Or movies that should be flops because of storyline, production quality etc but that turn out to be hits? Kanti Shah's "Gunda" is the canonical example of the "so bad that it is just f*ing awesome" variety of movie when you look at Indian cinema. Similarly, Zero Wing, the game known for gems like "someone set us up the bomb", "All your base are belong to us" etc.
