    Knock Off (1998)

    Its impossible to explain the sheer insanity of this movie. This thing makes Crank 2 look like a straightforward and reasonable flick. It very loosely has to do with Jean Claude Van Damme and Rob Schneider as jean knock-off manufacturers who get caught up in a conspiracy involving terrorists manufacturing nanobombs and embedding them inside jeans, toys, etc. The movie makes no sense on any level though, and will completely blow your mind. The best way I can describe it is that this is the absurdity and incompetence of The Room mixed with the insane camera-work/editing of Crank 2. Literally every scene there is some completely bizarre whip-pan, or zooming into a fish-tank, or awkward fade to something completely unrelated. Agh, I'm not even scratching the surface here. The acting is something amazing to see, its on par with, and surpasses The Room for sheer insanity. Van Damme is clearly coked out and crazy in every scene. Rob Schneider is doing bizarre accents left and right. All the line readings and dialogue are like you're watching a weird foreign dub. I'm starting to realize there's simply no way to describe how amazingly nuts this movie really is, I'm still not doing it justice. Knock-Off cannot be explained, it must be experienced. I'll put it to you this way: There's a scene where Rob Schneider whips Van Damme in the ass with a giant eel, while they're in a rickshaw race through Hong Kong. Watch this youtube video to get just a small taste of the craziness:
