdity hits its peak towards the end of the film where we watch a bunch of evil assholes get tongue tortured.
The Roller Blade Seven (1991)

The Roller Blade Seven (1991)

After a lifetime of being brainwashed by Hollywood into thinking we know what a good movie looks like, sometimes you just need to see something so radically the opposite of professionally made to realign our karmic balance.
"Show him how good your teeth are!"

“Show him how good your teeth are!”

I'm a big, big fan of Brian Yuzna. I can't get enough of his sleazy, gooey style, and The Dentist is one of his best. But it's not just Yuzna that brings the fun. Corbin Bernsen's off-the-rails performance has to be seen to be believed.

Under the Gun (1995)

The early to mid 90s was a ripe time for action films made in Australia. A period where a plethora of beefcakes smashed their way through the Great Southern Land. From Tom Selleck in Quigley Down Under, Christopher Lambert in Fortress, to Carl Weathers in Hurricane Smith.
Don't worry, guys, I'm calling 5 ambulances

Don’t worry, guys, I’m calling 5 ambulances

Fridge-faced Brian Bosworth must be a real swell guy. In One Tough Bastard, Bosworth plays a character hellbent on revenge against MC Hammer (seriously). On the way he treats his foes with the utmost respect. As demonstrated here in this thoughtful scene.
Bullet Down Under (1994)

Bullet Down Under (1994)

Mark "Jacko" Jackson tries hard in his role as Jack Moran. Really hard. His effort is admirable. You can see it in his munted face.
Clifford (1994)

Clifford (1994)

Clifford was kept on the shelf for 3 years, but trust me, if you haven’t seen it and when you do, not only will you be asking "Why does this exist?" you will also be asking "Thank you?"
