15 Action Movies That Are Unintentionally Hilarious

9. 9 Deaths Of The Ninja (1985)

With its pre-credits action sequence, €˜epic€™ theme song and flamboyant villains with silly names, as well as an appearance by Octopussy€™s Vijay Amritraj, 9 Deaths thinks it€™s a shoestring Bond movie, an ambition that€™s derailed by saucer-eyed overacting, a supporting turn from Brent Huff (remember him in The Perils Of Gwendoline? Didn€™t think so) and way too many unintentional laughs. The problem with Moore-era Bonds was they often flirted with camp, what with all those comic strip villains and starlets named Chew Mee, but at least Roger€™s smirk let you know the filmmakers were in on the joke. Here it€™s hard to tell. There€™s dwarf henchmen, naked female assassins, a villain that can catch a bullet, plus characters named Honey Hump and Madame Woo Pee, but it€™s too earnest for it to be intentional. Then there€™s Blackie Dammett as Alby The Cruel, a wheelchair-bound Nazi in the Dr Strangelove mould, who when he can€™t light his cigarette spits it out and shoots at it. You know Red Hot Chili Peppers€™ Anthony Kiedis has watched this scene, if only to check out his dad€™s acting.
