Best of the Worst: Spookies, Action USA, and Alien Private Eye

They're half-right about Spookies. The original production shutdown because it ran out of money and the producer shelved it. It had two or three directors. Two years later, the producer hired another director to write a script to wrap round the existing footage, shot it and edited it into the movie. There's actually a feud between the original directors and the one who did the rip-off Phantasm/zombie/cat-man stuff. Fun fact: the house where this movie was shot is the John Jay estate. John Jay, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin celebrated the signing of the 1783 Treaty of Paris in the same house where all this crazy shit was committed to celluloid.

@@Daxinar0 - the "producer" was a crook. There's no nice way to describe him. When he walked onto the set it made my skin crawl. He bragged about getting rich by stealing other people's films. Anyway, the full "Twisted Souls" film was finished except for the effects. Tom Doran (one of the original directors) was editing the film, This "producer" was getting impatient and would argue with Tom and eventually, a verbal fight broke out and they "parted company". The scumbag producer called everyone - actors, crew - to work with him on adding footage and we told him NO. I personally told him it would be an insult to Tom and Brendan. So, he went and found some bimbo who had worked in porn and she "directed" and "edited" her crap scenes in between the good stuff. And, of course, completely sucked the life out of the good scenes. everything bad about "Spookies" can be attributed to her and the crook producer.

Action USA, challenging our unfounded temporal notions of action and consequence. Truly a masterpiece of cinema.

Someone whose idea of a vacation is being a private eye? Sounds like that one episode of Star Trek...

This is definitely the best episode of BOTW. Spoopies, Action USA, and Alien Private Eye would easily have won any other episode

At one point, I saw Mr. T’s Be Somebody or Be Somebody’s Fool as an option on Best of the Worst that was never chosen. Please, please watch it! It is legitimately mind-blowing and insane in all the best ways.

When you guys mentioned Action USA taking place in Texas. I assumed something like Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, maybe even Laredo. But nope when I saw the ALICO building my jaw dropped, those scenes took place in my home town, Waco, TX! Most of the area hasn't changed all that much with the exception what the Gaines family has done to the area. This is probably one of the most interesting movies you guys put on the show for me.

This was easily one of the funniest episode and probably my favorite so far. My mom is going through cancer treatment, and I haven't laughed in some time. Thank you for all you do and reminding me the power of laughter and humor in life. Thank you for cheering me up and helping me forget the most difficult parts of life, also. Although, Rich's laughter is causing me to have concerns I might get a noise complaint at my apartment or people might start evacuating the building, thinking it's a fire alarm.
