I paid $12 to rent 'The VelociPastor' and it was the best bad movie night ever

So last Friday, my friend and I were scrolling through streaming, totally bored. We saw this movie called 'The VelociPastor' for rent and the description said a priest turns into a dinosaur to fight ninjas. We laughed so hard we just had to see it, even for twelve bucks. The whole thing is shot like a home video, the CGI dinosaur is basically a guy in a cheap rubber suit, and there's a car explosion that's clearly a toy model. We were crying from laughing, not from the drama. It's so bad it wraps back around to being amazing. Honestly, that $12 was better spent than on any fancy new release that month. Anyone else have a 'so bad it's good' movie they'd pay to watch again?

I read somewhere that the director actually made this whole movie for like 35 grand and shot it in three weeks with his friends acting in it. That explains why every action scene looks like it was filmed in somebody's backyard with zero stunt coordination. Did you catch the part where the prostitute randomly starts speaking fluent Japanese and never mentions it again?

Saw a review for that movie calling it a beautiful disaster. Totally get why you'd pay for it, some movies are just an event. My pick is "The Room", which feels like it was made by aliens trying to understand human life. The awkward sex scenes and random football tossing get me every time. What's the worst line in VelociPastor?

The Room is a perfect pick for that. The weird green screen rooftop scenes and Lisa's mom talking about breast cancer out of nowhere really sell the alien theory. For VelociPastor, the worst line has to be the priest yelling "I must find the dinosaur within!" right before he turns. Does any movie beat that for pure, unfiltered nonsense?
