OT: worst movie/plot ever
- Thread starter theRU
- Start date
Message From Space. 1979. Look it up. It doesn't get any worse. A 17th century Spanish galleon sailing through outer space. People "swimming" in space and touching stars like pixie dust.
A distant second - The Big Bus - circa '78. Disaster/comedy about a giant bus complete with bowling alley. Dreadful. I saw both in theaters as a kid.

Wow...Wraith is a blast from the past. I think I caught it on ABC as a late night movie in the 80s. Definitely a bottom 5 nominee for plot. But can still recall the two goofball grunt characters appropriately named Gutter Boy and Skank. A 21-year old Sherilyn Fenn was easy on the eyes for this teenager at the time.

Another obscure SCI FI film from the 80's was Metal Storm; The Destruction of Jared Sinn. So bad I cannot forget it. Jared Sinn never even appears in the movie iirc.
Bad plot. Bad acting. And I watch it every time it’s on. Peter-son!
No Way Out. Kevin Costner is put in charge of looking for an imaginary Russian spy to frame for killing the Sec of Defense's girlfriend. At the end, the big plot twist is that Costner actually is a Russian spy, which is totally irrelevant to the fact that they were trying to frame an imaginary Russian spy.
Just out of curiousity watched attack of the killer doughnuts and was beyond horrible. Can't believe in 2016 somebody made that movie and that showtime decided to show it.
Blair Witch Project! All these years later I still want a refund and my 2 hours back!
Love Story. First time I had to pay $3 for a movie ticket. I cried all the way through the show about $6 bucks flushed down the toliet. The girl must have been sympathetic since she was crying too. Don't remember any plot.
IIRC didn't Al Gore claim the movie was based upon his and Tipper's romance?
I remember watching Titanic in the theater with my wife. About an hour and a half into it I leaned over to her and asked, "Isn't there an iceberg in this?"
It's not an imaginary Russian spy. It's one that's been rumored to exist within the CIA, but dismissed by most as myth.
That Costner is indeed the spy is great irony and it's a great suspense film. IMO.
Is that the movie where they obviously had GI Joe dolls instead of stunt men in the helicopter?
It took such a long time for the boat to sink, you would have thought someone would have been able to rescue them without a problem!
Exactly what I was thinking. The iceberg would have melted before the boat sank.
I walked out of Dumb and Dumber. Very annoying. The Green Hornet was the worst big budget superhero movie ever made.
Signs with Mel Gibson. A alien species that has technology that can make a spaceship that can travel across the universe and make itself invisible, but are not smart enough to not land on a planet that is 3/4 covered by the 1 thing that can kill them, water.
What..... no love (I mean hate) for the Doomsday Machine?
A sci-fi movie started in 1967, stopped, and then stitched together in 1972 with bad and totally confusing plot, bad sets, bad writing, and completed without the original cast. It also has astronauts finding abandoned space ships conveniently within "swimming" distance; the destruction of Earth where you can just about see the match being held under a paper globe of the planet. The ending is unforgettable. No.... really... I want to forget it and I can't quite. Movies like this were why MST3K was created.
It does, however, feature Mike Farrell, the future Dr. Honeycutt on M*A*S*H, in a cameo role as a reporter and Casey Kasem as your mission control officer on the headset broadcasting live from Earth where we expect total destruction on the top of the hour. Don't touch that dial.

You walked out of one of the best comedies of all time.! Now Dumb and Dumber To I would have walked out of..
Wow. Dumb and Dumber may be my favorite movie.
Mortal Kombat with JCVD. And it was a disgrace that this was Raul Julia's last movie before he died.
Rudy. I cried when a Notre Dame ended up winning. Sad endings suck.
Oh, yeah! That was a horrible movie, how the hell did those 2 got involved with turkey?
Another 48 Hours is another terrible movie. Even Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy knew half way through filming it that the movie was horrendous.
It seems bad at first, (I mean Abe Vigoda as a native chief!), but it has a simple, yet true moral to the story: There is no substitute for good luggage.
was about to say the same thing. one of the most inane, idiotic plots i've ever had the displeasure to watch. it was basically a slow motion car chase in space with a bunch of bitchy idiots disagreeing how to deal with it.
