It's rare, but there are occasions when this can happen.  A really bad opening or ending credits sequence/roll can show up out of nowhere and just be horrible.  I haven't seen many examples of this, but yet, I have encounter such a moment of utter terror.

Ugh, so, how about you guys.  Ever seen an actual bad opening or ending credit sequence before?

I never liked the credits for Monsters Inc.  Just seems so lame compared to the rest of the movie's animation. 

I 'd like to nominate Manos: The Hands of Fate as that long driving scene at the beginning is clearly there so opening credits could be shown and they never came.

The filmed version of the musical Cats.  The one where the eyes are floating into the screen.  Honestly, I find it really boring and everytime I dig out the ol' VHS tape of Cats, I usually fast-forward the opening. :lookingup:

Can't think of any offhand (although I'm sure I will), but I have to say that Furry clip you linked above is HORRIBLE!  Never seen the movie, but that clip was so bad it actually made me a liitle angry at the world...

Well, the opening from superman 4 was really bad, and worse by the fact it was ripping off superman's excellent opening credits and making them cheap and awful...

Christ wept.  :bluesad:

Tower of Blood stands out for a really horrible opening sequence.  It's a slasher movie, and we get to watch the slasher's feet walking down the streets for about 5 minutes.  Then the camera lingers - forever - over some newspapers blowing around on the ground.  Then an elevator door opens and closes - this is repeated as each end every member of the cast and crew is listed in the credits.  Takes about 5 minutes just for that. 

Thank you for dredging up such a horrible memory. I had the misfortune of seeing that abortion during it's theatrical run.

The opening credits for POD PEOPLE (another MST3K favorite!) actually play over scenes from another movie - Don Dohler's GALAXY INVADER.

I find just about any 80s credit sequence featuring bad rock and glowing neon/sparkily titles obnoxious. Even worse if there's a 'whoosh!' on the soundtrack when a new credit appears.

This one may not be the worst, but the theme song always makes me laugh:

By the way.  This is available in Mill Creek's WARRIORS 50 Movie Pack.  I actually watched the whole movie.

Now it's stuck in my head. BLAST YOU, BURGOMIESTER!  :wink:

I cracked up at the end credits of DON'T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT.  In the climax of the film the inmates exact revenge on their psycho head doctor (who is really another patient) and kill her.  During the credits the actors are billed with loving closeups of their bloody carcasses!  :teddyr:

Wow, you thought that was funny, Russell? I thought it was pretty grim and effective. Ah well....

Sorry, I thought it was funny.. maybe that's just me.  I enjoy laughing at scary movies, or applauding gory scenes.  They just don't scare me like they used to.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Nuff said.

Rock n Roll Nightmare

Easily.

The 20-minute sequence with the van driving over the same hill.  Over.  And over.  And over.  From the same two angles.

It's hilarious for the first 5 minutes, and then for the next 15 it's just torture.   :drink:

I liked the movie but the song that plays over the hipstery animated opening credits to JUNO makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

No disrespect to ChocolateChipCharlie, but the opening credits to MITCHELL  are pretty horrible - freezeframe closeups of Joe Don's face!  :buggedout:

Not sure how I missed that one!  It's written all over my face!   :bouncegiggle:

I love MITCHELL.  Seriously.  Epic bad movie.

First things first, Bill Murray is one of my all time favorite actors. He can do very little wrong in my book. BUT the ending credits for Scrooged make me cringe. Don't get me wrong I LOVE that film. It's just when he is talking to the camera and the rest of the cast are singing that dreadful song, it sends shivers. I remember seeing it at the cinema with my parents as a child and getting very angry cause they were joining in. In fact I cant think of a example of when an actor talks to the camera at the end credits has ever been good. (especially Spice World). If you can, I'm all ears.

Funny how things can seem very different to different people.

I love that sequence. The end of Scrooged is one of the very few movie sequences that actually warm the cockles of my cold, cold heart. It's the only movie I go out of my way to watch during the Christmas season, precisely because of that part you don't like.

If you hate it, you hate it, which is cool. For me, one of my favorite scenes in one of my favorite movies.

Fair enough. I can understand how some (probably most) people enjoy it. I suppose it just make me think of the embarrassing time at the cinema. My dad actually stood up and started clapping and singing along. Ha ha

I think that bit of Scrooged just a great job at capturing the general cheesieness and good cheer that the movie has built up to at that part. 

what about the mega blockbuster from Crown International

Erik Estrada's movie "Visions" features a lot of crappy and dated computer graphics in the title. The movie is from around 2000, I think, but the graphics look like something out of 1983.
