Annoying Kids In Films

Ozzymandias speaks: I nominate that little hillbilly kid in Medium Cool. I'd rather had seen him die at the end that Robert Forester and Vera Bloom. I'd also like to have seen more of the late Peter Boyle trying to teach little old ladies how to fire a hand gun.

Just about any kid that appears in one of the classic "Gamera" films is enough to put my nerves on edge. The way that they tended to dress those kids does not help.

I agree about Pepe, from 20 Million Miles to Earth. First you have to put up with him crying about needing money to buy a cowboy hat, then you realize that everything bad that happened is a direct result of the little brat. When the Ymir was atop the Coliseum, they should have launched Pepe at it with a huge slingshot. Then the Ymir could have either ducked, resulting in splatted Pepe on the stone, or swatted the kid out of the air.

YES! The greek Kenny!...or was it Sicilian?...well on his way to being a mob dealmaker, i bet...
ANY annoying kid is a "Kenny", after all. At least here in the Badmovie world.
Oh, there are SO many to loath...

Hummmm...good idea...what kids do we NOT hate?
For me, the girl who played Dorathy in RETURN TO OZ. Remember her, Andrew?
Billy Mumy on LOST IN SPACE. Even as a kid, i thought he was a guy you could relate to.
Charlie in the update of WILLY WONKA. Very NOT annoying.
Also the boy in TIME BANDITS.
Mike in 8 LEGGED FREAKS! Could grow up to be the Mike in NOTHING IS OUT THERE....is that the title, Andrew?

Any others?

I have to mention Macaulay Culkin in Jacob's ladder.

I had been late up one night, watching some random stuff, and i decided to watch this movie, Jacob's ladder that they where sending. I had never heard of it before. It completely took me by surprise how good it was. extremely scary and thought provoking! Then, in one of the very last scenes, Macaulay Culkin comes in. It just ruined it a bit for me. I couldnt stop thinking about those blasted home alone movies!

I still think Jacob's ladder is a brilliant movie tho.

Dakota Fanning in anything, annoying little over-coached wired-up line spewing android! Just irritates me anytime she's on screen, even when not acting. Can't watch her anymore.

Anyone else ever see one of Lee Marvin's last films, Dog Day. After escaping from a big time robbery gone wrong and getting wounded, Lee hides out in a barn on an isolated farm in the French countryside. And proceeds to be tormented by an overactive brat on the sugar rush of all sugar rushes. The whole film is a mess after the robbery goes south and a brilliant scene of Marvin running through a wheat field as the camera swoops over (beautiful but means little to the rest of the movie), and IMDB tells me I forgot more of the details than I thought, but my hatred of that kid lives on. Whining, crying, picking on poor old sick Lee Marvin, that kid made a merely blah movie into torture to watch.

I eat children.

The kid from Six-String Samurai is pretty up there as far as annoying kids go. Especially because of what happens to Buddy because of his idiocy.

I just finished the Mystery Science Theater version of: Invasion of the Neptune Men......
And These kids were BRUTAL!!....
I Loved their dubbed voices tho..

The kids from "The Prince of Space" were so annoying they were funny....if that makes any sense.

That movie is rough to get through. At least, the non-MST version I have was difficult to watch. The Japanese have a knack for making children that you would not mind watching roll into an active volcano, screaming the entire way.

Also, welcome aboard!

It's those nightmarishly unsettling shorts they put their young boys in.

Just plain Freaky.

Ozzymandias speaks: I like the little tough kid. As a matter of fact "I LIKE HIM VERY MUCH!"

Ozzymandias has spoken!!!

I gotta agree on PINOCCHIO'S REVENGE girl, it has been a while, but I think I remember hating her.

Howzabout...

Bastion from Neverending Story

Jamie from the PIT, actually he's cool I think he should be in Freddy vs Jason 2

little boy from XTRO

Kid in Wheelchair in MAC N ME should have bit the dust when he flew off the cliff!!

And the biggest youthful douchebag in the entire b-cinematic canon....JOSHUA!!!!

"Sing Joshua! Sing. Sing that song I like so much!"

TROLL 2

also Stewie Gluck from FREAKED

Texdar · December 19, 2006, 03:59:16 AM

How about the freaky looking kid from The Godsend with Robert De Niro? His eyes and weirdly shaped head bug the hell out of me, plus I find he can't act at all.

Joshua was very annoying, but I take comfort in the fact that he is going to end up in in mental institution, wearing an "I love myself" suit. Between talking to his dead grandpa all the time, urinating on the table, and screaming about being turned into vegetables and eaten - the parents are going to commit that boy and only visit on holidays.

Yikes, I had forgotten about Stewie in "Freaked."

Welcome aboard as a regular, Lordwormm.

Have anyone seen "Cannibal Terror"? This little girl was really, really annoying. During whole movie she walked with three criminals saying "Are we going to papa?", "Where is papa?", "Daddy, dady hiehieh" and other idiotic things. I don't know how it looks with orginal dubbing ( It's spanish as I remember) but her voice was also tragic. Generally whole movie is crap (one of the cannibals looks like actor from D'Amato's porno and wears sport shoes) and you'd better avoid it.
