It's got to be a dead heat between Lake Placid and Big Trouble in Little China. I'm laughing just thinking about them! I watch both regularly. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitterwolf Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 3 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for 7 October 2022: What is your favorite campy Sci-fi TV show or Movie? Well actually I love Star Trek the original Series. Nowadays campy but in my youth it was THE thing to watch. And I also still have a soft spot for the supercampy original A-Team series, i mean shooting guns, throwing grenades and nobody gets killed, just some bruises and flying cars. Oh.. and apparently you could make a van or bus bulletproof just by applying some corrugated sheet! ( I wish we had known, would have saved our Armed Forces a lot of money for armor). Of course the original Battlestar Galactica Series is also a favorite of mine. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not, thou almost directly across from me, on the western side of the state are ideal sabd dunes right on the Oregon Coast. It's kinda funny to see a Fred Myer & then right behind it are the sand dunes. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape From New York. Big Trouble in Little China. Night of the Comet. @Inarah nailed it right there. I also agree with the choices she has listed. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWulfe Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 7 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for 7 October 2022: What is your favorite campy Sci-fi TV show or Movie? Wait, campy... No idea what that is, so I'm going to just list my Dave's... For series, it probably has to be Samurai Pizza Cats or Biker Mice from Mars... Andromeda is definitely near or at the top of the list for a series as well (with Stargate SG-1 right behind it)... And for movies? Titan A. E. Okay, Space balls was indeed pretty good but Im sorry, Gun and Stith are just awesome. Especially Gun. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Campy" made me think of Firefly. I just finished listing to Galaxy Outlaws: The Complete Black Ocean Mobius Mission that might count too! Ooo! Ooo!

ttuckerman Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 9 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for 7 October 2022: What is your favorite campy Sci-fi TV show or Movie? Zontar, Thing from Venus. It was a remake of a bad B Movie done with terrible actors. Saw it in college when one of my roommates, who loved bad movies, saw it in the tv movie listing in the local paper. They rated movies at that time from A to D. This is the only one that they rated F. They were generous not to give it Z. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zink Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 10 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for 7 October 2022: What is your favorite campy Sci-fi TV show or Movie? So hard to choose. Looking at the DVD collection Spaceballs and Big Trouble in Little China are there. I really liked the original Battlestar Galactica as a kid and I've found where I can watch it online. Late 70s and early 80s (my early childhood) were great for campy shows. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylverthorne Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 10 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for 7 October 2022: What is your favorite campy Sci-fi TV show or Movie? uh. I'm.. not actually sure what counts as 'Campy', to be honest. A bunch of things that I enjoy probably count, tho. I do see Ice Pirates mentioned, if not by name; I enjoyed that enough to pick up a copy. I remember enjoying the original A-Team (I rather particularly enjoyed the 'okay, we don't have the stuff we need, so we're just gonna jury-rig something, and go from there! Whee!' aspect of the thing; the rest of it wasn't nearly as interesting as them taking a bunch of random stuff, tacking it together and somehow having it WORK...) If Battleship counts as camp, I enjoyed that (although whatsisnoodle needed a few more kicks to the posterior; he's more interesting when he's being competent). I don't really have a favorite, though. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it counts as camp but Red Dwarf has always been a favorite of mine. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna mention that, actually went back and removed it from my reply because it's fantasy not sci-fi. I didn't know if tomorrow's question might have been about fantasy, so I didn't want to get ahead of things. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
