One of Travolta’s most commercially successful films was called “Look Who’s Talking.” This film received mixed reviews but made an incredible amount of money at the box office. This caused studios to try and capitalize on the success of the film, as it received a sequel, “Look Who’s Talking Too,” which made less than 15% of what the original made.
The studio wanted to try one last time to make a sequel, with the third film being called “Look Who’s Talking Now.” The third movie was a box office disaster, losing more than $12 million due to low box office sales. It was also panned by critics and received a 0% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Baby Geniuses and Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2
"Baby Geniuses" was a 1999 comedy film about a bunch of babies that are, you guessed it, extremely smart. While most people would agree that it's hard to ruin a film about cute babies, the studio behind this film managed to do just that. The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews, with a 2% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The success of the original movie prompted the studios to make a sequel, "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2." Fortunately, this one was a box-office failure, which meant that the string of horrible films had come to an end. It was directed by American director Bob Clark, who unfortunately passed away just three years later.
Surfer, Dude
Matthew McConaughey is known as one of Hollywood's best actors. However, with the horrible premise and material he had to work with when acting in "Surfer, Dude," it seems that even McConaughey couldn't live up to the challenge. This film centers around a soul-searching surfer who experiences an existential crisis when there are no waves on the beach for over a month.
The film also stars Woody Harrelson, and the two joked about the film being one of their easiest jobs of all time. "Surfer, Dude" ended up making just over $50,000 against a budget of more than $6 million. It received a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 26% audience rating according to over 7,000 user reviews.
Megaforce
Megaforce was a 1982 passion project film made by Hal Needham, an American stuntman who began acting back in the late '50s. Needham decided to try his luck as a director in the late '70s and directed a total of twelve films in his decade of directorial career. He pitched the idea of the film to audiences, claiming it was "like no other movie ever made before."
The director also made sure to include himself as one of the film's actors, but unfortunately, "Megaforce" had poor box-office performance and lost almost three-quarters of its budget due to low ticket sales. It also received a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the director later admitting that he was completely wrong about what he believed the American movie audiences wanted at the time.
Bolero
Bo Derek's romantic drama film "Bolero" was her attempt at producing and starring in a film, but it was a self-centered, talentless waste of time and was treated by critics as such. Nobody at that time was interested in watching a 100-minute film. Having received some of the worst reviews of the year, the film barely brought back its budget, making about $9 million against a $7 million production budget.
"Bolero" was rated 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 17 different critics who all thought the film was trash. It won six Golden Raspberry Awards, which are basically awards for a film being the worst of the year. Its awards include "Worst Picture," "Worst Actress," "Worst Director," and "Worst Screenplay."
