From this list, I only saw the Indiana Jones one. And it was simply not good, not actively bad.
In fact, it's not as if these films didn't publicize the cast. Are you seriously saying that right-minded people see Martin Lawrence's, Madonna's, Eddie Murphy's, Mariah Carey's, or Tom Green's name above the title and don't think, "not for me?"
I admit that I violated that rule in 2002 and paid for two tickets to see the "I Spy" turkey, even though I knew Eddie Murphy was the star. But I learned from the experience.
If I'd compiled this list, I would have included "Agent Cody Banks II," the volume and stupidity of which was like an assault with a sock full of quarters.
But even that just couldn't have been as bad as 2002's Dana Carvey vehicle, "Master Of Disguise." I may be imagining it, but in one scene, I thought Jennifer Esposito was blinking morse code that spelled out "w-i-l-l--n-e-v-e-r--w-o-r-k--a-g-a-i-n." Master Of Disguise is the high water mark of all bad movies IMHO.
Dang, I just thought of the abomination that was "Anastasia" but that was from 1997. That would have to be my worst movie of the 90's then.
I totally agree with you, Gooner. If you're idea of a good time on a Saturday night is the latest Paris Hilton vanity project, you deserve the worst.
I'm happy to be able to report that I didn't waste my time on any of these turkeys.
To my mind, it's a serviceable list. I really didn't have any disagreements or omissions, just additions. Surely there is room on the list for one or two from the Vin Diesel oeuvre?
"Nacho Libre" and "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" didn't make the list?? I'm shocked.
