What was the WORST movie you've ever seen?

[JunkMonkey]

The sad part is it actually had potential.

All of which were made up as a kit of parts from other movies and TV series.
Obvious 'influences' I thought about while watching: the harvesting aliens were The Wraith from Stargate Atlantis driving the semi organic looking robots from the Matrix movies which arrived in the Bloody Big Ships with Huge Shadows we have grown to know and love from V, Independence Day, Childhood's End etc..
The film also had that cheap 1950's morality that I thought 'Hollywood' was growing out of. Cheap laughs at gay characters. The 'slut' - she is referred to as that in the film - being one of the first to die - followed by the only black character. (The fact that he was the most believable and sympathetic character, played by the best actor in the film didn't help the proceedings.) They even managed to squeeze in 'the character getting themselves killed trying to rescue the pet' moment - happily (for once) the pet got eaten too which was probably the only novel moment in the whole script. Sadly the little yapping dog didn't get eaten on screen.

Hi,

Can't remember if I've posted this before in this thread and can't be bothered going through 32 pages, but it has to be Highlander 2 closely followed by Highlander 3. In their own right these would both be terrible movies, but as sequels to Highlander - one of the best movies ever - they are complete obscenities!

I'd also like to give a dis-honorable mention to the final episode of Enterprise even though its not a movie, where the producers obviously decided that they should just give a giant middle finger to the fans!

Cheers, Greg

A tie between Battlefield Earth and Spiceworld....Both dire

The one thing in Spiceworld's favor was that it that it ,may have been a factor in the demise of the Spice Girls popularity .

Message from Space, from the late 1970s.

Some sort of Star Wars type ripoff, with horrible acting, horrible plot line and the special effects...while they could be cheesy in a good way, weren't.

Message from Space not good ??!!!! Preposterous ! Vic Morrow was in that film and he did do bad films. !

 

[Starbeast]

I'm another fan of Message From Space. I saw it in the theater. I remembered the audience laughed at how ridiculous it was. However everyone applauded when it ended and chatted about it with smiles on their faces.

BTW, there was a TV show based off the movie titled, Message From Space: Galactic Wars. I'm curious to see it, but it's probably severely outdated.

Recently I watched a horrifically directed flick, called The Dragon Lives Again (1977). Basically, when Bruce Lee died, he was sent to Hell. Bruce battles his way back to Earth by defeating Dracula, mummies, skeleton men, Clint Eastwood, James Bond and more.

He has help from Popeye, Cain from the Kung Fu TV series, plus a few more.

​

The movie could have been better, if only it wasn't slap together so tremendously poorly. It's so bad, it's shockingly bad. However, it is the first time Popeye is in a live action movie.

 

[Vladd67]

Given his history with the role, Bruce Lee being helped by Caine is in dubious taste.

Great point. I forgot about how much it bothered Bruce Lee that he did not get the part of Caine in Kung Fu.

The show would have been exceedingly better with the amazing martial arts of Bruce Lee.

I have not seen it, but if anyone else can shed light on the qualification of The Giant Spider Invasion (1975) for this thread, I would be most interested.

It's true that it isn't a great film, but I do enjoy this outrageous flick because it is laughable. I especially like the Mystery Science Theater 300 riff on it.

 

[Vladd67]

Wasnt that he didn't get the role as much as the series was his idea.

Once again you reminded me of what really bothered Mr Lee. Thanks man. I haven't had coffee or breakfast yet. I better lumber out of here before I make another mistake.

Food of the Gods by H G Wells ia great book and science fiction classic . The 1976 movie version is a godawful cheap looking and utter train wreck of a movie which has absolutely nothing in common with the Wells book save its title.

This has been on my Must Watch list for years. The book is a very preachy bore - once they'd cut out all the long, earnest Fabian Society socialist speeches there can't have been a lot left.

The film is pretty dire stuff with zero entertainment value . equally dire the film version H. G Wells story The Empire of the Ant but that least that one had Joan Collins in it.

Re: Worst film seen...

I would have to agree that Event Horizon was a horrendous. I wanted my money back too.

It seemed to me they started off writing a sci-fi mystery, but half way through changed their minds and made it a hunted house/slasher in space. Maybe the writers hated it too and decided to kill off all the characters.

It's become some thing of a science fiction classic.

Brilliant film

Brilliant film

Starts off brilliant, then loses its way pretty badly (in my opinion). If the rest of the movie had continued like the first 30 minutes did it would have been awesome.

 

[AE35Unit]

I really like it, one of my faves
