The 5 Wildest and Weirdest 3D Movies

3D films are becoming the rage in Hollywood. With films like Avatar and Toy Story 3D racking in millions at the box office, 3D is enjoying a strong comeback. Wildly popular in the 1950s and 1960s, 3D was featured in many genre films from Horror to Westerns. In the next decades, 3D lost its mainstream appeal and became utilized by the Porn industry and cult filmmakers. Avatar director James Cameron created new 3D technology in the mid-1990s while working on his documentary feature Ghosts of the Abyss. This new technology was slowly adopted by Hollywood until it finally exploded with Cameron's Avatar.


The Stewardesses (1969): Rated X
Until Avatar was released, this 3D softcore pornographic film was the most profitable ever made. The film follows a crew of stewardesses on a crazy night full of drugs and sex. Best use of 3-Double-D technology.



Flesh for Frankenstein(1974): Rated X
This film is a retelling of Mary Shelley's story with a twist that only Andy Warhol could imagine. In the film, Doctor Frankenstein wants to create an elite Aryan race, so he needs a male and a female monster. The film features all kinds of horrific violence and extreme sexuality. The film features not one but two disembowlments.





Robot Monster(1953)
An evil alien robot has killed everyone on Earth except 8 people. The survivors have an immunity to the robot's death ray by taking antibiotics. The robot later fails to kill the survivors because it falls in love with an Earth woman. Just to top it all off, the whole plot of the film is revealed to be a little boy's dream.




The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl
Robert Rodriguez made this film with the help of his children, particularly his son Racer. The film follows the imagination of a boy that creates Lava Girl and Shark Boy in the dream world of (get this) Planet Drool. The film's titular duo work to defeat Mr. Electridad, played by comedian George Lopez. The film wavers from one fantasy cliche to another. It even plays postmodern when the villainous George Lopez travels to real life to kill the boy who dreamed the whole film. A weird pattern is developing.




Piranha 3D(2010)
It's a glorified buffet of gore and gorgeous girls. The film takes place at a popular Spring Break setting where an earthquake has awoken an ancient race of piranha. The style of the film is overtly tongue in cheek. Every opportunity where nudity can appear, it will. The amount of blood in this film probably outweighs the amount from all the Saw films combined. The reappearance of Christopher Lloyd and Richard Dreyfuss adds to the camp of the film, as both of the actors chew the scenery like goats in a junkyard.
