I moderate a bad movie screening series that's described as "A celebration of awful movies through semi-regular Monday night screenings by rotating hosts. From the polluted minds behind Good Things About Bad Movies and Halloween Horror Picks."
Dragonfyre was the ninth bad movie we watched, and most of us thought it was actually rather decent. What follows is the mini review I shared with the group shortly after first watching the movie.
Tonight's Bad Movie was pretty watchable, at least compared to the no budget SOV garbage we usually watch. That's not to say that Dragonfyre was good, exactly, but we all agreed that it has been undeservedly kicked in the shins on IMDb... 3.4 is definitely lower than our estimations.
Still, at its core, this is a movie about a retired soldier (played by an underwear model) who finds himself the guardian of a dimensional portal that allows LARPers in Lord of the Rings costumes to hassle rednecks. There's something in there about an elf princess and a Native American stereotype too, not to mention a witch and a "fyre" breathing CGI dragon. Truthfully, the obnoxious spelling in the title might be the worst thing about this movie as I otherwise kinda enjoyed watching a redneck kill orcs with a shotgun for 90 minutes.

Driving Bill Crazy was the 3rd bad movie we watched, and it remains one of the worst of the series. Here's what I had to say about the movie (on our private group page) just after having suffered through it:
"Ugh. I did not enjoy that. Mike made us watch an aggressively unlikable movie about stoner con-artists whose convoluted scam has something to do with annoying their roommate so badly that he eventually goes insane, and... something about opening businesses in his name... and selling experimental drugs... or something? Hell, I don't know. But the movie REALLY sucked. It may have been the worst Bad Movie Mondays entry so far, but then I remember the giant lake-shark that eats people who don't know what an island is (Attack of the Jurassic Shark), so maybe not. But it was close."
As that barely amounts to a mini review, I'll add that everyone who attended that night still cites this as one of the more painfully bad films he or she has ever seen. It's a comedy that isn't funny, which is only the tip of this film's iceberg of crimes. It's cheap, mean spirited, immature, amateurishly made, ugly, implausible, nonsensical, and barely watchable. I disliked it tremendously.
Watch at your own peril, but, if (like me) you masochistically seek out terrible movies for some reason... this will certainly do.
