I don't know either, man. It would be in good company with Tekken and one of the Street Fighter movies. This one made me pause for a minute. I thought "Why in the hell did a Scorsese movie bomb?" before I saw it was a Nicolas Cage movie. You know who isn't in that list anywhere? Clint Eastwood. Because he's a boss.
Speaking of Nick Cage, was Wicker Man on that list? Then again people probably went to see that BECAUSE it was so awful.
Whats sad is there are a number of decent movies on that list. "Bringing out the Dead" was pretty good, despite it having Nick Cage in it. "Mystery Men" was awesome. Then again people thought "Bridesmaids" was good.
Also, those on that list bombed at the box office and it shows the net loss from that. It doesn't count the take from DVD sales/VCR tape sales after it was out of the theater.
Exactly Grim. Some movies go unnoticed or get bad reviews and it isn't until they come out on DVD/VHS that people realize they were good or great. The funniest on that list is A Troll in Central Park. 99.7% loss. How do you fuck up that hard?
When it's real late at night on the weekends, me and my little brother like to watch those shitty made for TV Sci-Fi B-movies that Sy Fy (Why the fuck did they change teh spelling? ugggh) channel plays and just tear them about. I think the Tremor series is our favorite, it has that perfect mix of stupid writing and campy special-FX but still has awesome characters who occasionally do stupid things I that could see myself doing. But the, THE, worst one of these B-movies I ever saw was about ta group of Spanish conquistadors who found some long lost tribe in the Amazon that worshiped a Tyrannosaurs rex. And when the Spanards shot, and hit, the T'rex with a cannon ball (you know, the kind you use to knock down stone fortifications..) it just bounced off the T-Rex's chest and, literally, made a "BOINGY" bouncing rubber ball sound... it was as if the Foley artist was like: "what the hell, the producer is an ass hole and its not like anyone is going to stay around to read my name in the credits!!"
Have you seen Sharktopus, Alaskan? OMFG it was soooooo bad. I laughed my ass off during the entire movie.
Saw an interesting rating today on a movie. "Rated PG-13 for the intense depiction of human struggle and conflict." Meanwhile, Homeward Bound was rated PG. The struggles of pets isn't nearly as intense as human struggles.
No, but I did see the one about the Land shark mutant on that Island where they had to send an elite team of commandos and scientist to stop it, without giving them any kind of information for some reason... EDIT: Why is it always commandos and scientist? And why are they always working with the Russians? We should have a competition to see who can come up with the most cliche and unoriginal Sci fi movie idea...
Military hires ex KGB scientists to develop a genetically engineered bioweapon but it goes berserk during testing and starts murdering people after escaping the lab.
Evil greedy capitalist corporation develops miracle drug, (by illegally importing Russian nuclear material and hiring a Russian scientist who wants to continue his cold war super soldier research) which fails in testing because of deadly side effects. So they dump the waste into a remote Alaskan lake where it comes into contact with salmon which mutate into Mega-Salmon. The government sends in an elite joint US-Russian Commando team, of DeltaNinjaSeals and Spetsnaz, to investigate after communication is mysteriously lost with a high school basket ball team in the area. Tagging along with the Commandos is a sexy 23 year old Russian nuclear physicist and a fat balding attache from GreenTech Pharmaceuticals who is supposedly there to advise the Commandos but is really on a secret mission from Greentech to recover Mega-salmon DNA for use as a weapon by Greentech's parent Company Lockweed Peace corporation. His greed leads to him being eaten alive after the nameless black commando, douchebag high school jock and the bitchy cheerleader.
