5. Sword and the Sorcerer (1982):
Don't let the cover design fool you. Making into number 5 of my list is none other than the 1982 fantasy movie, Sword and the Sorcerer. This movie was made in the glorious 80's when fantasy movies were the big thing. Following Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, a bunch of these copy cat, wanna be fantasy movies came out from the pool of Hollywood production.
This movie features a tri-blade that can be fired at range to kill people, get the idea? Not only that, the movie is filled with cheesy moments and cliche that will have you laugh the whole way through, and trust me, you will laugh because it is not meant to be funny.
4. Battlefield Earth (2000):
It is fair to say that this movie single-handedly ended John Travolta's career... Based on the novel written by L. Ron Hubbard (the founder of the church of Scientology). Yes, this movie is pretty much all about Scientology belief.
It was said that John Travolta, a long time believer of Scientology wanted to make this movie, but was unable to obtain funding from any major studio. So the man used his own money, and the movie was distributed by a movie studio, which went bankrupt after the movie's release because the film performed so badly in the box office.
Everything in this movie is just so.. crap.. not only does John Travolta appeared in the most ridiculous costume, but the movie manged to bore the audience to death with the most flat storyline and unmemorable characters ever to embrace the cinematic history (the only thing memorable was the stupid costumes). Originally, Travolta envisioned the movie to be a trilogy. Thank goodness it never happened because of the extremely poor box office performance.
3. Monster A go-go (1965):
This is one of the most dis-jointed movies ever made. The production was passed between different studios, and different actors/actresses were changed halfway to reprise the same role. Not only that, the story is stupid.. enough said.
This is way bad, really, really bad...
2. Catwoman (2004):
I watched this movie a few years ago. Just tell you how bad it is... after I watched the movie I could not understand why this movie is about catwoman. Furthermore, if you have insomnia and lack sleep, then watch this movie, it would probably cure your sleeping problem, because it will make you fall asleep.
Somehow, the script writer and the director has managed to not develop catwoman's character at all. The action squences were dull and the character so uninteresting that I literally fell asleep while watching this. When I woke up, the movie was about to end, I was uninterested I turned off the film and went to bed.
And the worst movie ever made is....
1. Plan 9 from outer space (1959):
Making into the glorious spot of "the worst movie ever made" is none other than the legendary, Plan 9 from outer space. Directed by the undisputed "worst director ever lived", the mythical Ed Wood himself.
This movie is in black and white, it has zombies, vampires and aliens all in one. It also features the most strange, bizzare, unrelated, disjointed, confusing, cheesy, cliched script and cinematography in the history of cinema.
Almost every scene in this movie is laughable, the special effects are shockingly bad even for a movie made in the 50's. On top of this, all the actors have uni-expression. I don't know if it is because Ed Wood can't make his actors/actresses act, or if they intentionally find the most untalented actors ever. Also, Ed Wood has no idea how to make a movie, it seems as if he just decided to take random shots with no real plan, or directions at all. I don't think anyone can make a movie this bad even if they tried. Only Ed Wood, has the strange talent of crafting such a bad movie, it is totally in its own league!
The result? This is a real disaster piece that is worthy of collection. Actually, I have a copy of this movie in my collection, because I think it is quite spectacular how bad this movie is. It is a real parody which is not intended to be a parody.
I guess it is true that there are two ways to be famous, either be really good at what you do, or be the worst at what you do. It certainly is true for Ed Wood's case. There is even a movie about Ed Wood, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Deep as Ed Wood, check it out if you want.
Long live the memory of Ed Wood and Plan 9 from outer space!
