Slashdot Mirror

Gay Niggers From Outer Space.

• Batman and Robin. I was a fan of the Batman comic when I was a wee lad, and I have fond memories of the show. Hell, the first two live-action movies weren't too bad either. But this one was just horrible. Cheesy one-liners replete with the obligatory "dynamic duo creatively dispose of hundreds of mindless, drone-like henchmen" scenes. A horrible movie. The sad thing is, its release date was 1997 and the special effects were just horrible. The cast was pretty nice; George Clooney, Uma Thurman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chris O'donnell and Alicia Silverstone were all in it. Proof that an all-star movie can still suck, no matter how much money you throw at it.
• The second is a gem so truly godawful that it's worth seeking out if you want fodder for a night of adding running commentary in the vein of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. It's called Virtuosity and it is, quite possibly, the worst big-budget sci-fi movie I've seen. It has two of my favorite actors in it, Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe so it too joins the esteemed ranks of "movies that had a good cast and still sucked". All the cliches and stereotypes of the genre can be found in this one. Story line is cheesy and the special effects are laughable (after doing some thorough research, I can conclude that Crowe's character actually does bleed Gak). Seriously. Rent it or watch it on SciFi for some laughs.

"At the site of the 1969 rock concert at Woodstock, New York, an electrical charge turns a local farmer into a murderous werewolf..."

A staggering 2.4/10 on IMDB.

The Underground Comedy Movie featured Slash judging a bag queen beauty contest, a supermodel taking a shit, and some guy seducing a corpse. By far the worst movie I've ever seen. It was even worse than Batman and Robin or Jurassic Park II. What a summer that was.

where's "plan 9 from outer space" ?? i was expecting to see many, many +5 funnies to that effect...

Arnold Schwarzeneggers first movie: Hercules in New York.
Notice that his name in that movie is "Arnold Strong", probably because of his hard-to-spell surname :)

On a more recent movie it has to be Mars Attacks!.
How the hell can you get so many celebs to act in a such horrible movie!

Have a look at the following reviews:

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0104702/
http://us.i mdb.com/title/tt0102804/

(They are basically the same movie - search for more info)

To quote: ..Because this is one movie you just gotta see ONCE, if only as a yardstick of sheer crapness.

Staring Frank Stallone and Joe Estevez ;)

Then take a look at Scott Shaw's other gems. You could probably fill out the list :)

Really, Plan 9 from Outer Space is art house in comparisson.

By far the worst movie I've ever seen, and possibly the worst movie ever created, would have to be "Going Overboard" ( http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0096870/ ). Not only did they shoot and release it, but some idiot decided to waste the companies time and money by rereleasing it on DVD; I bet he was fired shortly after.

Lets not forget ... Gayniggers from Outer Space.

Gayniggers from Outer Space

This is indeed a real movie, and it is not off topic. here is the information page for the film.

Worst as in 'insult to the intelligence':
Beastmaster
Worst as in 'shoddiest pile of celluloid':
No Retreat, No Surrender
The review in the newspaper agreed that even the miking on this film was poor. IMDB reviews are no' so glowing, either.

You mean King Arthur? Yes, pretty damn dire, IMO.

Knightley, whoever played Lancelot, and the Saxon leader had the best performances...but Arthur (sorry, "Artuius") was awful. The pseudo-History was also irritating as hell for me.

Spiderman2, "I, Robot", and The Village are all much more enojyable movies.

What the fuck? Moderators on slashdot just keep getting stupider and stupider.

For those who are unaware, Gayniggers From Outer Space is an actual movie. Science fiction/comedy film from 1992.

Stupid ignorant fucks.

I just remembered The sum of all Fears. (My biggest gripe is its lack of continuity with other Tom Clancey movies or novels and bad acting). Actually, just about any movie I can think of with Ben Affleck was a flop.

My friends and I used to rent old movies in a search to find some truly horrible ones. Don't ask me why we did this. Some were bombs, others boring. I'd have to rate Evil Dead (the first one) as my #2 worst movie.

The worst I've seen is Dead Alive (or "Braindead"). A sumatran rat monkey bites a grandmother, and her geeky son decides... "Well, she's a zombie now. Better not let the neighbors find out". There is no explaining this movie or the extreme ridiculousness of it. It was filmed in New Zealand, and one of the most notable details is that the camera is *always* a little too close to the actors. It's like tilting your head sideways when something is tilted on screen, except you keep trying to back up.

But this is the incredible part... my friend eventually looked up the director. Guess who it is? It really is worth click on this link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/. I guess it wasn't a bad start for this director!

That was easy

I actually really like that film. Seen a lot worse, how come no one has mentioned "plan 9 from outer space" yet ?

If you haven't seen it yet, try Hobgoblins from MST3K.

It's the worst possible combination of awful acting, terrible plot and the ridicilous 1980's fashion and music. (BT )

For those of you who haven't seen MST3K, here's how it works: One guy and two robots are forced to watch crappy movies, and during the whole film you see their silhouettes and hear them throw hilarious remarks about the awful movie.

Invite a couple of friends, have a few beers, and you'll have a killer evening with MST3K!

In the not too distant future... lalala

Death Race 2000, not only because of Sylvester Stallone... I heard that Carmageddon games are based on this movie.

I'd go for this.

The Star Wars Holiday Special.
Not a lot of people know this, but there is another 'secret' star wars movie out there. George lucus tryed to have every copy destroyed, but one guy must have taped it, kept the video, and relesed in on the file-sharing networks.
Highlights inlude the first half hour is being in wookie, with no sub titles, itchy, and scratchy, chewies relatives, wookie porn, Gefferson Starship, and princess lea singing. You have to check it out...

I watch a lot of movies, including obscure ones. Of course I avoid mainstream Hollywood movies that I know I'm not going to like, but I still think it's interesting that the two worst movies I've ever seen don't come from Hollywood. And the two movies mentioned are: ... drumroll... Pola X and Waking Life. The funny thing about Waking Life is, I can imagine stupid Americans thinking how deep it is :)

more than 13% people think it is crap (awful)

Despite anything you may read in this article, it was dumb and annoying. A VERY close second is Masters of the Universe that destroyed any pleasant childhood memories I ever had of playing with He-Man toys.

I picked this one up at the local blockbuster on the way home from work about 10 years ago. It was BAD, but strangely I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.

It has a little of everything-
Exploding bums,
Gang rape by the homeless,
The severing of a bum's member then the subsequent game of keep away,
A creep getting his ass kicked by a cop, then puked on after having his head stuffed in a urinal.

Great stuff...

Cabin Fever was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It wasn't to be taken seriously you know...

Besides you havn't seen a bad movie until you've seen Mindstorm (aka Project Human Weapon).

Batman & Robin has to be the absolute worst movie ever. Sure there are similarly campy, idiotic movies out there, but the amount of money wasted in making this horrible movie makes it a bigger insult.

Tim Burton's Batman movies were cool. Joel Schumacher just totally ruined the franchise. When I saw Batman whip out his "Bat Credit Card" in the middle of some crazy rave party with dancing gorillas, that was the moment when it was clear that Batman had clearly jumped the shark.

The Barbarians (1987) is the only movie I ever walked out on.

This movie so bad it is truly painful to watch. It is ten times worse than the 1966 Batman movie.

The Wild World of Batwoman

"Plot Outline: The pointlessly-named Batwoman and her bevy of Batmaidens fight evil and dance."

Huh? ... fight evil and dance ?

Have a look at the IMDB bottom 100 and search for "police".

Bicentennial Man... the title sounds almost homo-erotic and lives up to it's name-- featuring robin williams as a very gay (or perhaps bi) robot.

You must have never seen the sequel.

It lacks in every category imaginable: overdone, boring, drawn out fights, CG that makes "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" look good, pointless character cameos, and the worst performance in the history of film by Brian Thompson as Shao Khan.

"Foolish... [searches for line he forgot mid-sentence] child! [Looks back at production crew, checking if they're going to cut or not] You sorely test my patience!"

or

"The Earth was created in six days! So tooooo, shall it be destroooooyed!!"

That much of a brain rot. The best part of the whole movie was Rose McGowen topless, but it couldn't make up for the rest of the utter crap.

blacula

No, but KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park is a real movie and is famously bad.

One wasnt as bad as 2, 3, 4 and the TV series on Sci-Fi. The first one was fun in a B-movie sorta way...

That IMDB list is pretty bogus; there are a bunch of films with three stars on average. Plan 9 doesn't even get a mention. Good to see Robocop 3 and Highlander 2 on the list, even though some people obviously gave both more than no stars.

My nomination for worst movie ever? Armageddon. Damn, I hated that movie so much. People talk about Plan 9 being bad, but this is worse. If Ed Wood had been given godzillions of dollars for special effects, he'd have produced Armageddon.

Of course, it's possible that we'll never know what the worst movies are, cos we'll never see them. But of those that we do see, I'm more forgiving of dubious b-movies; if you've no budget, you've got to make do with what you have. But if your budget stretches to paying an actual actor, we can be more demanding; when you've got Titanic-level budgets, you've got no fucking excuse.

In case you care, movies I saw recently that sucked include Godsend, Twisted and The Day After Tomorrow.

IMDb / Amazon

Perhaps the most hysterical movie ever [poorly] crafted. If you like kung fu movies, get your hands on a copy of this and prepare to laugh.

I'm surprised to see that Plan 9 From Outer Space was not on the IMDB bottom 100 list.

Granted it is a cult classic, but we must remember that Ed Wood did consider it a serious film, as he did with all of his films. Bad acting, directing, plot, staging, editing only add to it's glory as a horribe movie.

Ed Wood, king of bad movies!

Cherry 2000

Although "The Fifth Element" was almost as bad.

It's a tossup amongst three.

Darkness Falls. Should have been called Suckness Rises.

Cold Creek Manor. Great cast. Awful, awful, awful screenplay.

Strangeland. So bad (and not in a good-bad way), we tried to spare other renters the experience by hiding the DVD at Blockbuster. ;)
