which of these duds was the worst? all of these films won Razzies, which are the polar opposites of the Oscars

Same here!! ;)

I've seen

Battlefield Earth
Howard the Duck
Freddie got Fingered
Last Action Hero

Out of those four I picked BattleField Earth.

Quite frankly, Howard the Duck, Freddie got Fingered and Last Action Hero were actually pretty good.

my stepbrother told me to watch Freddy Got Fingered because it was hilarious.

I watched about 2/3rds of it, and i think I smiled once the whole time (I didnt even laugh once) and I turned it off because I didnt want to watchit a second longer

I've never seen any of them, but Spiceworld won like 3 Razzies so I vote SpiceWorld!

Howard The Duck, terrible movie. Also Armageddon, another turkey, cleaned up at the Razzies too.

Spiceworld Rules man!!! Thats one awesome movie.

I've seen most of these bombs, but I give an enthusiatic thumbs down to Gigli. That movie was so bad, that I felt like I was losing my mind.

I often like movies that crash and burn at the box office, so I had an open mind, but it was just so very terrible.

I haven't seen any of the ones listed in the poll. One that isn't included is "Wild, Wild West." That movie swept the Razzies but I don't see what was so bad about it. I loved it. I saw it in theaters and I thought it was well worth the money. I've seen the original TV series a few times and to me, I would much rather prefer to see some new stuff than see a simple rehashing of the original material it was based on.

I haven't seen most of them. I saw enough of Freddy Got Fingered to put it near the top of the Razzies list.

Swept Away? A worse movie has never been made.:o

Heaven's Gate got a bad rap from the critics in my opinion. A 'groupthink' mentality took over surrounding the arrival of that movie. It didn't deserve to be panned like it was or be ridiculed into infamy as one of the alltime blockbuster-busts.

I never actually saw Heaven's Gate, but I did see the Trio documentary on the making of the film. My dad saw it on tv back in the early 80's and liked it. I think the backlash to the film was Michael Cimino's excessive behavior while making the movie, he let the success of Deer Hunter get to his head and demanded after one hit movie to have the type of control over a movie someone like Spielberg has, and his career has never been the same.


What was with the "Boycott Heaven's Gate" thing? I noticed on the documentary about the movie that when the film was reedited and rereleased in 1981, people were picketing the premiere, what was that about?

actually, I miss the days when "disposable fluff" was Spice Girls.... liked them a hell of a lot more than Hillary or Avril

"Showgirls" is so bad it's actually good. That movie doesn't belong there... out of all those films, "Showgirls" is actually watchable. Iin a way it's kind of fun because it is overacted, full of memorable dialouge... it's like a soap opera with nudity. Like Roger Ebert said, "Showgirls is bad, but not boring."

As for bad movies... "Gigli," and "Glitter" are overqualified. Those movies are extremely boring, poorly acted, just not even worth watching.

According to the American Humane Association abuse of animals occured on the set during the making of the movie.

They're all terrible. But I agree that that's the worst because they actually spent a bunch of money on special effects....all for nothing.

Battlefield Earth was a GREAT comedy. I laughed harder at that movie than any Jim Carrey flick.

Any movie that lets fires start on planets with no oxygen gets me laughing too.

I think had it been marketed as a comedy, it'd been more successful.

That movie was laugh-a-minute, can we say that about most of the crap comedy movies?

:lol: :lol: I have to agree.

I saw bits and pieces of Freddy Got Fingered and it was atrocious. Since I didn't bother watching all of it because it was so bad, my vote goes to Last Action Hero because I actually payed to see it in theaters. It was so unfunny and the action sucked. It was the beginning of the end for Arnold Schwartzenegger.

Freddy Got Fingered gets my vote. That movie was so awful that Tom Green will never star in another movie again. Striptease wasn't a bad movie, neither was Last Action Hero. And I can't understand why Howard the Duck is on this list, it's one of the best movies of the 80's, right up there with Raiders of the Lost Ark and E.T.

I saw that horrid Howard The Duck when it came out I was 14. I didn't laugh at then and avoid it like the plague now.
