Cyborg Karate RobotBeast vs. Future Ninja Cop

Cracked offers up a list of 7 words only bad movies have in the title. It’s not bad as far as it goes, but:

  1. The seven words (which may be gleaned from the title of this post) are 100% from Guy Flick titles. And, you know, fair enough. But you could probably come up with a similar list for Chick Flick titles (“Heart” and “Love” both come to mind).
  2. Even by that standard, I bet there are more crappy movies with the “Fighter” than “Ninja” in the title.
  3. Horror movies are insufficiently represented. “Dark” and “Blood” (Blood Simple and a few others excepted) would likely yield a crapload of crap. And don’t get me started on “Shark”. Has there ever been an actual good movie with “Shark” in the title?)
  4. Despite what the article says, any Hong Kong movie with “Cop” in the title starring Jackie Chan is pretty much guaranteed to be awesome.

    A quick survey of movies tagged “shark” in IMDB suggests that the answer is “No.”

    But I would kind of like to see “She Gods of Shark Reef”.
