* '''''Film/BallisticEcksVsSever''''' is a mindless action flick starring Creator/AntonioBanderas and Creator/LucyLiu -- both phoning it in hard -- as a pair of dueling secret agents. The main problems are that the story makes absolutely no sense (why are the FBI and DIA doing all of their work out of UsefulNotes/{{Vancouver}}?), and [[NeverTrustATitle the title is misleading]] - Ecks and Sever only have one brief fistfight, after which they actually ''team up'' to take down the BigBad partway through. The rest is simply a forgettable blur of shooting, fighting, [[StuffBlowingUp explosions]], SlowMotion cuts, and other action film clichés used to disguise ''Ballistic''[='s=] lack of actual substance. It was called the "Worst Movie of the Decade" by [[http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ballistic_ecks_vs_sever/ Rotten Tomatoes]], beating such atrocities as ''Film/{{Gigli}}'', ''Film/DisasterMovie'', and ''Film/AloneInTheDark2005'' (all of which are listed here) and has the dubious distinction of being the worst-rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes ''by far'', with an atrocious 0% (and a score of 2.6/10) based on 116 reviews. When a movie's outclassed by its '''UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance [[LicensedGame tie-in game]]''' (based on an earlier and far better version of the script, [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames getting very high praise]] from even ''Magazine/NintendoPower''), you know it's failed. Just read [[https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/ballistic-ecks-vs-sever-2002 Roger Ebert's review]] of the movie, as it's some of his finest work. The DVD has no blurbs of positive reviews, meaning that there were neither positive reviews nor phrases in the reviews that could be [[QuoteMine twisted to look positive]], so Creator/WarnerBros resorted to describing one of the scenes in the movie to make it seem interesting. Watch [[WebVideo/ReactionAndReview Emer Prevost]] tear into it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNL3GEoOLtA here]] and ''WebVideo/CinematicExcrement'' do the same [[https://vimeo.com/115319105/ here]].

Fixing a sinkhole


* '''''476 A.D. Chapter One: The Last Light of Aries''''' is a film written, directed by, and starring Croatian "artist" Ivan Pavletic. The film is [[MindScrew apparently]] about the fall of Rome, though you wouldn't know it if not for the expository text at the beginning and the costumes. The film is rife with bad acting and StockFootage in addition to nothing but transition shots - 90% of the film consists of so much dizzying, spinning, and clashing stock footage that [[NauseaFuel you're bound to last 5 minutes before running to the toilet]]. There are a good 10 minutes of content in a ''74-minute movie''. The costumes are hilariously cheap-looking and [[SpecialEffectFailure the chroma-key is even worse]], ''even for a low-budget film''. The audio editing sounds as if the actors recorded their dialogue in a decompression chamber. Even worse, it's unclear exactly what the message of the film is, or the purpose. And it's only a ''part one''. Worse yet, director Ivan Pavletic has proven himself to be extremely immature, [[SmallNameBigEgo with a huge ego]] and [[CantTakeCriticism an inability to take criticism]], even going so far as to send threatening messages to Website/YouTube profiles who have given clips even slight criticisms, and apparently seems to be paranoid that people are trying to get him. Watch the film on [=YouTube=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNu-7lAwJEo here]], if you dare.

* '''''Aag''''' ("Fire"), an unauthorized remake of the 1975 UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} classic ''Film/{{Sholay}}''. Despite boasting a strong cast with stars such as Creator/AmitabhBachchan and Mohanlal, this 2007 remake fails to carry and update, let alone understand, the conventions and the social commentary found in the original movie. Among the plethora of problems that plague the film are careless direction, horrid acting, poor attempts at trying to attract youth audiences with TotallyRadical dialogue, laughable editing, excessively slow pacing, and terrible music. A far cry from the box-office and critical phenomenon that was ''Sholay'', ''Aag'' only grossed 112.5 million rupees (then around $2.6 million US) total at the box office, making it one of the most disastrous {{Box Office Bomb}}s in Bollywood history. ''Aag'' was also torn to shreds by critics and audiences alike: the film has a paltry 1.4 on Website/IMDb, and FHM India placed it first in a list of the 57 worst movies ever made. Not even the film's stars defend the movie, with Amitabh Bachchan admitting that [[CreatorBacklash taking the role in the remake was a mistake]].

* '''''Airplane Mode''''' is a 2019 comedy film written by and starring the infamous Creator/LoganPaul, which has the AllStarCast of your favorite Website/{{YouTube}}rs and Website/{{Vine}}rs going to Australia for a social media convention and trying to prevent their airplane flight from crashing after idiotically refusing to turn on airplane mode on their devices, causing the airplane's systems to malfunction, which kills off the pilots. This sounds like the comedy classic ''Film/{{Airplane}}'', which ''Airplane Mode'' uses tropes from, but 25 times worse. The amateur acting of the [=YouTubers=] is terrible and [[SpecialEffectsFailure the special effects look fake]]. The story is very shallow and all the humor there is to make up for it consists of screaming, BlackComedy and VulgarHumor which are badly delivered and aren't funny at all, unlike ''Airplane!''[[note]]Examples include a doctor vomiting on young Logan's exposed fracture, a girl making out with her ''[[ParentalIncest father]]'', 2 CGI termites mating, a co-pilot named Penis, and a random male passenger trying to breastfeed someone else's baby[[/note]], offensive humor[[note]]such as a TSA agent saying "I have 911 reasons not to trust him" to an Arab passenger, an overly CampGay and sexualized flight attendant, him and another gay man [[DepravedHomosexual trying to hit on Logan much to his revulsion]], and Logan being able to read gay people's [[{{Telepathy}} minds]][[/note]], and dated references. Overall, regardless of all of the edginess, ''Airplane Mode'' feels like an 80-minute-long Vine with no real purpose. The film received many negative user reviews on [=iMDb=] and Website/{{Letterboxd}}, and the only professional critic who could review it [[https://crookedmarquee.com/review-airplane-mode/ gave it a D+]].

* Even among [[TheMockbuster mockbusters]], '''''Film/TheAmazingBulk''''' (you'll never guess [[Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008 what]] this is trying to capitalize on) is an incredible failure. With an [=IMDb=] [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1788453/ user score of 2.0 from over 600 viewers]] and barely any presence elsewhere, SpecialEffectFailure and [[CreatorsApathy not caring (as the director's commentary attests to)]] are the orders of the day, with the entire thing being filmed [[ChromaKey in front of a single green screen]]. The backgrounds on said green screen often appear at angles opposite to those of the actors (such as a worm's-eye view of a street while the actors are filmed at an eye-level shot), there are no shadows, and "movement" is just the actors jogging in place, making it incredibly glaring that nobody's really in a given background. The Bulk itself is animated crudely, is an incredibly obvious CG effect, and resembles a slack-jawed purple gorilla (or a fat, buck-naked ComicBook/{{Thanos}}) more than [[CoversAlwaysLie what the actually-rather-cool cover would have you believe]]. What ''really'' sets it apart from the rest, however, is that almost every transition and effect beside the green screen and the Bulk ''[[OffTheShelfFX is a stock effect you can find on the internet]]''. ''And the movie was written around these.'' This results in a plot riddled with [[PlotHole holes]], things just happening for no reason, clipart gifs in the same shot as live-action actors, and jarring scenery shifts. For instance, you have real characters appearing in a cartoonish garden one minute, then going to a realistic library the next. The last 15 minutes [[GainaxEnding throws all coherence out the window]] as [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext aliens, goblins, flying dogs and the like show up suddenly]], then the Bulk [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHjhdFh2oso runs through several cartoony environments (despite the earlier attempt at being realistic) past all sorts of stock 3D clipart animations that don't fit with anything that came before (such as Robin Hood, Zeus, and a lizard on a laptop)]] and then the film just ''stops''. Even weirder? Although the director claims it's this way due to [[NoBudget a small budget]] (of $12,000), people from Creator/RobertRodriguez (who made ''Film/ElMariachi'' on just over half this film's budget) to folks on Website/YouTube have made far better products on next to nothing. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking What's more, it missed the]] ''[[Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008 Hulk]]'' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking train by two-to-five years]]. [[Creator/AllisonPregler Obscurus Lupa]] [[http://phelous.com/2012/07/30/obscurus-lupa/obscurus-lupa-presents/olp-the-amazing-bulk/ had a field day with that]], and WebVideo/IHateEverything [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE7I5mPHsSU suffered through the madness as part of "The Search For The Worst"]].

* '''''American Ninja V''''' (or ''American Dragons'', depending on what cable channel you watched it on) is an in-name-only sequel to the ''Film/AmericanNinja'' series known for only three things: 1) being the only film in the series to be rated PG-13, 2) being the first in the series to be an action-"comedy", and 3) killing the ''American Ninja'' franchise (despite not having anything to do with the other four movies). It's currently on Website/IMDb's bottom 100 with a score of 2.4/10.
* '''''Film/AnAlanSmitheeFilmBurnHollywoodBurn''''' is a 1998 mockumentary where Creator/EricIdle plays the titular AlanSmithee, who steals the original negative for the fictional big-budget action film that he's directing, ''Trio'', starring Creator/SylvesterStallone, Creator/WhoopiGoldberg and Creator/JackieChan, threatening to destroy it after being dissatisfied with its recut. Sounds like a pretty good premise to a movie that's a satire on Hollywood, right? Unfortunately, this movie's potential is undermined by crass jokes, slow pacing, the "tell, don't show" attitude regarding ''Trio'' and Smithee's motivations, and tons of inconsistency; critics heap praise on ''Trio'' even though the prints were never put out. It doesn't even work as satire, and its soundtrack only contributed to its nine [[UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward Razzie]] nominations [[note]]Sometimes considered 10, since both Joe Eszterhas and Sylvester Stallone were nominated for 'Worst Supporting Actor', with Eszterhas winning [[/note]] and five wins. The movie made just over .5% of its budget at the box office, and critics slammed the movie, with an 8% score on Website/RottenTomatoes, 2.7/10 on Website/IMDb, and zero stars from Creator/RogerEbert. Director Arthur Hiller (who was credited under the AlanSmithee pseudonym) and Eric Idle [[CreatorBacklash have since disowned the film]], and it ended up [[CreatorKiller destroying not just the careers]] of Hiller, writer Joe Eszterhas, and Creator/CinergiPictures, but the notion of AlanSmithee, retired as a name in 2000. [[WebVideo/CinematicExcrement Smeghead]] tears it apart [[https://youtu.be/bn71vQtWOzo here]] as part of his Razzie marathon, and ''Series/SiskelAndEbert'' talk about the movie [[https://youtu.be/zzm5svmI0zc here]].
* '''''Apartment 1303 3D''''' is a 2012 remake of a Japanese film of the same name but without any of the positive elements of the original. The film is [[ClicheStorm a collection of ghost movie clichés]] with predictable twists and {{Jump Scare}}s that work mildly at best and fall flat at worst. The 3D itself is useless most of the time. Not even horror fans and critics found anything redeeming in it, and the general opinion is easily summed up by [[http://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/apartment-1303-uk-blu-ray-dvd Gareth Jones' review]] on ''Dread Central'', in which the film is described as "bereft of interesting characters, dialogue, acting ability, scares, visual aplomb or much of anything else". Many also complained about the waste of Creator/RebeccaDeMornay's talent. It currently holds a dismal 3% on Website/RottenTomatoes and a 4.1/10 on Website/IMDb.
* '''''Film/TheApparition''''' is a terrible 2012 horror movie that wastes the talents of actors including Creator/SebastianStan, Creator/TomFelton, and Creator/AshleyGreene. When a couple played by Stan and Greene move into a house, they begin to notice strange occurrences that are eventually revealed to be caused by an apparition summoned by an experiment years earlier. This somewhat-interesting premise is [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot wasted]] by the fact that the film is [[ClicheStorm an uninspired mix of horror movie clichés]], including many poor attempts at {{Jump Scare}}s [[NightmareRetardant that aren't scary in the slightest]], together with poor acting from a naturally good cast, making it really ''boring'' to watch. The film received harsh reviews from critics and audiences alike, with a 3% on Website/RottenTomatoes and a 4.1 on Website/IMDb, and it [[BoxOfficeBomb failed at the box office]], grossing only $4.9 million domestically and $9.6 million worldwide against a budget of $17 million. WebVideo/ChrisStuckmann tears it apart [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwnvDdAqht4 here]], and he later named it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl4o780Hohw his 3rd-worst film of 2012]].

* In 2000, Creator/KimBasinger followed up her 1997 UsefulNotes/AcademyAward victory (for ''Film/LAConfidential'') with '''''Film/BlessTheChild'''''. This film [[StarDerailingRole torpedoed her prospects as a leading lady of films]]. Perhaps the first red flag is that ''Bless the Child'' was {{not screened for critics}} by Creator/{{Paramount}}. The film tries very hard to be a {{Supernatural|Fiction}} ReligiousHorror film (à la ''Film/TheOmen''). But, it fails every step of the way, from the [[ClicheStorm clichéd]], [[ForegoneConclusion predictable]] storyline to the [[NightmareRetardant ridiculously limp non-scares]], most of them {{jump scare}}s, to the [[RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic awkward dialogue]] to Basinger's [[DullSurprise emotionally sterile]] performance. The plot is full of [[PlotHole holes]] and [[{{Anvilicious}} heavy-handed]] [[AsTheGoodBookSays Bible allusions]], with many characters [[TheMainCharactersDoEverything just being there to make her character, Maggie O'Connor, look good by comparison.]] Not that Maggie herself is [[IdiotBall particularly intelligent throughout,]] mind you. Even worse are the {{special effect|Failure}}s--no effort is taken to hide the CaliforniaDoubling, the spirits take the shape of glowing lights, and a roomful of rats looks like a scene from a cartoon. [[BoxOfficeBomb The film made $40 million against a $65 million budget]], got a 3% rating on Website/RottenTomatoes, and scored 17/100 on Metacritic.

* In 2000, Creator/KimBasinger followed up her 1997 UsefulNotes/AcademyAward victory (for ''Film/LAConfidential'') with '''''Film/BlessTheChild'''''. This film [[StarDerailingRole torpedoed her prospects as a leading lady of films]]. Perhaps the first red flag is that ''Bless the Child'' was {{not screened for critics}} by Creator/{{Paramount}}. The film tries very hard to be a {{Supernatural|Fiction}} ReligiousHorror film (à la ''Film/TheOmen''). But, it fails every step of the way, from the [[ClicheStorm clichéd]], [[ForegoneConclusion predictable]] storyline to the [[NightmareRetardant ridiculously limp non-scares]], most of them {{jump scare}}s, to the [[RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic awkward dialogue]] to Basinger's [[DullSurprise emotionally sterile]] performance. The plot is full of [[PlotHole holes]] and [[{{Anvilicious}} heavy-handed]] [[AsTheGoodBookSays Bible allusions]], with many characters [[TheMainCharactersDoEverything just being there to make her character, Maggie O'Connor, look good by comparison.]] Not that Maggie herself is [[IdiotBall particularly intelligent throughout,]] mind you. Even worse are the {{special effect|Failure}}s--no effort is taken to hide the CaliforniaDoubling, the spirits take the shape of glowing lights, and a roomful of rats looks like a scene from a cartoon. [[BoxOfficeBomb The film made $40 million against a $65 million budget]], got a 3% rating on Website/RottenTomatoes, Rotten Tomatoes, and scored 17/100 on Metacritic. Basinger was nominated for a UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward but "lost" to Music/{{Madonna}} in ''The Next Best Thing''.

* '''''Film/BookOfShadowsBlairWitch2''''' is a case study in how ExecutiveMeddling can [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot completely derail a promising idea]]. While ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject'' is undoubtedly a polarizing film, those who liked it loved it, and few will doubt its place in the horror canon or the massive pop culture phenomenon that it became. And Joe Berlinger, the filmmaker (best known for TrueCrime documentaries) who was tapped to create the inevitable sequel, had some pretty interesting ideas for it, writing a film steeped in [[{{Postmodernism}} metatextual satire]] that was fundamentally about that phenomenon and how people reacted to the original film. The studio, however, had other plans, and the resulting clashes between their visions-Berlinger wanting to make a more PsychologicalHorror film about mass hysteria and the studio wanting a more traditional supernatural horror film about a WickedWitch-turned the film into an incomprehensible mess. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Scenes that have no bearing on the plot]] are awkwardly shoehorned in, the editing makes the story difficult to follow, it can't be certain whether ''anything'' shown on screen was real, and the clues left throughout the film [[PlotHole paint a confused, contradictory portrait]] of just what the hell actually happened. While the film all but made back its budget in its opening weekend, it met scathing reviews and crashed hard after that, and it quickly earned a reputation as one of the worst horror sequels in history. Its Website/IMDb score stands at a pitiful 4.0, and what defenders the film has largely mourn WhatCouldHaveBeen rather than actually describe the theatrical cut as a good movie, holding out hope for a [[ReCut director's cut]]. [[WebVideo/CinematicExcrement Smeghead]], naturally, has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNW7D6uzaoU taken a crack at it.]] WebVideo/GoodBadFlicks [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAkmHSzUIHQ went into just how badly the film was screwed over]].

* '''''Film/CaptainAmerica1990''''' has garnered a reputation as being one of the worst superhero movies ever made, and for good reason. It was made on a budget of $10 million, and [[SpecialEffectFailure it shows]] in the worst ways possible, with awful editing ([[https://youtu.be/fuCs8xXVsxE&t=2m59s one fight sequence]] features rapid {{Jump Cut}}s that occur over the course of a few ''seconds'', presumably trying to mask the [[FightSceneFailure poorly-executed fight choreography]]). In addition, the writing is incompetent (for instance, the US president sends ''one man'' to help Cap for no good reason), the acting is hokey (with Matt Salinger, who played the titular character, being the only one to give [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously a genuinely compelling performance]]), and a lot of Cap's fight scenes end with him [[FailureHero being defeated or else being forced to run away]]. The film was panned by critics and audiences alike (it has an 8% rating on Website/RottenTomatoes and a 3.3 rating on Website/{{IMDb}}), and wound up a flop, grossing only around $10,000. Fortunately for Cap, he got a much better [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger reboot]] in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, with [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier more]] [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar acclaimed]] films afterwards.

* '''''Film/Catwoman2004''''' is a special kind of bad (quote WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, "the kind of bad that the main characters from ''Film/TheProducers'' would put together [[SpringtimeForHitler as an intentional flop to cash in on some sort of money scheme]]"). Not only is it [[InNameOnly completely unfaithful to the source material]] (right down to Catwoman's alter ego being named "[[AdaptationNameChange Patience]]" and not Selina Kyle), it's just downright '''boring'''. The plot (if you can call it that) is about Catwoman trying to stop an evil ''cosmetics company'' from releasing an indestructible makeup that can damage the skin if it's not continually applied. And if that weren't bad enough, the acting is [[DullSurprise wooden]], the writing choices are ''bizarre'' (Creator/HalleBerry rubs her face with catnip in one scene), the villains are cartoony and the special effects are [[SpecialEffectFailure horrendously bad]]. Makes you wonder why the producers even decided to salvage it from DevelopmentHell. It currently stands at a 9% on Website/RottenTomatoes and a 3.3 out of 10 on Website/IMDb, failing to recoup its $100 million budget. The film earned seven UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward nominations and won four for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Actress for Berry, who accepted it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-7s_yeQuDg by poking fun at the film]]. Pitof has only directed a TV movie since then, while Berry and Creator/SharonStone fell from the A-list. Along with contemporary ''Film/{{Elektra}}'', it killed any potential female-led comic book films for more than a decade until ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'' and ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'' finally proved they could be successful. It's also notable as a rare film whose official trailer doesn't feature a single line of dialogue after a leak of the initial version was mocked to hell and back. You can also watch it being mocked by WebVideo/TheBlockbusterBuster ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjJrGYSEnmE here]]), [[WebVideo/LeeAndDena Dena Natali]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkYWIRwNIhU here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbYs1EPk_-U here]]), WebVideo/CinematicExcrement ([[http://vimeo.com/108692496 here]]), [[WebVideo/YourMovieSucksDotOrg Adum & Pals]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0jxf54pqiQ here]]) and the Nostalgia Critic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaFInK3o4iY here.]].

* '''''Film/DancinItsOn''''' could easily give ''Film/FromJustinToKelly'' a run for its money in terms of being one of the worst dancing-themed romance flicks of all time. Rich girl Jennifer falls in love with Ken, a dancing dishwasher, at the hotel managed by Jennifer's father. The two have a [[ClicheStorm bog-standard romance]] which leads to a dance competition. Said father doesn't approve of Ken, and Ken is caught in a LoveTriangle with his existing dance partner [[AerithAndBob Shotsy]] (who has an unrequited love for him) and Danny (a bellhop hired by Jennifer's dad to drive a wedge between the leads by dating Jennifer and convincing her that Ken and Shotsy are a couple). What could have been mediocre at worst is made awful for many reasons. First, the leads Witney Carson and Chehon Wespi-Tschopp [[NonActorVehicle had no acting experience]] before this movie, being contestants on ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'' and ''Series/SoYouThinkYouCanDance'' respectively, (Wespi-Tschopp has not appeared in anything since, while Carson's only other notable role is becoming the LovelyAssistant on the game show ''Series/Catch21'' after it was UnCanceled in 2019). The writing is all over the place, with awkward and {{narm}}tastic lines, and the editing is confusing (at one point, the movie hard cuts to a war scene to explain David Winters' character's motivation for mentoring Ken). Many secondary characters come in and out so randomly and jarringly that their appearances stand out, including an [[EthnicScrappy annoying African-American doorman]] at the hotel who calls himself "The Captain" and appears only to spout "wise" and "witty" advice. It also has downright abysmal production values: the title card appears for ''half a second'', the lighting is all over the place, and for whatever unknown reason ''the entire movie'' has [[HongKongDub absolutely terrible ADR]]. The film grossed only $27,000 [[BoxOfficeBomb against an estimated budget of $13 million]], Website/{{IMDb}} users gave it 3.0, and the only mainstream critics who bothered to review the movie were uniformly negative.

WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic tears this movie apart with help from Creator/MasakoX and Creator/LittleKuriboh [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV312ljwD2M here.]] WebVideo/PossumReviews, who has admitted that his knowledge of the franchise is limited, reviews it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpDWG15fIuk&t=1825s here]]. It is currently #2 on the [=AlloCine=] list of the 100 worst movies, being only as of 2016 dethroned by the French film ''Pédale Dure''. Perhaps the one good thing about this film is that Toriyama [[DisownedAdaptation hated it so much]] it convinced him to return to the franchise and continue it on his own terms, and one of the reasons he made ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'' was out of spite for it.



* '''''Ed''''' is a supposed baseball comedy made to capitalize on both the "family monkey movie" trend of the mid-90s and the rising fame of ''Series/{{Friends}}'' star Creator/MattLeBlanc.

* '''''Film/FantasticFour2015''''' (otherwise known as ''[[Letters2Numbers Fant4stic]]'') has all the hallmarks of an AshcanCopy... except for the part where they released it. Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox made this just to keep the rights from lapsing back to Marvel Studios and put Creator/JoshTrank in the director's chair for his work in ''Film/{{Chronicle}}'', despite the fact that Trank didn't want to make a traditional superhero movie. By the time they took it off his hands completely, the production was in shambles, and it shows. The script is plagued with poor pacing and characterization, including a plot full of {{Aborted Arc}}s. The cast of up-and-coming stars gives lifeless performances--even ComicBook/DoctorDoom, or rather, the generic villain [[InNameOnly given that name]], verges on ColdHam. The special effects start out [[SpecialEffectFailure on par with actual ashcan copies]] and only go downhill from there. Worst of all, the movie throws out the lighthearted charm of the source material in favor of [[RealIsBrown grime-colored]] [[DarkerAndEdgier misery porn]]. Throw in a [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot squandered]] moment of Creator/DavidCronenberg-esque BodyHorror and the occasional bad joke, and you have a recipe for disaster. ''[=Fant4stic=]'' ended up with a 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a 4.3 on Website/{{IMDb}}, and Golden Raspberries for Worst Picture (alongside ''Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey''), Worst Director, and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel. Fox wound up [[BoxOfficeBomb out over $80 million]], Josh Trank wound up out of a job (with his next film, ''Film/{{Capone}}'', [[DirectToVideo released to video-on-demand]]), and all other parties are trying to stay out of the picture. Also, four years later, 20th Century Fox got bought out by Disney, who owns Marvel Studios, meaning [[AllForNothing it even failed at the one thing it exists for]]. WebVideo/ChrisStuckmann [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo5NETEV0S0 covered the movie]], as did Creator/LadyJess & WebVideo/TheRapCritic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0sNmcajBeE here]].

* In 2004, [[InNameOnly what could be charitably called]] an adaptation of the English comic strip '''''Film/FatSlags''''' was released. Not long after seeing it, the strip's creator allegedly underwent CreatorBreakdown and threatened to [[FranchiseKiller discontinue the strip]] (though in the end, he settled for having another artist draw it for a few months). ''ComicBook/{{Viz}}'' had no executive control, which ''might'' not have been as bad if it was clear anyone involved had read the strip, or that those who did even cared. The film relies mainly on VulgarHumor and ToiletHumour, which fall flat. Barring that, there are the many crude parodies, the desperate attempts to appeal to the RuleOfFunny, the clear lack of budget (Sandra and Tracy's fatsuits are blatantly-padded body-stockings), the [[OopNorth ridiculous stereotypes]], the clichéd, disjointed plot, and the ham-fisted CharacterDevelopment. It holds an average score of 1.7 on Website/{{IMDb}}.

* '''''Film/FearDotCom''''' was a desperate attempt to make a film [[FollowTheLeader in the style of the Japanese remake fad of the mid-2000s]].

* '''''Film/TheFog2005''''', [[TheRemake remake]] of ''Film/TheFog1980'' is often cited as one of the worst horror remakes in history, with a 4% on Website/RottenTomatoes and a 3.6 on Website/IMDb, and it's not hard to see why. While the 1980 original by Creator/JohnCarpenter is a CultClassic, this film does virtually nothing right. [[SpecialEffectFailure Terrible and overused special effects]] that look like they were pulled from a video game from that time do nothing to build tension, only producing some death scenes that border on [[{{Narm}} the laughable]]. The entire cast was clearly picked mainly for their looks and the fact that they were on popular TV shows at the time, all of them turning in DullSurprise performances and making [[TooDumbToLive hilariously stupid decisions]]. Finally, it ends on a GainaxEnding that contradicts many of the events of the film and produces more problems than it fills. It effectively [[CreatorKiller killed the career]] of director Rupert Wainwright (who previously made ''Film/{{Stigmata}}'' and ''Film/BlankCheck'' and has only done short films and television since), and [[StarDerailingRole derailed]] Tom Welling's career outside of ''Series/{{Smallville}}''.

* '''''Film/FunInBalloonLand''''' is less of a movie and more of an hour-long presentation for a below-subpar balloon parade. The "plot" of this 1965 movie is as follows: A little boy named Sonny falls asleep whilst being read a bedtime story and is magicked away to Balloon Land. The acting is nonexistent, the choreography of the dance scenes is awful, and whenever the balloons interact with the child actors it's clearly someone off-camera reading the lines in [[DullSurprise a bored-sounding voice]], and the balloons themselves [[UnintentionalUncannyValley look]] [[{{Gonk}} absolutely]] [[AccidentalNightmareFuel horrifying]], ''despite'' the fact that [[SugarBowl the film has a happy tone]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids that seems to have been geared towards young children]]. Most of the dialogue is inaudible due to being so poorly recorded and makes what is happening impossible to follow, and the two balloons that actually ''move'' as characters are [[ValuesDissonance two grotesquely caricatured Native Americans]]. Then 20 minutes in, what little plot there is [[NoEnding suddenly stops]], and what follows is painful stock footage of the 1964 Philadelphia Thanksgiving balloon parade, which goes on for over 40 minutes and exists merely to pad out the running length, with commentary delivered by a woman who sounds like she's either stoned out of her mind or suffering a psychotic breakdown (or both). When the film finally ends, it uses the same clip as its opening. The film was so bad and obscure that only a DVD release by Something Weird made people discover it, leading to WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob reacting with horror [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMGJ9TDFXiY in his review]], Podcast/RiffTrax showing [[https://youtu.be/367s4wCap1I?t=679 shock in their commentary]], and Website/{{IMDb}} users grading it 1.1 out of 10.

* '''''Film/AChristmasStory [[NumberedSequel 2]]''''', a direct-to-video sequel to the 1983 classic, was made in 2012, [[SequelGap 29 years after the first]], with none of the original cast (understandably). The main problem is that all of the jokes are rehashed from the original film in one way or another - for example, the [[SignatureScene famous scene]] in the original movie where Flick gets his tongue stuck on a frozen metal pole is reenacted as a teenage Flick [[TooDumbToLive deciding to stick his tongue in a vacuum tube]] while working in a mail office (and we get a GrossUpCloseUp of it, too!).

And to add insult to injury, Warner Bros. themselves would later send this film into CanonDiscontinuity by making a more direct (and better received) sequel, ''Film/AChristmasStoryChristmas'', with Creator/PeterBillingsley returning as Ralphie.

* '''''Christmas in Wonderland''''' is a 2007 Christmas movie with an AllStarCast, apparently no script, and exists solely to piss off the entire population of Edmonton and Canada in its sight. Its main selling point is that 90% of it was shot in West Edmonton Mall (formerly the world's largest) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada... yet when it's not being a 100-minute commercial for said mall, it's trying to justify its plot by relying on the main characters being ten times as moronic as families in average family Christmas films. To make a list of all its inconsistencies would be writing a list as long as the script itself - for example, the opening credits are supposed to be in Los Angeles, yet it's obviously shot in Strathcoma in Edmonton. The two boys apparently hate Canada, yet they have strong [[CanadaEh Canadian accents]]. Furthermore, the mall itself is made to look like a magical palace on the exterior, with puke-worthy results. That's only the beginning. The film's an insult to Edmonton and Canada, and the one cinema in the mall that showed it in 2007 dropped it after a week because it's so bad. And boy, Creator/PatrickSwayze looked horrible; this is not a film you'd want to remember him by. The fact that in this movie, there is no snow anywhere in Edmonton at Christmas sums up how little they cared.

* What ''Devilman'' is to the East, '''''Film/DragonballEvolution''''' is, without a doubt, to the west.

* The 2004 film adaptation of '''''Franchise/{{Devilman}}''''' is infamous for being one of the worst live-action adaptations of an anime or manga, even by the notoriously low standards of such films. The movie's plot is rendered incoherent due to [[CompressedAdaptation cramming the entire five-volume manga series into a two-hour film]] and the pacing is a mess (to name a few examples, it takes ten minutes for the main plot to even begin and pivotal scenes from the manga such as the fight with Jinmen are over in a few minutes). The fight scenes are [[FightSceneFailure dull and poorly choreographed]] and the acting is [[DullSurprise wooden and emotionless]], with the acting of lead stars Hisato and Yusuke Izaka (both twin brothers and [[NonActorVehicle J-pop singers]]) being universally panned as [[QuestionableCasting miscast]] in the lead roles of Akira and Ryo. Despite the film's budget of ¥5,200,000,000 (equivalent to over $49,000,000 USD adjusted for inflation as of 2019), the production values are shockingly poor, with sets being reused for various locations and the CGI special effects [[SpecialEffectsFailure looking cheap and unconvincing]] even for the time. Predictably, the film was universally condemned by critics and audiences alike, [[MedalOfDishonor "winning"]] an award for Worst Picture at the Bunshun Kiichigo Awards and [[http://hakaiya.com/best/zerw/top10.html topping a poll as the worst Japanese movie of the 2000s]].

With all this in mind, it's no surprise why the film has a paltry 4.0/10 on [=IMDb=], was named among [[https://youtu.be/xMg0P2M5WXc?t=301 the top ten worst anime live-action adaptations]] by WebVideo/{{WatchMojo}}, and declared the worst ever live-action anime movie by [[https://youtu.be/0XaiIW8WPyE TitanGoji]], who even went as far as to unfavorably compare it to fellow Horrible entry ''Film/DragonballEvolution''.

* '''''Film/DancinItsOn''''' could easily give ''Film/FromJustinToKelly'' a run for its money in terms of being one of the worst dancing-themed romance flicks of all time. Rich girl Jennifer falls in love with Ken, a dancing dishwasher, at the hotel managed by Jennifer's father. The two have a [[ClicheStorm bog-standard romance]] which leads to a dance competition. Said father doesn't approve of Ken, and Ken is caught in a LoveTriangle with his existing dance partner [[AerithAndBob Shotsy]] (who has an unrequited love for him) and Danny (a bellhop hired by Jennifer's dad to drive a wedge between the leads by dating Jennifer and convincing her that Ken and Shotsy are a couple). What could have been mediocre at worst is made awful for many reasons. First, the leads Witney Carson and Chehon Wespi-Tschopp were contestants on ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'' and ''Series/SoYouThinkYouCanDance'' respectively, which means neither are actually ''actors'' (Wespi-Tschopp has not appeared in anything since, while Carson's only other notable role is becoming the LovelyAssistant on the game show ''Series/Catch21'' after it was UnCanceled in 2019). The writing is all over the place, with awkward and {{narm}}tastic lines, and the editing is confusing (at one point, the movie hard cuts to a war scene to explain David Winters' character's motivation for mentoring Ken). Many secondary characters come in and out so randomly and jarringly that their appearances stand out, including an [[EthnicScrappy annoying African-American doorman]] at the hotel who calls himself "The Captain" and appears only to spout "wise" and "witty" advice. It also has downright abysmal production values: the title card appears for ''half a second'', the lighting is all over the place, and for whatever unknown reason ''the entire movie'' has [[HongKongDub absolutely terrible ADR]]. The film grossed only $27,000 [[BoxOfficeBomb against an estimated budget of $13 million]], Website/{{IMDb}} users gave it 3.0, and the only mainstream critics who bothered to review the movie were uniformly negative. Watch Creator/BradJones tear it apart on ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n434qVTPtU here]] and again as WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOcQS039EQk here]].

* '''''Film/BloodOrgyOfTheSheDevils''''' is a film that directly insults its [[GoryDeadlyOverkillTitleOfFatalDeath awesome title]]. Despite claims of Satanic debauchery, nothing really happens.

Add to that a wholly unnecessary flashback to the days of torture-happy witch hunters (one of whom [[WTHCostumingDepartment wears a modern cut-off shirt]]) that is somehow tamer than the rest of the film, and this snoozefest deserves its 2.7 [=IMDb=] rating. Watch Dark Corners Reviews tackle the film [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l5TWXaIrjw here]].

* '''''Film/AnAlanSmitheeFilmBurnHollywoodBurn''''' is a 1998 mockumentary where Creator/EricIdle plays the titular AlanSmithee, who steals the original negative for the fictional big-budget action film that he's directing, ''Trio'', starring Creator/SylvesterStallone, Creator/WhoopiGoldberg and Creator/JackieChan, threatening to destroy it after being dissatisfied with its recut. Sounds like a pretty good premise to a movie that's a satire on Hollywood, right? Unfortunately, this movie's potential is undermined by crass jokes, slow pacing, the "tell, don't show" attitude regarding ''Trio'' and Smithee's motivations, and tons of inconsistency; critics heap praise on ''Trio'' even though the prints were never put out. It doesn't even work as satire, and its soundtrack only contributed to its nine [[UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward Razzie]] nominations [[note]]Sometimes considered 10, since both Joe Eszterhas and Sylvester Stallone were nominated for 'Worst Supporting Actor', with Eszterhas winning [[/note]] and five wins. The movie made just over .5% of its budget at the box office, and critics slammed the movie, with an 8% score on Website/RottenTomatoes, 2.7/10 on Website/IMDb, and zero stars from Creator/RogerEbert. Director Arthur Hiller (who was credited under the AlanSmithee pseudonym) and Eric Idle [[CreatorBacklash have since disowned the film]], and it ended up [[CreatorKiller destroying not just the careers]] of Hiller, writer Joe Eszterhas, and Cinergi Pictures, but the notion of AlanSmithee, retired as a name in 2000. [[WebVideo/CinematicExcrement Smeghead]] tears it apart [[https://youtu.be/bn71vQtWOzo here]] as part of his Razzie marathon, and ''Series/SiskelAndEbert'' talk about the movie [[https://youtu.be/zzm5svmI0zc here]].

* '''''Box Office 3D''''' was announced to be a breakthrough in the Italian film industry, being their first venture into the then-new stereoscopic 3D technology, and the newest work by director Ezio Greggio in a decade (who is famous for being a showman for Mediaset, presenter for ''Striscia la Notizia'' and ''Paperissima'', and for shooting a bunch of [[SoOkayItsAverage rather passable]] films with fellow comedian Creator/MelBrooks). It was presented at the 2011 Venice International Film Festival and, needless to say, everyone was outraged by its substandard production and low-brow humour, which consisted mostly of jokes that were already out of date ''in the early 1980s'', with most of them rehashed from ''Paperissima''. The film is a collection of loosely connected film parodies in which the source materials are treated in ways [[ShallowParody that not even]] Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg [[{{Flanderization}} would ever attempt]]. Characters barely represent their original selves (for example, [[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy Lisbeth Salander]] is portrayed as an overblown caricature of a drug addict, and [[Literature/HarryPotter Hermione Granger]] has been degraded to a sex object that [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Frodo Baggins]] wants to hit), the jokes either have a horrible setup or have bad or no punchlines, [[NarrowParody references to contemporary reality shows]] and stale jokes pandering to soccer fans are shoehorned in for no reason, and shameless self-referential humour is overabundant. It has {{questionable casting}} choices, including but not limited to the likes of Luca Giurato, Anna Falchi, Bruno Pizzul, Aldo Biscardi, and ''Creator/GinaLollobrigida''. There are no 3D effects ''[[NonIndicativeName despite having "3D" right in the title]]'', except for [[SpecialEffectFailure a badly rendered cat flying towards the screen in one scene]]. Despite having a respectable budget, it made almost no money back, because at that time word of mouth spread quickly about the film's quality. For a while, it became the laughingstock of Italian cinema for several weeks before being swiftly forgotten and buried. WebVideo/TheMightyPirate [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJdPZv-lklU breaks it down]] in a lengthy rant about how not to do a parody film.

* In the already seedy world of [[BruceLeeClone Bruceploitation]], '''''Fist of Fear, Touch of Death''''' goes a step further. Unlike most of its ilk, it's presented as a {{Mockumentary}} about a martial arts tournament to determine "the successor to Bruce Lee". However, it's all just footage of semi-famous martial artists like Ron Van Clief and Bill Louie in terrible fights and lame skits, faked interviews with a [[HongKongDub poorly-dubbed]] Bruce spouting one IceCreamKoan after another to host Adolph Caesar, and an episode of an old Hong Kong soap opera Bruce acted in, redubbed and presented as a "Karate crazy" Bruce arguing with his parents. The film can never seem to distinguish between [[InterchangeableAsianCultures kung fu and karate, and claims that Bruce Lee's grandfather was "the greatest Samurai swordsman in 19th-Century China"]]. It's constantly repeated that Bruce Lee died from the "touch of death" technique, but whatever that is [[AbortedArc is never explained]].\\

* '''''Film/DancinItsOn''''' could easily give ''Film/FromJustinToKelly'' a run for its money in terms of being one of the worst dancing-themed romance flicks of all time. Rich girl Jennifer falls in love with Ken, a dancing dishwasher, at the hotel managed by Jennifer's father. The two have a [[ClicheStorm bog-standard romance]] which leads to a dance competition. Said father doesn't approve of Ken, and Ken is caught in a LoveTriangle with his existing dance partner [[AerithAndBob Shotsy]] (who has an unrequited love for him) and Danny (a bellhop hired by Jennifer's dad to drive a wedge in between by dating Jennifer and convincing her that Ken and Shotsy are a couple). What could have been mediocre at worst is made awful for many reasons. First, the leads Witney Carson and Chehon Wespi-Tschopp were contestants on ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'' and ''Series/SoYouThinkYouCanDance'' respectively, which means neither are actually ''actors'' (Wespi-Tschopp has not appeared in anything since, while Carson's only other notable role is becoming the LovelyAssistant on the game show ''Series/Catch21'' after it was UnCanceled in 2019). The writing is all over the place, with awkward and {{narm}}tastic lines, and the editing is confusing (at one point, the movie hard cuts to a war scene to explain David Winters' character's motivation for mentoring Ken). Many secondary characters come in and out so randomly and jarringly that their appearances stand out, including an [[EthnicScrappy annoying African-American doorman]] at the hotel who calls himself "The Captain" and appears only to spout "wise" and "witty" advice. It also has downright abysmal production values: the title card appears for ''half a second'', the lighting is all over the place, and for whatever unknown reason ''the entire movie'' has [[HongKongDub absolutely terrible ADR]]. The film grossed only $27,000 [[BoxOfficeBomb against an estimated budget of $13 million]], Website/{{IMDb}} users gave it 3.0, and the only mainstream critics who bothered to review the movie were uniformly negative. Watch Creator/BradJones tear it apart on ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n434qVTPtU here]] and again as WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOcQS039EQk here]].

* There's a reason why '''''Film/TheDevilInside''''' is considered one of the worst horror films ever made: exceedingly slow pacing, characters that nobody can relate to discussing eye-rolling semantics repeatedly, piss-poor editing, awful handling of both the found-footage gimmick and the exorcism-themed plot, lack of creativity, rampant contradictions of virtually every claim the film makes related to Catholicism, and numerous directions that [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot never get explored fully at all]] (such as a Vatican conspiracy, Ben's DarkAndTroubledPast, and whether Maria’s second exorcism was successful or not).

It has [[WTHCastingAgency questionable casting choices]], including but not limited to the likes of Luca Giurato, Anna Falchi, Bruno Pizzul, Aldo Biscardi, and ''Creator/GinaLollobrigida''.

* '''''Box Office 3D''''' was announced to be a breakthrough in the Italian film industry, being their first venture into the then-new stereoscopic 3D technology, and the newest work by director Ezio Greggio in a decade (who is famous for being a showman for Mediaset, presenter for ''Striscia la Notizia'' and ''Paperissima'', and for shooting a bunch of [[SoOkayItsAverage rather passable]] films with fellow comedian Creator/MelBrooks). It was presented at the 2011 Venice International Film Festival and, needless to say, everyone was outraged by its substandard production and low-brow humour, which consisted mostly of jokes that were already out of date ''in the early 1980s'', with most of them rehashed from ''Paperissima''.

* '''''Film/DeadlyLessons''''' isn't as well-known or infamous as films like ''Film/{{The Room|2003}}'' or its contemporaries, but those who have seen it all agree that it's awful. The film, directed, written by and starring Stuart Paul, who purposely left his name {{uncredited|Role}} for directing, opting to be labeled as Q. Mark ("Question Mark", ''gettit?''), is about Paul playing a seemingly magical "prophet without a god" named Simon Conjurer (apparently based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Magus Simon Magus]]), who's absolutely perfect in every possible way, who has to contend with a murder accusation concocted by his arch-enemy (played by Creator/JonVoight… no, really) while teaching a night class full of individuals with varying mental problems. The class helps clear his name while also confronting their own inner demons. Filmed in 2005 as ''The Legend of Simon Conjurer'' but never formally released until it was quietly released on streaming services in 2014, ''Deadly Lessons'' is a complete abject failure. The film has a wildly inconsistent tone, [[MoodWhiplash going back and forth between being a somewhat serious thriller and a bizarre catoonish comedy]] at a wild rate. Not only that, the film is honestly quite offensive in its portrayal of mental illness, implying that Conjurer can cure their problems in one night without any sort of issue ([[CureYourGays including homosexuality,]] [[BrokenAesop which is cured by the gay character watching Simon have sex with his love interest in the film]]). All of this is also ignoring the pitiful special effects, the slow pacing of the film's near two-and-a-half hour runtime, [[invoked]][[WTHCastingAgency Voight's absurdly cartoonish performance under excessively silly looking prosthetics and a fat suit]], the film's extensive IdiotPlot and its incomprehensible combination of absurdities and psychological elements.

* The 2004 film adaptation of '''''Franchise/{{Devilman}}''''' is infamous for being one of the worst live-action adaptations of an anime or manga, even by the notoriously low standards of such films. The movie's plot is rendered incoherent due to [[CompressedAdaptation cramming the entire five-volume manga series into a two-hour film]] and the pacing is a mess (to name a few examples, it takes ten minutes for the main plot to even begin and pivotal scenes from the manga such as the fight with Jinmen are over in a few minutes). The fight scenes are [[FightSceneFailure dull and poorly choreographed]] and the acting is [[DullSurprise wooden and emotionless]], with the acting of lead stars Hisato and Yusuke Izaka (both twin brothers and [[NonActorVehicle J-pop singers]]) being universally panned as [[WTHCastingAgency miscast]] in the lead roles of Akira and Ryo. Despite the film's budget of ¥5,200,000,000 (equivalent to over $49,000,000 USD adjusted for inflation as of 2019), the production values are shockingly poor, with sets being reused for various locations and the CGI special effects [[SpecialEffectsFailure looking cheap and unconvincing]] even for the time. Predictably, the film was universally condemned by critics and audiences alike, [[MedalOfDishonor "winning"]] an award for Worst Picture at the Bunshun Kiichigo Awards and [[http://hakaiya.com/best/zerw/top10.html topping a poll as the worst Japanese movie of the 2000s]]. The film is so reviled that years after release, [[https://soranews24.com/2016/10/11/movie-fans-pay-respects-on-the-12-year-memorial-service-of-the-live-action-devilman-film/ fans of the franchise have mourned the film's release on its anniversary]]. With all this in mind, it's no surprise why the film has a paltry 4.0/10 on [=IMDb=], was named among [[https://youtu.be/xMg0P2M5WXc?t=301 the top ten worst anime live-action adaptations]] by WebVideo/{{WatchMojo}}, and declared the worst ever live-action anime movie by [[https://youtu.be/0XaiIW8WPyE TitanGoji]], who even went as far as to unfavorably compare it to fellow Horrible entry ''Film/DragonballEvolution''.

* [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot What really stands out]] about '''''Film/Dracula3000''''' is all the ways it ''could'' have been SoBadItsGood: For starters, the [[ApocalypticLog intro speech]] mentions EnergyWeapons, but none are present in the movie. The rampant use of familiar names can lead one to believe it's ''[[Literature/{{Dracula}} Bram Stoker's Dracula]]'' InSpace; it isn't; the plot borrows more plot points from the first ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' film than anything. To rub salt in the wound, the vampire isn't ''even named Dracula'' [[note]](his name is actually "Orlock" - and yes, that's an attempted ''Film/{{Nosferatu}}'' MythologyGag)[[/note]]. There are only five vampires in the whole movie, despite having genuinely suspenseful scenes (like a room full of coffins) that are completely tossed away in the end. The two token black guys are portrayed in an offensively stereotypical way (one of them, played by ''[[WTHCastingAgency Coolio]]'', is a stoner [[BlackDudeDiesFirst who becomes Orlock's first victim]] and then tries his best to chew the scenery, while the other one is a typical DumbMuscle). And while the [[http://www.dvd-covers.org/art/DVD_Covers/Movie_DVD_Scanned_Covers/1322Dracula_3000.jpg.html box cover]] [[CoversAlwaysLie tries to deceive viewers with cool space vampires]], the actual film has a pasty rando in a vampire costume that was probably bought at UsefulNotes/{{Walmart}} and [[CheapCostume looks it]]. Despite being released in 2004, the film looks like it was made at least ''a decade earlier''. The finale is a [[AntiClimax complete joke]]: The protagonists slam a door shut on Orlock's arm, cutting it off, and he breaks down weeping and screaming like a wuss. The final tease is the beginning of a sex scene after the last human carries the sex-droid towards the bedroom, which cuts off and shows the ship exploding from getting too close to the sun to kill Orlock. [=YouTube=] reviewer Fedora of Oh The Horror stakes this movie [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwUKZz2p7RE here]].

* '''''Airplane Mode''''' is a 2019 comedy film written by and starring the infamous Creator/LoganPaul, which has the AllStarCast of your favorite Website/{{YouTube}}rs and Website/{{Vine}}rs going to Australia for a social media convention and trying to prevent their airplane flight from crashing after idiotically refusing to turn on airplane mode on their devices, causing the airplane's systems to malfunction, which kills off the pilots.

The amateur acting of the [=YouTubers=] is terrible and [[SpecialEffectsFailure the special effects look fake]]. The story is very shallow and all the humor there is to make up for it consists of screaming, BlackComedy and VulgarHumor which are badly delivered and aren't funny at all, unlike ''Airplane!''[[note]]Examples include a doctor vomiting on young Logan's exposed fracture, a girl making out with her ''[[ParentalIncest father]]'', 2 CGI termites mating, a co-pilot named Penis, and a random male passenger trying to breastfeed someone else's baby[[/note]], offensive humor[[note]]such as a TSA agent saying "I have 911 reasons not to trust him" to an Arab passenger, an overly CampGay and sexualized flight attendant, him and another gay man [[DepravedHomosexual trying to hit on Logan much to his revulsion]], and Logan being able to read gay people's [[{{Telepathy}} minds]][[/note]], and dated references.

* '''''Aag''''', an unauthorized remake of the 1975 UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} classic ''Film/{{Sholay}}''. Despite boasting a strong cast with stars such as Creator/AmitabhBachchan and Mohanlal, this 2007 remake fails to carry and update, let alone understand, the conventions and the social commentary found in the original movie. Among the plethora of problems that plague the film are careless direction, horrid acting, poor attempts at trying to attract youth audiences with TotallyRadical dialogue, laughable editing, excessively slow pacing, and terrible music. A far cry from the box-office and critical phenomenon that was ''Sholay'', ''Aag'' only grossed 112.5 million rupees (then around $2.6 million US) total at the box office, making it one of the most disastrous {{Box Office Bomb}}s in Bollywood history. ''Aag'' was also torn to shreds by critics and audiences alike: the film has a paltry 2.1 on Website/IMDb, and FHM India placed it first in a list of the 57 worst movies ever made. Not even the film's stars defend the movie, with Amitabh Bachchan admitting that [[CreatorBacklash taking the role in the remake was a mistake]]. As if that's not enough to damn this regrettable film, [[http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/hc-imposes-rs-10-lakh-fine-on-ram-gopal-varma-for-remaking-sholay/ the grandson of G.P.

* '''''Aag''''', an unauthorized remake of the 1975 UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} classic ''Film/{{Sholay}}''. Despite boasting a strong cast with stars such as Creator/AmitabhBachchan and Mohanlal, this 2007 remake fails to carry and update, let alone understand, the conventions and the social commentary found in the original movie. Among the plethora of problems that plague the film are careless direction, horrid acting, poor attempts at trying to attract youth audiences with TotallyRadical dialogue, laughable editing, excessively slow pacing, and terrible music. A far cry from the box-office and critical phenomenon that was ''Sholay'', ''Aag'' only grossed 112.5 million rupees (then around $2.6 million US) total at the box office, making it one of the most disastrous {{Box Office Bomb}}s in Bollywood history. ''Aag'' was also torn to shreds by critics and audiences alike: the film has a paltry 2.1 1.4 on Website/IMDb, and FHM India placed it first in a list of the 57 worst movies ever made. Not even the film's stars defend the movie, with Amitabh Bachchan admitting that [[CreatorBacklash taking the role in the remake was a mistake]]. As if that's not enough to damn this regrettable film, [[http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/hc-imposes-rs-10-lakh-fine-on-ram-gopal-varma-for-remaking-sholay/ the grandson of G.P. Sippy (one of the original film's producers) successfully sued director Ram Gopal Varma]] for deliberately violating ''Sholay''[='s=] copyright.

* '''''Film/FurryVengeance''''' is a comedy where real-estate developer Dan Sanders (Creator/BrendanFraser) is given a task by his boss Neal Lyman to build a residential area over the forest of Rocky Springs, but the animals of said forest want none of that and take vengeance on Sanders in various ways. Unfortunately, the premise is spread very thin as the film spends most of its time showing Fraser's character getting humiliated and/or hurt by the animals, which amounts to tired slapstick and ToiletHumour. The animals are {{Designated Hero}}es who keep torturing Sanders until the end of the film, even though he's generally not a bad person and is only doing it because his boss gave him orders. There are also some UnfortunateImplications[[invoked]] considering that [[https://interculturaltalk.com/2010/05/13/cute-racoons-think-again-racial-ethnic-stereotypes-abound-in-furry-vengeance/ the Asian and Indian business people are the villains]], along with some unfunny stereotypical jokes. Couple that with a [[{{Anvilicious}} very unsubtle environmentalist message]], and it's no surprise that the film was panned by nearly every critic and was a BoxOfficeBomb. It has a 7% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a 3.8 on IMDB, [[StarDerailingRole gave a huge dent]] on Fraser's career, and director Roger Kumble [[CreatorKiller has stuck to television since]]. You know this film's bad when the funniest thing about it is comedians Jim Norton and Patrice O'Neal (who played [[GreekChorus construction workers commenting on Fraser's plight]]) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phJY44kjnhY#t=16m32s making fun of a caller's lisp]] on Radio/OpieAndAnthony. Leon of WebAnimation/{{Spill}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP8P3bEEmXg had to suffer through it]], to Korey and Cyrus's delight.

The inflammatory interviews are how I know of Nasheed, and I think that's how a lot of other people know him as well.


* '''''Buck Breaking''''' is a documentary directed by Tariq Nasheed (known for the song "[[SoBadItsGood/{{Music}} Wash Yo Ass]]" as K-Flex) that tries to argue that LGBT people are a threat to black masculinity. As bad as that argument sounds, its execution is even worse. It jumps between a long string of topics, which range from dubious to outright insane, in a vain effort to tenuously connect them all to his major thesis. Its research favored blog posts and interviewees who seemed to have no idea where they were, over newsreports or even actual books (only two of which were cited). It even brushes over the fact that several sources contradict the film. It's also loaded with pornographic depictions of history, both real and claimed to be by Nasheed. If the utter InsaneTrollLogic of it all could've resulted in a SoBadItsGood watch, the incompetent, yet stone-cold serious delivery of Tariq's incoherent and patently offensive claims cancels that potential out. Currently, the film rates as a 2.9 on [=IMDb=], with many of the positive reviews for this film both on there and on Amazon being made by profiles [[AstroTurf exclusively created to do so]]. Both Dylan Burns and WebVideo/YourMovieSucksDotOrg (with Dylan's assistant) looked at the film in as close to its entirety as one could get [[https://youtu.be/_kUVzfr923Y here,]] with Adum seeing this as the worst documentary he has ever watched in its entirety. F.D Signifier also tore it apart [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvzS6fVaG8I here]], speaking as someone that could have followed through this film's message years ago had it been released in TheNewTens instead.

* '''''Film/DeckTheHalls''''' was a 2006 Christmas comedy film that was thrashed by critics and audiences for all the wrong reasons. The main plot is that Buddy (Creator/DannyDeVito) moves next to Steve's (Creator/MatthewBroderick) house, and [[ArchEnemy Steve is obviously not happy.]] Buddy realizes that his house is not visible from space, according to a Google Maps knockoff, so he decorates his house with Christmas decorations in order to make it visible; even though map apps don't use live feeds to display data. What happens next involves awkward acting (Matthew Broderick is WAY too awkward and wooden, even for a film like this), gross jokes (Ex: Buddy and Steve drool over 3 girls wearing Santa outfits, only to realize that they are their '''''daughters'''''), boring filler, a completely preposterous plot that's not interesting in the slightest, and two unsympathetic main characters. It's got a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes, and Creator/RichardRoeper [[https://youtu.be/prlosVOLuis?t=406 named it among the worst films of 2006]]. Not only that, people like [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Matthew Buck]], WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, [[WebVideo/CinematicExcrement the Smeghead]], and WebVideo/GoodBadOrBadBad [[https://vimeo.com/112609645 have also expressed]] [[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrBeiGcVMhc their]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_gmLcIKf-s distaste]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foEKum6-QsI for this film]].

* Although bad films based on TV series began with the release of ''Film/TheBeverlyHillbillies'' in 1993, many consider '''''Film/TheAvengers1998''''' (no, not ''[[Creator/MarvelComics those]]'' [[Franchise/TheAvengers Avengers]]) the worst of the worst. Adapted from [[Series/TheAvengers1960s the 1960s spy series of the same name]], the film spent years in DevelopmentHell, ultimately yielding changes between the original concept, presumably closer to the series itself, and what ultimately appeared. Initially slated for release in June of 1998, it was pushed back to August of the same year, preventing all press release previews and leading to its poor performance. The film's failure proved the CreatorKiller for Jeremiah Chechik, whose ensuing works proved very unfortunate; the series' FranchiseKiller; a DisownedAdaptation for Creator/PatrickMacnee, who had a figuratively and literally invisible RemakeCameo; and a StarDerailingRole for Creator/UmaThurman, whose FakeBrit performance was greatly hated, and one for Creator/SeanConnery, whose final blow came five years later with ''Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen''. Critics almost universally despised the film, leading to its 5% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and its 12% on Metacritic. It also holds a 3.8 rating on [=IMDb=] and received nine nominations at the Golden Raspberry Awards (though it only "won" Worst Remake or Sequel, which it tied for with ''Godzilla'' and ''Psycho''). In April 2014, watchmojo.com ranked it at #1 on its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rHSbUjVh1s Top 10 Worst Movies Based on a TV Series]], and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZCDEomYWY0 tore the film to shreds]] when he expected [[Film/TheAvengers2012 a green monster, a star-clad shield and a giant hammer]].
