10. The Raiders of Atlantis (1983)

“One reviewer described the film as ‘not so much suspension of disbelief as total suspension of all brain activity.’ But what would Plato would make of it?”
Controversial Italian director Rugerro ‘Cannibal Holocaust’ Deodato’s contribution to the Atlantis movie canon is this trashy, apocalyptic sci-fi action adventure B-movie, which goes under the Italian title I Predatori di Atlantide (it's also sometimes known as Atlantis Interceptors).

In the process of investigating a wrecked Russian submarine off the coast of Florida, a scientist manages to unwittingly resurrect the lost city of Atlantis, and its evil inhabitants, who resemble some kind of Mad Max-style punk rock biker gang in fetish gear. They proceed to start killing everyone, without any clear motive. It’s up to two grizzled Vietnam vets, wielding enough hardware to make the A-Team look like conscientious objectors, to shoot, smash, slash, crash, kick ass and high-five their way to saving the day.

It’s so bad it was described by one science fiction author – David Wingrove, in the Science Fiction Film Source Book – as “not so much suspension of disbelief as total suspension of all brain activity.” We’d love to know what Plato would make of it.
