Worst Movie Ever Made?

[Rob Babcock]

This should be fun! :D What's the worst movie ever made in all human history? The film so cringingly awful that your skin crawls and your blood runs cold? The film so bad you'd consider poking your eyes out vs being forced to watch?

My pick: Natural Born Killers. The stinker by which all others are judged. When I make a list of the "Bottom Ten" worst, I really have to make it 11 as I've set NBK as "winner" of the "Lifetime Acheivement For Suck Award." Nothing I've seen is so irredeemably awful as that one, so it's only fair I consider it as it's own catagory, a category of one.

What are some other choices for the Worst of the Worst?

[Leprkon]

Dangerous Liaisons- let's see, I'm gonna bang Michelle Pfieffer so I can get Glenn Close but along the way I fell for Michelle Pfieffer... NOBODY saw THAT coming... :rolleyes: the ultimate date punishes you movie.

[Rob Babcock]

Doesn't Uma get topless in that one, though? I'd have a hard time calling any flick with Uma's rack the "worst" of all time! Although I gotta admit I haven't seen the movie (although I do own it...Never got around to watching it. :o ).

[Leprkon]

I must have been out in that VERY long line to get some popcorn when that scene came on... the only time I'd ever seen a longer line was when I went back for a coke... :p

[WmAx]

Don't all Steven Segal movies qualify automaticly?

But seriously....

I think that Boxing Helena is a contendor. It's boring, makes no real since and then at the end it manages to do the only thing that could possibly make it worse: have the entire movie be a suprise dream sequence. Pleasantville might have been even worse....... it's a tough call. It's sort of like arguing if bull crap or horse feces is better to fall in face first.

[Rob Babcock]

Okay, how can you call a movie with Sherlyn Fenn getting naked the worst...er, do you guys see a trend, here? :D I have to agree that most of the Seagal ones are stinkers, but I found "Under Seige" to be entertaining. And no, not just the part where Erica Eleniac jumped out of the cake! :p

Ah, I have that cake scene etched into my memory. IMO, she has an excellent *rack*.

The Segal line was a joke. I actually watch nearly every Segal movie that is released. Bad, but in a way that I like. If you've seen Belly of The Beast, you can't but help to laugh as Segal reacts to the news of his daughter being kidnapped by terrorists with the same calm and constipated face as every other scene in every movie he's made. I bet if he could manage ANY other face/expression, that he would get a very lucrative contract with EX-LAX. Imagine the potential of getting rid of constipation that has lasted a few decades? :) If you insist on wathing the entire movie you can be assured you will be repullsed(it's just creepy to see this seniour citizen getting it on with a 20 year old) as he has a sexual encounter with a young beautiful Asian girl.

-Chris

[Leprkon]

I'd go with Rob on this one. Under Siege was a really good movie, but Segal had alot of real professional help on this one (including Tommy Lee Jones, a sober Gary Busey, Colm Meaney of STNG fame, Andy Romano, old sci-fi standard Nick Mancuso, the highly underrated latino Raymond Cruz, Bernie Casey, and the surprisingly believable Miss E)

In most of his other movies, his "help" came from talent of the caliber of Kelly LeBrock, best known (if memory serves)for her role in "Weird Science".. other than visuals, there's not much to take your mind off Segal's bad acting... even Keenan Ivory Wayans couldn't cover for him in the Glimmer Man

[Duffinator]

I LOVE Nicole Kidman. But Practical Magic, with Sandra Bullock, was horrible. I did like Under Siege and the cake scene is quite edible.

[Leprkon]

ya gotta admit, Erica looks good coming AND going.. if you saw her pull herself out of the hole in Chasers.. it just makes ya wanna scream "damn it's good to be a guy" :D

[Rob Babcock]

Hmmm...I liked "Glimmer Man." I'll have to admit as a younger guy I liked Seagal's movies, but when I finally got them on DVD I was shocked by how bad most of them were. Including the ones I liked. But Steven musta been doin' something right- he was actually married to LeBrock back then! :eek:

Actually, he manages to play a lot of very different types of characters. For example, sometimes he's an ex-CIA guy who's family is killed. Other times he's an ex-special forces operatives who's family is killed. Still other times, he's an ex-DEA agent who's family is only assaulted! Now THAT is range as an actor! :D

Anyhow, Under Seige, Under Seige 2, Glimmer Man & the first one he did with DFX (or GFX, or DTS- whatever the hell that rapper dude is called) were all watchable. The Foreigner, though, was almost Kafkaesque in its absurdity, and almost all of his films of the last decade were just as bad.

I liked Executive Decision fairly well, too, although it's hard to call that a Seagal movie since he's only in the first 40 minutes. Kurt Russell, Oliver Platt & John Leguizamo really make that one.

Hey, I like a good bad movie as much as the next guy! :D

how can it be a BAD movie if Segal DIES ? and then gets flung away in the jet wash ? :D

[Rob Babcock]

BTW, Leprkon, wouldn't you have to say Leprechaun, with Jennifer Aniston, was also one of the worst films of all time? ;) :p Bet she wishes she could take that one back!

[WmAx]

Hey now! I liked all of the Leprechaun movies, even Leprechaun In Space. Egads!

-Chris

[Leprkon]

Technically no. Since it (Leprechaun) is part of a seemingly endless series, its actual position in the list is still in a state of flux... every time they make a new one, the first one moves up the list from worst.. I would really have to say that what I saw of Leprechaun in Space was far worse than just Leprechaun (and may have ended the career of Debbie Dunning, my all-time favorite tool girl) and the badness possibilities of Leprechaun in the Hood just boggle my mind...

[Rob Babcock]

How about a Leprechaun/Basket Case double feature? :eek: I guess if you wanna list stuff like Plan 9 From Outer Space, Mania Cop, etc etc there's some that are maybe 65% as bad as NBK. ;)

[WmAx]

What's with all of this Leprechaun 'hating'? Hehe. They already have a Leprechaun *Back* In the Hood sequel..... and I"ll rent the next one too....

But I've always enjoyed a corny movie. I liked the Trancers movies too(well, not after 3; even I have standards). But I'm a guy that watched Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfold....three times.

-Chris

[Leprkon]

I'd add Pumpkinhead and Pumpkinhead 2 Blood Wings to make about eight hours of wasted celluloid....

[Francious70]

How 'bout Tremors 3. That was a bad flick.

Paul

[Rob Babcock]

If you enjoyed screen legend Tim Thomerson's groundbreaking work in the Trancers series, you really have to check out Dollman! ARGHHH! The painful repressed memories are all starting to flood back- the anguish of every crappy movie I've ever seen! :eek:

I've missed Dollman. I'll have to check that out... :)

Have you seen Dark Angel: The Ascent(1994)? A very fun B movie even though it's technically bad.

-Chris

[jaxvon]

Well, actually I saw both of these on Skinemax at like, 4 in the morning. I'm not sure if they can even qualify as movies, as they're both trashy soft-core porn that tries to have a plot:

'Teenage Caveman'

'Emmanuel in Rio'


Seriously. They represent the WORST things I've ever seen filmed. Period.

[Shinerman]

What about that movie called "Toys" with Robin Williams and L.L. Cool J.
That was horrible. About half the theater got up and left.


I also thought "Open Water" earlier this year was pretty bad. Possibly the most boring movie I have ever watched. They could have widdled it down from it's hour and fifteen minutes to about 10 minutes and covered everything that needed to be covered. You got left in the "Open Water", the sharks got your husband and you gave yourself to the sharks. See I summed it up in 1 sentence.

In terms of Segal, Van Damme or whoever, I can't really call any of them the worst. Everyone knows what to expect going in. Bad acting and action. I don't think there going for any Oscars. It's the movies that try to truly be good that end up sucking that really should be dubbed the worst of all time.

Shinerman.

[Clint DeBoer]

Black Mask with Jet Li. Only time I ever heckled out loud in a theater.

Also - that Segal movie where he goes after the "Evil" environmental company in Alaska who's only crime was some kind of pollution and kills like 25 guards who just work there and are doing their jobs.

Congratulations - you saved some carribou and killed like 25 dads who were hoping to pick up a paycheck that Friday (ok, they carried machine guns, but so what).

[Tom Andry]

The Medallion, with Jackie Chan. Even with that hot chick from Meet Joe Black, that movie blew.

[Rob Babcock]

Hmmm...I liked Black Mask! But you're right, it's not "good" in any conventional way. Still, crappy though On Deadly Ground undeniably was, I feel two points must be made: 1) Those guys weren't "innocent dads" but paid goons packin' guns. And 2) How many caribou did he save? Didn't he blow up an oil rig, probably pumping thousands/millions of gallons of oil all over hell? Not to mention the immense clould of fumes & smoke! Best part- at the end, he seems to have been hailed as a here for it all! :eek:

[markw]

Mel Gibson's MacBeth (or Hamlet). Whatever... I fel lasleep within 10 minutes.

Oh, Tank Girl is right "up" there too.

[Rob Babcock]

Awright, now that's over the line! :p You must just dislike Shakespeare in general if you didn't like that one. I'd rate Kenneth Brannagh's film slightly higher than Gibson's, but I give Mel the nod for his portrayal of Hamlet himself. Nobody does crazy like Mel Gibson! To me, Brannagh's "Hamlet" was a little too canny, too sly and calculated; a bit too much like a person feigning maddness, which to me is inconsistent with the way the story ends. But that's just me.

[Clint DeBoer]

That Lethal Weapon series was the worst... JUST KIDDING!

[Rob Babcock]

Hey, if you say Lethal Weapon 4 I'd agree you have a point! What's next for the series? In Lethal 14 will Riggs & Mertaug have to battle prescription drug thieves in their nursing home? :p

[race4aliving]

Plan 9 from outer space, so bad it's a classic.

[artiechoke]

My two picks for worst of the worst would be: #1) "The Godson" with the late great Rodney Dangerfield and Dom DeLuise and #2) "Reborn from Hell: Samurai Armageddon." My husband says Reborn from Hell would be number one worst if it wasn't for the nekked virgins! :o

[jeffsg4mac]

How about flowers in the attic, that has to be one of the dumbest movies ever put on film.

[outsider]

I can't pick just one....there are so many bad movies. I usually forget them as soon as they are over....no need to waste memory space, but here are some that still stand out my mind:

Gone Fishin'
Armageddon
Star Wars (all except the original version of the original trilogy)
Return of the King
Mallrats
Ocean's 11 (both versions)


I know there have been worse, but I can't remember them right now.

[gregz]

In college, on a particularly stupid day, we decided we'd seen and heckled plenty of awful movies. So why not rent the most famous flop of all time? Yeah, that's the ticket! We'll rent a bad movie on purpose just for the fun of heckling it!

....Can anybody guess which famous flop I'm talking about? Lots of money spent on producing it, real name actors....

Well it was so bad, not only couldn't we heckle it, but we couldn't take more than 1/2 hour of it before turning it off and staring at the blank screen with slack jaws and a bad movie hangover.

The movie was Ishtar. It was and still is the worst movie ever made.

[Duffinator]

....Can anybody guess which famous flop I'm talking about? Lots of money spent on producing it, real name actors....

I thought you were going to say Waterworld with Kevin Costner! While not a great movie I enjoyed it. Ishtar stunk.

[gregz]

UGGH!!! :eek: If not in actual stink content, then by stink multiplied by duration, both Kostner's Waterworld and Postman sure gave Ishtar a run for its money! Focus, Kevin, focus!

[Clint DeBoer]

Ocean's 11 (both versions)The original was horrendous - only good for those people who would even pay to see those guys together picking their noses. Can you believe the plot in the original to steal the money was basically "Hey, we'll go to the breaker panel and switch power from the casino doors to the alarm system so that when the alarm goes off the doors will open and we'll take everythng... Genius!" My almost-two-year-old could have come up with a more believable plan.

actually, I've never seen the movie completely. I've only seen bits and pieces....it's so bad I can't watch for more than a few minutes at a time.

[outsider]

I thought of some more last night:

Batman and Robin
Once Upon a Time in Mexico
The World is Not Enough

[Spottedfeather]

In no particular order

Freddy Got Fingered......couldn't even make it through ten minutes of this garbage. Never liked Tom Green's show, either. Not funny at all.

Sixth Sense......Aside from Die Hard, can you name any GOOD Bruce Willis movie ? (Okay, The Kid was funny....but that was only because it had that little kid in it)

Lemony Snicket....I know that this "movie" isn't even out yet but I can't help it. You can just tell that this is going to be a bomb merely by watching the ads. It's a total Harry Potter rip-off. (kid getting orphaned and sent to a relative that hates him. A bunch of weird stuff happens. Sound familiar ?)

Kangaroo Jack....a talking Kangaroo. 'nuff said.

Glitter....Mariah Carey. Can't stand her. Can't act....OR sing worth crap.

The Others......How can any "film" with Nicole Kidman in it be considered good ? You couldn't pay me a million dollars to even touch her. She needs to gain some weight.

Hoosiers......Back in school, they'd make us watch this crap whenever the weather was horrible and we couldn't go outside. Boring as all get out.

Mothman Prophecies....made no sense whatsoever.

Overdrawn At The Memory Bank (MST3K version)......a low rent, PBS Matrix-like trash-fest.

Titanic....might've been worth watching if it didn't have Leonardo Di-craprio and that dumb Celine Dijon song in it.

Spiderman....no real comic book fan would waste their time with that s***. It has nothing to do with the real Spiderman (in terms of the comic.) for the following reasons.

1. Spiderman DOES NOT have organic webshooters that shoot the webs from his arms. This doesn't happen until the comic book, Spiderman 2099. And then it was the result of a industrial, scientific mutatic accident.

2. The Green Goblin is not supposed to be entirely green. His face, arms, and legs are. The rest of him is supposed to be a floppy purple hat, purple gloves, purple boots, and a purple tunic.

Catwoman....never seen it but it has Hallie Berry in it. How could it possibly get worse ?

Daredevil....his suit was crap. Jennifer Gardner is crap (can't pull off a superhero role AT ALL.) Kingpin was white in the comics, so why did they make him black in the movie. (I've liked Michael Clark Duncan in most of his other roles, and don't have anything against his colour, but if a character is one colour in the comic book/source material, then that's the colour they should be in the movie. Would you make a Jesus movie with a midget in it ? No. Or a black guy ? No.

That's about it for now.

[outsider]

Lemony Snicket....I know that this "movie" isn't even out yet but I can't help it. You can just tell that this is going to be a bomb merely by watching the ads. It's a total Harry Potter rip-off. (kid getting orphaned and sent to a relative that hates him. A bunch of weird stuff happens. Sound familiar ?)


your statement makes me wonder if you actually know anything at all about either film....or the books they are based on.
While I have never read either series, I know a few people who have.
The basics of each:

Harry Potter is a wizard, or rather, studying to become one.

The kids in Lemony Snicket are just kids who get stuck in a "series of unfortunate events".

So, to say that either one is a total rip-off of the other is completely false.

As for whether or not the movie will be any good, who knows? But what is the point in criticizing before it is even released?

[djoxygen]

Alright, there were a lot of movies you guys tossed out that you should have expected to be bad going in, like the Seagal stuff, but the all time insufferable worst movie experience I've ever had that shouldn't have been...

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

I'm usually pretty good with the art-flick stuff, but "Unbearable" should be the warning for anyone thinking of giving this one a shot. It doesn't matter who gets naked, or who invades Chechoslovakia, it's just not worth it.

[Mudcat]

It doesn't matter who gets naked, ......

What are you talking about? You must be que.. opps, probably can't say that. ;)

The only reason guys go to movies is because there is wicked action, or some well known hahumm "actress" is prancing around in her birthday suit. :D

Why do you think the movie "The Piano" was a big hit back in '93? Forget symbolism, forget good script, forget the pint size oscar weiner, it was Because Holly Hunter got naked

[Duffinator]

It doesn't matter who gets naked, or who invades Chechoslovakia, it's just not worth it.I'm with Mudcat on this. Let's see, Rosie O'Donnell or Kate Beckinsale.......

[Rob Babcock]

Hell, I'd have went to the Piano if I knew Holly Hunter got neckid! :D Anyway, I sorta liked The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Not sure if I'd still like it nowadays, though.

[jaguars_fan]

What's that smell?!? Someone step in something?

My God there are some seriously smelly titles in this post! One of the absolute biggest wastes of film has to be (IMHO) Robot Jox with Gary Graham and Anne-Marie Johnson! :eek:

[djoxygen]

The Others......How can any "film" with Nicole Kidman in it be considered good ? You couldn't pay me a million dollars to even touch her. She needs to gain some weight.



So Nicole Kidman doesn't do anything for you... what does that have to do with her acting? It obvious that you haven't seen "The Others" as it's not that bad. Nowhere near the same league as many of the others on your list. In fact, Nicole was quite good. And I don't particluarly like her either.

As for Lemony Snicket, it's great that you can see into the future and trash another movie you haven't seen. That must make life so much easier for you. Do you know what the winning lotto numbers for tomorrow are?

And here's another to add to the list. "Better off Dead". What a waste of time that one was. Or how about "Harley Davidson and the Marleboro Man"?

[jrohland]

I didn't see anyone mention the two Bond flicks with Timothy Dalton as 007. They truely sucked!

But, the worst ever--hands down, no contest--is: Billy Jack. Which one you ask? Why ALL of them of course.

jrohland

[jordanny]

How about "Plan 9 from Outer Space"? Cardboard tombstones, hubcap flying saucers on strings... it really was the worst. Also, my daughter made me sit and watch "Santa Conquers the Martians"!?! Torture. Absolute TORTURE!!! :(

[Krafty1]

The ABSOLUTE WORST movie (meaning nothing comes remotely close) that I have ever wasted the precious minute of my life on is Eraserhead (not the Schwarzenneger move Eraser). What the &*#$ was this movie about?!

Krafty1

[sjdgpt]

just about every sequel is deserving of being on this list.

Sure, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, and others have good sequels (sometimes as good as the original), but most sequels leave a lot to be desired.

Some of my all time favorite sequel bombs......

Smokey and the Bandit.
Jaws


And then there are the adapted from TV movies.......

Lost in Space

[jaguars_fan]

Well, since we have introduced the sequels, the we can't dismiss the series like Iron Eagle! What a wretched series of movies this was!

Here's a list of other smelly movies compiled on Internet Movie Database...

http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom (http://)

[Leprkon]

just about every sequel is deserving of being on this list.

Lost in Space

The Alien series has both good "Aliens" (one of the more awesome movies ever made and bad "Alien3" (one of the more worse-some movies ever made) and the same could be said for the Terminator line...

Lost in Space.. ugggh what a dog... it sure killed Matt LeBlanc's big-screen career !!

[Zarg]

I'm with Mudcat on this. Let's see, Rosie O'Donnell or Kate Beckinsale.......

What was that movie where Rosie and Dan Ackroyd were undercover cops and they went to that "fantasy" island where they played domination games? That one was so bad my mind is blanking on the name.....

I also want to nominate:

- Sly Stallone and Bridgette Neilson in "Cobra". I love the scene where Sly, wearing black gloves, uses scissors to cut some cold pizza. But can a big-budget, big-name, move be any stupider?

- Sly Stallone again, starring with Rob Schneider in "Judge Dredd". "I am the Law!"

- And for that matter, any movie that stars Rob Schneider as the lead. "Deuce Bigelow, Male Gigolo" and "Manimal" come to mind.

And there are any number of 70's disaster movies that belong on the list ... "Tidal Wave" starring Lorne Greene (yes, Adama) is on my personal list. See, there's this HUGE tidal wave (duh) that destroys the city of Tokyo. Everything's in ruins and fires start. One minor character looks at the devastation and the fires, and asks, "Where are the firemen?" :eek: Ouch! They're all dead, dude!

(And speaking of tsunamis, CNN is now reporting 80,000 dead in Indonesia, Thailand and other Asian countries. What a tragedy.) :( :(

would that be Exit to Eden ? Didn't Dana Delany get naked in that... ut oh.. I'm starting to sound like Rob... :p

Diane Lane did a great job in Judge Dredd... not enough to save the movie, but she's always worth watching especially Streets of Fire and Murder at 1600

(didn't she get naked in Lady Beware...)

[Lithp]

courage under fire. I'm sorry I just can't take Meg Ryan seriously barking out combat orders.

Whatever movie that was with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. That role playing sex movie. Man that sucked.

[Rob Babcock]

How could anyone who purports to be a fan of fine cinema fail to see the genius of "Deuce Bigelow, Male Gigolo"? :eek: Man, that one's friggin' hilarious! :D

[Zarg]

Surely you jest! In any case, I really liked the skit the first time I saw it on SNL, when it was called "Fred Garvin: Male Prostitute" and Danny Ackroyd did it. After that, not so much.

How many SNL-based movies should be on a "worst" list? "Wayne's World" was actually pretty good, but what about the others? "Coneheads", "Superstar", "Night at the Roxbury" ... "Pat" :eek:

And then there are the movies that seem(ed) like SNL skits, but weren't. "Dude, Where's My Car" and "Freddy Got Fingered" (already mentioned in this thread) are two.

[sjdgpt]

How could anyone who purports to be a fan of fine cinema fail to see the genius of "Deuce Bigelow, Male Gigolo"? :eek: Man, that one's friggin' hilarious! :D

There is funny, and then there are poor movies, sometimes poor movies are funny.

It's like that Cobra movie from Sly. I watch it every time it is on, just to watch the reaction of the street thugs about Sly and his car, and then the pizza scene... then I channel flip to a real movie.

[Rob Babcock]

I guess my sense of humor runs to the twisted, but I laughed my arse off at the chick with tourettes, the fake leg gags, the Eurotrash gigolo who owned the house, the chick with narcolepsy, etc. And c'mon- "That's a big bi*ch!" :p Plus I just think Rob Shnieder is hilarious.

Despite the superficial similarity between the Akroyd sketch and Duece (both are male prostitutes), comparing them is like comparing Police Academy and Serpico. Yeah, both are cop movies, but that's about where it ends. ;)

[furrycute]

The astronauts wife. I can't believe I rented that one.

[Rob Babcock]

The astronauts wife. I can't believe I rented that one.

Yikes! :eek: I forgot that one. Ewww, such a stinker you gotta crack a window to get thru it! I dunno how they got uber-hottie Charlize Theron and Johnny Depp and still managed to make such a pile o' ****e. :confused:

[Vancouver]

Any movie with Hale Barry

[crashguy]

OPEN WATER sucked like a truck mounted sewer vac.

Best part about it is the 5 seconds of the blonde chicks rack. :eek:

Damn, now you have given me a reason to get the movie. Maybe you could burn me a copy of those important 5 seconds :D

[Rock&Roll Ninja]

Well since these are the WORST films, I think I'll add a few of my (least) favorite nominees (I'll skip most everything pre-1990 as they were all covered in the 14 seasons of Mystery Science Theater 3000).

House of the Dead: Never has a film so nauseatingly bad been unleashed on an unsuspecting public. Not only does the film lack any worthwhile story (and in a zombie shoot-em-up this isn't that bad of a problem), but even the filmmakers seemed unwilling to try. Some of the worse parts include *cameraman unable to keep acceptable distance from actors. Actors breathing fogs-up camera lens.*Zombies that jump 20' into the air easily explained by on-screen springboards (not even a shrub to cover them).*First zombies seen on-screen wearing the exact-same halloween costume zombie mask I keep on my front-porch scarecrow (It retails for $3.99).*Same zombie had red christmas-tree lights for eyes.* Torgo, from Manos:The Hands of Fate, makes a cameo as the boat Captains assistant.*Without bothering to try to explain the odds: everything on the island is an accomplished martial artist (even the zombies!).*Boat captain is a gun runner (luckily for everyone that has to kill zombies), Why would a gun runner have a career smuggling guns between an abandoned island and Portland, Oregon is anyones guess.*Coast Guard agent, while wandering around the island for no real reason, unloads an entire clip from her fully-automatic rifle into a crowd of people to kill a zombie before it even becomes violent (and thus nobody knew it was a dangerous zombie yet).*"Rave of the century" being held at spooky island. Concert promoters failed to check island for zombies, haunted houses, or even power lines before booking the DJ.*Asian girl in star-spangled jumpsuit does not get naked often enough.*Whenever someone dies, camera must spin around them five times.*For no appearent reason: film footage intercut with videogame footage at random intervals. And not even similar footage.* Two character (lets call them teen 1 and teen 2) just stop being in the film. They're there one shot...gone the next????*haunted house abandoned for 500 years remarkably well stocked with stuff.

Many bad one in the past 7 pages of thread; but has any one seen "Hero" this summer ? I was looking for a good action movie this summer went we went to the drive in, I saw the pub and taught " Hey that look petty good !" No were it said that it was in god damn "mandarin" to start with ! What the persentage of population in North America who can understand that stuff ? 0.01% ? 0.02% maybe ? so what bozo with 5 year university think that everybody else like passing reading those long text, that often you don't have the time to finish before the next line come up. + praticly no action for 2 hours, same damn 5 minutes, short and boring story, stretch to to fill the screen , and 3 times !!! Each of them different only with few different perspective from each caracter mind. And to put the cherry on top of it, the special effect are so unbelivable that they must be the joke in the movie industry ! Few time I almost wish that one of these sword or arrow pop out of the screen and split my head or stab my heart. Might be "me" ! Maybe my french canadian brain, or my "intellectual" level is not high enough; but I have more that 300 DVD at home and it's no way that this DVD will never be part of them.

I forgot to mention Torque.

If you've ever ridden, or even seen a motorcycle: this motorcycle movie wasn't meant to be seen by you. The filmmakers ability to ignore reality is mind-boggling.

[BMXTRIX]

I've gotta say Cape Fear.

Any movie that has an intelligent villian and really, really, REALLY stupid 'heroes' needs to go ahead and let the villian win and kill off the dumb farts. I can't stand what rave reviews it got... The reviewers probably thought the heroes of the story were actually intelligent and did great things instead of just being phenomenally lucky.

Spiderman I thought was incredible: An adaptation of any story does not need to follow that exact story and should take advantage of the opportunity to rewrite and make things better. Mechanical web shooters were always hella-gay and the movie captured almost everything that a comic fan could want.

But, some are OCD about it all I guess. I think it is like the movie Hook. Hook got horrible reviews. Yet, it definitely came across as a fantasy movie to me. Very kid friendly and kid oriented, with some extremely unplausable silly antics. Hello! Ever see Peter Pan to begin with??? I thought it was one of the better fantasy films and was enjoyable as long as you viewed it that way. Bleh.

[jmgillespie]

There's a new kid in town that really blows and his name is Napoleon Dynamite the biggest waste of my time ever. Sure there is a funny part or two but the movie altogether is boring and retarded the funniest parts of the movie are screw ups like at the start when Napoleon meets Pedro and Pedro is at half staff lol I don't think that was suppost to be there. A few others:

Riddick (first movie was okay but this didn't even go along with it)
Oceans 12 (Julia Roberts looked like **** and what the hell did they think that was funny her playing herself in the movie)
Men seeking women (Will Farrell's first movie I bought it before seeing it will never happen again)

Could name more and probably worse ones but I try to forget the bad ones.

[mcwilson]

This is an older (circa 1984) movie. It has Mel Gibson, Anthony Hopkins, Liam Neeson, Laurence Olivier, Daniel Day-Lewis. Based on the cast and a cheap price (under $10), I bought this dog and man did I get ripped! It's a PoS!

I don't know how you could come up with a bad movie with that cast, but somehow they did it!

On another note, anyone interested in buying a slightly used DVD? A star studded, epic tale of mutiny on the high seas. Let the bidding begin...

[JoeE SP9]

I have heard from the critics that Plan Nine From Outer Space and Attack Of The Killer Tomato's are about as bad as it gets. My personal pick for worst ever is Pooty Tang. This film is so bad it makes me wish Edison had never lived. :cool:

Sorry Pepe, I recently saw Hero and loved it. Some of us don't mind reading the sub-titles. A little practice with books and magazines will increase ones reading speed and comprehension. The special effects were no more unbelievable than Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Iron Monkey or Kill Bill. Adding an English or French translation doesn't change anything but what you hear. I can't remember seeing any Kung Fu movie that didn't have unbelievable special effects. Anyone who has any martial arts experience at all knows the moves and effects in virtually all Kung Fu movies are pure fantasy. Bruce Lee movies excepted. All in all it's not how many movies you have, it's what kind of movies they are that matters. :cool:

I would have to second the House of the Dead as the worst movie ever to make it out to theatres. I should have taken the hint when it made it to DVD about a month after its theatrical release. How did they get 8 hrs of suck into an 80 min. movie? :confused: To me this movie introduces the phrase pathetasuck into the vernacular.

:eek: The worst has to be "The Road to Wellville". only movies I ever walked out of...

[Bustakap]

Oh, come on, it is so readily apparent that there is only one movie even close to being considered the Worst Movie Ever (well, maybe 2. "Catwoman" comes to mind), and that movie is 'Manos' the Hands of Fate. I urge you all to rent, watch, study, and memorize this movie. You think you've seen bad, you think you've seen dud, you have seen nothing until you feast your eyes on the cinematic train-wreck that is 'Manos'. It's so bad that writer/director/producer/actor/fertilizer salesman Hal Warren denied it even existed until somebody unearthed it shortly before his death. It's so bad that it was heckled so relentlessly during it's local El Paso premier that most of the cast and crew snuck out of the darkened theater before the movie was even half-way through. It's so bad that you have to wonder if it's the driving reason three of the stars of the movie committed suicide within a year of completing the film. It's so bad that it will probably make you look at Gigli in a new light. It's so bad that it's not even good, it's just a lot worse. You must see 'Manos' before you can ever be allowed to invoke such titles as "Natural Born Killers" or "Last House on the Left". Trust me, true believer, you will not thank me for recommending this movie...

[Bustakap]

Torgo, from [b]Manos:The Hands of Fate, makes a cameo as the boat Captains assistant.

Wow, it really is a 'House of the Dead', seeing as John Reynolds (Torgo) killed himself in 1966. *is scared*. No, I jest :P, I've never seen HotD (not that I ever intend[ed] to) though, so I don't know in what capacity you were referring to Torgo's cameo. I'm guess now that you meant that he made a cameo in 'character' form (a different actor playing the character), I just thought it'd be weird for them to have a suddenly unexplained satyr in the movie (unless they explained him, which really is actually a bit weirder when I think about it). If you meant that it was indeed the man who played Torgo, than I'd have to say that you're probably mistaken/misinformed, unless they brought in an actual corpse for 'realism' :P.

(I apologize if any of that seemed 'harsh' or 'insulting' or anything, it was a joke and meant to be read with tongue firmly in cheek)

[ripsid]

Worste horror flick would be: I spit on your grave!
And although I loved the movie as a young spiked punk, except for the music: Suburbia was pretty bad
Napolean Enima was a worthless piece of time! It would have a funny part then 35 mins of bore!
Also, my wife had Staying Alive on and she's says check this out..it was like a car wreck! ...I need to go look at naked chicks, chew tobacco, drink old crow and wash the chick flickness of that movie off of me! I almost felt violated!
98% of stallones movies are unwatchable! Except for rambo 1, 2, Rocky 1 and 2... and Cobra was ok.

[Wifiguy]

Battlefield Earth - without a doubt the worst ever. Forrest Whitaker won't even list it on his resume. It's so bad it's almost worth watching just to ridicule it.

Let me make my case for this movie being the worst ever:

Aliens conquer the Earth in only 19 minutes. They spend 1000 years stripping it's resources, gold being the resource they want most. Yet they never look in Fort Knox!

After a 1000 years, Harrier fighter jets and their weapons left sitting around work perfectly.

After a 1000 years human slaves who barely know what fire is suddenly learn how to operate flight simulators, which also still work perfectly. After one session the caveman-like slaves learn how to fly the jets. Of course they can now completely out-fly the aliens ships.

One of the humans steals a gun from an alien and kills him, and when the aliens catch him they can't believe it. So what do they do? They hand the loaded gun back to him and let him kill another alien!

One of the humans finds the ruins of a library. Of course the 1000 year old books are still in perfect condition, and he somehow knows how to read them.

The whole movie is full of examples like these. How this movie didn't kill John Travolta's career for good I'll never know.

[mkossler]

It's simple, it didn't kill Travolta's career because it was based on a "novel" by L. Ron Hubbard of Scientology infamy, and Hollywood is literally riddled with Scientologists these days. Of course, that is a subject for another thread.

Regardless, I also consider Battlefield Earth the current holder of the Unbearable Stench in Cinema award. It narrowly wins over (under?) K-Pax. Ye gods, what was that? :mad:

[Peppy]

What about Airport 79...you know , the one with the Concorde ! I agree about Battlefield Earth being in the bottom of the barrel but at less Battlefield Earth had some good special effect

[Devastateu]

It's gotta be "The House of the Dead". Horrible Horrible movie!!!

[mkossler]

Not to distract from the subject at hand, but special effects cannot be considered as the sole (as it would be in the case of Battlefield Earth) basis of determination for a films' merit. Consider The Legend of Jeremiah Johnson: simply a classic in every respect, however, there is not much in the way of special effects unless you include trained grizzly bears. One may (regretably) contrast this with The Legend of Bagger Vance, which is odious in every respect, any special effects notwithstanding.

Cheers-

[HookedOnSound]

Nobody even mentioned David Caruso in Session 9....

I saw it on a rental DVD, it was so lame, it must have been one of those straight-to-rent movies... a Psycho Thriller with definitely with no thrill...it's about the past of some abandoned Mental Hospital but the sub-plots were more detailed than the actual storyline...

I agree with a lot of the posts, I had forgotten how many horrible movies have been made and picking a worst ever movie simply doesn't exist because just when you have found the worst one, guess what? another 'worst' just showed up. Part of the problem is that Hollywood doesn't have an original bone in its body, it's all the same regurgitated stuff over and over again.

If you wait 5 more minutes I'm sure another bad movie is about to be released very soon....lol :)

I guess it's par for the course, if you want to see some good movies you have to risk seeing some bad ones...

That why I rent more than I go to the movie theater - My DVD player has an Eject button...

Good Luck

[Peppy]

Few brain , one question and 10 page later of thread and we still discover old and new in the category of "Worst movie ever made"; some one should send this list of thread to hollywood. Maybe it would help minimise the number of bad one who make it on the market ! :p Because I don't think that we are done scratching the surface yet :(

[20to20K]

I've seen bad movies...but many, like "Plan 9 from Outer Space" were meant to be bad. Others...like Aliens 3 and Batman and Robin were big budget sequels that flopped which is not too surprising.

When I think of a bad movie, I usually think of movies that are highly regarded by many, make a ton a "best of..." lists and I leave the theatre
thinking "WTF", did I just miss something? The two that I recall best fit that category were "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "The English Patient".

Every review I read raved about these flicks and I usually like well reviewed movies but I found both of these movies boring as hell. I actually walked out of the English Patient. It's not the genre either. I love obscure foreign films with subtitles(City of God, Perros de Amores, Man Bites Dog), I love epics (Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Zhivago, Giant). But I couldn't get into either of these flicks.

Another movie I saw recently that disappointed me based on great reviews was "Sideways". Now that certainly wasn't a bad movie...in fact I'd say it was OK...but based on the reviews I read (and the fact it was nominated for Best Picture) I was expecting more than just a slightly better than average
buddy/road movie. I saw it as kind of a thinking mans "Dumb and Dumber".

Oh well...I guess that's why you always have to see for yourself and you can't trust reviewers! There have been movies that been panned horribly by critics (and friends of mine) that I've really enjoyed. "Artificial Intelligence" and "Magnolia" come to mind.

[rschleicher]

Can anyone recall the name of the movie that had Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase in it, and the plot basically revolves around a sort of haunted house that this couple gets trapped in? It's incredibly gross, and totally unfunny, except for being funny for being so bad. It shows up regularly on lists of worst movies of all time. When you first see this movie, your mouth is hanging open the entire time you're watching, at the sheer awfulness of it.

I can't believe this. I saw this thread listed and came here just so I could mention that stupid movie. I agree, it is THE WORST! It had Demi Moore too, right?

IMO, just about anything Chevy Chase does these days is bound to make the list.

[Slider867]

how can you say that? I can see were you would say it but that movie has it special moments and not enough were you could say that.

Volcano High (Mtv cut)
Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation

[Shadow_Ferret]

Kangaroo Jack....a talking Kangaroo. 'nuff said.
Well, actually, if you saw the movie then you'd know that the kangaroo does NOT talk except when one of the main characters is knocked out and DREAMS that part. As adult-fare, yes it's a bad movie, my kids loved it though and I think they were it's intended audience.

No one mentioned "Santa Claus Vs. the Martians."

"Genghis Khan" with John Wayne as the Mongol. hehe, I just laugh thinking about it.

We just had a bad movie weekend. We rented "Dodgeball," "Anchorman," and "Starsky and Hutch." I'm gonna say that anything with Will Farrell or Ben Stiller automatically qualifies as bad.

[Shadow_Ferret]

Oh, I forgot, we also watched "Up a Creek." Just my week for bad movies, I guess. :eek:

What about "Catwoman" every one I know who mentions that movie said that's a bad and horrible to watch ? I didnt see it but I bought it as previous view DVD at Blockbuster for $5 ...same price to rent it just incase it worth it to see Halley in that Catwomen suit!

A couple of comments from the previous pages.

A canadian (not the beer) was complaining about subtitles in the movie Hero. Well don't all movies in canada have subtitles? One of those special Quebec laws about their being special and have to have french in everything canada? Hell, I spent the better part on the late 80's working in St John NB (definitely beats out Perth Amboy NJ as the armpit of the universe) building frigates for the canadian version of a navy. Everything was in french (even my girlfriend and the salad dressing - never heard of ranch up there) with english subtitles - even the road signs.

I live in Northern Virginia now. This is where John Wayne Bobbit came from. After that well covered little event, there was a one month waiting list for "I Spit On Your Grave". Not a good movie, but when both a Johnson (outboard motor) is used to puree Mr. Happy (pun intended by the director I'm sure), and a ginsu is used to slice Mr. Happy off, every man feels pain and covers up, and rushes to see it.

[Logman]

Dogville with nicole kidman. Wife and I fell asleep watching it (and we weren't even tired, we were watching it during the day.) Never bothered to finish watching it.

[Peppy]

Hey Mudcat, DVD in Canada are the same that the US ! They are both Region 1 DVD man. No subtitle onless you pick the option in the menu. The only difference is in some case , they put the french verion of the DVD cover on the back of the english one. Does all DVD in Californial are in Spanish subtitle only ? I don't think so !

[Shadow_Ferret]

I remember a movie, came out when all the water space alien movies were around, like Leviathon and Sphere, can't recall this one's name, but it was extremely cheesey, awful looking aliens, and it starred one of the last blondes from 3's Company, the one who was a nurse. Just painful to watch.

[Mudcat]

Hey Mudcat, DVD in Canada are the same that the US ! They are both Region 1 DVD man. No subtitle onless you pick the option in the menu.

The person complaining was complainaing about a movie in a theater, not a DVD. Never bought a DVD in Canada. Besides, he was complaining about the movie being in Mandarin and subtitled in English. I was pointing out that I thought (via my past experience) that all movies (in theaters) in Canada were subtitled and he should be use to that aspect of life in the great white north.

The only difference is in some case , they put the french verion of the DVD cover on the back of the english one.

I rest my case.



Does all DVD in Californial are in Spanish subtitle only ? I don't think so !

They might, I'll ask my brother, he lives there.


BTW grammer in Canada is the same as grammer in the youass.

[Takeereasy]

Mudcat, the part of Canada you were in is very French. About half of New Brunswick and almost all of Quebec have a French speaking majority. Quebec is the worst though. They have actually made it illegal to post the name of a business in English unless the French Lettering is twice the size or some dumb crap like that. It doesn't matter that the vast majority of the country english only. Oh yeah, and all of the road signs in Quebec are french only. Imagine driving in LA and all of the signs are in Spanish. It is a real pain in the butt. We had friends from the States trying to meet us in Montreal, but they couldn't find out how to get downtown because no signs are in English. Centerville is the sign for downtown in Quebec.
I was born in the US so sadly for me I missed the first few years of French indoctrination the kids here have to go through. Don't get me wrong, Quebec rocks, no one can party like like those guys. The drinking age is 18 for gods sake.
Also if you notice us Canucks using the letter U in a lot of our words and you think we're not spelling correctly it's because that's how it's spelled up here. I try to drop the extra U but sometimes it slips past.


What the heck was my point again.... Oh yeah, we don't have subtitles on our movies up here unless we turn them on in the DVD menu. It is the law that French subtitles have to be available on the DVDs though. They do run french titles at movie theaters in Quebec, or even worse they dub the voices. At least they did when I last went to a movie there, but that was about 9 years ago.

[JohnA]

[QUOTE=Mudcat] A canadian (not the beer) was complaining about subtitles in the movie Hero.[QUOTE]

If I'm not mistaken, (correct me if I'm wrong) the theater release of Hero was only in Mandarin as the Audio (the way it should be!! :D ) The English dub sucked (my $.02) But I prefer to watch import movies in their original language. I tried watching Run Lola Run in English...and it made my ears bleed. The German was much better!

[nelson57]

Want to see a really bad movie? Watch " Alone In The Dark"

[Rock&Roll Ninja]

I actually just watched Alone in the Dark. And truthfully, it is far better that Boll's last film House of the Dead. Especially if you use my 5-step grade system.

1. Total crap
2. Bad
3. Average
4. Good
5. Excellant.

Most movies fall in the 2-5/'Bad through Good' range. Catwoman was all-round bad (2), In Good Company was average (3), and Interview with the Vampire was good (4). The movie-making extremes "Awesome & Awful" god beyond the call of mearly bad or good filmmaking. Excellant movies are technically flawless, impressively acted, original, though provoking. A Total crap movie on the other hand is made with improper or poor techniques, have unskilled acting, are usually plageristic of someone elses work, and generally make the viewer angry (that the film is so bad).

But rarity is the key. If every movie is total crap or awesome, then total crap and awesomeness must be changed. Because there must always be a film "elite", the bar must be raised/lowered accordingly. (This is how Freddy Got Fingered doesn't make the list).

House of the Dead remains my personal criteria for Godawful movie and its crimes against film are many:

*Film intercut with videogame footage. At first its used as a change-over device, but by halfway through the film it seems to be inserted randomly (including in the middle of shots and interupting dialogue).
*Cameraman unable to keep distance from the actors. Their breathing fogs the lens on a few occassions.
*Bizarre "Student Art Film" moment: Camera spins around certain characters who die, and when certain characters find guns.

There are several more reasons, but thats a subject for another thread. To sum-up my point: When compared to HOTD, AITD is merely a bad movie.

[Mudcat]

Also if you notice us Canucks using the letter U in a lot of our words and you think we're not spelling correctly it's because that's how it's spelled up here. I try to drop the extra U but sometimes it slips past.

I thought it was "eh" at the end of each and every sentence/phrase/word.


I tried watching Run Lola Run in English...and it made my ears bleed. The German was much better.

concurr, although I didn't listen much, I was too busy watching Lola (Janovich or whatever her name is) and her bright red hair. Yup, that's what I was seeing.

I actually couldn't wait to get online and slam Alone in the Dark, but Ninja is right, House of the dead still wins the sucks the big one award for bad. I however am going to start a new thread inspired by Alone in the Dark. I would also like to propose an alterative title "Alone in the Theater".

[Mudcat]

I would also like to propose an alterative title "Alone in the Theater".

Alone like Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman), or really alone as in the only living person?

[Takeereasy]

You'd have to be in the first category in order justify still being in the theater when the end credits roled.

I love movies. I love cheesy movies. I really love Cheesy horror movies, but what I would love most of all is to get just one kick at the nuts of the guy who greenlighted this piece of garbage.

[Rock&Roll Ninja]

Even if you had no sense of humor and took The Lost Skeleton of Cadavera seriosuly, AITD is a bad movie.

[nelson57]

I think House of The Dead was what it intended to be, a movie that made fun of itself based on the video game, it was just for fun, whereas Alone in The Dark seemed to try to pass itself as a legitimate sci-fi-horror-action flick, and was just downright bad. I was so disappointed in Christian Slater and Stephen Dorff both of whom I though were pretty decent actors for even accepting those roles.

I couldn't help thinking these guys must really be desparate, or times must be really hard for if they had to stoop to a project like this. Was this the worst ever made I don't know, but it sure ranks as one of the worst I've ever seen. I'd rather watch "They" again,which was pretty bad itself than to sit through this again. I didn't even log it in to my DVD Profile, I would be to ashamed.

[Peppy]

I love cheesy Horror movie, it's just like to see a comedy, it's just fun, as long to the movie do take itself seriously. There is 2 more to put in the "Bad List " Legaly Blonde 1 & 2 ! Must been produce, finance and wrriten by a Blonde ! Just kidding !

Hey if you take all the money it cost to produce these class "F" movie I bet the could made few great one. Hard to belive that the "Bad" list would be that long !!!

[basementtheater]

Did we all forget about Deep Blue Sea? The special effects in that movie were absolutly terrible. It made jaws's (a movie made 20 or so years earlier) special effects look spectacular. Ha Ha!!! Fun post.

[Earfull]

"I love Huckabees". A vomitous mass if I ever saw one.

[Hans]

When i think bad I think:

Fair Game: Cindy Crawford, and one of the equally no good Baldwins. (yeah, yeah i know we see her topless, but the movie just plain sucks.)

Blair Witch project 2 Yawn. I can't believe they made a sequel to the first one (who was not bad a t all, IMO)

The Crow 2: City of angels Such a deception after the excellent, excellent first movie....

just my two cents :)

Cheers!

[Shadow_Ferret]

I just rented Blood Trail. Awful. Must not even had a Continuity Editor. Scenes kept changing from day to night willy-nilly. I should have known I was in trouble when the opening credits were playing they had an "Native American" doing what essentially was a Japanese Kabuki-like dance.

[Taifun]

I'm suprised not to see Van Helsing on the list! Actually, when my family and friends watched this, I did commentary with "What movie was this stolen from" which actually made the film entertaining!

-G

[JiveMiguel]

Ok, based on the IMDB list of the 100 worst movies, the worst movie ever made was 'Manos, the hands of fate'. I've actually seen this movie a few times when it was screened on Mystery Science Theatre 3000. I love those ribald robots!

Here's the IMDB worst 100 list:
http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom

Also, since this thread started went on a tangent about beautiful actresses, I've really acquired something for Carrie-Anne Moss from the Matrix series. Those are great movies anyway (especially with a great sound system), and she's just so hot in that tight leather and all that kicking and jumping and flying and shooting and... ok, I'll stop :)

[Shadow_Ferret]

I loved that movie! Even own the collector's set that comes with Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Werewolf.

Any movie with kate Beckinsale in it cant' be listed in the "worst" category.

[dm_4u]

I'm sorry for all you Oscar lovers...but Chariots of Fire sucked big time...

[Shadow_Ferret]

Not so much that it sucked. It was just boring as hell. With awful music.

[dillweed]

Blair Witch project 2 Yawn. I can't believe they made a sequel to the first one (who was not bad a t all, IMO) H.[/QUOTE]

Oh yes. Beyond bad. I can't believe I actually sat through that crap.

[DAMAC]

You have the add THE BEACH with Leo Dicaprio in it. I took my wife to see it when we were dating. The worst part is how it starts out as an average crappy movie, so you stay in the theatre for 30-40 minutes. Then, it does totally retarded (you actually see Leo imagining himself in a video games as he goes a little insane).

I also hated DREAMCATCHER. I ready the book (it was great). And that made the movie even worse.

[Buckeyefan 1]

Team America has got to be up there. My wife walked out of the room. I fell asleep. The political message got lost with the terrible marionettes trying to act.

[brian32672]

Me personally, I thought Bad Santa was one of the worst movies ever made. It happens to be the only one that sticks in my mind of being so bad. Of course there are some cheesy movies. Just look at anything Ed Wood did. However I thought Ed Wood (Johnny Depp, Sarah J. Parker) was actually done pretty good. Funny thing is, that the Ed Wood movie cost more to make than all of Ed Wood's movies combined.

[agarwalro]

Especially if you use my 5-step grade system.

1. Total crap
2. Bad
3. Average
4. Good
5. Excellant.

I start with ordering 2 pizzas and 2 cases cold beer and then the movie rates as follows,

0. Why God why? (ended up throwing up pizza and woke up at hospital after stomach was pumped)
1. WTF were they thinking (finished second pizza and second case of beer and passed out)
2. Is this for real (opened second pizza and second case of beer during first half)
3.Total crap (first pizza and first case of beer over during second half)
4. Bad (finished first pizza and finished first case as movie ended)
5. Average (half pizza gone and half case over)
6. Good (ate a couple of slices and three-four beers)
7. Very Good (had one slice and one beer)
8. Amazing (had couple of bites and couple of sips during first 5 minutes)
9. Surreal (did not touch pizza or beer)

[RJB]

Please add any of the "Ernest" movies to the list...plus the all time "Mr. Woods" favourite - Plan 9 From Outer Space... :eek:

[Johnny Canuck]

I have to disagree with the Catwoman choice as worst movie. I didn't care really about the story. Any warmblooded man had to be impressed with Halle Berry. She was in amazing shape and those lips....man. H-O-T.

That said, I didn't pay for my viewing. Would have made it a little worse I guess. I was still entertained based on the eye candy factor alone.

I did recently see some of Rocky V on TV and wow. Did That suck. How has Sylvester Stallone ever been paid to act?

[brian32672]

He directed and produced to pay himself...... And I am a Rocky fan. But that one did suckkkkkkk

[mulester7]

....."Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes".....about 1980....camera tricks would show whole tomatoes moving across the kitchen floor and a woman would scream and stuff, haha.....

[Shadow_Ferret]

Can a movie that is intentionally trying to be bad, to be a spoof of low budget horror movies, really be considered with truly bad movies? In the case of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" (1978), it was bad on purpose. I think that takes it out of contention for worst picture. Worst picture should be reserved for those movies that everyone involved thought it would be great, a blockbuster, but for whatever reason it just failed on every count. Movies like "Ishtar" deserve to be in this category of worst film, or "The Conqueror" with John Wayne as Genghis Khan.

[Chaos_Cow]

Please, Stallone's worst movie has to be Get Carter.

The two worst movies in my book, however, were, in opposite order of how much I hate them:
1.) Daredevil. This is especially bad because some people were delusioned into liking it. Maybe they were sitting in the silent bathtub or whatever that thing is that the blind guy managed to build, but everything was HORRENDOUS. The action was quite terrible, the characters were unbelievable, the bad guy was TOTALLY non-threatening, the acting oh god the acting, and the script was straight up stupid. Wait, what was the bad guy's plot? Oh, he had none? You mean the city wasn't in danger! GREAT SCOTT! No urgency AT ALL! And Elektra LIVED, meaning that besides his father being killed by the mob years ago, there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING against the villain! What the heck. I think I'm right. I might be wrong. If so, whatever, it was still horrible.

2.) Even worse, Legally Blonde 2. It was just offensive. The first movie's message was basically, like so many other movies, that I shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Whatever, it was nice, Elle did things fairly against the kind of prejudice attractive white females feel. My heart bled for her, really. Either way, she worked for her results and ended up getting them honestly; she fought the good fight and made the right decision in the end. In the SECOND movie, the writers have to be spiting us. She cheats her way to the top thanks to her connections in her crap sorority. She exploits all of the friendships of those around her, and goes on a crusade to get her heinous dog's mom back from animal testing. It presents a horribly lopsided view wherein she believes that cosmetics shouldn't be tested on animals, when the alternative is to test them on humans. What? Oh, okay, maybe it's a message against cosmetic companies in general. BZZT. WRONG. Elle is vain and the OTHER half of the movie advocates doing one's best with makeup and designer clothing to make you look more appealing. How can you reconcile her vendetta against cosmetics with her obsession with physical beauty, when you're happy as soon as you're prettier? Not only is this movie devoid of humor, it is downright offensive. It offends all the senses; the visual with horrible acting, the aural with the obnoxious tones of voices, the sense of humor with its horrendous jokes, your sense of intelligence when it BLUDGEONS you with its limousine liberal messages, and your sense of decency for its pettiness and complete lack of character. I loathe it, and I hope she joins her husband in the career graveyard soon. (Actually, I feel kind of bad for Ryan Philippe. He's not THAT bad.)

Oh, I hate that movie.

[Flynn939]

ok now i don't care how aweful the movies you have all seen are... the fact is that THIS MOVIE is the undisputed king of crap... you have not lived until you see it. SO DO IT NOW!

[jliedeka]

The worst movie had to be Swordfish. The acting was sub-par and the plot made no sense. The only thing that made it not a complete waste of my $8 was Halley Berry's breasts.

I'd give the nod to Battlefield Earth as second worst. I am a Forrest Whitaker fan and I was embarrassed for him.

Third would have to be Something About Mary. I changed the channel after the zipper scene.

I feel I have to defend a few movies that were panned here.

Bubba Ho-Tep was awesome. Bruce Campbell as Elvis, Ossie Davis as JFK, a mummy in cowboy boot sucking souls out of old peoples' anuses. What's not to like.

Also, I loved Dangerous Liasons. I became a huge Malkovitch fan after that movie. I'm also a fan of the novel and the other movie, Valmont.

Jim

[alexsound]

Dracula 3000. Awful doesn't quite cover it for this.

[Seth=L]

Bloodrayne, and any other crap from Uwe Boll are going to be the worst movies.

[WmAx]

The poster Flynn39, a few threads up is right. Troll 2 is perhaps the king of bad movies. If you have not seen it, don't dare to claim another is the worst movie.... :D

Troll 2 is.... it's just... I don't have sufficient words to describe what I witnessed.....

I previously thought I know of some very bad movies, and I responded a couple of years ago in this thread, with what I thought was a bad movie. I noticed this movie in IMDB rated as near the worst movie ever. I happened to see it on the Dish Network guide one night, and decided to watch it....

*WOW*

-Chris

[stratman]

PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, the worst movie ever written, acted, filmed period.

[Joe Schmoe]

I can't recall having seen a worse movie than Tideland. I am usually a Terry Gilliam fan, but I flat out couldn't stand that one.

[darien87]

Bloodrayne, and any other crap from Uwe Boll are going to be the worst movies.I hear ya dude. House of the Dead??? Gimme a break. Why the hell do they let that charlatan continue to make movies?!?!?

[j_garcia]

I'd have to say Battlefield Earth easily wins as the worst movie ever made in my book. Nothing else has touched it yet, and there are a lot of terrible movies out there.

[Pheaton]

Hi,
The worst two movies that I have seen are Babe, Pig in the City (should have been called Babe beyond Thunderdome), and Dungeons and Dragons.

I saw both of them in the theater and wanted my money back!

Pheaton

P.S. Wait forgot about Event Horizon. It started as a bad sci-fi movie and turned into a bad horror movie. The result was one of the worst movies that I have seen.

[j_garcia]

I liked Event Horizon. Wasn't great, but wasn't terrible.

Dungeons and Dragons is definitely high up on my list of garbage also.

Driven makes my top 10 dumbest of all time too.

[Seth=L]

I also liked Event Horizon, I liked Sphere much more however. Event Horizon had a similar concept to Sphere with inferior acting, direction, and intent (pointless things like eyes being taken out of your head for no reason comes to mind).

Driven is pretty lame as well.

In responce to darien's post. I think that Uwe Boll must have large amounts of funds at his disposal, I can't fathom why any production studios would front him the money for his monumental flops. He did one with Jason Statham, also based off of a game (don't recal the name of the movie), that was supposed to come out last year. It looked interesting enough to watch at the dollar theater, but it never seemed to ever come out (it was Uwe Boll's most expensive production to date, but I bet Bloodrayne 2 will exceed that budget). I have no clue were that movie went, or if it ever even came out.

[j_garcia]

I know people will likely disagree, but I have to say Daredevil is on my list of worst also; easily making the top 10. Sorry, but it was complete dung. I initially turned it off after just about 10 minutes...then came back and forced myself to watch the whole thing since I rented it, and it didn't get any better. If it didn't have Garner, then it would have been even worse...

As soon as I see Uwe Boll mentioned, I know I can stop paying attention...:)

[jake5717]

Scary Movie 4

LOL, Daredevil does suck.

When I watched it Colin Farrel was the only thing in that movie that kept my interest. I personally think that Colin Farrel sucks for the most part, but his role as Bullseye was cracking me up. I liked his scene on the plane with the old chatty lady the best.:D

[j_garcia]

Haha, not a big Colin Farrel fan, but he is usually entertaining anyway...and his scenes were probably the most entertaining in that movie.

[WmAx]

Seems to me that most people are just listing movies they did not care for, as opposed to the most horrible piece of s**t ever put to film, called a movie and distributed by a professional company. At least another recent poster just submitted a movie that really does fit this bill: Plan 9 From Outer Space. But one needs to watch it back to back with Troll 2, in order to determine the winner(?!).

Those movies (Troll 2 and Plan 9 From Outer Space) are in another league than what most are calling 'bad movies' in this thread. :)

Have you ever seen Driven???? LMAO. The dialogue seems like it was written by a 6th grader and the acting was so bad it wasn't even funny.

I think it was you that mentioned Battlefield Earth too; well Driven left me with a similar feeling almost...it is that bad and so is Daredevil IMO.

I have seen(well, okay, I turned off Driven like 1/2 way through) all three movies that you referenced. They certainly are not good movies by any measure. However, compared to Troll 2, they are motion picture masterpieces

Troll 2.... is.... that.... horrible.

You guys are making me want to see Troll 2 just out of curiousity...

So I have added Troll 2 and Plan 9 to the top of my netflix queue. If I have time I will try to watch them this weekend and report back. If needed I will record how far into the movie I make it just incase I can't sit through both.

I have yet to see either so this should be an interesting event.

Plan 9 is sooo bad it didn't make the list!:D:D

[j_garcia]

That's funny, out of that list, I've heard of about 80% of them and have seen almost none of them because their trailers looked retarded.

[Joe Schmoe]

One thing that makes it difficult to compile any such list is that there are many different types of bad. A movie can be utterly forgettable (I would give an example, but I forgot), deadly dull (eg Lost in Translation), offensive (eg Hostel), disappointing (eg Red Dragon), full of terrible acting and worse dialog (eg Plan 9), confusing (eg Mulholland Dr.) or bad in any number of other ways.
One must also distinguish between movies that have no redeeming value (eg Punch Drunk Love) and those that are entertaining by virtue of their sheer awfulness (eg Night of the Lepus.)

[WmAx]

Plan 9 is sooo bad it didn't make the list!:D:D

Plan 9 is rated too high at this point. People seem to have been giving it 'good' ratings because they are finding it entertaining to watch because it's so 'bad'. The rating system is being abused, somewhat, it seems. Troll 2 used to also be lower rated, I believe, now it's in the bottom 20 instead of the bottom 10, for the same reason.

The ratings scale now seems to be used to rate 'entertainment level', which is another matter. There is no way that Daddy Day Camp can be worse than Plan 9 or Troll 2, yet Daddy Day Camp ranked 3rd worst on IMDB as of the time I posted this reply. But perhaps Troll 2 is more entertaining, based on the ratings, even if a much worse film.

Yeah, this makes sense. These bad movies are renamed "camp" and are "fun" to watch just to make fun of the acting. Like Mystery Theater 3000, they take a really bad movie and poke fun at it throughout it's entirety.

[Joe Schmoe]

Oh yes, another category to consider: Bad movies I have not seen and never will. :)

[WmAx]

Yeah, this makes sense. These bad movies are renamed "camp" and are "fun" to watch just to make fun of the acting.

Troll 2 can not be considered merely 'bad'.

But Troll 2 is so much more than simply bad acting or a poor plot. It manages to achieve the worst execution on EVERY facet of the movie: directing, costumes, story, lighting, acting, soundtrack(made on a kid's quality electronic synthesizer keyboard!), dialogue and special F/X. Check the IMDB reviews; it is held by virtually anyone that has seen it, even people whom regularly watch bad movies for entertainment, as the worst movie ever made.

Even beyond the movie, the packaging for the movie did not fail as being the worst and most inappropriate possible(along with the title): The original Troll 2 cover art had what looked much like a werewolf chasing a boy on the front. Troll 2 has neither the boy that was featured on the front in the movie, nor any werewolves, or anything that looked even remotely like the thing featured on the front. The title, here, also does not let us down: Troll 2 has no trolls. It's about goblins. And there was no Troll 1 that had anything to do with Troll 2. Troll 1 was a completely different movie with no connection; not even the same company or producer. Though, eventually, a special double feature DVD was released with both Troll 1 and Troll 2, from what I can tell based on used movies on ebay.

-Chris

[stratman]

I'm almost tempted to netflix it!

[WmAx]

Watch some clips on YouTube. You might just have to Netflix it. :)

BTW, there is also a Troll 3. No, sorry, there are two Troll 3s. By the same company. By the same director. Released the same year. Completely different movies. Of course, neither have anything to do with trolls.

At least the franchise is consistent in their absurdity.

-Chris

[alexsound]

Yeah, this makes sense. These bad movies are renamed "camp" and are "fun" to watch just to make fun of the acting. Like Mystery Theater 3000, they take a really bad movie and poke fun at it throughout it's entirety.

If anyone has seen the 1994 movie "Ed Wood" you'll understand why
plan 9 was so bad. Bela Lugosi was already dead when the movie
began actual production. Ed Wood (directed/wrote/produced Plan 9) took footage from another project he was working on with Legosi, that was unfinished (due to Legosi's death) and used it for Plan 9. He thought Legosi would add some star power to the movie. As camp as it was, now that I think about it, I am changing my original pick of Dracula 3000 for "Worse Movie Ever" to Plan 9 as being the worse movie ever..... And I have seen it. It really, really sucked.

[gus6464]

Kazaam!!!! nuff said.....

[avaserfi]

Well guys Troll 2 and Plan 9 are shipping today so I will have them by tomorrow. I will report back after I have seen both of them this weekend.

[yettitheman]

The Black Dahlia. Even IMDB gives it a 5/10 :p :D

That and Syriana..... oh boy.

I'd actually blocked Black Dahlia from my memory...it was terrible.

[Buckeye_Nut]

After taking a quick peek at my netflix ratings, these are a few notable movies that I rated the lowest...... 1 star.

1.Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy
2.The Lost Voyage
3.Peaceful Warrior
4.Hook
5. John Q
6.Knock Off
7. Lost in Translation
8.21 Grams

Just to name a few:)

[j_garcia]

C'mon, Hook was a decent flick. Kid's movie yes, but it wasn't bad. I have seen zero of the rest of those...

[tylerdurden]

1. Brother from another planet
2. Ishtar
3. Any Batman that fell in the between the 1st and last one
4. My own private Idaho (gag...no pun intended)
5. And my personal favorite worst of all time. I thought it was so bad after the opening scene I had to write a note and attach it to the disc for the next sucker who rented it. Moulin Rouge.

[stratman]

Well guys Troll 2 and Plan 9 are shipping today so I will have them by tomorrow. I will report back after I have seen both of them this weekend.

Post as soon as you can, I want to know your take on Plan 9!

[pzaur]

I've seen too many bad ones to keep track. But, I will agree with #95 on the IMDB list of 100 worst movies, BloodRayne.

I vote for Death Race 2000. If you haven't seen this masterpiece, then you really need to. It sports both David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone.

Any movie that has a scene of senior citizens being brought outside for them to be run over...

"Blue pants! 200 points!"
(or something similar)

-pat

ps - my apologies if this one has already been brought up earlier. I didn't feel like rummaging through 200+ posts...

Pat, I actually saw this movie in the the theater! Stallone and Carradine! Stallone played the mobster and Carradine was a Frankenstein-like character. As bad as it was, this might fall into "camp" today, like MDS pointed out.

[avaserfi]

So I just finished Troll 2. I haven't seen a worse movie in my life no exaggeration...

The acting - There were two extremes: either people who didn't realize they were supposed to convey emotion and just plain sucked. It was like watching people read lines from a play they had never seen before. The other side was those who overacted so much they got turned down from the soap opera they tried out for. Ridiculous.

Writing - Imagined if someone **** on the worst book you ever read then feed it to you. This was worse. *Spoiler* The kid defeats, well sort of, evil with a secret weapon...a double decker bologna sandwich. WTF is that?

Directing - Probably the worst part of the movie. This movie could have at least been funny if the director went that way, but he tried to make it serious and put any and every cliche from horror flicks in it.

Everything else - this movie sucked I am off to watch plan 9...it can't be worse...I hope. I actually feel bad for my HT for having to play that ****!

[Adam]

Don't think that Plan 9 could be worse? Hee, hee. You're in for a treat. :D
