Worst Sci-Fi movie of all time

Yeah, Ed Wood kind of becoming a cult figure has resurrected Plan 9 & Co.

He came to a very sad end, died homeless 1978. If he had just stuck a producer and let other do the writing and directing, he would have been very successful. Might even still be alive now.

Serenity - Joking! If you're on my front yard already, please extinguish your torches.

Honestly, I think Ultraviolet was one of, if not the worst I've seen.

Ultraviolet was excruciating to watch. The soundtrack gave me a headache.:eek:
 
Deathsport Staring David Carradine , godawful B post apocalyptic science fiction film.
 
Damnation Alley Jan Michael Vincent and George Peppard , they essential took a great book by Roger Zelazny and completely re imagined it into a crappy feature film.
 
Mission Stardust 1967 with better story editing and tighter writing could have been a decent film.

The Creeping Terror - A carpet from outer space (at least it looks like a carpet) that eats people. Terrible acting, terrible photography, terrible narration, poor production quality, little storyline......and yet strangely compelling:)

:D I thought the thing resembled a Chinese parade Dragon, as it seemed that its operators' feet were visible beneath it. Oh how I wanted to see it again!

The Creeping Terror 1964. The film had little dialog because some happened to the film sound track, They add a voice over narration. Even with dialogue, this film would still been pretty bad.:)

So I bought the 50 film Alien Invasion set, just to get that 1 film. Upon viewing it, I thought the lack of dialogue was because when actors speak, their pay must be greater than if they do not. :ROFLMAO: Anyway, as I understood the plot, the things were supposed to ingest & analyze the life forms they encounter so the humanoid aliens could better conquer the planet. :whistle:
 
I know TV series are not films, but as this was a serial, & in America these were shown in theaters, I will mention it here. This 65 segment serial was so bad, its creator, the man who created the characters and stories, anyway, repeatedly denied that any such thing even existed. :cool: In 1958, Osamu Tezuka did in fact make a live-action serial version of Mighty Atom (Astro Boy).

I wrote a thread about the serial in general, which has links to image-filled threads about the stories in it: http://www.astroboy-online.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6951 :lol:

Im not sure but , I think this film got the Mystery Science 3000 treatment.:D
 
Anyway, as a rule, I find that in general, the worst films will have the most interesting / attractive DVD / VHS cases. Those showing cool vehicles, robots, weapons, & such. They may even have quotes from various critics, & such, all taken out of context. I recall one I think it was called APEX; it was about time travel, & thankfully, I have forgotten the rest. :sleep:
 
This gem. Even when I was 8, and everything was sort of cool, this was still bad. Years later I watched it again to try and determine if it was based on Marvel's Deathlok (no Google - had to research via video store and VHS). And, alas, The Vindicator did not get better over time like a fine wine.

 
Has anyone mentioned Max Payne? Not sure if it is complete sci fi but that's been the only film that has made me angry for seeing it. Mark Wahlberg looks like he can't be bothered for the entire film and all the suspense and grit of the game is lost in a sea of boredom.

I couldn't watch Mark Wahlberg again until - The Other Guys - where he redeemed himself a bit.
 
Manos, Hands of Fate. Just really unbelievable twitchy 'acting' by Torgo... set to oddball jazz piano, I had forgotten how weird this one was.

The Time Guardian 1987 staring Carrie Fisher. Its about City traveling though time trying to escape those cyborg beings that look like Borg Rejects. I don't know if it's been on Mystery Science 3000. But it should be.:eek:

I'm so glad am not the only person who's watched this! For those who haven't seen it it really is truly stinkingly awful.

The Time Guardian (1987) - I'm sure The Time Guardian made some sort of sense to someone somewhere at some point in the production process but by the time it got to my VHS player it was an unholy incoherent mess which made no sense whatsoever for nearly all of its running time. The movie 'stars' Dean Stockwell and Carrie Fisher in minor supporting roles that each could have been shot in a day (and I suspect Stockwell's was, consisting as it did of three or four scenes of him shouting at people in an unconvincing manner and then pressing a big red button). Carrie Fisher on the other hand gets to snarl with Princess Leah like disdain at someone who wishes he had the charisma of Han Solo's jockstrap, and gets to wear a skin-tight silver top that looks like it's been sprayed on - and for a moment the film got interesting. But only for a moment. Other than that one scene it is utter and incomprehensible garbage. Everybody shouts and snarls and is incomprehensibly mean to each other for no other reason than try and generate some 'drama' out of the confusion. The plot (as far as I could make it out) concerns a time-travelling city that is being pursued by evil cyborgs. Our hero accidentally blows off one of the legs of the city so they have to stop in the Australian outback in 1988 for repairs and a final showdown with the bad guys. Our hero goes ahead back in time (I'm really not sure what tense to write this in) to get a bulldozer to build a big mound to prop up the broken leg when the city arrives. (I'm not making this up, honest!). The bad guys show up. The local cops are corrupt and stupid, the local geologist is a girl with nice legs. In the end, in a flurry of poorly-executed clichés, the hero pulls out a big shiny, hitherto unmentioned, bit of the city's time travel device, points at the bad guys and they all vanish.

This is not a bad film - this is a very bad film.

The Italians made better SF films than this. The most horrible thing though is that the script was (in part) by John Baxter, a real SF writer and film critic. It was his only screenplay.
