I thought they should just make a completely new Flash film with Grant Gustin and just pretend Ezra Miller didn't exist. Seriously, we loved Grant Gustin as the Flash.
but wait...watch mojo called Ezra Miller a "they". god i hate anyone who pushes this crap. lol. Yeah his own career was shot down because of his personal choices prior to The Flash releasing. he's a dumbass for sure.

1000 words was the movie that calmed my mind the night my mother died. It wasn’t the best movie, but I will always be great full for the calm it gave me when my world was falling apart.
WB fired Johnny Depp. Ezra Miller threw shade at Depp over it. WB not only didn't fire Ezra, they doubled down on him. None of which has aged well in hindsight...
Eddie Murphy stepped away from mainstream acting because his brother died not because he couldn’t find work. Usually I love this channel but lately you guys don’t fact check anything
I think it’s why most call WatchMojo the armpit of RUclips. I honestly don’t mind some of their videos or topics that they do but most of their listings just seem off or completely unnecessary, like that “10 RUclipsrs who died too soon”. So, why the hell would you do a ranking video on RUclipsrs who passed away too soon?? And it’s not only that kind of insensitivity that bugs me but it’s the abrupt change in tone when they ask to subscribe. “😔. . . Sadly, they passed away.” “😀🤪Hey! Don’t forget to subscribe!!” “😔Number 1 . . .” I’m not sure if RUclips requires them to have that “subscribe” option thing in every video but if they do need to, couldn’t they’ve changed it to where it’s more appropriate and not just act insensitive when you’re doing a video about people passing. It’s one thing if it’s fictional characters like Superman or Goku but for people in real life is just uncalled for.
I feel bad for Hallie Berry because I like her a lot but seriously NO ONE can compare with Michelle Pfeiffer’s cat woman performance. It was and still is the best.
Michelle only got the part being one of Tim Burton’s friends. Also Eartha Kitt and Julie Newmar are still considered better. Michelle also cannot be cast as Catwoman ever again; as Tim can never direct a Batman film again. DC essentially fired both of them because they changed the material too much and lost too many endorsements at the time.
AGREED! Halle Berry deserved a better script with a better storyline. She was done dirty. Glad Halle would star in far better movies such as Their Eyes Were Watching God and John Wick 3: Parabellum. Zoe Kravitz was great as Catwoman in The Batman. But, Michelle Pfeiffer is STILL my favorite Catwoman as well. 😺❤
@@danavixen6274 I wouldn't consider Zoe Kravitz "great", but I'd also consider The Batman to be a worse movie than Halle Berry's Catwoman, and as I wrote above, Catwoman was absolute trash.
My father took me to see a movie in the big city, I was a 12 year old country girl. The movie turned out to be Showgirls. Nobody stopped him from doing this. The rape scene traumatized me for life.
28:35 While "The Love Guru" definitely bombed and was one of Mike Myers' worst performances, I would still say that "The Cat in the Hat" is the movie that REALLY murdered his celebrity status.
The actor who played the casino owner, Sam Karlman, in “Showgirls” was Al Ruscio, who was my professor in an English Drama class at Oakland University.
It's funny how actors today are nothing like the actors of yesterday. Today's names don't bring me to the theater anymore. Hollywood feels talentless at the moment.
It's less about the dry spell of talent and more the complete lack of consistently interesting movie releases. So many tired and rehashed plots, comic book superheroes and remakes of already beloved films that are tone deaf to the original films intent or fail to modernise them in ways that aren't simply trying to show "how progressive we all are now". I haven't been to a movie theatre in a decade, none of the films released have drawn me away from subscription based apps.
I wanted to disagree wurh you...but then I realised that every actor I was about to name that still gets me in the theater, is a leftover from the past.
It's also about being sensible. You can go to the theater. Pay $11 for a ticket, $20 in snacks/drinks etc and have to deal with other people. Using the public restroom. Or you can sit at home and watch the movie on your flat screen hd tv and pause it whenever you want. Get up and use your bathroom. Watch it again later if you want and pay less.
@@bsherderAlso that going to the movies was something special. The only time you could watch a movie was in the cinema. Then you had to wait for it to come out on video, or much later on tv. We had only 2 channels for a very long time. But it was something different seeing and hearing in the cinema. There were people who could not behave back then but, as I said before it was the only way to watch it so you didn’t leave. Now you can watch it on your mobile device while sitting in the cinema watching the same movie.
John Carter wasn't Taylor's fault in any way - he was actually incredible. The movie is criminally underrated! One of the best sci-fi movies in the last 25 years. The main reason that it bombed : Bad publicity... not giving it the title it was supposed to have - John Carter of Mars. Which would have given the movie a more intriguing allure. And actually make a connection to Burrough's work.
John Carter is a good movie however the Princess of Mars universe is a tough one to depict. Visually stunning comics but with complicated story telling makes it hard to really make succesful.
John Carter suffers from this dynamic where the source material invented a lot of sci-fi tropes, which were then used by many classic sci-fi films, so that when people saw John Carter, it seemed derivative and cliché unless they were fans of the original and knew that it was actually the origin of these things.
I haven't seen the movie, but I've seen clips of it in videos about movies that bombed. There's way too much brown in that movie. It's visually boring, aside from the rest of the problems, like it being a white savior story, where the white savior was previously a Confederate soldier fighting to keep people enslaved.
TBF Jaden Smith tanked his own acting career by starting acting in the first place, don't know if forced to by his parents or by his own choice and helped by them, but he's better suited for singing. At least, if anything, he can sing (without taking into consideration the quality of his songs, that's another topic)
Not even remotely. She was a nobody before it and then continued to work. Legend of Billie Jean Ruthless People Secret of My Success (Michael J Fox vehicle)
Ironically, Helen also had a recurring role in CW's Supergirl playing out of all characters, Supergirl's mother. The show also had former DC Comics alumni making recurring roles on that show such as Dean Cain & Teri Hatcher(Lois & Clark), and Lynda Carter(Wonder Woman).
You guys need to leave Elizabeth Berkley alone! Back in March of this year, The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures hosted a sold-out 35-mm screening of Showgirls, and Elizabeth made an amazing speech and mentioned how much it ment to the LGBTQIA community. She got not one or two but THREE standing ovations. Berkley returned to the big screen, playing the opening victim in Max Minghella's Shell, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (or TIFF). So she's doing just fine.
Halle Berry has worked consistantly since Catwoman and Showgirls is one of the best "so bad it's good" movies ever made. Thanks Jessie from saved by the Bell
I think she's not on the list because she didn't have much of a Movie Career prior to it. NM, replied partway through the list didn't realize they were going to include people who didn't have movie Careers prior.
@@timwong5908 that was why i updated my comment with "NM, replied partway through the list didn't realize they were going to include people who didn't have movie Careers prior."
I'm guessing that Gene Kelly also being a 68 year old actor known for his singing and dancing may not have found many roles in the 1980s. He was a shining star in the movie, giving a new generation a chance to watch the master in action. It was also an homage to his 1940s movie Cover Girl (where he also played Danny McGuire). I doubt one movie - especially one whose music went platinum - would douse his flame.
My biggest problem with this is trying to say ‘Zanadu’ was somehow Gene Kelly was at fault. He wasn’t the star. And from what I can see, it didn’t harm Olivia Newton-John’s career!
Yea, you guys have the 'Flash' & Ezra Miller thing backwards. Miller was originally quite well received as The Flash (at least everywhere I saw), but then he kept getting into more and more legal trouble, and the charges/accusations getting worse and worse (from theft, to physical assault, and beyond). The movie flopped because the audience, the people, were tired and fed up with Miller's shenanigans, and so they had no interest in his movie.
That was before 1000 Words. Norbit was in 2007, 1000 Words was in 2012. That said, his carreer didn't really tank, I think he's just more selective with his roles. He has been an actor for over 40 years by now and I doubt he needs the money. I also don't get why it's a bad thing that his movies are mostly produced by streaming services nowadays, Beverly Hills Cop 4 wasn't too bad.
I crack up every time I see that basketball scene from Catwoman. Halle Berry is a champ though for accepting the Razi in person. But I should add that her performance in Monster's Ball. She should have at least been nominated for an Oscar for that.
Uhm, Halle Berry was not only nominated for Best Actress for her role in Monster’s Ball , she also won the Oscar that year, becoming the first ( and so far only) black female to win the award. Who can forget that gorgeous dress that she wore and that awful kiss planted on her by Adrian Brody?
Halle Berry was NOT responsible for Catwoman sucking, she did the best she could with the script / direction she was given. I wish critics (like you) would stop blaming her for Jean-Christophe Comar choices as Director.
@@fastlane2273 Truth. And knowing full well she'd be up against the constant comparisons to Michelle Pfeiffer's truly epic Catwoman...her decision to take on the role was doomed from the start.
I couldn't enjoy Ezra's Barry Allen because he was so different from Grant's. CW made us fall in love with this character the way Grant played him. Lovable and relatable. Movie Flash came off as whiny and unconfident. He couldn't match Grant's charisma.
@@fukitweball All Andy does is harass others and accuse others with false claims. He even likes his own comment. If anyone is a troll. It's Andy house.
You missed place the actor in the movie "Xanadu". Gene Kelly was most popular in the 40's and 50's. By the time of this move in 1980, he wasn't as popular anymore. The actor in this movie who's carrier was ruined, was Michael Beck's. Just the year prior, he starred in the movie, "The Warriors", where he played Swan and he was expected to be the next big thing. But his movie ruined his carrier and he only got bit parts after that...
One great thing that did come out of Xanadu was an awesome soundtrack from Olivia Newton John and ELO. The soundtrack generated five top 40 hits with the song "Magic" reaching number one. The soundtrack album itself also peaked at number one.
You were mistaken for Sanda Bullock. She won both the Oscar and Razzie in the same year. She won the Oscar for The Blind Side a and won the Razzie for All About Steve in 2010.
Alicia Silverstone was the costar in Blast From the Past it was not a supporting role, and Geena Davis had a semi hit with The Long Kiss Goodnight the year after Cutthroat Island!
Eartha Kitt will always be the most iconic Catwoman. But, to slightly defend this list they did clarify Hallie was the first black woman in a multi million dollar movie. Not TV appearances.
@ Yeah. I was always attracted to the unusual stories. The first time I watched it, I remember both laughing and crying when she told Malcolm McDowell “I win.” Such a good movie.
PLEASE for the love of God quit with 'Superhero fatigue'. Its a myth perpetuated by creators of bad Super Hero movies. If you make good movies and release them one every month people will flock to them
Maybe not one every month, but other than that, yea, absolutely. There are a lot of people waiting for the third Spiderverse-movie, because the first two were awesome.
yeah too many making superhero movies had actual contempt for both the property and the audience for it, and that shows through in the product they presented
Adding Sharon Stone to this list is thoughtless and disgusting. She had a stroke and a brain bleed for a week. It took her seven years to recover from that. This is not only ignorant it's insensitive and heartless.
I was a kid in the 90s and grew up watching Saved By The Bell. I watched Showgirls as an adult and I’m sorry but I love it!! It’s campy and cheesy but I’m here for it!! FIGHT ME. Like this if you agree 👍🏻 👇
I watched 'Showgirls' over the holidays for the very first time and I think it makes a very nice companion piece to the film "Casino", making for a nice double feature; both are set in Las Vegas, both are very colorful and dramatically straightforward if not simplistic, and both were a pleasure to watch even though they are really only "empty calories", like a kind of cinematic junk food - they were close in their release date to "Batman and Robin", another piece of dramatically shallow cinematic eye-candy - there must have been something in the water in Hollywood around that time... but one shouldn't go to the movies only for cinematic spinach - "stop complaining and watch this, it's good for you", kind of fare
I worked on set design for after earth and got to meet shamalan and see early development photos and plot points. The bamboo swords were meant to be living crystals that could turn into any weapon you wanted but budget constraints changed them to bamboo 😂 i got to walk around in the spaceship set too. The lore of the movie is interesting. Damn shame it sucked
Three years before Xanadu, Gene Kelly starred in “Viva Knieval,” playing an alcoholic former stunt biker who mentored Evil. So, his career was obviously on a downward trajectory WELL before Xanadu tanked.
Superhero fatigue is a myth created by Hollywood to explain away their failures. That's proven every time there's an actual GOOD or at least entertaining superhero movie like this year's Deadpool & Wolverine. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and Spider-Man No Way Home certainly didn't suffer from this alleged "superhero fatigue". No, the blunt fact is that most DC and Marvel movies were either lackluster or outright sucked since the start of the 2020s.
I always loved grease 2 more than the original, and it wasnt until i became an adult that i found out how poorly it was received. And xanadu is one of my favorite movies haha i love listening to the soundtrack when i rollerskate
no, he just kept working, he's working now too any working actor will appear in both good and bad productions, but whether or not "movie stars" can do that and still remain "movie stars", I do not know; neither do I know if movie stars can play outside of the range of the roles that made them stars and remain "movie stars" - many such seem to make "passion projects" or take on roles beyond what the public wants to see them do, which then go on to bomb with the public, and while some stars recover from it, others don't the final decision is the paying audience's to make always
Actors getting punished for bad movies is so stupid to me, like they didn't write, produce, and direct that shit. they weren't the ones in charge, so why do they have to get their careers ruined over it?
It's a 'front of house' type thing. It's the same when people get mad at a store. They don't berate the execs that made the store policies. They don't yell at the owner of the store. Who do they get angry at? The cashier/floor staff member. Why? Because they're the first face people see when they walk in the door. Actors are the face of the movie/tv series, so when it bombs, people blame the actors instead of the writers, producers or directors.
I've said it once, twice, and I'll say it a 3rd time: STOP RIPPING ON CATWOMAN!!! It was a good movie! Ok.... How did Son of the Mask not place higher than 3rd? That movie was a TRAIN WRECK!
I like Showgirls. I still don't understand how that ruined Elizabeth Berkley's career. She should've been giving more chances. I've seen worse movies and performances by actors who still seem to get a chance after chance (ie: some Ben Afflick and Nicolas Cage movies).
The movie could’ve actually been very good, even with the graphic nature. Her acting along with the acting of several others was just atrocious and it destroyed the movie.
Correction: It was actually “Don’t stop the Music” that inspired the Razzies not Zanadu the creator said it himself he came out of seeing Don’t stop the music and thought it was so bad he wanted to honor bad movies every year.
The fact that Faye Dunnaway played a character named Selena in the movie, and then My Favorite Selena Quintanilla-Pérez had a cameo in the movie Don Juan Demarco with Faye is so crazy to me.
As a kid, I loved Grease. For some reason though, my parents wouldn't let me watch Grease 2. I still haven't seen it so I have no idea why I wasn't allowed to
@@mschemi4886 Off the top of my head? The ‘Reproduction’ musical number in the class room comes to mind… I personally prefer Grease 2 over 1. The guy changes to win the girl.
Catwoman was actually a good movie, but people didn't understand the movie. In the movie, there were many Catwomen throughout history and Selina Kyle's images was shown for a few seconds, but Patience Phillips (Halle Berry) was the one who was given the Catwoman persona in this movie. It also bombed because it had nothing to do with Batman.
Jayden didn't "have a career" He starred in vanity projects from his father. Other than "Pursuit of Happyness" (where he was a cute kid who barely spoke) he is an atrocious actor. He didn't have a career to ruin. * He is the ultimate nepo baby
I liked a 1,000 Words. The problem is that people normally went to an Eddie Murphy film specifically to hear Eddie Murphy talk, and that was the problem.

10:54 Having zero chemistry with Dane Cook should actually be considered a virtue.
I wouldn't worry too much about bad movies. They might end up on Mystery Science Theatre 3000!
Any actor who has since rebounded has no business on this list.
Yea, you guys have the 'Flash' & Ezra Miller thing backwards. Miller was originally quite well received as The Flash (at least everywhere I saw), but then he kept getting into more and more legal trouble, and the charges/accusations getting worse and worse (from theft, to physical assault, and beyond). The movie flopped because the audience, the people, were tired and fed up with Miller's shenanigans, and so they had no interest in his movie.
Showgirls didn't ruin Elizabeth Berkley's career, her caffeine pill freak out on Saved by the Bell did.
There is no such thing as superhero fatigue. It’s bad writing fatigue.
Have the greatest heroes and villains, but writers are not DC friendly 😢
On Eddie Murphy: Norbit was released in the theaters and did great!
That was before 1000 Words. Norbit was in 2007, 1000 Words was in 2012. That said, his carreer didn't really tank, I think he's just more selective with his roles. He has been an actor for over 40 years by now and I doubt he needs the money. I also don't get why it's a bad thing that his movies are mostly produced by streaming services nowadays, Beverly Hills Cop 4 wasn't too bad.
I crack up every time I see that basketball scene from Catwoman. Halle Berry is a champ though for accepting the Razi in person. But I should add that her performance in Monster's Ball. She should have at least been nominated for an Oscar for that.
Uhm, Halle Berry was not only nominated for Best Actress for her role in Monster’s Ball , she also won the Oscar that year, becoming the first ( and so far only) black female to win the award. Who can forget that gorgeous dress that she wore and that awful kiss planted on her by Adrian Brody?
Monsters was devastating. She got a check for catty kept her dignity and def her sense of humor. Sharon stone as well
The editing in that scene is atrocious. So many fast cuts, it's enough to give you motion sickness.
So true!
Halle Berry was NOT responsible for Catwoman sucking, she did the best she could with the script / direction she was given.
I wish critics (like you) would stop blaming her for Jean-Christophe Comar choices as Director.
Nobody forced her to be in the film
@@fastlane2273 Truth. And knowing full well she'd be up against the constant comparisons to Michelle Pfeiffer's truly epic Catwoman...her decision to take on the role was doomed from the start.
And she looked stunning, I insist writers and directors hate DC
24:37 “I bet The Board is spelled B-O-R-E-D!”

I couldn't enjoy Ezra's Barry Allen because he was so different from Grant's. CW made us fall in love with this character the way Grant played him. Lovable and relatable. Movie Flash came off as whiny and unconfident. He couldn't match Grant's charisma.
Showgirls is the most underrated film of all time. Verhoeven is a genius.
After earth is a joke of a movie. That's the power of nepotism. 😂🎉
@AndyHouse-v1mnah he’s right
@AndyHouse-v1m Hello Android. Need a reboot? 🎉
@@fukitweball All Andy does is harass others and accuse others with false claims. He even likes his own comment. If anyone is a troll. It's Andy house.
@AndyHouse-v1m if anyone is a troll. It's you because all you do is harass others In the comments. It's so sad that you like your own comment.

You missed place the actor in the movie "Xanadu". Gene Kelly was most popular in the 40's and 50's. By the time of this move in 1980, he wasn't as popular anymore. The actor in this movie who's carrier was ruined, was Michael Beck's. Just the year prior, he starred in the movie, "The Warriors", where he played Swan and he was expected to be the next big thing. But his movie ruined his carrier and he only got bit parts after that...
I love Xanadu, but he definitely seemed miscast in it.
One great thing that did come out of Xanadu was an awesome soundtrack from Olivia Newton John and ELO. The soundtrack generated five top 40 hits with the song "Magic" reaching number one. The soundtrack album itself also peaked at number one.
To be fair.. Jaden Smith didn't have a career before After Earth.
Didn't Halle Berry's career recovered from the Catwoman bomb?
She won an Oscar and a Razzie during that year, didn't she?
That was 2001
You were mistaken for Sanda Bullock. She won both the Oscar and Razzie in the same year. She won the Oscar for The Blind Side a and won the Razzie for All About Steve in 2010.
Alicia Silverstone was the costar in Blast From the Past it was not a supporting role, and Geena Davis had a semi hit with The Long Kiss Goodnight the year after Cutthroat Island!
@51.. the fact that people don't know that the 3rd Catwoman was a black woman when they had that Batman TV series in late 60s still amazes me😂
People forget Eartha Kitty as Catwoman? Really? I'm British and she sure as hell made an impression on me in the role in repeats.
@nicolamarchbank1846, that's good to hear.. a lot of my acquaintances and friends. I don't know who Rartha Kitt is
Eartha Kitt will always be the most iconic Catwoman. But, to slightly defend this list they did clarify Hallie was the first black woman in a multi million dollar movie. Not TV appearances.
@catmomof2261 i forgot about that part, I was literally listening in the background while cleaning up🤣
Lori Petty kicked ass in Tank Girl. Sad she disappeared after it.
That’s why it’s hard to hear it was a bomb. But it’s probably because the story was unusual.
@ Yeah. I was always attracted to the unusual stories. The first time I watched it, I remember both laughing and crying when she told Malcolm McDowell “I win.” Such a good movie.
Love that, heard margot robbie is playing tank girl. Loved petty in orange is the new black!
I loved her as Keanu's love interest in Point Break.
Loved her in league
PLEASE for the love of God quit with 'Superhero fatigue'. Its a myth perpetuated by creators of bad Super Hero movies. If you make good movies and release them one every month people will flock to them
Maybe not one every month, but other than that, yea, absolutely. There are a lot of people waiting for the third Spiderverse-movie, because the first two were awesome.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodoAt least we CAN agree on this. Can't wait for Beyond the Spiderverse. 🕷️ 🕸️❤
Yep. Superhero fatigue is a myth. Bad writing is an awful reality.
yeah too many making superhero movies had actual contempt for both the property and the audience for it, and that shows through in the product they presented
Adding Sharon Stone to this list is thoughtless and disgusting. She had a stroke and a brain bleed for a week. It took her seven years to recover from that. This is not only ignorant it's insensitive and heartless.
I always forget that John Oliver was in the "Love Guru".
Cutthroat Island is awesome. I watch it whenever it comes up!😆
Don't forget Rachel Zegler ruined her career before Off White & The Seven Dwarfs even released. lol
I was a kid in the 90s and grew up watching Saved By The Bell. I watched Showgirls as an adult and I’m sorry but I love it!! It’s campy and cheesy but I’m here for it!! FIGHT ME. Like this if you agree 👍🏻 👇
Love Show Girls❤
I watched 'Showgirls' over the holidays for the very first time and I think it makes a very nice companion piece to the film "Casino", making for a nice double feature; both are set in Las Vegas, both are very colorful and dramatically straightforward if not simplistic, and both were a pleasure to watch even though they are really only "empty calories", like a kind of cinematic junk food - they were close in their release date to "Batman and Robin", another piece of dramatically shallow cinematic eye-candy - there must have been something in the water in Hollywood around that time...
but one shouldn't go to the movies only for cinematic spinach - "stop complaining and watch this, it's good for you", kind of fare
I worked on set design for after earth and got to meet shamalan and see early development photos and plot points. The bamboo swords were meant to be living crystals that could turn into any weapon you wanted but budget constraints changed them to bamboo 😂 i got to walk around in the spaceship set too. The lore of the movie is interesting. Damn shame it sucked
If you find out your acting with Ja Rule, Quit or get fired! 😂
Three years before Xanadu, Gene Kelly starred in “Viva Knieval,” playing an alcoholic former stunt biker who mentored Evil.
So, his career was obviously on a downward trajectory WELL before Xanadu tanked.
Superhero fatigue is a myth created by Hollywood to explain away their failures. That's proven every time there's an actual GOOD or at least entertaining superhero movie like this year's Deadpool & Wolverine. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and Spider-Man No Way Home certainly didn't suffer from this alleged "superhero fatigue". No, the blunt fact is that most DC and Marvel movies were either lackluster or outright sucked since the start of the 2020s.
Earthra Kitt WAS one of the original Catwomen n she was beautiful. Star Trek had another amazing black actress in a lead role. I do my research
1. Beetlejuice 2
2. The Munsters (Rob Zombie)
3. Wicked
4. The Many Saints of Newark
5. Moana 2
3 of those were the biggest box office hits of 2024 you know.
@filmbuffo5616 box office means many people bought tickets.... doesn't mean they enjoyed the movie. The list still stands lol
30:15 - 30:25 - That's exactly what it is supposed to be... The same as RoboCop and Starship Troopers. That's the genius of Paul Verhoeven's films.
I think the minutes of content Watch Mojo got out of "Son of the Mask" are more than the actual movie 😬
Halle Berry fell to the Best Actress Oscar curse...the only one whose managed to avoid it is Meryl Streep...
I always loved grease 2 more than the original, and it wasnt until i became an adult that i found out how poorly it was received. And xanadu is one of my favorite movies haha i love listening to the soundtrack when i rollerskate
To be fair.. Eddie Murphy’s career died when he started playing multiple characters in a single movie over and over again…
no, he just kept working, he's working now too
any working actor will appear in both good and bad productions, but whether or not "movie stars" can do that and still remain "movie stars", I do not know; neither do I know if movie stars can play outside of the range of the roles that made them stars and remain "movie stars" - many such seem to make "passion projects" or take on roles beyond what the public wants to see them do, which then go on to bomb with the public, and while some stars recover from it, others don't
the final decision is the paying audience's to make always
Actors getting punished for bad movies is so stupid to me, like they didn't write, produce, and direct that shit. they weren't the ones in charge, so why do they have to get their careers ruined over it?
Watchmojo tends to exaggerate shit at times.
No body reads the credits mate
It's a 'front of house' type thing. It's the same when people get mad at a store. They don't berate the execs that made the store policies. They don't yell at the owner of the store. Who do they get angry at? The cashier/floor staff member. Why? Because they're the first face people see when they walk in the door. Actors are the face of the movie/tv series, so when it bombs, people blame the actors instead of the writers, producers or directors.
they are the main expense, their salaries are in the bank before the cameras start to roll
I've said it once, twice, and I'll say it a 3rd time: STOP RIPPING ON CATWOMAN!!! It was a good movie!
Ok.... How did Son of the Mask not place higher than 3rd? That movie was a TRAIN WRECK!
I like Showgirls. I still don't understand how that ruined Elizabeth Berkley's career. She should've been giving more chances. I've seen worse movies and performances by actors who still seem to get a chance after chance (ie: some Ben Afflick and Nicolas Cage movies).
Sandy's outfit at the end of Grease is the only major peeve that those that have watched the movie Grease in the movie theaters had then.
This sounds like a fascinating, if somewhat depressing, look at Hollywood. It's a reminder that even big names can experience setbacks.
Silent Dane Cook and Dennis Rodman was unsettling as hell 💀
Johnny Depp as a sidekick in The Lone Ranger.
As a 12 year old Boy I thought Elizabeth Berkley was Great in Showgirls (1995) 😍🤤. But I always wondered why I didn't see her in a movie again.
First Wives Club
The movie could’ve actually been very good, even with the graphic nature. Her acting along with the acting of several others was just atrocious and it destroyed the movie.
Wow, those grammarly ads are bad enough, but the video game ones could save choking victims in restaurants.
Correction: It was actually “Don’t stop the Music” that inspired the Razzies not Zanadu the creator said it himself he came out of seeing Don’t stop the music and thought it was so bad he wanted to honor bad movies every year.
The fact that Faye Dunnaway played a character named Selena in the movie, and then My Favorite Selena Quintanilla-Pérez had a cameo in the movie Don Juan Demarco with Faye is so crazy to me.
I’ve only seen After Earth, The Flash, Cutthroat Island, Batman & Robin, John Carter and Son Of The Mask.
Loved Grease 2
As a kid, I loved Grease. For some reason though, my parents wouldn't let me watch Grease 2. I still haven't seen it so I have no idea why I wasn't allowed to
@@mschemi4886Go watch it. It has a charm that reminds me of the Superman identity thing. Soundtrack was good as well.
@@mschemi4886
Off the top of my head?
The ‘Reproduction’ musical number in the class room comes to mind…
I personally prefer Grease 2 over 1. The guy changes to win the girl.
@@wildling_wolf I'll have to watch it one day. I used to love Sandy's transformation in Grease. I wanted to be her lol
It's almost as if a celebrity with a bad scenario and even worse dialogues isn't enough. 🧐
Catwoman was actually a good movie, but people didn't understand the movie. In the movie, there were many Catwomen throughout history and Selina Kyle's images was shown for a few seconds, but Patience Phillips (Halle Berry) was the one who was given the Catwoman persona in this movie. It also bombed because it had nothing to do with Batman.
Jayden didn't "have a career"
He starred in vanity projects from his father. Other than "Pursuit of Happyness" (where he was a cute kid who barely spoke) he is an atrocious actor. He didn't have a career to ruin.

He is the ultimate nepo baby
Tank Girl HAS to be one of the most under-rated films of history.
I have never seen most of these movies no wonder they flopped at the theaters I would have gone again and again and again
22:28 I never understood the hate for "Freddy". It was exactly Tom Green style humor and i found it hilarious back then.
Carrot top went heavy on the plastic surgery. Lol
Halle Berry’s career might have had a hiccup but it was hardly killed
Why does 26:30 remind of "do you know the muffin man. The muffin man? The muffin man "
I liked a 1,000 Words. The problem is that people normally went to an Eddie Murphy film specifically to hear Eddie Murphy talk, and that was the problem.
Ezra Miller
He's just a bad actor overall. 🙄
Awww.... I liked him in "Perks of being a wallflower".
I don’t think he’s a bad actor. But he’s definetely a bad person
Halfway through the listing I’m realising 2 of the stars of Bonnie and Clyde are on this list/Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.
3 stars of A League of Their Own as well. Madonna, Lori Petti, and Genna Davis.
John Travolta - Battlefield Earth. After Pulp Fiction anything he touched turned to gold. Then came Battlefield Earth.
"Swept Away" didn't ruin Madonna's acting career - she never had one. Ditto Tom Green.
Damn... who knew A League of Their Own would be as good as it got for the two ladies who played the sisters in the film...
I loved that movie "It's pat", but you gotta be a connoisseur of the absurd...
Steven Seagal looks exactly like my dad did at that age I can’t see his face without bawling
