I've never walked out. When I was a kid, and more likely to see bad movies, I didn't want to waste money by walking out (even if I really wanted to). And, as an adult, I do a lot of research in advance. I also go to the theater less, because I watch a ton of movies at home with netflix and the library.
Movies I wanted to walk out of:
Street Fighter. Probably the worst movie I've ever seen in the theater. I remember the theater losing audience members by the minute, but I stuck to my guns and stayed.
Faces of Death 4. I went to a special viewing with my high school friends at the mall cinema out of a morbid curiosity. If you have any brains at all this movie will insult your intelligence, as a good 80% of it is fake. Yes, there are some gross scenes (like the cremation in the beginning), but so much of it is filled with badly acted re-enactments in which the camera conveniently misses the action. I remember turning and looking at my dull-witted friend as he got misty-eyed at the completely fabricated scene of a Vietnamese family slaughtering and eating a bunch of puppies in their kitchen (the audience is shown a litter of puppies, then an extreme close-up of fur being stabbed with a knife (accompanied by the sound of a puppy squealing off camera), and finally the family is shown eating some kind of mystery meat BBQ). I was so offended by how stupid this was, and then to see my idiot friend buying every minute of it! (I wanted to slap him upside the head!)
Robocop 3. Just a really bad movie in every way. It's funny how Nancy Allen's acting can vary so wildly from passible to bad depending on the talent of the director, because she is really bad in this movie. Also, the guy who replaces Peter Weller is pretty bad as well. You can also tell there was a serious reduction in budget compared to the first two movies, because the entire film looks like it was shot on a studio backlot. The story was cornball, there were few action scenes, and the film was rated PG-13. They were obviously trying to appeal to children by trying to make Robocop a superhero, but they failed to appeal to anyone. I stayed in the theater because I had nothing else to do.
