Movies that should have never been made

[Mike C.]

I left the TV on in the living room, and Blues Brothers 2000 is on. This made me think... what other movies have you come across that should have NEVER been made? This movie is horrible.

[Jonathan]

The Hills Have Eyes

And the new Footloose movie. I haven't seen it yet, but the trailer alone made me want to throw up in my mouth. Leave the good oldies alone already.

[robvanderveer]

First reactions:
- Highlander II
- Dude where's my car
- Caddyshack

And finally: The holy Grail. Great movie, but it has occupied most of my youth... :D

[SamHill]

Speed 2
Xanadu
M Night movies after 2002
Most Woody Allen movies
All Spike Lee movies

[jmettee]

speed 1 & 2
xanadu
m night movies after 2002
most woody allen movies
all spike lee movies

fixed

[jackb]

Caddyshack? Seriously? That movie is great!

Off the top of my head:
Super 8
In the Name of the King (first movie my entire life that was so bad I actually walked out of it)

[sean]

Caddyshack? Seriously? That movie is great!

+1, but I also liked the Hills Have Eyes.

But Id add these to the list:
Idiocracy
Any karate kid after Karate kid III
Any Jaws after Jaws

[Spittybug]

Speed 2
Xanadu
M Night movies after 2002
Most Woody Allen movies
All Spike Lee movies

Have you ever seen Sleeper? Or anything you ever wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask? Classics. Woody Allen beating back the instant pudding or passing the pleasure orb around? Dressed as a sperm as Burt Reynolds and Tony Randall prepare to "send him on his way"? Hilarious!!!!!!!!! But you are right, most of his stuff is crap.

[Mark D]

Batman and Robin

Oh man, I'd managed to block Idiocracy out of my mind. Now it's back. And my brain is bleeding. That was craptastic.

Do the Twilight movies even need to be mentioned? Or are they a given?

[Mark D]

Haha! Great video. It would almost make the movie worth watching except that you still have to hear all the god awful ice related puns from Mr. Freeze.

[sean]

Do the Twilight movies even need to be mentioned? Or are they a given?

Given, along with Glitter and Gigli.

[Jonathan]

+1, but I also liked the Hills Have Eyes.

I might have been thinking part two. Was there a part two? All I know is I had to draw the line at the mutant rape scene.

I'll put one out there: I really liked WaterWorld, but apparently the whole planet hated it.

[sean]

There was a part two and yeah it was to much.




I'll put one out there: I really liked WaterWorld, but apparently the whole planet hated it.

Ha, you're the other one! I keep telling my wife someone else out there likes it too! She gives me crap every time I watch it. I actually have it on VHS.

[GS450-Junkie]

Police Academy 6

[sdg3205]

The Love Guru.

The only move I have ever stopped watching after 5 minutes.

[GS450-Junkie]

Zoolander is pretty bad also....

[Jonathan]

Am I going to be the first one to say Star Wars episodes I, II, and III?

How about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?
Or maybe Borat?

[Alan]

Am I going to be the first one to say Star Wars episodes I, II, and III?

Yes, but I'll be the second.

And then there's Broadway Danny Rose!! The chase scene through the Macy's balloon warehouse!

i liked it, i never understood why everyone else hated it so much; but i like post-apocalyptic movies... i have it on LaserDisc. :hihi2:

Arthur - 2011 remake

Any movie that is spawned from a successful TV series

Deuce Bigalow

[sean]

t is spawned from a successful TV series


I 99.9% agree with this but was very surprised how much I liked the A-Team.

[Farrar]

These days a lot of movies seem to be made just to sell more popcorn.

Farrar

[DCUK Martin]

Any movie that is spawned from a successful TV series



The Inbetweeners movie is currently doing well in UK cinemas. It is an exception that proves the rule though.

The Crow: City of Angels
Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows

Both cashing in on the success of a one-off original.

Crocodile Dundee 3

[nullset]

Legally Blonde 2…. :)

I liked Idiocracy. It's slightly scary, though……

Netflix is full of "late night movies" that should never have been made. Some are epic, and some are just terrible.

[Farrar]

"Back to the Future Part II."

Yeah, I said it. ;)

Farrar

[DeLorean03]

Any horror remake after Dawn of the Dead (2004) was released.. Texas Chainsaw and DOTD proved a decent remake could be done, but man, Hollywood went "WHAT? You mean we can just keep doing this and make the cash cow go MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ?"

All Saw movies with the exception of 1 and 2. EVERYTHING after that sucked.

All Crow sequels.

Anything with Will Farrell in it.

Same statement above just put in "Mike Myers" with the lone exception of Wayne's World.

Blade 2 and 3.

All Spy Kid movies.

I'm sure I can think of more - drawing a blank right now.

[jmettee]

The Aristocrats

That was one that we didn't get far into the rental before we took it out of the DVD player. True it was a "documentary", but it was horrible just the same.

[Ikeaboy1]

The Box. Hands down worst movie I've ever seen, and I've seen almost everything listed so far.

The Ed Wood trilogy is off limits(Glen/Bride/Plan 9). They're widely regarding as some of the worst movies ever, but unlike 'The Box,' they're fun to watch.

"PULL THE STRING!"

Oh yeah, 'The Room' is terrible, too. But is sorta like the Ed Wood films, it's so bad it's good.

[Ryan]

"Back to the Future Part II."

Yeah, I said it. ;)

Farrar

Heresy! Burn him! Burn him!

[Ikeaboy1]

I'm suprised someone nominated Part II before Part III. I enjoy all of them, so I can't endorse the nomination.

[robvanderveer]

Any Disney movie after Bambi. Unless you have kids..

[Mike C.]

"Back to the Future Part II."

Yeah, I said it. ;)

Farrar

I like the way you think.

I'm sorry, I hated BTTF part 2. Even as a kid. Loved 1, never thought 2 did it any justice... too many plot holes, and just felt cheap.

Hated Mom and Dad Save the World

Honey, I blew up the kid/shrank ourselves, etc...

2 fast 2 furious

Short Circuit 2

Rambo 3 (shoulda let the Russians handle their buisness...lol)

Police Academy 5+

Those horrible spoof movies: Meet the spartans, date movie, superhero movie, etc...

Norbit, Pluto Nash, Meet Dave (Big Eddie Murphy crap theme going on here)

Waynes World 2

[nullset]

Meet the Fockers

I actually thought Meet the Parents was pretty funny, but the sequel was just trying too hard. I'm noticing a theme of bad sequels….

Hangover 2 was equally horrible. The only decently funny bit was (SPOILER ALERT)\the scene with them all as children(END SPOILER ALERT)

highlight to see the spoiler'd text.

[SamHill]

Oh yeah, 'The Room' is terrible, too. But is sorta like the Ed Wood films, it's so bad it's good.

Which reminds me, Johnny Depp's 'Ed Wood' is one of my favorites of all time.

[yellowmxwheels23]

Mel Brooks movie called Life stinks. Only movie I have ever witnessed more than half of the people walk out.

[2k1Toaster]

The movie "Rubber". It is about a car tire that goes on revenge and blows things up with its mind... :shocked:

[nullset]

We clearly have differing tastes in movies.

I _LOVED_ Rubber. I was actually surprised how well they pulled it off, considering the concept….

Showgirls

[Ikeaboy1]

White Chicks

and +1 to the mind-numbing spoof movies

[Dracula]

Dracula 2000
Dracula 3000
Transformers and the subsequent sequels
Pearl Harbor
Jennifer's Body (Just a watered-down version of 'Bible Black' and, for that matter, I could say ANYTHING with Megan Fox.)
Avatar (We already had 'Dances With Wolves' and that was enough.)

[Mike C.]

Showgirls

When that first came out, we are in awe because we could see the Saved by the Bell chick totally naked.

Sadly, im not sure nudity was worth that horrible movie.





(...could say ANYTHING with Megan Fox.)


Don't know what you mean. I'd watch her doing long division for an hour.

[sean]

Don't know what you mean. I'd watch her doing long division for an hour.

I could agree with this provided she didn't talk while doing it.

[jmettee]

Don't know what you mean. I'd watch her doing long division for an hour.

Here's the religious argument about to unfold: I've never thought Megan Fox to be attractive or hot. Like most other actresses, she is sexed up with paint & hardware (makeup & pushup bras). She's not ugly, but not as pretty & hot as her makeup & wardrobe make her. And yeah, the movies she's been in shows she's all "looks" & no talent.

[Dracula]

Now, couple that with her TALKING and she's intolerable and nothing special.

[EdR5150]

Here's my list, excluding Chick Flicks and Direct-To-Video releases:
Dungeons and Dragons
Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion
Battlefield Earth
Deep Blue Sea
Highlander 3 End Game
FeardotCom
Solaris

The only movie I've seen on IMDB's Bottom 100 is Battlefield Earth: http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom

I was at the beach yesterday and saw atleast 50 girls hotter than Megan Fox. No makeup just bikini's

Ditto, along with Dumb & Dumber

[SamHill]

I've noticed that Redbox likes to slip real clunkers in with their already slim selection. This one I saw today takes the cake. "American Breakdown" truly rivals the worst I've ever seen. I mean it.

The only thing entertaining about it is reading the reviews for the movie on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/American-Breakdown-Steve-Carell/dp/B00555ZTRY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315259913&sr=8-1

[SIMid]

Most remakes come to mind.

Willy Wonka
Vanishing Point
Footloose (has to bomb)
Gone in 60Secs (The CGI jump scene killed the movie)
Italian Job (ended in LA?)
Karate Kid
Superman
Back to the Future (I read somewhere that they are thinking of redoing this with Biber, god save us)

Some sequels weren't toooooo bad.

Tron (music and CGI saved this)
Matrix
Lordy Rings

[TTait]

Sorry Patrick, wherever you are...

Roadhouse

It was so dumbfoundingly bad that I forgot I had the right to walk out until it was 5 minutes from being over - at least I got those 5 minutes back (albeit dry-heaving - that was still better than watching the end).

(Sean, you can close the thread now - there is no worse movie in the Universe.)

Two-Lane Blacktop; seriously, this film was about car racing and went nowhere. Kinda like Nascar.

[Mike C.]

:ehh:

I liked 2 lane blacktop. Not one of those films I can watch over and over again, but I liked the low budgetness of it. Plus they had to keep tuning that damn car up every time they stopped for gas... lol

[Mike C.]

:-/ , yikes, that's one of my favorite :blush:


Mine too. There's so much understated in that movie. Plus you gotta love Luhfawnduh. lol

[Canon20DFan]

Virtually all "2" and higher movies, with the following exceptions:

Aliens (a "2" movie)
Cars 2 (it was OK, not great)
BTTF

[Canon20DFan]

Now that's just funny, I don't care who you are...

Fixed that for 'ya.

[Canon20DFan]

Crap! How on EARTH could I forget Terminator??? All of them are great...I hope Arnold won't kick me out of the manly club...

Fixed that for 'ya.

[TheDutchTexan]

- American Ninja was iconic, but the following sequels sucked balls.
- Mad Max owned, Mad Max 2 was better, but Beyond Thunderdome...
- Star Wars prequels
- Alien Resurrection, Predator 2 and the Aliens vs Predator movies.

I could dig up more if I truly sat down, but these came to mind.

[Renee_1632]

James Bond movies starring Daniel Craig. WORST.BOND.EVER.
The Change Up. If someone hadn't bought my ticket, I'd have been mad I spent the money.
Disney Sequels. Cinderella 3? Really? What part of "happily ever after" do you not get?

Also, Idiocracy is my favorite movie, if only because I see its main theme as pretty plausible.

[opethmike]

James Bond movies starring Daniel Craig.

Holy crap - someone that finally thinks the same way I do! Not to mention, the Craig movies don't have the same ridiculous charm of the older ones.

[Dracula]

Idiocracy is my favorite movie, if only because I see its main theme as pretty plausible.

I see both sides to that movie; it's amusing and has a few good ideas, but I like to think that natural selection can't so easily be overturned. Still, it shouldn't have been made because I now wonder what type of world will my probable descendants have.

[sean]

I was amped to see it because I'm a fan of Luke Wilson but I could barely get through that pile of shit, sorry Renee glad you liked it though.

[SamHill]

Holy crap - someone that finally thinks the same way I do! Not to mention, the Craig movies don't have the same ridiculous charm of the older ones.

The last Bond movie was awful and depressingly boring. Bond doesn't seem to have a lot of life left in him. Shoot 'em up movies can still be entertaining if they are done along the lines of "The Mechanic" which I enjoyed immensely.

[louielouie2000]

Boy, I'm really letting my homo colors show here, but both Sex And The City movies :giddy:. The HBO series was groundbreaking, intelligent, and ended very cleanly. The movies just shat all over the wonderful series and turned the entire franchise into a vapid caricature of itself.

[Dangermouse]

For me:
Dumb and Dumber - good
Terminator 2 - the best of the series

Dumb and dumberer - awful
The big lebowski - not funny at all
Deer hunter - I know I know. I just didn't get it

Hackers

Seriously, this film is TERRIBLE and the only reason anyone will ever re-watch it or defend it is that you get to see Angelina Jolie's boobs. Breasts do not a movie make.

Hackers is awesome for the cheesiness. LOL! The aformentioned young Jolie rack shot was enjoyable in its day

But yeah, what a crappy movie full of special deffects.

[EdR5150]

The big lebowski - not funny at all

What?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Disagree. Definitely in my top 5. Very quotable.
Also in the IMDB's top 50 comedies, with more votes than most other films... and some of those I wouldn't categorize as comedies.

Many of my friends have raved about it and on a flight back from Brazil my boss was ecstatic that it was included on the in-flight movie selection. Like Ed, he raved that it was his favorite movie of all time etc etc.....So I got my bottle of wine, great airplane food and settled down to enjoy "one of the top comedies" . I kept waiting for the funny parts right up til the credits rolled. I was so disappointed. And now I was more than a little suspect about my bosses judgement ;)
