Worst Moments in TV & Movie Fantasy History

I'm sure Jeremy Irons does his best to repress any memories of appearing in that film.

 

I haven't ever seen D&D, but everyone says it's so bad I am becoming increasingly tempted to see it for myself.

 

It was bad... but it did have this line: "Oh look, I cut you. What a shame" and I used it for a while after the movie when slicing potatoes and such.

What about that plot they had in Hercules the legendary adventures for a while, Kevn Sorbo was actually Hercules. Keep in mind, this was after the Hercules vs Giant Chicken fight so they were really scraping the bottom of the barell for ideas.
And any time Michael Hurst decided to wear drag, you could tell you were in for some atrocious TV moments. Remember that episode where Hercules had to helpm a girl win a dancing contest?
If you don't, i seriously envy you.

 

Some friends of mine and I came up with a way to fix D&D. We might do it soon so keep an eye out.

M. Scott

 

Dagoth from Conan the Destroyer. I pity Andre the Giant for taking on such a role. Horrible. [cringes]

 

I have only one thing to say:

The Rock as a CGI'd Scorpion King in Mummy Returns.

 

I actually liked D&D.

What can I say? I was young and foolish and lapped up any fantasy based stuff that was thrown at me. Plus that princess/empress girl reminded me of Queen Amidala and I was waiting impatiently for Episode 2.

Ahh memories, good times good times.

 

D&D was good, just marlon wayans needed more screen time! OH and Richard O Brian?? why the hell is he in this movie is he as a prince/ theif type of guy?

I'm afraid, and I'm shy

Worst moments in scifi? Anyone have a list of Scifi Channel original movies?

 

Any episode of Relic Hunter.

 

This tops them all:

Battlefield Earth

 

The only reason John Travolta did that film was because of scientology

 

The Wiki entry on Battlefield Earth:

Critically, the movie was also a disaster and reviews were nearly unanimously bad. Acclaimed film critic Roger Ebert, described it as "something historic, a film that for decades to come will be the punch line of jokes about bad movies." Rita Kempley of the Washington Post offered a rather pointed critique, stating in part: "A million monkeys with a million crayons would be hard-pressed in a million years to create anything as cretinous as Battlefield Earth." Particular points that critics held up for censure included its overuse of angled camera shots, derivative special effects, and unbelievable plotting. The film frequently appears on worst film lists, such as the Internet Movie Database's "Bottom 100" list, where patron voting has continuously kept it listed as one of the 100 worst films of all time. [3] The ultimate insult came in 2001, when the movie received seven Razzie Awards, including Worst Movie of the Year and Worst Actor (Travolta), effectively classifying the movie as the worst film made in Hollywood since Showgirls. In 2004, the movie received a Razzie for Worst 'Drama' Of Our First 25 Years. The negative reaction to the movie halted plans to make a sequel.

I ask myself, "How could they not know during filming that it was going to be that bad?"

 

Because the Hollyweirders think their gods.

At least Gibson, for all his weirdness during the pub of Passion of the Christ actually knew how to make a good film.

 

Also, here's a link to images from Dungeons & Dragons - the Movie, THE worst fantasy movie made, IMO.

Ah yes, that was awful. At least Irons had fun, even if he would not want to be reminded of his part in the movie. But poor Thora Birch...awful dialogue and even more awful costumes. No wonder her character has a permanent frown on her face.

And I remember Highlander: The Animated Series . It wasn't too bad, but then I was a little kid when I saw it. Very 'Saturday morning cartoon'-ish, and so there's no actual beheadings. I can't remember how the whole thing actually worked, but there was definitely no cutting heads.

No one has mentioned 'Dune' both the movie and the miniseries.

The 80s movie featured Patrick "Picard/Prof X" Stewart apparently suffering from caffeine overdose resulting in him screaming in every scene (LOOONG LIIIIVE DUUUUKE LEEETOOOO!!!) and "weirding modules", a sort of 'sound gun' where one ahs to shout weird phrases to activate it (CHAAAAAKSAAAA!). And I haven't even mentioned a floating fat guy who loooves lubrication and the 'inner voice'.

The more recent miniseries has Czech actors who can't speak English (and some don't even understand what they're saying), William "Duke Sleepo" Hurt who was apparently sedated while filming this miniseries and a budget so low, they couldn't afford bluescreens. They had to use painted backgrounds that are so fake, so bloody obvious.

And the costume, oh Good God, the costumes...
