I'll admit to seeing Hudson Hawk, which I didn't think was as bad as the critics made it out to be.

But if you're comparing return on investment, shouldn't #2 and #1 be reversed?

What! Dragon Wars isn't even on there! I am enraged!

[jonfitzsimon]

The countdown doesnt make any sense at all. Poseidon lost $100 million and it is at 22nd place and the "all time worse flop" in first place only lost $83 million. They should really rethink their system.

[idiotec]

They spent $37 million on "Howard the Duck?!" :eek:

I would of guessed at least $100 million!!! :p

[Eastwood]

For the record, I own Battlefield Earth on DVD :o

[IbanezBassist_v2]

Really?! You have a bomb in your house! Get it out quickly!;)

[Th3_Grim_Ripper]

What! Dragon Wars isn't even on there! I am enraged!
Agreed. I liked it better when it was Reign of Fire.

[Apples]

:eek: The only one on that list I've seen is Battlefield Earth, and I liked it.

[Eastwood]

I've seen #25, 24, 13, 10, 9, 8, 6, and 2.

The only reason I watched Alexander was because I was told it was literally the worst movie ever made. I did not disappoint.

yeha why isn't #1 #2??

[jaydajedi]

i own probaly all but 4 of theese movies lol
hudson hawk is a great movie i watch it quite often.
this by no means is a reflection of my movie taste i just literrally own about 6000 movies
i have about anything other than chick flicks and horror movies. (have ptsd from days as a flight search and rescue medic) the wierd thing is real blood dont bother me if someone is hurt its like second nature. but fake blood and sensless violance make me rally sick. strangley i love violant video games. lol

02. The Adventures of Pluto Nash
Budget: $100 million

[Stryfe666]
