25 Bad Movies That Went So Low That They Actually Went Down In History

Interestingly, the producers of "Howard The Duck" originally planned to make a full-length animated film, but decided that a movie with quite a decent cast and George Lucas in charge of special effects would be a box office hit. Well, they were dramatically wrong...

And here's the legend! Ron Wood made perhaps the worst movie ever made, where absolutely everything is bad. Nevertheless, within a couple of years, "Plan 9" entered folklore as the standard of bad movies - and remains so to this day.

A low-budget horror film made as a result of a bet between two acquaintances, it would've sunk into oblivion if it hadn't been included in the popular early 90s comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000, which made fun of B-movies.
No, "Manos" never discovered any new artistic merits, but since then the film has rightfully entered the category of "Greatest Bad Movies."

Paul Verhoeven's film was widely considered to be the worst movie of the '90s, although many arthouse critics were already pointing out that it was actually a brilliant satire on contemporary Hollywood. Over time, "Showgirls" gained fame as a truly iconic movie, but the seven "Golden Raspberries" still remained.

With its primitive sets, hideous makeup, and bizarre satirical jabs at the national space program, it's no wonder the movie was a resounding failure. Critics still consider it one of the worst sci-fi films of all time.

A huge number of superstars, a colossal marketing budget, proven superheroes... as it turned out, the key figure for the entire franchise at that time was Tim Burton. Joel Schumacher's movie turned out to be frankly bad, and even today, despite numerous attempts by Marvel and DC Comics, it is still considered one of the worst superhero movies of all time.

Oh yeah, those nipples on Batman's suit... Why, oh why did they do that?

A script by Stephen King, a soundtrack by AСDС, Emilio Estevez in the lead role... it would seem that what could go wrong for a sci-fi horror film from the late '70s? But as it turns out, you can be a brilliant writer, but a mediocre director and producer. Stephen King didn't make any more films after that, concentrating on writing.

The feature-length adaptation of the popular animated series wasn't a hit, but it wasn't exactly a bad movie either. The main roles here were played by Dolph Lundgren, who immediately followed up his iconic role as Ivan Drago, and Courteney Cox, who had ten years to wait for the first episode of "Friends"...

The first ever film adaptation of the cult video game was not bad in its own way, with a good cast, excellent special effects and costumes for its time - but it was a resounding failure at the box office. Bob Hoskins, who played Mario, even later admitted that he was ashamed of this movie.

The attempt to repeat the success of "E.T." predictably failed. But the movie already has a unique 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, got two "Golden Raspberries," and is full of product placement - guess what corporation the alien hero of this film is named after?

Incredibly, in five years, from 2013 to 2018, SyFy managed to make six Sharknado movies, turning it all into a whole franchise. All six films about how a tornado grabs sharks out of the ocean and throws them into a city (yes, the plot practically never changes) featured "Beverly Hills 90210" star Ian Ziering, and "The Big Lebowski" and "American Pie" star Tara Reid.
