Super Mario Bros (1993) - it is just horrible, the only good thing about the movie is that it has a practical Yoshi puppet.

The 2005 Elektra movie. It nearly killed Jennifer Garner's career! There's so much of that movie where I just have to wonder "What the fuck were they thinking?"

I wanted to like it, but both my partner and myself were bored out of our minds watching it. Also what was that line… “I’m a BIPOC pangender”? Nobody has ever fucking talked like that.

End scene was fucking dope. That brought it up to a 6/10 for me.

This thread is crazy, so many hot takes in here!

One of the worst I've ever seen is the Korean film 'Stray Dogs' (2014). There is so much unnecessary sexual violence towards women in this film and almost none of it has any relevance to the story. It's not like a rape revenge thing either where the victim eventually comes out on top - in this film the victim is a blind woman who cannot even defend herself with a knife she is given. The supposed protagonist of the film rapes his wife at the beginning and then engages in voyeurism for much of the film while this poor blind woman is raped every single night by the entire town. When he finally decides to do something about it he is absolutely fucking hopeless, as are the townspeople attempting to stop him. It is so misogynistic and poorly written, I have no idea why anyone agreed to be in it. Anyone who enjoyed this film should go on some kind of watch list.
