I know I say this in most threads of this nature, but has to be clerks 2.

Agreed. The movie just lacks everything that made the first one so great. The dialogue was incredibly self referential and lame. Apparently Kevin Smith thinks that if he throws the word "cock" around a million times, he's doing something edgy and hip. f**k him for ruining one of my favorite comedies. BIG

I'm still pretty traumatized because of Freddy Got Fingered.

I haven't seen Freddy Got Fingered, but I might watch it just to see just how bad it is. It can't get worse than Super Babies 2. (shudders)

I've also never seen this flick. I just can't seem to bring myself to do it.

Another one that is enormously painful is Bio-Dome. I've mentioned it before, but my wife is an extra in the big party scene. You can see her in her bikini a couple of times right at the front of a crowd, dancing with her arms in the air. Anytime I'm flipping through channels and see it I have to stop and see if it's near that scene.

Brilliantly put brother.

Just about any of the cheap imitations of the Abrahams/Zucker style of comedy. Wrongfully Accused or Silence of the Hams come to mind.

Bad comedy is always painful. It's easy to get an unintended laugh out of a serious movie that fails, but when it's trying like mad to make me laugh and doing a lousy job of it, I just can't find anything funny about that.

I just remembered my horrible experience with Mac and Me and Saw 3d. I got angrier and angrier as the films progressed.

I bought FGF when it first came out and thought it was funny, but now as i've gotten older its a pretty freaky movie. I'm really surprised how it even got made. They have limit of how much gore they can have in horror movie but I guess it's okay for Tom Green to abuse a horse/elephant ...where the F is peta when you need em'?

The Forest
Cannibal Ferox
Cannibal Holocaust
Freddy Vs. Jason
Thriller:A Cruel Picture-I actually liked Thriller but all the porno shots just took me by surprise though

Jack Slater · July 28, 2011, 01:23:20 AM

I can't lock it down to one and these might not even be the worst of the worst but defaintly in contention. I didn't have to work to hard to put this list together.

X-Men III - Blasphemy
Transformers II - An Assault on my mind.
88 Minutes - What !?!.....okay.
Basic Insinct 2 - Terrible just teribble.
Dreamcatcher - The Name's backing this film, just look Kasdan, King, Goldman, Freeman, Jane, Lee, Sizemore, Seale and Howard. I only wish Cronenberg might have given this material a go.
Cold Creek Manor - I felt cheated.
Last House on Dead End Street - Deplorable
Another Stakeout - Hey, I liked the first one. What can I say. They got me.

One that I forgot to mention was Monster A go-go, I saw the MST3K version, but that didn't do justice.

I haven't actually seen the Eddie Murphy movie Norbit, but the trailer alone was enough to cause me terrible pain.

Trekkie313 · July 28, 2011, 04:25:06 PM

Norbit I wanted to see Ghost Rider with my buddy and it was sold out, got last minute tickets to Norbit. Spilled Coke on my good leather jacket, plus the place was fully packed with bored teenagers on a Friday night...had to strain my neck in the 3rd row.

Bad Teachers Walked out...it was so bloody horrendous and unfunny, only one good performance from the guy who plays Kevin Butler for SONY.

Gulliver's Travels

Even for Jack Black, the movie was pretty low and stupefying.

crackers · July 28, 2011, 05:28:29 PM

Sorry to say ( actually I'm not ) I liked Freddy vs Jason.

retrorussell · July 28, 2011, 09:32:05 PM

I went to the theater to see Bean and Alien Resurrection, and had my head in my hands during much of the running time. Ugh!
Same with Billy Madison.. terrible.
The Friday the 13th remake was one difficult ordeal, I gotta say.

Really, what is the hate with that movie? It reused concepts from the original F13 movies and barely deviated, except for how Jason gets his mask.

It's not nearly as a bad as TCM or NOES.

Honestly, the original wasn't that great either. But I liked it better than the new one.
