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!”




















SocialButterfly – So wait, are you trying to tell me that Wikipedia does NOT provide well researched information?!?
Man, I think I have to sit down…
I had never heard of Undefeatable before! But LMAO, that fight scene should have been in the top five!…..I hope I can still get that movie.
the last scene of star wars christmas special should get an honorable mention
i think that this is the worst fight scene ever, although the others are pretty bad too.
ROTFLMAO at the Undefeatable clip… it’s so lame!
Teen Witch is probably my favorite terrible movie. We constantly watch it just to laugh at it’s unintentional humor. The “I Like Boys” cheerleader song is pretty hilarious as well.
Wow, I saw Nightmare on Elm Street 2 and I don’t even remember that scene0_o
I guess the trauma blocked me from remembering it=D
Wow…Undefeatable. GREATEST FIGHT SCENE EVER. It was certainly entertaining…and such a joyous end.
That car chase killed me on the inside…no, I lied, Teen Witch drugged, raped, and killed me on the inside.
Sybil wasn’t too bad, the part in the past I guess was kinda cool, and done badly in a good way that only added. I dunno, Teen Witch was the worst thing I’ve ever seen ever, so that shoulda been first-_-
Wow, I remember superman having super cool breath, super heated laser vision, x-ray vision, and all this on top of being really fast and strong… But when did the entire brick-laying vision happen? Shouldn’t someone alert the union?
Oh my, these are all so ENTERTAINING! #1 is my favourite, absolutely hilarious.
10: Love birds not parakeets.
Melody Kitn: Damn skippy on the UltraViolet. Creepy little kid.
This list is too funny! Thanks for the good laugh JFrater!
If you thought Superman IV was terrible, check out Bollywood’s 1980s version of Superman and Spiderwoman! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5Pjo0WjBcs Mind-blowing effects there.
Also worth checking out, Bollywood’s remake of Michael Jackson’s Thriller. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbvP7dT3Dx0
i thought #10 was scary…
http://youtube.com/watch?v=tm2s5mPSp4M&feature=related Heres a montage of horrible scenes
@JFrater:
You just got +1 cool points for using “Om nom nom nom” in one of your lists.
Not to be mean to Pat Swayaze, a good actor with some fine films but the nobody puts Baby in the corner scene was downright bad (from Dirty Dancing).
Here’s hoping he makes a full recovery.
@JFater:
By the way, you forgot this little “gem”.
Its so horrible, its hilarious:
Its where the line, “Its garbage day!” came from.
YEAH! Highlander II! ny scene would make the list!
holy freakin crap!!! that teen witch scene is amazingly bad. somebody, at the time, thought that was a good idea. would i have liked it then?
makes you wonder what we are currently doing that we will look back on with this amount of unbelief and laughter.
Killer Parakeets……
#3: I’m completely jealous of the dance moves and the rapping.
I wish I was that good.
What about the Entirety of The Guyver…Ugh!
LadyHawk. Fantasy movie 80′ pop soundtrack.
This should have been worst movies or Box Office bombs 2. So many that should never be mentioned again like Cruel Intentions 3, Starship Troopers 2, and Dragon Wars(D-Wars).
Wow! That Undefeatable fight scene IS horrible. I’ve seen better orchestrated monkey poo-fights.
that’s not a parakeet in the Nightmare scene – that’s a peachface lovebird!
The worst Christopher Reeves “Superman” is still better than the best Brandon Routh “Superman” by orders of magnitudes.
Anything out out of the B movie “Hobgoblins” could be on here, I had the displeasure of watching it, perhaps the worst movie of all-time. I actually like watching B-movies just to laugh at how bad they are(mostly due to Mystery Science Theater 3000)but this is the worst film ever, it’s so bad that you can’t laugh at it.
Two clip-based lists in a row!! I’m going to be here all day watching these!!!! Jamie, something short and text-based for the next list, please.
This list has the potential to be hundreds of thousands of scenes long!! But honestly, number eight is so horrible it’s genius!
Heey guys
I knw this seems wierd but I made a movie for school and I was wonderig if some of you guys could give me some criticism on it. The quality is bad bcuase i had to convert it so please excuse that.
Part 2:
Hey I made two movies for school and I was wondering if you guys could give me some critismism

Did people have problems commenting over night?
I was Trying to get on here a few hours ago it said page loaded but everything remained blank so i figured it was just being maintenance. don’t know if that helps any.
D holmes
lol that scene is awesome ‘muhahaha’
I came on at about two in the morning and nothing ever showed up when I clicked a list.
Jamie #91 – I tried to log on to the site to watch the clips about 11am-12 noon Korean time (?early morning GMT/middle of night USA) and kept getting a message about not being able to connect to the server. It’s now mid-evening here and I’m on.
No Troll 2?
“They’re eating her! And they’re going to eat me! Oh my Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodddddddd!”
THE BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEAST! BEAST! BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST!
Well, can’t say I didn’t try.
Jamie: Outage times on the east coast; 11pm – 4am, maybe more. I don’t know about anymore than that, Kinda got tired of waiting.
Omg I LOVE Teen Witch! It successfully manages to be the campiest and most dated representation of 80s teen movies! I LOVE IT!
If I had stumbled on the clip for “Undefeatable”, I would have assumed that it was a parody. Someone please tell me that that isn’t an attempt at drama.
Shark Attack *3*???? They were allowed back into the water? Had anyone connected to the film researched about how big great whites actually are?
I have never seen any of these films, and after seeing these clips now don’t ever want to.
FWIW, the ratings for these films from IMBD are:
Elm St 4.7 – Grotesque 3.6 – Undefeatable 3.2 – Yucca Flats 2.5 (worst) – Superman 3.3 – Shark Attack 2.7 – RPM 3.5 – Teen Witch 5.7 – Deadfall 3.6 – Sybil 7.6 (best)
lol @ “i hope you have a son, a beautiful articulate son!!
DONT YOU PUT THAT ON ME!!!!
hahahahahahah
awesome bad list !!!
That mother on Sybil is so f**king nasty! Who ever did her to even create poor little Sybil in the first place?!
I stopped watching after I saw the Undefeatable fighting scene…it was so pathetic.
Poor litle girl
Shark Attack 3 is the BEST MOVIE EVER! I love it! It’s so terribly wrong!
astraya: In the movie, the main characters discover that an extinct megalodon (zoomed-in great white) is swimming around in the water while a big corporation covers it up so they can open their new underwater fiber optics system (that the shark has taken a liking to).
So no one in the water had any idea that there was a shark purposefully hanging around waiting to eat them.
I’m surprised that the “No Wire Hangers” scene from Mommy Dearest was omitted. child abuse was never so funny.
That scene in “Teen Witch” was used by Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone (now the brains behind SNL’s Digital Shorts) in a TRL type spoof about the rise and fall of a group of white rappers called Dude-atude (the lame whiteboys in the clip)that they did for Channel101.com
Here’s the link:
http://channel101.com/shows/view.php?media_id=135
ps – Also check out “The ‘Bu” also on Channel101. They did that too
saw on zap2it.com/tv, they’re remaking teen witch. looks like you’ll soon have some material for a followup list!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAH! The whole dialogue for Undefeatable: ‘errrrrnnnnmmm’ ‘ mmmmryaaaaaa’ ‘yarrrr’ ‘harr’ ‘ yrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaarrrr’ ‘yarrrr’
‘hhhhhrrrrrnnnnnaaa’ ‘aaaarrr’ ‘yaaaa’
HAHAHAHA! At one point there is a punch sound and no-ones even throwing any *****ing punches! ahahaahahah. And at the start when the dude licks the knife…ahahahaahaahahh!
#8- Longest three minutes and nineteen seconds of my life.
#5- I haven’t laughed that hard since watching Austin Powers five years ago.
#1- I was waiting for that lady to unzip her skin and crawl out in some kind of reptillion-like alien form.
To #5, Adia (who commented on April 11):
I dunno if you’ll get to read this but if you do then look, don’t be bummed just ’cause someone says a movie you like is crap. Like what you like. It’s fine. It happens. I personally don’t even watch movies in the style of “Ocean’s Twelve”. It’s just not a genre that appeals to me (mind you I rarely watch any kind of movies anyway). But if you can see something good or interesting in it, great. Good for you. The film industry (and the tv industry, and the music industry) needs different people with different tastes — if everyone only liked what’s “cool”, 99% of the stuff that’s out there would never be released. It’s people like you who kind of go along with your own thing that help make it happen. And that’s great in its own way.
As for me, 99% of what I’m into is probably sh*t to most
other people since most of it’s relatively obscure martial arts flicks, Chinese and Japanese “art house” stuff and semi-obscure cartoons, musicals and the like, and it’s by no means all stuff that’s highly-acclaimed either (*cough* “2DLK” *cough*)…. :p
On a different note…
…”Om nom nom nom” is THE funniest thing EVER written in a review of anything. Ever.
Can anyone tell me why I can only view 2 seconds of each clip? I really want to see the fight scene.
Here’s another good article with clips of terrible movie fights:
http://www.voont.com/film_fights
It’s got walker texas ranger, american ninja, etc.
you forgot to put in that scene from spider man 3 with “staying alive.”
Why is Trolls 2 not included here? That is a disgrace.
Woh I didn’t know superman had brick vision!!
WORST ALL TIME SCENE..
Look for a movie called Snowbeast (1977). There is a scene where a bear (beast) is attacking a guy and you can see clearing on screen that the “paw” is attached to a pole and someone is lunging it at the actor.
Unfortunately for us all,this is no doubt just the tip of the ice-berg in terms of bad scenes from movies. Really funny, my favourites being the demented parakeets/peach-faced love birds/birds of some sort plus the rap from Teen Witch, so bad I don’t think I’ll be able to straighten my toes out. Oh yeah, the ‘gang of freaks’ from the Linda Blair film, I would get the crazy mama from Sybil to scare them away.
What no ‘Silent Night Deadly Night 2′?
Well, the whole movie is just one bad scene…
“GARBAGE DAY!”
