Dangerous Men [2005]

This film was shot in 1984 but it wasn't released until 2005, making it immediate bad movie fodder. In spite of there being 20 years to edit these beast, it still doesn't make any sense and has some of the most hilariously jarring cuts. Trying to explain the plot is difficult because it is basically three disjointed movies in one with varying degrees of storytelling.

The first plot involves a young engaged couple who is attacked by two bikers on the beach. The man in the couple and one of the bikers die so the woman immediately pretends to be into the other biker so she can lure him to a hotel room and kill him. After, she hitchhikes and the man driving her tries to rape her at gunpoint so she threatens him, kicks him out of the car naked, and drives off. This leads to her going on a killing spree of men but unlike the first two guys, none of these seem to deserve it. She just lures men into thinking she'll have sex with them then kills them when they try to have sex with her. She even pays a prostitute for tips. In a side note, she is caught and arrested. 

The second plot involves a cop who stops a biker from raping the same woman twice, the second time being a bit of a set up orchestrated by the cop and the woman. There are some parallels to the first story but they don't seem to be connected.

The third plot is about some bad biker named Black Pepper. A police detective who does at least know the cop from the second plot mentions him briefly and then later BP has a fight with the cops and the film ends super abruptly when he is caught. Aside from the reoccurring bikers, these plots have nothing in common.

In addition to the nonsense, the sound quality is terrible, the editing is masterfully bad to the point where we couldn't tell the difference between commercials and the actual movie, and the acting is subpar, especially the gloriously bad hand-to-hand combat. It's not too long at about an hour and 17 so why not give it a shot.
