So Bad It's Good?

I just found this online. It's the climax of a Pakistani movie where noble-hearted Muslims seek to kill Salman Rushdie. But in the end they can't quite manage it... so they get some help.

Some very strange help.

Complete with TV Tropes supplied description here: •The Pakistani movie International Guerrillas. It shows the story of three Pakistani guys who, after seeing how one of their relatives is killed by the police during the demonstrations against Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses, decided to go and murder the famous writer. The movie becomes a cat and mouse game, with the guerrillas being always a few seconds too late, allowing Rushdie to run away while they are stuck figthing his armies of thugs. With some (hilariously bad) Bollywood dance segments in between. And a bunch of cut and paste action sequences (more like copy and paste, since all the sequences play at least three times before moving on to the following one). Finally, Rushdie catches the protagonists, but suddenly a literal Deus Ex Machina (a flying Ku'ran, symbolizing Allah) apears to save the 'heroes' and kill Rushdie with some Dramatic Thunder. All in glorious VHS quality. It has to be seen to be believed.

so bad its good, internet weirdness, bad movies, islam
