For me it's a film called The Dragon Lives Again. Basically what happens is that Bruce Lee (played by Bruce Liang) dies and goes to Purgatory. He then uncovers a plot to overthrow the King of the underworld led by James Bond, Dracula, The Exorcist (who is for some reason French), The Godfather and Emmanuelle. So Bruce teams up with the One-Armed Swordsman, the Sundance Kid and Popeye in order to defeat them. Despite how rediculous the plot sounds its actually a really good film. Has anyone else come across it or anything as strange?

It's a toss between Visitor Q, which is also sick, but strangely watchable and Uzumaki, which my brother said outweirded (?) Naked Lunch. The entire film is shot through a green filter. I thought the colour had gone on my TV when I first saw it. The manga is even stranger

There are a bunch of oddball films made in places like Turkey and the Philippines that shamelessly rip off famous Western movies like Star Wars and Superman. The most famous is probably Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam (literally The Man Who Saves the World, but better known in the West as Turkish Star Wars). The musical soundtrack is mostly lifted straight from Raiders of the Lost Ark. The space battles are mostly appropriated from Star Wars. It's godawfully inept, but it probably filled a local need, and its hamfisted execution provides enormous amusement today, if nothing else. Brazil also made a ripoff version of Star Wars, though I haven't seen that.
There's also Turist Ömer Uzay Yolunda (literally Omar the Tourist in Star Trek, or Turkish Star Trek in the West).
Also: 1987's Indian Superman (aka Hindu Superman). This one actually preserves the general plotline of Superman, but just puts it into an Indian setting.

My vote's also for Uzumaki. From start to finish, it's like a Dali painting given life, that's how weird it was to me. And yet it wasn't a fraction as strange as the manga it was adapted from. Junji Ito, creator of Uzumaki also birthed Tomie which also wound up being a mondo strange flick. That guy sure has one hell of a messed up imagination!

I've seen so many movies. But, one of the strangest ones is this.

The Dreamers, by Bernardo Bertolucci.

This film is probably not the strangest I've seen, but definatley on of the most notable. It's called Lost Highway by David Lynch. It is about a guy who murders his wife with the help of this demon-like hitman thing. While in prison he transforms into someone else and meet the reincarnated version of his old wife. After beeing persued by the mob, the demon and porn artists he turns back into his old self and goes back in time to the house where his original wife was murdered. (The whole movie is way more complicated than that) but you should definatley watch it, when you do come see me about it
