I have wanted to do this list for a LONG time and I have finally gotten around to putting it all together. This is a selection of the absolute worst scenes in movies. Prepare to cringe!
If horror movies terrify you, don’t worry about this scene – it is about as scary as an episode of Sesame Street. How they managed to get funding to make more movies after this mess I do not know. In this scene, the family parakeet kills its mate and then attacks the family.
Here we see Linda Blair of Exorcist fame wearing extremely large shoulder pads, followed by a scene of some guy doing a lot of yelling for no apparent reason. Fortunately, when the yelling guy harasses Linda, she remains completely calm… in fact, she remains about as calm as the piece of wood that taught her how to act.
In this clip we have the Worst. Fight. Scene. Ever. You just have to watch it to believe it – there is really nothing I can say about it.
In this scene we see the beast (a Russian scientist transformed in to a monster by radiation) strangling Jim. The problem is – it kinda looks like he is trying to get it on with him! Eventually Jim’s friend shoots the monster – though you wouldn’t know it except for the sound effects. Best line: “Jim… are you alright?”
Superman IV has to be the worst of the Superman franchise of movies. In this one we see bad acting from otherwise good actors, as well as special effects that can only be called special in the sense of a “special” school. When the girl (or should I say doll) flies out the window it is hysterical.
In this clip we see the big bad shark eating people – lots of people, people on rafts, people on jetskis, people diving off boats. Basically, that is it. Om nom nom nom.
In this scene we see what I would consider to be the worst car chase in movies. The production team obviously couldn’t afford bullets or damage to the cars so the cops just wave the bad guy over. The best part, of course, is the gravity defying driving – you need to see it to believe it. Best line? “Don’t tell me you stole this car!” “I won’t then.”
In this scene, the geeky friend of the teen witch is magically transformed in to a “hip chick” so she can impress the school badass. This scene features what I would consider to be the worst rap in history (yes – even worse than Madonna’s rap in American Life). Check out the hip moves and awesome lyrics. Best line? “Look how funky he is!”
Warning: This clip contains tacky scenes of b-grade violence. Watching this clip it is hard to believe that Nicholas Cage is an Oscar winning actor! This is absolutely the pits. After a ridiculously lame fight involving the tearing off of a fake beard, Cage simply loses control and basically screams a lot for no reason. Nice. Best line? “Come on bitch! Alright! Alright! Okay baby girl! Who sent ya?! Who sent ya?!”
Here we have a combination of bad acting, bad script writing, insanity, and perhaps the most evil mother in film history. Mama’s behavior in this scene later caused the poor little girl (Sybil) to get multiple personalities. Best line? “Now don’t worry, I’m not going to hit you this time. This time I’m only gonna kick ya!”




















So many bad movies, so little time…
Lots of cringe-worthy moments here. Probably won’t be able to watch all the clips in one sitting, though. And all subsequent commenters behave yourself. I mean it. This is me, setting a good example.
*smile
11. Ocean’s 12…..I refuse to watch that movie just because of the Julia Roberts lookalike scene. This was written by actors for actors and is complete crap. I understand that this is not in this list because also the rest of the movie sucks too but that scene for me makes a sub-par movie become a bad one.
thats a clip from superman iv at #6, I assume they meant that one and not Superman 2, cause 2 was pretty good
and also #7 should be beast
Oh….I like Ocean’s 12
jayfray: that isn’t superman 2, i think it is 4
Ahhhhh! So many bad movies! My eyes are killing me!
DiscHuker: you are right – thanks. I have fixed it
…I think my eyes are bleeding.
Undefeatable was hilarious!!
Jeez, I could think of about 50 others
Hayden Christenson and Natalie Portman trying to work through their feelings in Attack of the Clones was excruciating to watch.
In Ichi the Killer when that chick got her ***** cut off, YIKES!!!
John Travolta’s “I’m so crazy I’m cool” schtick in Broken Arrow, come to think of it, any scene with John Travolta after Pulp Fiction.
The entire Lady in the Water movie.
I’m sure I’ll think of more later.
Sofia Coppola in the Godfather 3. good lord.
I have never heard of most of these movies, but that may be a good thing.
Great list, i can imagine this wasn’t easy to put together, considering there are sooooo many horrible acting scenes to choose from.
Shark Attack has the worst line of all time in it…for those of you who know what I’m talking about, it’s too horrendous to repeat. Check it out on YouTube.
Hey Jfrater: YOu should do “Worst Movie Lines Ever” list!
I mean “Shark Attack 3″
#8 doesn’t belong on this list. It’s more of a “It’s so bad it’s good” scenes and not mind-numbingly awful like the rest of the selections on the list.
this is a list that would merit a sequel at some point.
#4 RPM looks like a movie I gotta check out, I love a certain kind of bad
as for Unbeatable, I think that would make Ed Wood squirm
otay: believe it or not, with all the video editing, this one took me around 6 hours!
warrrreagl – like that comment about setting an example and behaving yourself.
I’m surprised you don’t have a scene from “Planet 9 from Outer Space” That movie is a mess!!
4 might be my new favorite movie, but the dialogue during the fight in number 8 makes 8 a close second.
Just had a chance to watch # 8 so far. Too funny!!!
Pretty sure they did the ole reverse the film trick on the slow mo close ups of the punches. Another words start with the fist pressing against the face and pull back quickly. Then reverse the film.
Best line is at the end when the guy has a hook through his eye. The girl says “keep an eye out for me”
LMAO at number 10!
Besides BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS, no cheesy movies? For that matter, no musicals? Boy. Some people.
OK just watched # 4. OK on this one they obviously reversed the film image because the steering wheel is on the wrong side.
(Just kidding everybody)
OMG Unbeatable, lol i think me, a couple of friends and a half gallon of vodka could film a better fighting scene than that one.
Regarding #3: You have to admit, he WAS pretty funky.
*Falls over laughing*
Alextenn: okay – yeah. I didn’t want to admit it but I am kinda jealous of his skills.
ohh so many bad movies… cant watch them all or my eyes might bleed… great list. I have seen most of them and they are realy bad scences your talking about here… most of the movies were really bad…
What!?! Nothing from Highlander II!
Another Good list. I love #3. Robin Lively, who plays the title character, must have had a spell cast on her career by a real witch. Ms. Lively was very beautiful and a pretty decent actress, but everything she made was CRAP!!
OK I just watched #9. Check out the store keeper in the beginning when he mentions deep se fishing.It looks like he almost forgot to make that reeling in motion with his hands because he was too concentrated on remembering his lines. Also was that the most over the top acting in the world from the screaming dude or what? One more thing, what happen to the rear view mirror in the car Linda Blair was driving? Maybe it was knocked off with one of her shoulder pads when she got into the car
First of all, if you can’t take a hint (from a couple of others who already said it), it’s “The BeAst of Yucca Flats”. BOY, I’M SO HELPFUL!
Second, WOOHOO for Jfrater Youtube channel!
Wow, so you did all the videos yourself, thanks for that big effort! Good stuff all around.
Top That!
That was by far the best thing I have ever seen in my life….it is not humanly possible to top that.
dude that teen witch ***** is unreal hahah
This is the worst scene ever. DO NOT WATCH THIS CLIP! I’m serious, you will regret it if you do.
OK just watched # 5 The first guy that dove off the boat right into the sharks mouth looks like he might have a chance. I mean he wasn’t even chewed up. It looks he went right into the gullet of the shark without a scratch. I’m thinking he could wiggle around and feel around for the shark’s heart and crush it with his hands and then wait for the shark to die and the crawl out . (Just a thought)
Um, what happened with the profile links on everyone’s names? They appeared a few hours ago…
YOU DIDN’T GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO PROVE THEMSELVES!
haha, nice try Yogi Barrister. You’re not rick rollin me! I’m too savvy!
oh, nevermind, i actually watched the clip. I think I’d prefer to be rickrolled. Ugh
Sorry for the unfounded accusation
Superman IV was ridiculous… Christopher Reeves, you deserved your fate…
I always heard Sybil was such a good film?
Maybe they mistook memorable with quality.
Nobody deserves to die because they made a *****ty movie
Kman, you insensitive prick.
I hope you have a son
A beautiful articulate son
And i hope he gets paralyzed
lol ^^^ i love that movie.. but anyway, in that situation he would simply cease to be my son…
MOMMIE FREAKIN DEAREST over acting at its best (or worst) I can never look at wire hangers the same again
Check and Mate!
Your’e pretty good
Jamie, maybe you should delete my link to PINK FLAMINGOS #37. Anybody who has seen the ending of that movie knows what I’m talking about. It’s lunch time here in California and now I’ve lost my appetite.
Yogi Barrister: ARGH! Was that for real?!?!?!!?!? It has NEARLY put me off my wine – and that is REALLY saying a lot. I feel sick!
Oh. my. That…was the highlight of my day. I think I should find Undefeatable, because the rest of that movie has to be just as funny as that fight scene.
KMan/NeoLudd: I seem to recall hearing that in a movie just the other day, but I’ll be damned if I can remember what it is.
Oh, come on – Teen Witch is amazing. According to Wikipedia, it’s a cult classic….
Courtney (#15): Oh my god, I remember the line you’re talking about. It *did* actually make #1 on the last “worst movie lines” list I saw on some other website. Freaking hilarious, especially with how the girl reacts. You could type it here, but it doesn’t have the same impact without the *****ty acting and completely nonchalant way the guy says it. I suggest everyone YouTube it, classic.
Jamie, yeah that was for real. I apologize for putting that up there. If you make a list of the most revolting scenes, you’ve got your #1.
Don’t forget the cheesy first-person mode in Doom. And all of Ultraviolet.
Why are there so many bad movies? WHY?! lol
Have you watched Spice World Jamie? Honestly… Because my sister who is 10 years younger than me made me watch that movie over and over again. I believe that this list deserves an honourable mention for that piece of crap.
Oh and Gina (#52): As several people on this site will tell you (specifically Randall) Wikipedia is not the all knowing Yahweh as far as knowledge goes. You need to follow up your comments with something better than that.
Ok, I’m going back to forums… everybody listen to warrrreagl and behave.
Atleast one of these should be included if the”see ya!” fight scene is on the list
from bollywood with love:

I found this movie on netflix a few weeks ago called redboy 13 and it is such a goofy, badly acted, way way low budget film,I love it. Youtube only has this 1 clip.
Okay, I hadn’t seen most of these. 10, 9, 8, 7. Nothing so bad.
Then #6. I swear by the Flying Spaghetti Monster that that clip from Superman #4 is absolutely excruciating to watch. Even at 9 minutes or so, I had to stop halfway through. I’d sooner watch 2 girls, 1 cup all day long than ever see any part of Superman 4 again. If these are ordered by badness, I dread seeing #5-#1….
