@@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881It’s easily a Worst Excuse For A Reboot by virtue of existing after Harold’s death and only existing as a cash grab by Sony.

@@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881 looking at the nominations, it's pretty fucking clear 2016 had strong contestants for worst movies. studios were truly outdoing themselves
Fun Fact about the Rambo movies: Rambo doesn't kill any of the police officers in the first movie. There's only one on-screen death, a cop that accidentally falls out of a helicopter while trying to shoot Rambo. Which makes the sequels where he kills hundreds even more dissonant.
@@christopherb501 There's one redeeming quality about the fourth one: At one point in the movie, Rambo sneaks up behind a Burmese soldier and decapitates him with a machete, but in the original trailer, the color correction was so dark that you can't see the machete, so it looks like Sylvester Stallone straight up punches a guy's head off his shoulders.
First Blood is one of the best war films of all time, disguised as an action movie. The sequels make it feel like Sly missed the point of the screenplay that *he himself* wrote. It's baffling.
My favorite bit in Freddy Got Fingered is the kid who walks into a giant propeller and fucking dies, but then the filmmakers probably thought that was too brutal so they ADR a line where the kid screams "I'm fine" off screen.
My (actually abusive) mother showed me Mommy Dearest at 8 years old and said I should “be thankful I’m not that bad to you” so it holds a horrible dark place in my heart. So glad it was thought to be as terrible as it was
i remember i watched mommie dearest because i found it in a letterboxd list i was working through at the time, and that is to date the first time i've had a panic attack watching a movie
I remember watching it when I was little and being so brainwashed into thinking parents were always right that I thought the little girl was the bad one.
the movie Madonna was in and her interview made me so sad like what a nightmare it would be to star in a movie directed by ur husband where he allows for ur character to get attacked like that AND THEN fall in love with the attacker like i think that's one of the most horrifying parts of that whole situation
i don't feel bad for her, its Madonna, have you seen what she's done over the years? that movie was the least of the silly dumb horrible things she did in her career and life. In fact it wouldn't make the top 10 of "Madonna" problems.
I just came to say that Freddy Got Fingered is a masterpiece. A really weird cinematic achievement. If you go in realizing that it's a guy essentially saying, "You're gonna give ME money to make a movie?? Ok...Bad idea but let's go!", you'll realize that it's the most perfectly crafted troll/shitpost of all time. Every detail of that movie was a middle finger to the studio that funded it and to the whole movie industry at the time. And it's funny. It's incredibly offensive and shocking without being mean. At the end of the day, it's all pretty wholesome, silly humor. Except for the animal masturbation. And all the blow jobs.
Shitpost for sure, Mike from RedletterMedia is spot on with this, check their review of the movie. The iconic movie cover shot of a director framing a shot through his fingers is also intentionally wrong.
I explained the Razzies to my mom at our Oscars party, and she expressed that Tom Hanks should be "Razzied up the wazoo" for his appearance in Elvis. I think the Razzies could use this verbage going forward.
@@andysee6996 wait did he? he was actually better than austin butler imo, probably because austin butler is an asshole of an actor. i said what i said.
i find it inherently very funny that "twilight: breaking dawn" is to the razzies what "lotr: return of the king" was to the oscars. the franchise definitely deserved SOME recognition, so go ahead and give the third one the most prestiged award of the night.
@@aznthyyeah everyone knows. Even modern defenses of twilight mainly center around the fact that the way twilight was criticized was often pretty transparently just bullying the fans by people who hadn't actually read or watched twilight and thus had no reason to care.
Freddy Got FIngered is like a total take-down, deconstruction, post-modernist art piece in a really weird way. When I saw one of the actors flip off the camera I knew it was all a big joke. I have mad respect for Tom Green for wasting $20 million of Fox's money to make a statement about terrible studio comedies. There is actually a lot to analyze there unlike literally every other film in this list, sans for the weird rape and child abuse stuff to pull from some of the grosser directors, but that's not really art focused.
I genuinely feel like the fact I can recognize more of the Razzie winners than the Oscar winners from the last 10 years says that our society can be judged more accurately by our failures, not our successes. Deeply profound. And now I'm going to watch Showgirls, seeya
I love how the different flavors of bad movies really represent the status of pop culture in each decade. The bad 80's movies were over-the-top, tasteless and had absolutely no morals or second thoughts behind their content or filmmaking. The bad 90's movies were relatively tame and could at least be called competent with a lot of effort coming through in the production. The bad 2000's movies were just a clusterfuck to the senses with what seemed like endless attempts to capture the most vulgar things ever witnessed by man. And then the bad 2010's movies were bland, flavorless, and made by people who didn't seem to give a half of a fuck of what they were making. Wonder how the rest of the 2020's will stack up
So far it seems like movies that are super controversial and pushing Right-wing and/or non-PC talking points have been winning the razzies which is a pretty good representation of this decade tbh
Yeah this decade’s trend is leaning heavily towards right wing garbage (Absolute Proof) and extremely misguided and/or morally questionable movies (Diana: The Musical, Blonde)
We have "Absolute Proof", "Diana: the musical", "Blonde", "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey"... I'm not sure these films have something in common. Maybe the actual thread is how the Razzies society has to deal with certain person-specific issues: after Bruce Willis and Ryan Keira Armstrong, who would be next?
That Madonna one is so sad, it honestly gives a lot more context to her American Life album where she constantly rags on Hollywood. That film is hard, if not down right impossible to fully watch through with how abusive the characters are to each other. And the whole Stockholm Syndrome at the end...ugh.
I'm a huge Madonna fan but cannot make myself watch this one, maybe not surprisingly, "Shanghai Surprise", with her (allegedly abusive) other ex husband, Sean Penn.
You briefly touched on it, but there is something deeper behind the scenes of Freddie Got Fingered. My theory is that Tom Green made that movie to intentionally waste the money of the Hollywood execs who were pumping money into gross-out comedies without any understanding of them or why they were popular. I can envisage him sitting in an office being offered a budget by some absolute corporate sleaze and thinking ‘man, you know what would be really funny? If I pissed all of this cash away in the most extravagant and insane way possible…’ There’s even the scenes in the movie where he spends his million dollars in extravagant and insane ways.
Showgirls was so frustrating to me because there is a legitimately very good movie in there, but some strange directing choices (aka Nomi Malone's acting) and the egregious SA scene drag the movie down a peg. But definitely not as bad as everyone said it was.
aw man, I was hoping for a return of the "I'm a NYU film school graduate sucker" clip at the beginning, but even a minute in, your jokes are just *chef's kiss*
Fun fact that I wish you elaborated on in the video: Wild Wild West was made because WB cancelled the Nick Cage Superman movie directed by Tim Burton where Nic Cage as Superman fights a bunch of ninjas and a giant spider in the third act. The budget was cut in half and used to make Wild Wild West instead which explains the giant spider 😂 you should absolutely do a video on it
Just thinking about how i saw a tweet where the guy who wrote the original CATS musical has an emotional support dog now, and he was gonna go on a flight with his dog and they asked why he needed an emotional support dog and he was like "did you see what they did to my musical CATS?" And he was accepted.
as a heavily neurodivergent person who loves bad movies and was raised on 2000s adam sandler jim carrey era comedies, the freddy got fingered portion was basically a personalized recommendation, that sounds like the best movie of all time actually
Freddy got Fingered is like.... Imagine an entire film that exists purely to be a shitpost. It's hard to know if it's really funny or good or not, but you just see it and it's so stupid and weirdly self-defeating that you're either going to get a kick out of it or you won't. It knows what movies are supposed to be like and it's actively deciding to NOT be that at every turn no matter how weird or fucked up it might be, lol. There's literally a line where the main guy is running through what he's spent money on to blow his fortune and it's obviously just him talking about the budget of the film. To this day, I completely believe the mindset was literally "Some idiot greenlit my movie? OKAY. Let's make sure to spend every single cent from the budget however we can just to make the most weirdly offensive thing possible!" and it KIND-OF WORKED.
@@dracocrusher Freddie Got Fingered makes a lot more sense if you view it as an angry deconstructive parody of Adam Sandler comedies. It doesn't become good, but it makes more sense. You can look at a lot of the creative choices and think "ah, that's why this is here." I think it's trying to be to Adam Sandler comedies what It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is to Friends. ...The talent and restraint are not there to make this idea work.
We also wouldn't have Kyle Kallgren screaming the immortal line "THIS CANNOT BE DADA!!!! It's too normal to be dada!! It's too sh!t to be anything else!!!!".

@@EvasiveOne My best guess is that they were following the Oscars (pre-streaming) criteria for movies: it had to play for at least one week in at least one cinema in LA County during the calendar year, so if it was a STV release it would’ve been ineligible
@@EvasiveOne One of my favorite things about Theodore Rex is that when the producer saw an early screening of Dragonheart at a film festival, he was so blown away by the CGI (Which looks crude in a few scenes by today's standards but was mind-blowing back then) that he knew there was no way they could release Theodore Rex into theaters with that as the competition. It was the same way the makers of Bubsy 3D reacted when they saw Mario 64.
If propaganda films like Hillary's America and Absolute Proof can win worst picture, I want to see that anti-trans doc from Epoch that keeps bombarding me with ads win next year
Yeah, where's Matt Walsh's "What is a Woman?", where known probable pedo who wrestles men in diapers and says sussy crap about the age of consent Matt Walsh talks to a sociology professor about what a woman is, gets a lecture about the nuances of gender roles in society, INTENTIONALLY CUTS THE EXPLANATION WITH A TIMELAPSE, and then TRAVELS THE FUCK TO AFRICA to ask some random African tribe JUST so he can get the answer "Men are people with penises, women are people with vaginas". All of this is extremely blatantly purely so he can try to claim Trans Women aren't Women for the sake of bigotry. It's so weird and dishonest in how it's trying to take a kind-of interesting and nuanced idea of how we define sex and gender and just hammer at reality to make things fit the simplest elementary school definition possible. And even then, despite all the editing and trickery, Matt Walsh still comes across like a massive psycho who keeps bringing people into interviews under false pretenses and being told to leave when he inevitably acts like a Jackass to people just trying to explain basic gender theory to him, lol!
@bellbito7318 I don’t THINK that’s what they’re talking about, I think there talking about this anti-trans documentary from an organization called The Epoch Times, but he absolutely deserves a Razzie for that piece of trash
The razzies producers are liberals just like every other award show in Hollywood. Why do you think only conservative propaganda movies that win razzies and no liberal propaganda movies?
I believe John Waters said if they had cut just a bit of each freak out, Faye Dunaway would have won an Oscar. Idk if he was right but I’d like to believe him
But that's just it. It wasn't *supposed* to be a camp classic. It was supposed to be a serious and disturbing biopic. Go into it with that in mind. Watch the movie and try to take it seriously. There's your Razzie.
My favourite review of _Movie 42_ was "producer Charles Wessler spend years assembling his all-star cast, it's a shame he couldn't use his tenacity to make a movie that people would actually enjoy."
Nooooo I was obsessed with Catwoman (2004) as a kid 😭😭😭 like I watched it on repeat CONSTANTLY. I love it so much to the point where on my 5th birthday, a whole year after the movie came out, my parents got us a cat and they adopted her because her name was midnight like the cat in the movie. (RIP midnight you were the best cat ever) And I STILL watched it all the time for YEARS. Needless to say my parents weren’t surprised at all when I told them I liked girls years later. Especially considering my second favorite movie was Bandidas 😭
For me, 50 Shades the movie will forever be epitomized by my then classmate's horrified reaction coming out of the theatre: 'it's just p*rn!' To which I replied along the lines of 'what did you expect?'
That was awesome. Can't wait for the 3rd installment, "I watched every kids choice awards favorite movie" I genuinely want to understand how some of those movies won...
Absolutely honored to have been part of this strange torture experiment. This was another total banger. Rest up easy showgirl 😤 Also oh my god you unlocked a core memory. Back in like '02 or '03, My dad had this presumably illegal cable box that basically gave you access to premium channels like HBO and Starz for free. And me being a frequently unsupervised child would be watching it not knowing i was about to be exposed to copious amounts of nudity and intense violence at any moments notice. Saw many scenes of Swept Away and was spooked by how unsettling and "adult" it was. Felt like I was going to hell just looking at it. The guilt has never truly faded away. Never knew what movie that was until just now. I am free 😢
17:40 I think "Leonard Part 6" is a riff on Cosby's character in "I Spy" (1965-68) where "Alexander Scott" had his crap together, "Leonard" is just whiffing it. Also I think it's a secret admission by Cosby that he was like the guy who was dating Leonard's daughter, because they are pretty much the same age. This was never a funny movie, not even in the 1980s.
Hey, why don't you explain that "cross-eyed toddler" bit? What exactly did you mean by that? Go ahead, explain what you meant by that in detail. I'm listening.
genuinely, thank you so much for the vomit triggers. i was worried coming that i'd have to look up each movie individually to see if it was mentioned, but you made me feel a lot better about skipping certain movies and certain parts of the video. you don't know how much it is appreciated
If you want to know how little sociology experience my sociology teacher in HS had, part of his curriculum was showing the emoji movie. Don’t even remember his justification
Fun personal story about _The Last Airbender_ : my dad was actually good friends with the family of the kid who played Aang (who I've been told was selected because of his extensive martial arts training... explains a lot imo). I watched ATLA for the first time a few years ago when it was released on Netflix and I instantly fell in love with the series. Now, everytime the topic of ATLA is brought up, my dad always mentions, "oh yeah, Noah's in that movie! you remember?" and it's like, yes!! I do in fact remember you telling me that the shitty adaption of one of my favorite stories ever starred that kid you know!! So anyway, that's how my Bacon number is 5
I remember my hairdresser telling me one time that her husband wanted to go see Watson and Holmes on a movie date and she sat through 15 minutes of it then left and snuck into an Aquaman showing instead.
for star trek, yes we love the go climb a rock shirt. also the marshmellons and spock in rocket boots bit are absolutely perfect. We joke that the first 10 minutes are an absolute gift, then its all down hill from there.
I’m so proud of you, because watching all the Oscar’s “best pictures” can be considered torture (especially in the beginning). And yet you did it, and now you did this 👏🏻 Edit: I too am I’m debt, but it’s gonna be there a while because I can barely make it through an episode of What We Do in the Shadows without falling asleep (just out of exhaustion and sitting, not because it’s not a banger)
RE: Wild Wild West's Mechaspider. I'm surely remembering the details wrong, but Kevin Smith told a story about how a writer or director kept wanting to put a giant spider in movies, and the studio was always telling them to shut up, and they finally got it in WWW
Movies tended to inspire trends. Saturday Night Fever brought disco to the mainstream. Indiana Jones inspired nerds everywhere to wear Stetson hats. Dirty Dancing made dirty dancing popular. Cocktail had the honor of inspiring bar owners everywhere to send their bartenders to classes so they could learn the whole "synchronized juggling of liquor bottles" gag to entertain the patrons. My aunt had to go to those classes and hated it because they had to stop everything they were doing to spend 5 minutes mixing one drink.
True story (though I may have misremembered details). When I was in 8th grade, I went to Canada for space camp. The tour guide on our charter bus was this really tall guy. He told us that because of his height he had been cast as an extra in Battlefield Earth (they wanted all the Psychlos to be like 6'5" and over + they wore heels). I'm pretty sure he said upfront that the movie was known for being bad. And then we watched the movie.
At least you have a film degree proper, Evasive. I majored in photography and by the time I graduated, my BVA degree was changed to "Media Arts" which is just vague enough for me to be a complete menace with it on Letterboxd. This video was excellent, look forward to seeing more on this channel.
Rambo returning to Vietnam in the second movie actually makes sense considering his PTSD. A lot of veterans come to crave the thrill of combat because it's the only time they feel alive and the only time their high anxiety, which cripples them in civilian life, is actually useful. It's not a good message, but it's kind of accurate.
There's a channel called Cinematic Excrement that has been doing this for each movie, one by one, for years. Kudos for getting it all out of the way in one video.
Crap, I really, REALLY, was not ready for how good YungJunko is! I've never even heard of this guy before and then suddenly this video goes from a dry, fast-paced, super safe but informative project giving a quick glimpse at things, and it just turns into an old-school comedy internet reviewer thing (in a good way). I mean, holy crap, he really didn't hold anything back and it's hilarious! Definitely need to check out more of his stuff, this was just such a pleasant surprise and I hope he's got more stuff like this to dig through.
Props to you and your guests for suffering through these movies. I’m surprised there were as many enjoyable ones as there were. Would you say there were any that were more enjoyable than the best picture winner of the same year? I’m guessing no, but I thought I’d ask.
To Mommy Dearest, the twins said abuse didn't happen, but in the book and movie, Christina said they weren't abused. Just her, and her brother were. Her brother did back up the abuse he and Christian both suffered. Which is something that happens to some families, where some kids are abused, and some are not. Which then can create another kind of tension between the kids.
I first watched Freddy Got Fingered when I had a mild fever as a child and I had a rather traumatic dream about Tom Green that night. I have loathed the movie with every fiber of my being since. I'm shocked to find people who genuienly seem to like it. My friends used to send me the audio clip of him playing the piano with the hanging sausages to torment me over MSN Messenger back in the early 2000s. "Daddy would you like some sausage?" Now this thing suddenly comes back to haunt me once more, I never knew it got a Razzie but from my point of view there is no film I know of that better deserves it. Excellent video btw! I really do adore Showgirls as well.
getting sent Freddy Got Fingered clips over MSN Messenger sounds like a precious moment in history I was a Skype group chat kid it just wasn’t the same 💔
And that cancelled Nic Cage Superman originally had a Giant Spider Where Superman had to fight, Which ultimately ended up being the final product that we ONLY got to see. What was Warner Bros. Thinking?
I love Showgirls. I don't think it was taking itself too seriously even thought the subject matter was so traumatic. It's campy. If Striptese was like that it would have been good
From everything I’ve heard and seen, Verhoeven took it seriously. To him, it was a drama. It just became camp unintentionally because he didn’t realize what he was making.
@@LifesNeverHumDrum I doubt that! Showgirls is a satire about certain aspects of American society, like the other Verhoeven movies: with Robocop he targets capitalism & consumer culture, Starship Troopers is about tendencies to militarism & fascism and with Showgirls he makes fun of America's dysfunctional & hypocritical relationship to nudity & exploitation of sexuality. 🙂 So it's not Verhoeven who doesn't get it - usually the other way around: Verhoeven makes a satire and the audience doesn't get it. ^^ The reason why Robocop & Starship Troopers were popular while Showgirls bombed: Robocop & Starship Troopers used violence to lure the audience, while Showgirls used nudity. And Americans love violence but condemn nudity. 😂🤣 But while Showgirls bombed in the cinemas it was a hit with DVD/Blu Ray sales, because everybody watched it at home - when he's alone... And here we are again at exactly that hypocrisy about sex Verhoeven pointed out with this movie. 😁😁😁😁
I know this video was uploaded over a year ago so I doubt I’m the first person to mention this, but what made Halle Berry embracing winning a Razzie even more iconic was that it happened a couple of years after she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for Monster’s Ball, and she parodied her own Oscars acceptance speech
the best part of wild wild west is that it was made after the demise of superman lives and the same guy who got the spider into it wantted it in that movie first. dude just really loves spiders
We all know the Bill Murray joke that he did Garfield because it was directed by Joel Cohen (who he mistook for Joel Coen) but I think it's absolutely wild there is also an Etan Cohen out there and nobody has made *at least* a Funny or Die sketch out of this.

I genuinely have no idea how Leonard Part 6 was ever made given that even Bill Cosby knew how bad it was. He was so ashamed of the movie, he actively warned people not to see it despite his fingerprints being all over the damn thing as the star, co-writer, co-producer and possibly de-facto co-director if the actual director is to be believed.
@@matthewhunter1193 Tom Hooper's The King Speech won Best Picture and Best Director over The Social Network, which I usually wouldn't mind too much because it's the Oscars, who cares? But The King's Speech sporadically has such fundamentally bad filmmaking that it genuinely irritates me whenever I get reminded of this.
The fact that the King’s Speech won that year over The Social Network, Black Swan, Inception, The Fighter, True Grit, Winter’s Bone and Toy Story 3 was absolutely insane.

I love Paul Verhoven and Tom Green were both good sports about their Razzies, as well as the fact that their movies in particular are very much more fondly looked back on.
The choice to play the Zanarkand theme song when talking about the tragedy of couples going to see 50 Shades of Grey on Valentine's Day was truly an inspired one. A perfect song choice for such a tragically bad movie and love story. 50 Shades of Grey could never hold a candle to FFX's love story between Tidus and Yuna.
In High School, we had a turbo evangelical girl theology class, that pushed and lobbied for watching Kirk Cameron Movies disguised as "film study" and or teacher didn't catch on to it fast enough. I still feel emotionally scarred
36:57 - Will Smith had just come off two 4th of July successes: " Independence Day" in 1996 and "Men in Black" in 1997. Those producers thought it would work again with this movie.
I wonder how many of these films the Razzie judges actually saw. I read a really interesting article that the Razzie judges, unlike the Oscars, can nominate a film without having seen it. I know that the quality of a film is often subjective, but I find it hard to believe that, especially when it comes to "Not That Bad" category, there weren't worse movies released in those years than the ones that won the Razzie. It seems to me that they simply reward famous films that for some reason have acquired a bad reputation, rather than "truly" bad films.
The movie Kids was released in 1995 and was given an NC-17 rating. "It received an NC-17 rating from the MPAA, but was released without a rating. Critical response was mixed, and the film grossed $20.4 million on a $1.5 million budget. It is now considered a cult classic." Now, I know it says it was released without a rating, but I begged my mom to take me to it. My mom let me and my brother watch every Oscar movie and didn't care if we watched R rated movies, I actually kind of remember watching Howard the Duck. Anyway, the point is, I couldn't get in to Kids alone with my friends. I had to bring my mom and she brought my little brother 🤦🏼♀️. Needless to say, it was uncomfortable as fuck to watch that with my mom and brother. 🤦🏼♀️
I forgot Xanadu was partly responsible for The Razzies 😂 I’m so proud of my fave. And what an honor to learn that I Know Who Killed Me was released on my birthday!
I can’t believe I didn’t get a notification immediately for this! I’m still watching, but loving it so far. Also, on a scale of 0-10, how much of a crime would you say it is that Showgirls “won” over the other nominees that year? (Waterworld, The Scarlet Letter (1995), Congo, and….. It’s Pat)
Honestly, It’s Pat DESERVED a Proper Razzie, Than Showgirls. “It’s pat” is just Pre-Woke Disney planning to make Strange Worlds. Showgirls is sexy and hilarious. So as Sia’s Music, Sia’s Music Deserved a Proper Razzie but got robbed by My Pillow Guy’s Absolute Proof (2020) what a crime against humanity My Pillow Guy’s Absolute Proof is not a movie Sia’s Music IS a movie but a forgettable dumpster fire disaster one and even more predictable, and more generic and insulting. Razzies sucks!
Well, back then, Showgirls did deserve it more because it was seen as so spectacularly bad that the other movies just couldn't compare. These days, since it is considered either "so bad, it's good" or "had potential, but is deeply flawed", I guess you can say that the other movies deserve it more. So, on a scale of 0 to 10 for how the other movies were robbed of winning a Razzie because of Showgirls, I'd say a 0 when it first came out and maybe a 7 or 8 after Showgirls has gained camp cult movie status and/or has been reappraised as a good movie with bad publicity.
This was the most thoroughly entertaining thing I’ve seen in a while. I’m so inspired to watch all the “so bad it’s good”movies on this list. This video absolutely rocks

@@TheSongwritingCatAt least they are awarding them with an equivalent of being called a shithead, now the Oscars awarding the same sex offenders without that pretense...,
I don't remember where, but I have seen a conspiracy theory about the razzies, that they are a covert way of exposing those kinds of freaks... it sounds stupid, but the fun kind of stupid
It's called rich people.
That's showbiz, baby!
The problem is starting in the 90s, the Razzies started nominating famous movies instead of truly bad movies.
It's kind of fascinating how the razzies mirrors the actual oscars in typically choosing what's popular to hate on rather than what's actually the worst.
After they didn't even nominate new Ghostbusters I just quit them too
@@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881It’s easily a Worst Excuse For A Reboot by virtue of existing after Harold’s death and only existing as a cash grab by Sony.
Was The Last Jedi or Ant-Man 3 ever nominated for a Razzie? One qualifies for worst screenplay and another for worst special effects.
Then again, I’d nominate every Live Action Disney remakes in the last ten years for a Razzie for worst excuses for movies period.
@@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881 That was 2016 though. The amount of bad movies that year could make ghostbusters look like a half decent movie.

Fun Fact about the Rambo movies: Rambo doesn't kill any of the police officers in the first movie. There's only one on-screen death, a cop that accidentally falls out of a helicopter while trying to shoot Rambo.
Which makes the sequels where he kills hundreds even more dissonant.
I hate that "series" so much. Great movie, sequels all suxxorz.
@@christopherb501 There's one redeeming quality about the fourth one:
At one point in the movie, Rambo sneaks up behind a Burmese soldier and decapitates him with a machete, but in the original trailer, the color correction was so dark that you can't see the machete, so it looks like Sylvester Stallone straight up punches a guy's head off his shoulders.
First Blood is one of the best war films of all time, disguised as an action movie.
The sequels make it feel like Sly missed the point of the screenplay that *he himself* wrote. It's baffling.
That's not the case with David Morrell's original novel. Rambo basically goes "sequel Rambo" on the small town police officers. Great book!
The anti war cops are ahistorical though
My favorite bit in Freddy Got Fingered is the kid who walks into a giant propeller and fucking dies, but then the filmmakers probably thought that was too brutal so they ADR a line where the kid screams "I'm fine" off screen.
My understanding was if they hadn’t done that they would have gotten an NC-17. I do think it’s the only funny joke in that movie.
@@lillianward2810Also the person holding the sign up that says something akin to "When is this fucking movie going to end??"
"This is a fancy restaurant!"
That’s comedy gold.
I like this movie way more than I should be willing to publicly admit
My (actually abusive) mother showed me Mommy Dearest at 8 years old and said I should “be thankful I’m not that bad to you” so it holds a horrible dark place in my heart. So glad it was thought to be as terrible as it was
I can't even bear to watch a Joan Crawford film now.
I feel like I've seen you make a similar comment before on another video. Can't remember which one.
i remember i watched mommie dearest because i found it in a letterboxd list i was working through at the time, and that is to date the first time i've had a panic attack watching a movie
I remember watching it when I was little and being so brainwashed into thinking parents were always right that I thought the little girl was the bad one.
Tell me you cut all contact with her
the movie Madonna was in and her interview made me so sad like what a nightmare it would be to star in a movie directed by ur husband where he allows for ur character to get attacked like that AND THEN fall in love with the attacker like i think that's one of the most horrifying parts of that whole situation
i don't feel bad for her, its Madonna, have you seen what she's done over the years? that movie was the least of the silly dumb horrible things she did in her career and life. In fact it wouldn't make the top 10 of "Madonna" problems.

I just came to say that Freddy Got Fingered is a masterpiece. A really weird cinematic achievement. If you go in realizing that it's a guy essentially saying, "You're gonna give ME money to make a movie?? Ok...Bad idea but let's go!", you'll realize that it's the most perfectly crafted troll/shitpost of all time. Every detail of that movie was a middle finger to the studio that funded it and to the whole movie industry at the time. And it's funny. It's incredibly offensive and shocking without being mean. At the end of the day, it's all pretty wholesome, silly humor. Except for the animal masturbation. And all the blow jobs.
Shitpost for sure, Mike from RedletterMedia is spot on with this, check their review of the movie.
The iconic movie cover shot of a director framing a shot through his fingers is also intentionally wrong.
daddy would you like some sausage?
I explained the Razzies to my mom at our Oscars party, and she expressed that Tom Hanks should be "Razzied up the wazoo" for his appearance in Elvis. I think the Razzies could use this verbage going forward.
"it's Razzie time."
"What?"
"Wazoo-wazoo."
... your mom is onto something
And Tom Hanks won TWO Razzies for “Elvis”, so your mom spotted that one.
He won the Razzies for worst supporting actor and worst screen combo (Tom Hanks and His Latex-Laden Face [and that ludicrous accent]).
@@andysee6996 wait did he? he was actually better than austin butler imo, probably because austin butler is an asshole of an actor. i said what i said.
i find it inherently very funny that "twilight: breaking dawn" is to the razzies what "lotr: return of the king" was to the oscars. the franchise definitely deserved SOME recognition, so go ahead and give the third one the most prestiged award of the night.
While Breaking Dawn is the fifth movie and not the third, you’re definitely right
twilight is trash
@@aznthy yes and?
@@aznthyyeah everyone knows. Even modern defenses of twilight mainly center around the fact that the way twilight was criticized was often pretty transparently just bullying the fans by people who hadn't actually read or watched twilight and thus had no reason to care.
Blonde being categorized as “?” is probably the most concise but accurate review the film has gotten thus far
The talking fetus scene was so WTF that it could've came from an anti-abortion propaganda piece.
Freddy Got FIngered is like a total take-down, deconstruction, post-modernist art piece in a really weird way. When I saw one of the actors flip off the camera I knew it was all a big joke. I have mad respect for Tom Green for wasting $20 million of Fox's money to make a statement about terrible studio comedies. There is actually a lot to analyze there unlike literally every other film in this list, sans for the weird rape and child abuse stuff to pull from some of the grosser directors, but that's not really art focused.
I genuinely feel like the fact I can recognize more of the Razzie winners than the Oscar winners from the last 10 years says that our society can be judged more accurately by our failures, not our successes. Deeply profound. And now I'm going to watch Showgirls, seeya
Bad movies are more more fun to talk about than to watch. Good movies are more fun to watch than to talk about. 💕
Seriously I loved so many of these Razzies! I will never not watch Showgirls!
I love how the different flavors of bad movies really represent the status of pop culture in each decade. The bad 80's movies were over-the-top, tasteless and had absolutely no morals or second thoughts behind their content or filmmaking. The bad 90's movies were relatively tame and could at least be called competent with a lot of effort coming through in the production. The bad 2000's movies were just a clusterfuck to the senses with what seemed like endless attempts to capture the most vulgar things ever witnessed by man. And then the bad 2010's movies were bland, flavorless, and made by people who didn't seem to give a half of a fuck of what they were making. Wonder how the rest of the 2020's will stack up
So far it seems like movies that are super controversial and pushing Right-wing and/or non-PC talking points have been winning the razzies which is a pretty good representation of this decade tbh
Yeah this decade’s trend is leaning heavily towards right wing garbage (Absolute Proof) and extremely misguided and/or morally questionable movies (Diana: The Musical, Blonde)
We have "Absolute Proof", "Diana: the musical", "Blonde", "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey"... I'm not sure these films have something in common.
Maybe the actual thread is how the Razzies society has to deal with certain person-specific issues: after Bruce Willis and Ryan Keira Armstrong, who would be next?
sequels. just sequels and live action remakes
Excellent work! I saw "Striptease" in the theatre and the best part was when the projector broke and we were able to get a refund after 45 minutes.
Striptease is one of those rare movies that was based on a real funny dark book and was turn into a high budget skin max movie.
Striptease is actually a lot of fun.

That Madonna one is so sad, it honestly gives a lot more context to her American Life album where she constantly rags on Hollywood. That film is hard, if not down right impossible to fully watch through with how abusive the characters are to each other. And the whole Stockholm Syndrome at the end...ugh.
They claim (mainly with the original) that it's a "commentary" on "class".......

No Eric André without Tom Green
Ah, a fellow woman of culture🍷
You briefly touched on it, but there is something deeper behind the scenes of Freddie Got Fingered. My theory is that Tom Green made that movie to intentionally waste the money of the Hollywood execs who were pumping money into gross-out comedies without any understanding of them or why they were popular. I can envisage him sitting in an office being offered a budget by some absolute corporate sleaze and thinking ‘man, you know what would be really funny? If I pissed all of this cash away in the most extravagant and insane way possible…’ There’s even the scenes in the movie where he spends his million dollars in extravagant and insane ways.
It is an actual crime that Cocktail won Worst Picture in 1988 and not the clear winner, Mac and Me.

Freddy Got Fingered is an unintentional masterpiece, the ultimate career self sabotage
Freddy got Fingered is like.... Imagine an entire film that exists purely to be a shitpost. It's hard to know if it's really funny or good or not, but you just see it and it's so stupid and weirdly self-defeating that you're either going to get a kick out of it or you won't. It knows what movies are supposed to be like and it's actively deciding to NOT be that at every turn no matter how weird or fucked up it might be, lol.
There's literally a line where the main guy is running through what he's spent money on to blow his fortune and it's obviously just him talking about the budget of the film. To this day, I completely believe the mindset was literally "Some idiot greenlit my movie? OKAY. Let's make sure to spend every single cent from the budget however we can just to make the most weirdly offensive thing possible!" and it KIND-OF WORKED.
Freddy Got Fingered is art. It's a piece of art.
It's a so bad it's good masterpiece.
@@dracocrusher Freddie Got Fingered makes a lot more sense if you view it as an angry deconstructive parody of Adam Sandler comedies.
It doesn't become good, but it makes more sense. You can look at a lot of the creative choices and think "ah, that's why this is here." I think it's trying to be to Adam Sandler comedies what It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is to Friends. ...The talent and restraint are not there to make this idea work.
without Freddy Got Fingered, we wouldn't have the gif of Lindsay Ellis getting frankfurters thrown at her face, which would be a loss for humanity

I can't imagine how Showgirls won in 1995 and Theodore Rex somehow wasn't even nominated
Theodore Rex was dumped straight to video so the Razzie voters must not have known it even existed 🦖
Theodore Rex is one of those special so bad it's good movies in my humble opinion. it was fun on a watch party I did.
@@EvasiveOne My best guess is that they were following the Oscars (pre-streaming) criteria for movies: it had to play for at least one week in at least one cinema in LA County during the calendar year, so if it was a STV release it would’ve been ineligible
The Razzie's People really should've implemented a "Direct To Video" category.
@@EvasiveOne One of my favorite things about Theodore Rex is that when the producer saw an early screening of Dragonheart at a film festival, he was so blown away by the CGI (Which looks crude in a few scenes by today's standards but was mind-blowing back then) that he knew there was no way they could release Theodore Rex into theaters with that as the competition. It was the same way the makers of Bubsy 3D reacted when they saw Mario 64.
If propaganda films like Hillary's America and Absolute Proof can win worst picture, I want to see that anti-trans doc from Epoch that keeps bombarding me with ads win next year

Yeah, where's Matt Walsh's "What is a Woman?", where known probable pedo who wrestles men in diapers and says sussy crap about the age of consent Matt Walsh talks to a sociology professor about what a woman is, gets a lecture about the nuances of gender roles in society, INTENTIONALLY CUTS THE EXPLANATION WITH A TIMELAPSE, and then TRAVELS THE FUCK TO AFRICA to ask some random African tribe JUST so he can get the answer "Men are people with penises, women are people with vaginas". All of this is extremely blatantly purely so he can try to claim Trans Women aren't Women for the sake of bigotry.
It's so weird and dishonest in how it's trying to take a kind-of interesting and nuanced idea of how we define sex and gender and just hammer at reality to make things fit the simplest elementary school definition possible. And even then, despite all the editing and trickery, Matt Walsh still comes across like a massive psycho who keeps bringing people into interviews under false pretenses and being told to leave when he inevitably acts like a Jackass to people just trying to explain basic gender theory to him, lol!
If you're talking about what is a woman? than YES, I would LOVE to see Matt Walsh win a razzie.
@bellbito7318 I don’t THINK that’s what they’re talking about, I think there talking about this anti-trans documentary from an organization called The Epoch Times, but he absolutely deserves a Razzie for that piece of trash
The razzies producers are liberals just like every other award show in Hollywood. Why do you think only conservative propaganda movies that win razzies and no liberal propaganda movies?
mommie dearest being a “worst picture” is wild because of how much of a camp classic it is and how beloved it is

same with showgirls istg
They also gave Shelley Duval worst actress for The Shining. They kinda just suck.
But I mean it’s bad
But that's just it. It wasn't *supposed* to be a camp classic. It was supposed to be a serious and disturbing biopic. Go into it with that in mind. Watch the movie and try to take it seriously. There's your Razzie.

I love it so much to the point where on my 5th birthday, a whole year after the movie came out, my parents got us a cat and they adopted her because her name was midnight like the cat in the movie. (RIP midnight you were the best cat ever) And I STILL watched it all the time for YEARS. Needless to say my parents weren’t surprised at all when I told them I liked girls years later. Especially considering my second favorite movie was Bandidas 😭
Catwoman (2004) was your awakening and I have to respect that!!

Also oh my god you unlocked a core memory. Back in like '02 or '03, My dad had this presumably illegal cable box that basically gave you access to premium channels like HBO and Starz for free. And me being a frequently unsupervised child would be watching it not knowing i was about to be exposed to copious amounts of nudity and intense violence at any moments notice. Saw many scenes of Swept Away and was spooked by how unsettling and "adult" it was. Felt like I was going to hell just looking at it. The guilt has never truly faded away. Never knew what movie that was until just now. I am free 😢
Swept Away was up there with Leonard Part 6 in how unpleasant it was to watch no kid should ever have to see that 🤮
I was not expecting a YungJunko-Evasive-Terrible-Movie crossover when I woke up today but holy shit am I glad it happened!
Gigli is the anti chasing Amy in a way?
17:40 I think "Leonard Part 6" is a riff on Cosby's character in "I Spy" (1965-68) where "Alexander Scott" had his crap together, "Leonard" is just whiffing it. Also I think it's a secret admission by Cosby that he was like the guy who was dating Leonard's daughter, because they are pretty much the same age. This was never a funny movie, not even in the 1980s.

Now, everytime the topic of ATLA is brought up, my dad always mentions, "oh yeah, Noah's in that movie! you remember?" and it's like, yes!! I do in fact remember you telling me that the shitty adaption of one of my favorite stories ever starred that kid you know!!
So anyway, that's how my Bacon number is 5

Movies tended to inspire trends. Saturday Night Fever brought disco to the mainstream. Indiana Jones inspired nerds everywhere to wear Stetson hats. Dirty Dancing made dirty dancing popular. Cocktail had the honor of inspiring bar owners everywhere to send their bartenders to classes so they could learn the whole "synchronized juggling of liquor bottles" gag to entertain the patrons. My aunt had to go to those classes and hated it because they had to stop everything they were doing to spend 5 minutes mixing one drink.

True story (though I may have misremembered details).
When I was in 8th grade, I went to Canada for space camp. The tour guide on our charter bus was this really tall guy. He told us that because of his height he had been cast as an extra in Battlefield Earth (they wanted all the Psychlos to be like 6'5" and over + they wore heels). I'm pretty sure he said upfront that the movie was known for being bad.
And then we watched the movie.
At least you have a film degree proper, Evasive. I majored in photography and by the time I graduated, my BVA degree was changed to "Media Arts" which is just vague enough for me to be a complete menace with it on Letterboxd. This video was excellent, look forward to seeing more on this channel.

Rambo returning to Vietnam in the second movie actually makes sense considering his PTSD.

How in the actual hell did the Tom Cruise cocktail-making movie win over Mac and Me.
Somethings are worth being forgotten to time
Probably because The Razzies wanted Tom Cruise to win Worst Picture the same year he won Best Picture with Rain Man.
Maybe because it birthed Kokomo.
To Mommy Dearest, the twins said abuse didn't happen, but in the book and movie, Christina said they weren't abused. Just her, and her brother were. Her brother did back up the abuse he and Christian both suffered. Which is something that happens to some families, where some kids are abused, and some are not. Which then can create another kind of tension between the kids.
I first watched Freddy Got Fingered when I had a mild fever as a child and I had a rather traumatic dream about Tom Green that night. I have loathed the movie with every fiber of my being since.
I'm shocked to find people who genuienly seem to like it. My friends used to send me the audio clip of him playing the piano with the hanging sausages to torment me over MSN Messenger back in the early 2000s. "Daddy would you like some sausage?"
Now this thing suddenly comes back to haunt me once more, I never knew it got a Razzie but from my point of view there is no film I know of that better deserves it.
Excellent video btw! I really do adore Showgirls as well.
getting sent Freddy Got Fingered clips over MSN Messenger sounds like a precious moment in history I was a Skype group chat kid it just wasn’t the same 💔
Fun Fact: We got Wild Wild West instead of Superman Lives, a movie where Nic Cage played Superman.
Is that the universe where Will Smith is Neo and goes on to become John Wick? ✏️
And that cancelled Nic Cage Superman originally had a Giant Spider Where Superman had to fight, Which ultimately ended up being the final product that we ONLY got to see. What was Warner Bros. Thinking?
I love Showgirls. I don't think it was taking itself too seriously even thought the subject matter was so traumatic. It's campy. If Striptese was like that it would have been good
There is an amazing video by Kennie J.D. about Showgirls 😉
From everything I’ve heard and seen, Verhoeven took it seriously. To him, it was a drama. It just became camp unintentionally because he didn’t realize what he was making.
have you seen the new Vinegar Syndrome release?? OMG! Perfection.
"It's a Ver-sace dress!"
@@LifesNeverHumDrum I doubt that!
Showgirls is a satire about certain aspects of American society, like the other Verhoeven movies: with Robocop he targets capitalism & consumer culture, Starship Troopers is about tendencies to militarism & fascism and with Showgirls he makes fun of America's dysfunctional & hypocritical relationship to nudity & exploitation of sexuality. 🙂
So it's not Verhoeven who doesn't get it - usually the other way around: Verhoeven makes a satire and the audience doesn't get it. ^^
The reason why Robocop & Starship Troopers were popular while Showgirls bombed:
Robocop & Starship Troopers used violence to lure the audience, while Showgirls used nudity. And Americans love violence but condemn nudity. 😂🤣
But while Showgirls bombed in the cinemas it was a hit with DVD/Blu Ray sales, because everybody watched it at home - when he's alone...
And here we are again at exactly that hypocrisy about sex Verhoeven pointed out with this movie. 😁😁😁😁
This is oddly more detailed and thought out than the Oscars Best Picture video lol
Watch Recollect’s video for the Oscars, and then watch this video as a suplement
I know this video was uploaded over a year ago so I doubt I’m the first person to mention this, but what made Halle Berry embracing winning a Razzie even more iconic was that it happened a couple of years after she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for Monster’s Ball, and she parodied her own Oscars acceptance speech
the best part of wild wild west is that it was made after the demise of superman lives and the same guy who got the spider into it wantted it in that movie first. dude just really loves spiders
Nominating streams and broadway pro shots? What even are the Razzies anymore? Snubbing United Passions cemented their fall from grace for me.
"United Passions" wasn't snubbed. It won a special category.
that dog getting launched out the window is the hardest I've laughed all week. Thank you for sitting through these garbo movies, it was worth it
We all know the Bill Murray joke that he did Garfield because it was directed by Joel Cohen (who he mistook for Joel Coen) but I think it's absolutely wild there is also an Etan Cohen out there and nobody has made *at least* a Funny or Die sketch out of this.
My dad REALLY wanted to see Holmes and Watson because, as he said, "Ethan Coen directed it, so it must be great!" Then I had to tell him the awful truth...
@@karolineCPH Let’s be real though, the film Gambit exists, it is absolutely terrible, and it was written by the actual Joel and Ethan Coen. There’s your triple bill right there.
@@MH90Wow, didn't know anything about that movie, but just watched the trailer and read some reviews... I guess you should never put artists on a pedestal 😅
Is the funny or die part a joke about how one of these is a Will Ferrel movie?
Funny how the Razzies went from the sex scene in a pool everyone wanted to see (Color of Night, 1994) to the worst sex scene in a pool (Showgirls, 1995)
I genuinely have no idea how Leonard Part 6 was ever made given that even Bill Cosby knew how bad it was. He was so ashamed of the movie, he actively warned people not to see it despite his fingerprints being all over the damn thing as the star, co-writer, co-producer and possibly de-facto co-director if the actual director is to be believed.
Thank you for putting yourself through this for us 🙏

As a Fincher fanboy, watching Tom Hooper's downfall unfold was the most gratifying thing in existence.

Is there some context to this that I'm missing out on?
@@matthewhunter1193 Tom Hooper's The King Speech won Best Picture and Best Director over The Social Network, which I usually wouldn't mind too much because it's the Oscars, who cares? But The King's Speech sporadically has such fundamentally bad filmmaking that it genuinely irritates me whenever I get reminded of this.
The fact that the King’s Speech won that year over The Social Network, Black Swan, Inception, The Fighter, True Grit, Winter’s Bone and Toy Story 3 was absolutely insane.
I can’t even express the shriek of excitement my roommate & I let out upon the release of a new Evasive vid. You’re our rare UA-cam darling & this addition tickled our every niche. More please forever. 🌹
Poor soul. I pictured you sitting alone on the couch suffering through these, and I only coped by knowing there were many thousands who had to suffer long before you in the movie theaters. Great video! Thank you for taking forty-six for the team! ❤
I love Paul Verhoven and Tom Green were both good sports about their Razzies, as well as the fact that their movies in particular are very much more fondly looked back on.
The choice to play the Zanarkand theme song when talking about the tragedy of couples going to see 50 Shades of Grey on Valentine's Day was truly an inspired one. A perfect song choice for such a tragically bad movie and love story. 50 Shades of Grey could never hold a candle to FFX's love story between Tidus and Yuna.
My brother and I loved Howard the Duck when we were kids, I must have watched it a dozen times. The 80s were weird.
Howard the Duck comic books were awesome satire. They had to ruin Howard’s legacy with that. fucking movie
Just fell to my knees learning that Tom Kenny was in Transformers 2
In High School, we had a turbo evangelical girl theology class, that pushed and lobbied for watching Kirk Cameron Movies disguised as "film study" and or teacher didn't catch on to it fast enough. I still feel emotionally scarred
He makes boring, mean-spirited morality plays that only people like him enjoy
36:57 - Will Smith had just come off two 4th of July successes: " Independence Day" in 1996 and "Men in Black" in 1997. Those producers thought it would work again with this movie.
Always amazed with the humor and editing of this channel. An 80 minute video that completely flew by
The student debt crisis is worth it solely because of this video.

I wonder how many of these films the Razzie judges actually saw. I read a really interesting article that the Razzie judges, unlike the Oscars, can nominate a film without having seen it. I know that the quality of a film is often subjective, but I find it hard to believe that, especially when it comes to "Not That Bad" category, there weren't worse movies released in those years than the ones that won the Razzie. It seems to me that they simply reward famous films that for some reason have acquired a bad reputation, rather than "truly" bad films.
The movie Kids was released in 1995 and was given an NC-17 rating.
"It received an NC-17 rating from the MPAA, but was released without a rating. Critical response was mixed, and the film grossed $20.4 million on a $1.5 million budget. It is now considered a cult classic."
Now, I know it says it was released without a rating, but I begged my mom to take me to it. My mom let me and my brother watch every Oscar movie and didn't care if we watched R rated movies, I actually kind of remember watching Howard the Duck. Anyway, the point is, I couldn't get in to Kids alone with my friends. I had to bring my mom and she brought my little brother 🤦🏼♀️. Needless to say, it was uncomfortable as fuck to watch that with my mom and brother. 🤦🏼♀️
I haven’t even seen that movie yet but I still know that’s a WILD choice
I forgot Xanadu was partly responsible for The Razzies 😂 I’m so proud of my fave.
And what an honor to learn that I Know Who Killed Me was released on my birthday!
I can’t believe I didn’t get a notification immediately for this! I’m still watching, but loving it so far. Also, on a scale of 0-10, how much of a crime would you say it is that Showgirls “won” over the other nominees that year? (Waterworld, The Scarlet Letter (1995), Congo, and….. It’s Pat)
Definitely a 10
Oh my god, “It’s Pat” was the same year??? Oh it was robbed of the Razzie then, at least Showgirls is entertaining as hell
Honestly, It’s Pat DESERVED a Proper Razzie, Than Showgirls. “It’s pat” is just Pre-Woke Disney planning to make Strange Worlds. Showgirls is sexy and hilarious. So as Sia’s Music, Sia’s Music Deserved a Proper Razzie but got robbed by My Pillow Guy’s Absolute Proof (2020) what a crime against humanity My Pillow Guy’s Absolute Proof is not a movie Sia’s Music IS a movie but a forgettable dumpster fire disaster one and even more predictable, and more generic and insulting. Razzies sucks!
Well, back then, Showgirls did deserve it more because it was seen as so spectacularly bad that the other movies just couldn't compare. These days, since it is considered either "so bad, it's good" or "had potential, but is deeply flawed", I guess you can say that the other movies deserve it more. So, on a scale of 0 to 10 for how the other movies were robbed of winning a Razzie because of Showgirls, I'd say a 0 when it first came out and maybe a 7 or 8 after Showgirls has gained camp cult movie status and/or has been reappraised as a good movie with bad publicity.

This was the most thoroughly entertaining thing I’ve seen in a while. I’m so inspired to watch all the “so bad it’s good”movies on this list. This video absolutely rocks
