Have you ever laughed through a very serious film? We know you have. We have all done that. Unintentional funny films are the best. Sometimes, they are more hilarious than intentional funny films. Let’s go through several action-thriller or horror movies that have dissolved into an unintentional comedy.
Troll 2
With a name like that, no wonder it has gone through one of the worst trolls ever. We don’t know whether it is a good or bad film, but it does make us laugh every time we watch its reruns. The funny part, it isn’t terrifying. And the unintentional humor it packs in can make most people roar with laughter. Many websites are exclusive to a list of terrible movies, which makes us laugh every time we see them.
Undefeatable
The 1990s are reserved for action thrillers, and one seems to be a gem. This may turn out to be one of those films that combines everything from hamming actors to a terrible script. So, the plotline looks like Kristi Jones (Cynthia Rothrock) seeks revenge for her sister’s death at the hands of a crazed martial artist. The villain is skilled in the criminal game in more ways than one. Undefeatable is also one of the most celebrated movies in the bad movie category. To take a sneak peek, watch its trailer first.
The Swarm
It is not always the case that unconventional comedy films feature struggling actors. This film, for instance, has some legendary actors like Michael Caine, Katharine Ross, and Henry Fonda. Michael Caine has to mouth some of the hilarious dialogues ever and with a straight face.
The Swarm has a man who fights against nature with an invading force of killer bees from South America. The film also discloses that the film’s African killer bee does not bear any resemblance with the industrious, hard-working American honey bee, even crediting it for pollinating important crops that feed the nation. We cannot help chuckle at this funny disclaimer.
Final Destination
This has a strange disclaimer that cheats death once, and it will come after you with such a vengeance that you may have to meet up with a violent death. This flick was thought to be really ‘scary,’ but it was anything but. There was a constant flow of unintentional comedy of errors: the death scenes tried to be one upon each other. This film proved to be one that kept audiences rooted to their seats so much so that it spawned an entire franchise.
Hard Ticket to Hawaii
It’s been 30 years since its release, and Hard Ticket to Hawaii still promises to be as much fun. You may have even seen some scenes of it, where the guy throws the razor Frisbee on the beach. If you haven’t seen it yet, perhaps we can intrigue you enough to watch it once.
Also, it offers a ticket to Hawaii. Whether it is a ticket to paradise, we don’t know that yet. But the laughs come thick and fast here. Imagine being killed by a razor frisbee or someone on a skateboard being killed by a bazooka! It is surely a gem that one cannot afford to miss.
The Incredible Melting Man
This was as baffling as it was hilarious. If you hear about the premise, you may have to scratch your head in sheer wonderment. It is a tale of a spaceman who got so close to the sun that he melted. After the ill-fated space voyage, he returns to earth as a gelatinous mass to destroy the planet.
Yes, it is as dreadful as it sounds. But it is so dreadful that it can set you off to peals of laughter. The melting man goes about scaring people, and one woman gets so scared that she runs through a glass door to escape from him—impossibly funny stuff.
