I know it looked bad intentionally, but the dream sequence in "The Big Lebowski" looked pretty horrible.

Just thought of another...

the flying bikes in Battlestar Galatica 1980 (the series when they reach Earth). Man that rear projection was lousy!!!

I haven't seen Galactica 1980 since 1980, so I still remember the flying effects as really cool. Now I'm curious to take another look, except that I remember the stories, characters and everything else to be crappy enough to deter me.

Although, I vaguely remember a time travel episode with Nazis that wasn't too bad. Wish I could remember some details. Something about giving advanced rocket technology to the Krauts.

"Galactica 1980" was from a time in my youth when anything sci-fi related was cool

[AndyC]

I know exactly what you mean.

It's definitely the flying zombie head in the refrigerator from Zombi 3 (I love that thing though)

[Fearless Freep]

Julian Sands zipping around in "Warlock" is no thing of fx beauty

Galatica 1980....
To the human brain, what a steel wire brush is to your privet parts.
And another reason i hate time travel stories! Aghh!

I have an indie release called "The Necro Files". It's one of the sickest movies I've ever seen, but it has the mother of all bad flying scenes. In the movie some Satanists sacrifice a baby to raise a serial killer/rapist. He comes back to life to do his thing, but the baby also comes back to life for revenge. Now this baby is a naked baby doll. And I mean like a plastic pink baby doll where you can even see where the arms, legs and head are attached. Even has that funky shag rug like hair. Anyway, the baby flies to attack it's victims. You can see the fishing line they are using and in three, count em, three, scenes you can see the tip of the fishing pole. And when this baby flies, it keeps turning around like a windcatcher in the wind. It's hilarious.

I remember this show, Forever Knight.  Why I think it has the worst flying FX, because there was no real flying.  The only "flying" you will see is when (I forgot the actor's name) Nic Knight, the vampire cop, points his head skywards, the camera shoots up in the air, you see a bird's eye view of the city, then cut to another part of the city and he jumps down to "land".
