Inchon
Sure, the idea seemed swell. The cast seemed even better. With the cinematic presence of Laurence Olivier and the beautiful Jacqueline Bissett, all set in a wartime drama, what could possibly go wrong? Based on the amphibious invasion of Inchon during the Korean War in 1950, the only thing that was bombed was the film.
Much of the film’s budget seems to have been spent on the big battle scenes, which have been elaborately staged and with scarcely any dramatic effect. With an estimated budget of $46 million, it was appallingly received, bringing in less than $2 million. As per Rotten Tomatoes, “Inchon couldn’t save itself from certain death.” The 0% rating says it all.
Leonard Part 6
Parody films only really work if they’re done well. As for "Leonard Part 6"? Well, the verdict was not so good. Awarded the Golden Raspberry in 1987, the American spy parody film starred and was produced by the now-infamous Bill Cosby. Funnily enough, Cosby himself denounced the film; just weeks before its release, he came out and basically said he wasn’t proud of it.
Apparently, the way he spoke about the film had certainly garnered some low expectations, so much so that audiences and critics alike knew that it was going to be terrible and it didn't do well at the Box Office. Winning three Razzies, including Worst Picture, it’s considered one of the worst films ever made.
The Lonely Lady
Winning the Golden Raspberry in 1983, this is a disastrous film about the unraveling of a screenwriter’s career, revealing the truth of how she reached the peak of her fame during an awards ceremony. Some have gone as far as to say that it is the “worst film of all time.”
There are so many things wrong with that situation that we don’t even know where to begin. The main character, Pia Zadora, cozies up to toxic men to get to the top. We’re with Ebert on this one: “If The Lonely Lady had even a shred of style and humor, it could qualify as the worst movie of the year. Unfortunately, it’s not that good.”
Can't Stop The Music
Loosely based on the banding together of the "Village People," it seems that this film was rather far from the truth of how the fabulous troupe came to be. Released as a musical comedy, unfortunately, there were more laughs had at the expense of this film rather than with the film.
It’s not surprising that Wilson also found this movie to be disturbing enough to his theatrical sensibilities that it earned a Razzie. With one critic saying "Please DO stop the music!" Did you know that Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Mr. Bruce Jenner, also an Olympic athlete, made a brief appearance in the film?
Catwoman
No matter how good stretch leather looks on the gorgeous Halle Berry, it just wasn’t enough to distract audiences from how bad this film was. No plot? No dollars. No dollars? No film studio. What does that mean? Don't make another film, Hollywood, unless you're actually a director who knows what they're doing.
While Halle Berry did her character justice, the writers just didn’t seem to make it work for the comic-book hero. The “lone bright spot” had a tough time carrying the film, and for that reason, it won 2004’s Golden Raspberry for Worst Picture. However, there was one good thing that came out of it: (bedroom) wall posters of Halle Berry in leather!
