Pootie Tang was recently on the rotation on HBO so that's why it was on the top of my mind for this thread. just watched it again. yeah it's still so bad it's funny.
Battlefield Earth just plain SUCKS. bahhaaa it's based on a novel by L. Ron Hubbard. yeah that guy. lol.
.
i'm sure we all know that John Travolta is a Scientologist. he made this movie a personal project get made, took him over a decade to finally get the film off the ground.
apparently Travolta thought this would become some sort of mega hit sci-fi franchise.
it didn't
bahahhaaaa
Film adaptation
Main article:
Battlefield Earth (film)
The subsequent
film adaptation, released in May 2000, was a commercial failure and was criticized as one of the "
worst films ever made".
[27][28] From the book's release, Scientologist and science-fiction fan
John Travolta aimed to bring Hubbard's book to the big screen in a series of two movies with himself playing Jonnie Goodboy Tyler, as well as producing. A first film was planned to be released in 1983, but due to rising costs, trouble in finding a studio that would fund the project, and Travolta's waning star power, the project was cancelled. It was finally produced by
Franchise Pictures and released in 2000 as
Battlefield Earth. Directed by
Roger Christian, it stars Travolta (who by now felt he was too old to play the hero) as Terl,
Barry Pepper as Jonnie Goodboy Tyler, and
Forest Whitaker as Ker.
The film opened to negative reviews and was a large
box office bomb. Due to bad
word of mouth and Internet buzz, it quickly disappeared from theater chains, having grossed $29,725,663 worldwide against a reported $73 million budget.
[29] Almost all aspects of the film were criticized: hammy acting (especially by Travolta and Pepper), the film's overuse of
Dutch angles, special effects, pacing, lack of action, plot, corny dialogue, and several plot inconsistencies. The film received seven
Golden Raspberry Awards at the
21st such ceremony, including that for
Worst Picture, and it later won two special awards: "Worst Drama of Our [the Razzies'] First 25 Years" and "Worst Picture of the Decade" (2000‒2009), at the
25th and
30th Golden Raspberry Awards respectively. Only
Jack and Jill, a 2011 comedy co-written, produced by, and starring
Adam Sandler, has won more Raspberries (jointly or solely winning all ten of the awards presented at the
32nd Razzies).
what are some movies that are so bad, there good
