Name ANY movie that's WORSE than "Tango & Cash."
The only rule here is that you MUST HAVE SEEN "Tango & Cash."

This isn't a "bad movie" thread.

It's a "worse than Tango & Cash" thread.

OK, let's have it.

2. "The Cable Guy" was truly awful, but...
..."Tango & Cash" was downright painful.

3. Did I have to actually sit through all of Tango & Cash
I wasn't dumb enough to do that but I was foolish enough to watch Leprechauns in the Hood staring Ice-T for a friend and I swear that took years off my life.

8. OK, now we're getting somewhere...
...Tango & Cash was a bad MOVIE, but Tom "One Nut" Green renders ANY movie UNWATCHABLE.

11. No, watch "Tango & Cash" tonight on Cinemax and see if you feel the same.
...and "Ishtar" HAS the reputation of being UNBELIEVABLY BAD.

I stand firm on the Tango & Cash ruling. Sorry.

52. Ishtar is a great movie. Always has been, always will be.
And I'm not being facetious. Took balls to make fun of the CIA and America during the Ronnie Raygun administration.

37. And what a crying shame, too
You have a rich TRUE story, fantastic historical backdrop, built in soundtrack of a great period in American music, costumes to die for, SCENERY UP THE YIN YAN....and they just screw it all up. COMPLETELY. It's like they were systematically determined to turn gold into lead....how can you miss with PEARL HARBOR, fachrissake? It WRITES itself!!!

41. See... you are exactly right...
.. and that is one main reason I feel that way about it..

The POTENTIAL of the movie they COULD have made, compared to what they did make...

Just awful... a travesty.

Why didn't they just make some lame ass movie about 2 guys who are in love with the same girl, and leave the whole Pearl Harbor thing out of it? Since it seems like the actual historic even of PH was written in as an afterthough.

it blows. it blows ass chunks.

13. Plan 9 was GENIUS, Battlefield Earth BLOWS...
...haven't seen Helen of Troy.

I only watched "Battlefield Earth" all the way through to PROVE TO MYSELF I could DO IT.

But I will GIVE YOU THAT ONE.

DEFINITELY about 1000 times worse than "Tango & Cash."

John Travolta's big, wet kiss on the decomposed cheek of L. Ron Hubbard.

16. I like Ed Wood's stuff, but it is worse than "Tango & Cash" in several
areas, technically-actually the storyline is cool, but the film is like bad cheesesauce.

29. No, the recent one from Italy (I think) that I couldn't watch all the way
through-no Brad Pitt in it. This was a full length film, not a miniseries, DL.

14. Oh, that would be legion - Top Gun, Last Samurai, Flashdance,
Rocky III and up, Dirty Dancing, and, like, a million other ones.

As far as Stallone movies go, I think Tango and Cash is about the best. I was really surprised how much I liked it.

18. Watch "Copland"...
...he pulled a "DeNiro / Raging Bull" stunt...packed on a LOT of extra pounds and played against his image.

"Copland" got mixed reviews because ANY movie with DeNiro, Stallone, Keitel and Liotta could NEVER live up to expectations.

15. Monster Island
This is the worst movie ever made! It looks like it was shot on a home video camera and no one in the cast can act ... except for Terence Stamp, who must have been flat broke and absolutely desperate for money when he made this film! And judging by the looks of it, there wasn't a lot of money in the budget to pay him.

It's bad ... really bad. Not campy ... not silly fun ... not tongue-in-cheek ... just plain bad.

36. I'm a boomer and actually saw it when it was fresh and playing at a
theater.
Hell, I've seen so many of them-"Attack of the Crab Monsters", "The Mole People", "The Monolith Monster", "Colossus of New York", "4-D Man", "Monster of Piedros Blancos"...

It was a movie that my friends and I actually walked out of the theatre to the box office and asked for our money back--it was so bad.

I've seen it once and I don't know what the Hell the plot was supposed to be - was there one? Totally a drug-induced script by Belushi on that one.

I still don't remember what the hell was going on.

Of course it all hinges on what you mean by "worse". This was a "Bad" ass movie.

OTOH, if you really do mean "worse", then I'd have to say HANGMEN with Sandra Bullock.

51. How about "Cop And A Half," starring Burt Reynolds.
Premise: Reynolds, a cop, is assigned a six-year-old, smartassed partner. Hilarity ensues.

Most memorable line:"I'm your worst nightmare, a kid with a badge."

Profoundly worthless.

Why the hell is this movie so bad when Marlon freakin Brando is in it?

I saw this with my late Stepfather when it first came out. The man loved movies and was easy to please (he really liked Waterworld, for example) and even he thought this thing was utter crap.
