Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/GhostbustersII'': Similar to the first film, the Ghostbusters do a KitschyLocalCommercial which features Janine Melnitz and Louis Tully playing a married couple who are "haunted" by a BedsheetGhost which is pulled back and forth on a string and BadBadActing abounds as Janine appears to stare straight into the camera as she says "[[WhoYouGonnaCall Who are you going to call]]?".

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/StrangeBrew'': Bob and Doug's [[ShowWithinAShow Movie Within A Movie]], ''Mutants of 2051 AD'', has supremely cheap costumes, very bad cinematography, and overwrought narration.

* The UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward (or "Razzies"), an annual cinematic awards show for "worst in film", are intentionally played up to be a legitimate awards show but with the feel of an Oscar-night knockoff, according to creator John Wilson:

Added DiffLines:

* The horror comedy BMovie ''Bad CGI Sharks'', which features, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a bad CGI shark]], which [[NoFourthWall several characters in the movie reference as being poorly digitally animated]]. Also goes for its sequel, ''Bad CGI Gator'', which does look marginally better than whatever the shark was (for better or worse).

True Art Is Incomprehensible is now an in-universe trope as per TRS.


* The writing of the title character of ''Film/BartonFink'' isn't so much sucky as [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible completely nonsensical]]. The "wrestling movie" Barton watches fits the trope well, though.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/ThirdSaturdayInOctoberPartI'': This sequel to ''Film/ThirdSaturdayInOctoberPartV'', passing itself off as the first installment in the RetroactiveLegacy series, is supposedly filmed in 1979.
** The gore effects are very cheap.
** The film is grainier as if it's a cheap, old print, and it occasionally warps or flickers.
** During several indoor scenes, characters reference the time being late at night while bright daylight is clearly beaming in through the curtains and drapes.
** During one zoom-in on Heather, the camera loses focuses for a few seconds.
** The sheriff's uniform is obviously a yellow jumpsuit with random law enforcement patches and lettering glued onto it. When he tells Denver that he's not a police officer but the sheriff, a patch on his shoulder is clearly visible reading "Police K-9 Unit."
* ''Film/ThirdSaturdayInOctoberPartV'':
** The film plays up its low budget and limited resources to pass itself off as a low-budget 1990s-era horror flick.
** The film has an [[https://www.angelfire.com/al3/HaddonFieldHorrors/ Angelfire website]] portraying itself as a fan site of the series. It's designed using atrociously 1990s-era website aesthetics, including giant green text over screencaps from the movies.

* UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode's compulsory insistence on HappyEnding in movies often led to movies having abrupt, unrealistic endings that audiences felt were not convincing. A lot of this was deliberately done by film-makers and screenwriters. Creator/DouglasSirk, director of melodramas like ''Film/{{Imitation of Life|1959}}'' and ''All That Heaven Allows'' noted in post-career interviews that he deliberately made his endings unconvincing so that audiences would focus on the subtext of his films and he stated that this was a common practice in American films of the time.
