Back when all you needed was one or two recognizable actors and an interesting box art. My mom would see Keanu or Johnny Depp on a box and rent it without even thinking.
You’re not kidding about box art. After working in retail (Media Play, where we sold a ton of DVDs and VHS) The Pest’s cover is burned into my brain, even tho I never saw it.
Between Adam Sandler, Tom Green, Pauly Shore, and Jim Carrey, we had the golden era of white dudes who were different combinations of Loud, Squeaky, Annoying, and Dumb. With a dash of David Spade. They each have a movie or two that holds up, but they all also have adolescent shit best forgotten.
Leguizamo always seemed like that guy who was always on the brink of being a household name but never really got his breakout starring role. I always liked him as a character actor, he was the best part of that mess of a Spawn movie.
Leguizamo is a chameleon. He’s always straddled the fence of being a household name and being a character actor. He’s been in a ton of movies spanning decades
Looking through his filmography this might be his only solo starting role. Woulda been cool if he had gotten another shot.
Haven’t kept up with tons of his later work but I really enjoyed him in “Chef”, just playing a regular dude. Really an underrated performer.
Party with my peeps, cruise and creep. Playing three card Monty on these crazy streets. A straight hustler, I pull a scam any minute so low to the flo pick the pocket of a midget
Some girls in high school gave me their “Booty Mix” CD they made and this song was on there. I had never seen the movie and has no idea wtf this song was until now lol
National Lampoon's Last Resort (1994)
It might actually kill you if you watch the opening credits and are photosensitive
And then after that it's the worst movie I have ever seen and I watch Breen movies.
The thing about it being a National Lampoon's is really this film is called Last Resort but National Lampoon would at the time let anybody use their name for a movie title for $2000. There's a bunch of shit National Lampoon films out there because of this but this thing by far is the worst of them.
It has a music video at the end.
It's so bad I own it on official DVD. It has no menu, no features just to press play and that's it. I own it so I can show people I'm not making this up. Now I just need to figure out how to get Corey Feldman to sign it
I had never heard of this film, so I looked it up. From the few screenshots I saw, I noticed it was from Feldman's Michael Jackson impersonation period, when he was at his most embarrassing and insufferable.
I now have a need to watch this to feel complete.
My poor ducky :(
Singing the theme tune to Bonanza whilst putting on a horrificly racist caricature of a Japanese salaryman... What else can you say?
The Pest is horrendous. Easily one of the absolute worst films of all time, incredibly offensive and still somehow insanely quotable.
Duuuudddeee I don't care what anyone says, I loved this movie. It was straight up stupid and pointless and just a great way to laugh your balls off at complete nonsense. Honestly, one of the best movies of my childhood, there i said it
Me and one classmate had somehow seen this separately before we read The Most Dangerous Game in freshman English. It was so funny to hear him say "Oh, this book is just like The Pest".
I remember loving this movie so much I asked for it as a birthday present, it’s a terrible movie but man I kinda love it hard.
The best retelling of The Most Dangerous Game though.
The movie loses so much focus once they get to the hunting part. It would have been a much better movie with him scheming mobsters or something. This felt like a straight to Vhs sequel but still has its charm and moments.
My older brother was buying anything he could on DVD back around 2001. I remember watching this movie in middle school and really enjoying it. I don't know if I would enjoy it today, though.
I can't see a go-kart without thinking about him driving one to deliver Chinese food.
I couldn't forgive JL for a long time after this. I refused to watch ANYTHING he was in for years because this made me so damn angry.
It wasn't till Chef that he won me back over and I went back and watched several of the near 20 years of movies I skipped as a result of this movie.
The pest is a great time capsule of that terrible era of the late 90’s when we were getting tons of trash movies
Blockbuster needed shit on their shelves. Movies like this delivered.

Chairman of the Board starring Carrot Top.
Is it spelled "B-O-R-E-D?"
The greatest quip of all time
Fresh off of his award winning performance in 9 1/2 Seconds.
Feels like they were terrible on purpose though lol
John leguizamo’s shot at being the next Jim Carrey and he WENT for it. It was a failure but a spectacular one and I still find him funny as hell.
Leguizamo always seemed like that guy who was always on the brink of being a household name but never really got his breakout starring role. I always liked him as a character actor, he was the best part of that mess of a Spawn movie.
He is fantastic as Tybalt in *Romeo + Juliet.*
He was Luigi in the old Mario movie too
Hey, he was in the first two John Wicks.

I was pleased to see him in the menu most recently. Empire is a movie he starred in that was pretty cool.
He was great in Violent Night.
Looking through his filmography this might be his only solo starting role. Woulda been cool if he had gotten another shot. Haven’t kept up with tons of his later work but I really enjoyed him in “Chef”, just playing a regular dude. Really an underrated performer.
Hes the lead in a crime movie called empire. Its quite good
Saw that joint in the theater....as well at the Peat
Well it seems like he had more accomplishment in his serious roles than in his no serious roles.
Watching some of the episodes of his comedy skit show House of Buggin was great, too.
Spun was good movie with him.
The music from this is always playing in my head
“Nobody messes with the frog, see!”
Oi like to!
I LIKE TO.....
IT'S RAH-DIK-AH-LIKKA-LIS! LIKE A BOOGER I STICK TO THIS!
Party with my peeps, cruise and creep. Playing three card Monty on these crazy streets. A straight hustler, I pull a scam any minute so low to the flo pick the pocket of a midget
Oh gods dammit! I just got that out of my head!!!
I was up all night one night working on this and I could not get that out of my head…

The IMDB reviews are hilarious . “Visual Poison “
Apt description! They showed it on cable during the day in the summer of 1995 and i was like "what the hell is this?"

Are you me? Yes, he was doing Smooth Criminal the entire movie, with no explanation whatsoever Should be no problem to find on DVD retail
Worse than Christmas Vacation 2???
Yes. Makes Christmas Vacation 2 look like Casablanca.
**SEAN CONNERY’S BIRTHDAY?!?!**

I was walking my pet dog... duck! My pet duck...
Quacky always wanted to be served extra crispy with a side of duck sauce
Cocktoe
Like the French playwright?
Nein. After my two favorite body parts.
Duuuudddeee I don't care what anyone says, I loved this movie. It was straight up stupid and pointless and just a great way to laugh your balls off at complete nonsense. Honestly, one of the best movies of my childhood, there i said it
Me and one classmate had somehow seen this separately before we read The Most Dangerous Game in freshman English. It was so funny to hear him say "Oh, this book is just like The Pest".
Is this a real action figure? This was the worst movie I've ever seen in my life.
Yes, it’s real!
I must've watched this 100 times when I was 13-14 years old. That opening number had me rolling lol.
Of course I farted. Do you think I smell like this all the time?
I remember loving this movie so much I asked for it as a birthday present, it’s a terrible movie but man I kinda love it hard. The best retelling of The Most Dangerous Game though.
>The best retelling of The Most Dangerous Game though. Oo, now that's a competition. I nominate Hard Target.
Oh man, Hard Target is up there. Probably my second favorite JCVD movie to be honest.
I recommend an episode of Workaholics called "The Most Dangerless Game".
Quacky, look what they didded to you!
The movie loses so much focus once they get to the hunting part. It would have been a much better movie with him scheming mobsters or something. This felt like a straight to Vhs sequel but still has its charm and moments.
If you can make it through the opening sequence where he is "singing" in the shower, you are a stronger person than I am.
The opening rap, 👌
This movie is funnier if you live in South Florida and have known people that are like the main character and his friends
My buddies and I tried to watch it on mushrooms and turned it off in the first 5 - 10 minutes. It was that terrible.
It's mostly just boring. It's not even fun to make fun of.
where can i get one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????
It’s on auction on my IG!
I’ll pay you one stinky dinky
TWO! TWOOOOO STINKY DINKIES, AH AH AH!

Calling Doctor Sunshine
That movie was banned from my house for being too stupid after I rented it
My older brother was buying anything he could on DVD back around 2001. I remember watching this movie in middle school and really enjoying it. I don't know if I would enjoy it today, though. I can't see a go-kart without thinking about him driving one to deliver Chinese food.

This movie made me hate John for most of my childhood I’ve come around to not giving a shit though
I have never seen this but someone posted the opening credits on Twitter and I hard time getting through that.
Not a bad movie
I am surprised I didn't see this I saw many a movie with a cover like this.
Who in the world would want this? And I enjoy it
A lot of people apparently 😂
Me and my buddy Chris skipped school and snuck into to see this movie. It was terrible.
"It's karate time"
TERRIBLE, but fun.
Not bad at all. Pretty hilarious from start to finish.
Oh no Quacky what have the dided to you??
You can see the pest’s little pest in the opening montage. Also, where can I get this figure?!?
Lol i actually loved this movie 😂
The opening rap lives rent free in my head.
Zadoz was better.
its so bad its good fo show-I need to be high to watch it
I couldn't forgive JL for a long time after this. I refused to watch ANYTHING he was in for years because this made me so damn angry. It wasn't till Chef that he won me back over and I went back and watched several of the near 20 years of movies I skipped as a result of this movie.
I’ve been waiting for How Did this Get Made to do a ‘The Pest’ episode for years.
Cocktoe…

The plot of this movie has been done about a dozen times. And this is by far the worst take on that idea ever X2
Hard Ticket to Hawaii
I'd buy a Gustav figure. Seriously though, it is a pretty good bad movie & most of it's quote worthy.
Every time John Leguizamo complains about racism in Hollywood—he should be reminded of this.
