Mr. Wrong starring Ellen Degeneres as a straight woman looking for the man of her dreams. Yeah. Fucking terrible.

[–] Anonymoose@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago

The Super Mario movie is probably top of the list. The jokes fell flat and the entire movie was just Nintendo references. I get it's a kid movie, but damn, Pixar knows how to make a movie for all ages. I guess I was hoping for the same.

The worst movie I ever saw in a cinema was a Milla Jovovic flick called Ultraviolet.

How bad was it, you ask. Well, I would have left the cinema but my girlfriend was sleeping soundly and I didn't want to disturb her. Honestly, people were just looking at each other after the movie was over, openly laughing and talking to strangers about how bad it was. You could say it was so bad that it brought people together over how awful it was, so that's nice.

[–] zaph@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I actually like that movie. The over the top action does it for me. I've seen it a handful of times.

Battlefield Earth.

Oscar (1991)

My wife and I walked out on that one. I can't understand how it got a 6.5 on IMDB.

[–] chickenwing@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I can't remember the worst movie I've seen at home. I've seen so many lol. The worst theater movie had to be the one missed call remake. I watched the original Japanese film later and realized the missed important plot points that were vital to the story. Also it was neutered from a R rated Takashi Miike film to a boring pg-13 horror film. On the bright side it introduced me to Takashi Miike and I've been a fan ever since.

This is an unconventional answer but stick with me:

The Bruce Willis Death Wish remake.

Movies are well known to have a so-bad-it’s-good factor. Aside from watching something made with passion fail, sometimes a failing movie can be mildly elevated by having an interesting choice or concept. Maybe a single actor who is really giving a go and creates a memorable scene.

Death Wish has none of that. It is a flatline of a movie. Nothing is ever done with passion, nor is it ever entertainingly incompetently. The entire movie is nothing but bare minimum technical competence. There are no bizarre plot twists, no unique action, no nothing. It simply exists.

Jeepers creepers :Reborn 2022 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a so bad it's good kinda movie but Blood Diner. It's an 80s horror flick me and a buddy found at blockbuster on vhs when we were younger. Shit was hilarious.

[–] ShoePaste@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes! Sheetar! That movie was a trip. There were so many odd choices, like wtf was up with the guy who is 100% puppet always sitting at the diner. I actually really like that band in the caveman getups at the end though and tracked them down. It's a guy name Dino Lee and he bills him self as "the king of white trash". I could only find one or two videos of them performing live and one record i picked up on diacogs for like $3.

[–] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lol I was hoping someone would chime in about that movie. Its pretty wild. I vividly remember the scene with the car bouncing up and down oj hydraulics smashed that guys head and me just laughing really hard at how ridiculous it looked.

All the way through? Gothica, starring Halle Berry. I was at a free screening and I still wanted my money back.

[–] Void_Reader@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sharktopus, bad in a fun kind of way though

[–] Muetzenman@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Tough question. But i think it's "in fabric". It's just weird stuff happening.

Virus Shark (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-aTRpXAP8A) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13785940/)

This movie is really really awful. ALL of the actors and actresses are so bad, it's not even good ironically. Just awful. I really don't mind B-Movies with a limited budget, as there are some out there, which are not bad. But this one in particular? The (badly made) rubber shark is a more convincing actor than any of the other protagonists of the movie. This movie is acted out so poorly that any movie you can watch on Sci-Fi are Hollywood quality in comparison. I dare you to watch the whole movie!

[–] TroopDupeScoop@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love terrible movies and have seen all sorts, but for my money the absolute worst I have seen is Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues. Absolutely nothing happens for the entire duration of the film until the last 5 minutes. The DVD I had claimed there was a "terrifying incident at the public lake", but it's just someone falling off a jetski and getting back on it.

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On the other hand, it did make for one of my favourite MST3K episodes

[–] TroopDupeScoop@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I did not know it was an MST3K episode! Might have to dare "watching" this "movie" again for it

[–] Moghul@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Mandy with Nicholas Cage takes the cake for me but it's so bad it's good. If I were going for just bad, it would probably have to be the last airbender movie...

Enemy with Jake Gyllenhaal is up there for me too, because FUCK that movie.

[–] been_jamming@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I remember seeing Mandy in theaters with my college dorm mates, and I will never forget how bizarre that experience was. I was in the mood for something more serious, but I should have known they would select something like that

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Nic Cage: "Mandy? I can do so much worse"

[–] lel@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think calling Mandy so bad it's good is a massive misread of what Mandy was trying to do. It's a funny, over-the-top movie at a lot of points, deliberately.
