    ...than "Battlefield Earth"?

    I can't think of any. It pretty much set the standard for bad movie. You might say films like "Plan 9 From Outer Space" or "Manos Hand of Fate" were worse, but those movies had an excuse to be bad, they were low budget. With the budget and big name actors in "Battlefield Earth", it had no excuse to be as bad as it was.

    ...of course it was based on a novel by L Ron Hubbard, which pretty much doomed it from the start.

    Can any of you think of any contenders?

      I think "Bug" is a worse movie. Every last second was psychotic babble. Nothing was redeeming about that movie.

          I can't make a judgement on TF2, since I haven't seen it.

          I would say that "Disaster Movie" is not worse than "Battlefield Earth" because it didn't take itself seriously. It was a stupid movie that was supposed to be a stupid movie. "Battlefield Earth" was meant to be an action blockbuster with a serious side about the soul of humanity, and it ended up being steaming pile of a shit.

          As for "Bugs", I've never even heard of that movie. I looks like it might be a direct to DVD low budget horror. If it is, that disqualifies it from this discussion.

              Nah, it wasn't direct to DVD. It was shown in the theaters, which is where I saw it. Completely fucking boring and pretty much most of it was shacky camera work and schizoid induced dialogue.

                Though I've never seen or heard of "Bug", I checked it's popularity with RottenTomatoes.com and it scored a 58%, compared to BFE which scored a 3%. I'd say that's a better movie.

                Nei: Good choices.
                Speed Racer: I never saw it, but heard it was pretty bad. But is it really worse than BFE?

                X Men 3: I would say no. X Men 3 wasn't really a bad, it was enjoyable, it had good action and still had a lot of the great characters from the first two movies. It's major flaw was that it was such a let down from X2. It wasn't great, but it did have some redeeming things about it, unlike BFE which had nothing good about it at all.

                Batman and Robin: Ooo, good one! B&R was pretty bad and I must say that is a pretty big contender so far. It does have one redeeming factor in that George Cloony was actually a pretty decent Bruce Wayne and probably more like the BW of the comic books then any other. Unfortunately, his role couldn't save the movie from the aweful script. If you notice, George Cloony is the only actor from that movie who didn't completely ruin his career because of that movie. As bad as it is, though, I'd still say BFE is worse. It had no good acting. Even Forest Whitaker, who's an awesome actor, sucked in that movie.

                Superman 4: yeah, SM4 was pretty shitty. It's hard to say if it was worse than BFE, though. It does have camp value, and I liked it when I was a kid. It also had a good cast. But let's look at the Razzies, shall we? (The Razzies are kind of like the anti- oscars. They're the awards given to the worst movies) Superman 4 was nominated for 2 razzies, but didn't win either. Battlefield Earth won 8 razzies, including worst picture, worst actor, worst director and worst drama of the last 25 years (in 2005)



                Now, how about Catwoman? Could that be worse?

                      Well, as for me, which movie did I think is worse than Battlefield Earth? Either Disney's Dinosaur, 10,000 BC, Batman and Robin, Plan 9 From Outer Space, A Sound of Thunder, Waterworld, Star Trek V or Godzilla 98 or some?

                          Come on now, Timmy. You have to explain why they are worse or why BFE is better. Someone who likes to type as much as you should be more than happy to do that.

                          Disney's Dinosaur: Hell no. That movie was not that bad. In fact, for a kid's movie, it was pretty good. And I love that scene where all the animals are sitting around watching the meteors fall, thinking "WTF", and then that huge meteor strikes and all hell breaks loose. Great scene. BFE did not have any scenes that came anywhere close to being that good.

                          Batman and Robin:see my above post to SarumanW and Nei

                          Plan 9 From Outer Space: As I mentioned in the original post, this was a low budget, B-rated movie. That disqualifies it from the discussion.

                          Waterworld: Yeah it's bad, but it was watchable. BFE was barely watchable. Not only that, but WW was an original script, which gives it plus points, and it could have been good if done correctly. It just wasn't done correctly. BFE was based on a novel by one of the worst sci fi writers in history (and the founder of one of the stupidest philosophies in history)

                          Star Trek V I agree it was bad, but not as bad as bad as BFE. At least it starred the Trek characters that we have all grown to love.

                          Godzilla 98 Yes, it sucked. But to the level of BFE, no. It actually would have been a decent movie if it wasn't supposed to be "Godzilla". If it was just a movie about a giant lizard attacking NY, then it would have been okay. The only thing that would have made BFE a decent movie is for it not to have been made at all.

                          10,000BC , Sound Thunder: I've seen neither of these, but why do you think they're worse than BFE, Tim.



                          Remember folks, these aren't just movies you dislike, they're movies that are so bad that they contend with BFE was far as awfulness.

                            The Legend of The Roller Blade Seven. The contest is over, I win. I have seen this movie a dozen or more times trying to figure out whats going on. I'm do pretty good until around the 30 minute point then what little sense the movie makes is completely thrown out the window, at least it would be if it had some to throw out in the first place. Even the title makes no sense. There are not seven roller bladers in the group there are only three and I'm pretty sure one of them does not even wear roller blades throughout the entire movie. Then I thought maybe somehow it would inconceivably be part seven in this serious but no, it was part 2 of a trilogy, which really is equally mind bending to me that they would make three.

                            If anyone can watch this movie and tell me what its actually about beyond the first 30 minutes I would be forever grateful but then at the same time I would also recommend that you never ever watch this thing.

                              Let's see what I can bust out....incidentally, I like some of the movies you guys are spoutin' as bad, like Speed Racer or Waterworld (It's idiotic, but enjoyable if you get off your high-horse). Anyway...
                              Mortal Kombat: Annihilation...It was coming off of a watchable original film, and so expectations were medium-high, rather than the piece of garbage that followed.

                              Jingle All the Way...Schwarzeneggar, stick to action.

                              Howard the Duck...Howard in comic form is a relatively cool character...WHY GEORGE WHY???

                              Ballistics: Ecks Vs. Sever. Do I need an explanation??? This film is bullhonkey.

                              Freddy Got Fingered. Tom Green sucks.

                              Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan. The highest budget of the Friday films to that point, the lowest returns. Why???? Cos' it friggin' sucked.

                              Hancock: Maybe not worse than BFE, but the biggest dissapointment.
                              Oh yeah?

                                I've never tried watching BFE... But it sounds fukkin awful.

                                So it has to be big budget, talented cast meltdown...
                                hmmm...

                                Ang Lee's HULK.

                                  I actually didn't think Ang Lee's 'Hulk" was that bad. It's certainly no BFE. Of course you wouldn't know, you haven't seen BFE. Trust me, see BFE, just see an hour of it, you don't even have to see the whole thing, and you'll see that it's awfulness goes well beyond explanation. At least Hulk had a few cool scenes like the hulk dogs and the scene where he demolishes that tank, but BFE had no redeeming scenes what-so-ever.

                                  So far, the only contenders I can think of, that I've seen, are "Lady in the Water", "Van Helsing" and "MK: Annihilation" (thanks Salty, I forgot about that last one).

                                    HAHAHA! I have to agree, THAT is the worst movie I have ever seen, if you take every criteria for a film to be DECENT or Good...completely reverse, crap on it, then put Lindsay Lohan in it...you have I Know Who Killed Me, it SUCCCCKKKKKSSSSSSS!!!!!

                                      The recent remake of the Producers pissed me off so bad, I stopped the DVD 45 minutes in. I returned the DVD to the store and got store credit for the rental. I bitched rather hard about it to the girl at the counter. She found that amusing. No, its not worse than BFE, but its up there.
