There are so many but one comes to mind: "Flesh Gordon".
It was a porn parody where the acting was stiffer than the male performers. Released around 1973 it would barely merit a "Hard R" rating now but, at the time was almost shocking to all but people such as my friends and myself. Saw it in a theater - the management didn't realize the nature of the content.
No expense was spared for this flick, the costuming, and sets are past top-notch on a porn budget. The special effects were done by none other than Ray Harrihausen himself (the stop-motion animator who did "King Kong", "Mighty Joe Young", all the old "Sinbad" flicks, and Odyssey-type movies).
There really isn't an erection in the whole thing but it is a howl. The writers went for every sophomoric sexual joke or reference that could be made.
This is truly a must see and defines clearly what Great Bad-Cinema really is. It is out on DVD and can probably be found at any of the sites that merchandise off-beat movies/T-shirts, etc.
