Slender anthology of clips from old B-movies (and on down through Z-movies), assembled with a sort of Worst Films of All Time/Golden Turkey Awards mentality (indeed, the dreaded Medveds, Harry and Michael, are credited as consultants). Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Cheech and Chong, and John Candy appear as "hosts" in ill-filmed and ill-written transitional sequences to help you along with the humor, in the event you don't quite get it, but they actually hinder more than help. Little help is offered, either, in identifying the myriad clips, and no very reliable discriminatory powers are discernible in their selection and arrangement. Despite all this, much laughter is generated, along with an earnest yearning to see again, or for the first time, such curios as The Amazing Colossal Man and High School Hellcats. Directed by Malcolm Leo and Andrew Solt. (1982) — Duncan Shepherd
