These Are Bad Movies
As it says in the title of the article, these are all of the films (as of this writing) that have a 0% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. The only caveat being that we stuck to movies with at least 20 reviews. So, enjoy (the list, not the movies).
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)
Starring Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu, this film went for action and style over any kind of substance. Unfortunately the action and style weren't good either.
Warner Bros. Pictures, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)
One Missed Call (2008)
The original Japanese horror film of the same name scored a 44% on Rotten Tomatoes, leaving the remake lots of room for improvement. Instead they went the other way and made it way worse.
Intermedia Films, One Missed Call (2008)
Left Behind (2014)
When the Rapture strikes, millions of people disappear without a trace and chaos ensues for those left behind. Nicolas Cage's filmography is filled with both amazing and terrible movies. Left Behind is in the latter group. Not only is it bad, according to Entertainment Weekly's review it "barely registers as entertainment".
Entertainment One, Left Behind (2014)
A Thousand Words (2012)
It only takes one word to describe this unfunny Eddie Murphy comedy...Awful.
Paramount Pictures International, A Thousand Words (2012)
Pinocchio (2002)
In 1997 Roberto Begnini wrote, directed, and starred in the beautiful and heart-wrenching multi-award winning film, Life Is Beautiful. Five years later he wrote, directed, and starred in the worst adaptation of Pinocchio ever made.
Miramax Films, Pinocchio (2002)
Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (2004)
The first Baby Geniuses movie was released in 1999 made $36 million at the box office and holds a 2% Rotten Tomatoes score. But the people who made that movie look like geniuses compared to the team behind the sequel, Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 and its 0% score and $9.4 million box office haul.

National Lampoon's Gold Diggers (2003)
Oh how the National Lampoon name has fallen. For the generation that grew up in the 80s it's associated with the classic National Lampoon's Vacation comedies. But over the decades the brand has fallen into disrepute—in no small part to the many boring, unfunny messes they've put their name on. Case in point: National Lampoon's Gold Diggers.
Delfino Entertainment, National Lampoon's Gold Diggers (2003)
The Last Days of American Crime (2020)
It certainly didn't help that the film, which features violence and police brutality, was released during the time of the George Floyd protests. But a bad movie is a bad movie no matter when it's released, and that's what The Last Days of American Crime is.
Mandalay Pictures, The Last Days of American Crime (2020)
Jaws: The Revenge (1987)
Steven Spielberg had nothing to do with this laughably poor special-effects joke of a film. The fourth—and final—movie in the once proud Jaws franchise.
Universal Pictures, Jaws: The Revenge (1987)
The Ridiculous 6 (2015)
When Adam Sandler makes a good comedy, they are really good. But when he makes a bad one, they are terrible. Was he even trying with this one?
Happy Madison Productions, The Ridiculous 6 (2015)
Dark Crimes (2016)
If you're wondering what was the last film Jim Carrey was in before the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, it was 2016's dark, dreary, predictable, and unappealing thriller, Dark Crimes. Even the critics who praised Carrey's performance couldn't go so far as to give the film a rating that would elevate it above 0%.
Saban Films, Dark Crimes (2016)
Stratton (2017)
Director Simon West only has one film in his directorial filmography with a "Fresh" rating (The Expendables 2 (67%)). So, we probably shouldn't be surprised that, of his other less-than-stellar films, at least one earned a 0% score.
London Fields (2018)
One critic called the film, "car-crash film-making". The only difference is that when it comes to London Fields it's easy to look away.
Periscope Entertainment, London Fields (2018)
The Nutcracker (2010)
It isn't easy to totally ruin a film adaptation of one of the most beloved ballets of all time. But this 2010 version managed to do it by deviating from the original material with dark allusions to WWII German dictators and hated political parties. Merry Christmas kids!
HCC Media Group, The Nutcracker (2010)
Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991)
Unlike the 1980 film, The Blue Lagoon—which bombed with critics but took home over $58 million on a $4.5 million budget—the sequel made 11 years later failed miserably with both critics and audiences. Return to the Blue Lagoon added just 2.8 million box office dollars to its 0% Rotten Tomatoes score.
Price Entertainment, Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991)
Wagons East (1994)
The great John Candy suffered a heart attack and passed near the end of filming the movie. At least he never had to see the end result.
TriStar Pictures, Wagons East (1994)
Problem Child (1990)
This one was somewhat surprising. Not because Problem Child is a good movie (because it isn't). But it was a pretty big hit, making over $70 million on an $11 million budget. It also made Michael Oliver a child star and spawned a sequel film and a third made-for-TV movie.
Imagine Entertainment, Problem Child (1990)
Cabin Fever (2016)
Eli Roth's 2002 film Cabin Fever was a well-reviewed and financially successful horror movie. So, of course they decided to remake it 14 years later. This time Roth was just the screenwriter, with Travis Z taking over directing duties. Insert your own "'Z' stands for Zero" joke here.
Pelican Point Media, Cabin Fever (2016)
3 Strikes (2000)
Written and directed by DJ Pooh, remove the "h" from his last name and that's the best way to describe this low-brow, unfunny comedy.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 3 Strikes (2000)
The Disappointments Room (2016)
The name of the movie best describes any venue in which the film is shown.
Los Angeles Media Fund, The Disappointments Room (2016)
Redline (2007)
Redline could've been a good film had the producers of The Fast and the Furious chosen it from among the working titles they were considering. Instead it remained up for grabs, and this 2007 piece of junk snatched it up and proved that you need more than just some cool cars to make a good movie.
Chicago Pictures, Redline (2007)
Staying Alive (1983)
Sylvester Stallone wrote and directed a sequel to the iconic disco-era drama Saturday Night Fever. We know, it sounds like some kind of cinematic fever dream...But it's true! The movie also features the song, Far from Over by Sly's younger brother Frank Stallone. We couldn't make this up if we tried.
Paramount Pictures, Staying Alive (1983)
Look Who's Talking Now (1993)
Talk about diminishing returns: Look Who's Talking has a 58% Rotten Tomatoes score and made just under $300 million at the box office. Look Who's Talking Too raked in $120 million with a 13% Rotten score. Then there was the third film in the trilogy, Look Who's Talking Now, with it's 0% score and $10.3 million box office.
TriStar Pictures, Look Who's Talking Now (1993)
Highlander II: The Quickening (1991)
The tagline to the original Highlander movie was "There Can Be Only One." They should've taken their own advice.
Davis-Panzer Productions, Highlander II: The Quickening (1991)
Homecoming (2009)
Just go rewatch The O.C. instead of wasting your time on this un-scary and un-thrilling Mischa Barton 2007 horror-thriller.
Animus Films, Homecoming (2009)
Bolero (1984)
Bo Derek travels around the world in search of the perfect man to take her virginity in this "Worst Picture" Golden Raspberry Award-winner.
Precious Cargo (2016)
We understand why Mark-Paul Gosselaar would've said yes. But did Bruce Willis really need the money that bad? Yippee Ki-Boooooo!
Emmett Furla Oasis Films, Precious Cargo (2016)
Max Steel (2016)
The film was an attempt to create a franchise based on the Mattel action-figure toy line. But, as Variety put it in their review, that is "never, ever going to happen."
Dolphin Films, Max Steel (2016)
Killing Me Softly (2002)
With a Palm D'Or-winning director and Heather Graham and Joseph Fiennes in the lead rolls, this erotic thriller was set up for success. Instead it found abject failure.
The Montecito Picture Company, Killing Me Softly (2002)
Merci Docteur Rey (2002)
Critics said no thank you to this unsuccessful farce.
Merchant Ivory Productions, Merci Docteur Rey (2002)
Transylmania (2009)
In 2009 this horror-comedy set a record for the worst opening for a film playing in over 1,000 theaters: $263,941
Hill & Brand Entertainment, Transylmania (2009)
Gotti (2018)
How do you mess up a movie about one of the most violent, interesting, and personable mob bosses of the 20th Century? Gotti is how!
