Troll 2 (1990): "It’s Giving Shrek Ketchup"
Don’t let the name fool you — there’s no movie out there quite like Troll 2. Well, except for maybe Leprechaun. And Society. And The Princess Bride. And commercials for the Heinz ketchup collab with Shrek. But other than that, this 1990-era movie is truly one of a kind. Given a pseudo-sequel name and yet telling its own original story (about goblins, despite any possible confusion), Troll 2 is often lauded as the best worst movie out there, and they’ve got the behind-the-scenes documentary to prove it.
