Extreme Prejudice.
Nick Nolte, Powers Booth, and so many “Oh look it’s that guy” actors, I call it the B-Movie Expendables.

Yes! We still do Big Jim Slade references haha
Man, this brought memories of the annual sci-fi movie festival. Tremors was early afternoon every year and the entire cinema would talk the opening scene from Tremors. You couldn’t hear the actors! Was awesome.

Candyman. I still won’t say it three times in the mirror.
Good movie! I was about 14 when I watched it with my gf and girl cuzo. As soon as the movie finished I turned off all the lights and dragged them both to the bathroom to watch me say it. They were both nearly in tears

For a second there, I was expecting that to go off in an entirely different direction.

I feel like we need to agree on a definition of a B movie. Just because it was from the 80’s or 90’s doesn’t make a it a B movie.
B movies are the disaster flicks of the 70’s, Bruce Campbell movies, Blaxploitation flicks, and various assorted horror movies (The Toxic Avenger).
Tremors, The Whole Nine Yards (Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet, et al…really?) are NOT B movies. Neither is Predator or Road House.
Eraserhead, Double Trouble (fuck yeah!), Uwe Boll movies, Vincent Price vehicles, and Death Race 2000 (a personal favorite) definitely are.

Wouldn’t Tremors count?
Tremors, starring Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Michael Gross, and Reba McEntire released by Universal Studios?
Uh, no.

I always considered B movies to be any movie with a poor plot, acting or box office revenues… Regardless of budget/cast.
Demons (1986)
I’m gonna recommend this movie for the 3rd time on this forum since everyone who likes bad horror movies should be watching this.
- The soundtrack is just fucking awesome. AWESOME.
- It was written and produced by Dario Argento, director of Tenebre, Deep Red and Suspira and co-writer of Once Upon a Time in the West. And the screenplay still made so fucking sense.
- The SFX was way ahead of it’s time. Tom Savini has nothing on any of this.
- This dude is one of my favourite movie characters ever.
- The ending is probably the 2nd greatest horror movie ending ever, right after The Howling.
Watch the version that was dubbed in English. The lines are epically bad.

Tremors always just struck me as a B movie of the time when I compare it to an A movie of the time. If something like Terminator 2 is an A- and Steven Segal’s masterpiece dissertation in dislocation Hard To Kill is an A+, Tremors is maybe a B+ at best.
You seem to have some official film snob definition of the term B movie, whereas I was creative enough to make up my own meaning for the word.
I think you misunderstood. He’s referring to this definition:
Most of the popular '80s B movies which were not exploitation films were produced by:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cannon_Group,_Inc.
“Although they are most remembered for the Death Wish sequels and Chuck Norris action pictures such as The Delta Force and Invasion U.S.A., and igniting a worldwide ninja craze with “The Ninja Trilogy”, an anthology series which consisted of Enter the Ninja, Revenge of the Ninja, and Ninja III: The Domination all starring Sho Kosugi, as well as producing the first two American Ninja films, and even the vigilante thriller Exterminator 2 (the sequel to 1980’s The Exterminator), Cannon’s output was actually far more varied, with musical and comedy films such as Breakin’, Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, The Last American Virgin, and the U.S. release of The Apple; period drama pictures such as Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1981), Bolero, and Mata Hari (1985); science fiction and fantasy films such as Hercules, Lifeforce and The Barbarians; as well as serious pictures such as John Cassavetes’ Love Streams, Zeffirelli’s Otello (a film version of the Verdi opera), Norman Mailer’s Tough Guys Don’t Dance, and Andrei Konchalovsky’s Runaway Train and Shy People; and action/adventure films such as the 3-D Treasure of the Four Crowns, King Solomon’s Mines, and Cobra.
One of Cannon’s biggest hits was the Vietnam action B-movie Missing in Action, with Chuck Norris.[6]”
If it wasn’t for Cannon, we wouldn’t have gems like:
So I wouldn’t call it a “film snob” definition because, IMO, it’s an acknowledgement and tribute to the makers of all these awesome bad movies.
Of course, we’re free to have our own definition for the purpose of this thread.
