A good movie doesn’t necessarily need to have a good plot. In fact, some of the most entertaining movies that audiences have watched have the most nonsensical plots you can think of.

It hammers home the fact that, as much as a good story can keep us hooked, moviegoers keep coming back as long as they’re entertained.

With that in mind, according to audiences, here are the most absurd movie plots that we can’t help but love.

Tremors

It’s nowhere near close to being a work of art, but Tremors is a highly entertaining B-movie with the most B-movie plot you can think of.

One thing that makes it easy to love, aside from Kevin Bacon, is how the movie does an excellent job of building momentum throughout the entire film.

Speed

There’s no denying that the plot to Speed is the most nonsensical thing you can think of: if a bus doesn’t keep its speed above 50 MPH, it will detonate a bomb.

Yet it works so well, with the constant tension helping to drive the action. Its strong cast (Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock) certainly helps.

Crank

What if you took the concept of Speed and made it “Jason Staham must keep generating adrenaline in his body, or he dies.”

You’d have 2006’s Crank, which may not be anywhere close to the quality of Speed, but if you’re looking for a popcorn action flick, it’s the perfect choice.

Shaolin Soccer

What happens when you combine kung fu with soccer? You get Shaolin Soccer!

Much of the film’s humor derives from its absurdist, over-the-top sequences, slapstick comedy, and unrealistic premise.

Kung Fu Hustle

Following the success of Shaolin Soccer, director Stephen Chow returned with Kung Fu Hustle.

Like its predecessor, the movie takes an absurd premise that results in a live-action Looney Tunes version of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Big Trouble in Little China

John Carpenter’s cult classic starring Kurt Russel was originally a box office flop, most likely because of its absurd title and premise, but also because it was released so close to Aliens.

Over time, the film has become more appreciated as it has found an audience through the home video and syndication markets.

Death Becomes Her

It’s simple, really: Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn become immortal and fight for the love of Bruce Willis.

No, not action-star Bruce Willis; he plays a balding surgeon in the movie. And by fight, I mean they literally fight each other to the death.

The Fifth Element

On paper, Bruce Willis feels more at home here, as The Fifth Element is more of a traditional action movie.

Having said that, it’s also an incredibly over-the-top and stylish sci-fi film with incredible performances from its cast, most notably Chris Tucker.

Army of Darkness

Following the success of the Evil Dead franchise, Army of Darkness decides to bring Ash to the Middle Ages.

While less scary than its predecessors, there’s still something incredibly satisfying about seeing Bruce Campbell do his thing. Hail to the king, baby, indeed.

Hot Fuzz

You know audiences love a movie whenever someone mentions a film and it’s met with non-stop quotes.

Hot after the success of Shaun of the Dead, Edgar Wright’s comedy, which is a spoof/love-letter to the action genre, is filled with so many jokes that if you blink, you’ll miss three of them.

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

There was something about these crazy 2000s-era comedies that just worked.

One big reason? Ben Stiller; his performance as White Goodman dares you not to laugh, but it was Jason Bateman’s bit character of Pepper Brooks that does an excellent job of tying this unrealistic, absurd premise together.
