10 Movies That Are Terrible From Start to Finish

10 'The Garbage Pail Kids Movie' (1987)

Dodger (Mackenzie Astin) is a kid who works for the eccentric antique shop owner Captain Manzini (Anthony Newley), who warns Dodger never to open a mysterious garbage can. The can is eventually opened when a gang of bullies led by Juice (Ron MacLachlan) accosts Dodger, releasing the Garbage Pail Kids, a group of mutant children who revel in being gross and destructive. Dodger befriends the kids and, after he learns they have a talent for sewing clothes, uses them to help him impress Tangerine (Katie Barberi), one of his bullies who sells clothes for a living, whom he has a crush on.

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is based on the trading cards of the same name that parodied the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls. Shockingly, the premise of kids who do gross things didn't translate well into live action, with the animatronics used to create the Garbage Pail Kids only making things worse. The story isn't much better than the visuals, with the kid's horrible actions ruining the message about inner beauty, and the presence of the State Home for the Ugly, which rounds up and kills ugly people on the regular.

9 'War of the Worlds (2025)

Will Radford (Ice Cube) is a DHS agent who operates a surveillance program that can spy on anyone in the world, but has an estranged relationship with his children. One day, while trying to track down a hacker called Disruptor, the Earth is invaded by aliens piloting giant war machines. Between trying to help the world's armies coordinate against the aliens, Will also uses the surveillance program to keep his kids safe, and learns some shocking revelations about both his family and the government.

H. G. Wells would rage if he could see Amazon's bastardization of his story. War of the Worlds replaces the original's genre-defining themes that have influenced countless science fiction stories with wall-to-wall product placements and a confusing message about how reliant on data humanity is. Most egregiously, the film is told through a collection of surveillance footage and online video calls accessed by Will, meaning that we don't get a good look at the conflict with the aliens and instead are forced to endure Ice Cube's terrible performance without respite.

8 'Foodfight!' (2012)

Unbeknownst to the humans who shop at Marketopolis, the various company mascots come to life when nobody is around and live in their own society. However, things turn for the worse when a new generic product called Brand X is brought into the store, its mascot, Lady X (Eva Longoria), begins a hostile takeover of the mascot world. Their only hope is Dex Dogtective (Charlie Sheen), a ceral mascot and operator of the Copabanana nightclub.

Foodfight! lingered in production hell for nearly a decade, and when you see the film, you'll wish it had stayed there. The CGI is repulsive, the plot feels like an excuse to shove as much product placement in your face as humanly possible, and the characters are the sort to make you wish you were rendered blind and deaf. Shockingly, the film somehow managed to cost at least $45 million, which makes things even worse, because all that money went to waste on such an abysmal product.

7 'Leonard Part 6' (1987)

Leonard Parker (Bill Cosby) is a retired CIA agent who has been on many fantastic adventures that nobody knows about. He is pulled out of retirement to go after Medusa Johnson (Gloria Foster), the leader of a group of evil vegetarians who are training animals to kill people. However, Leonard's biggest concern is getting back with his ex-wife Allison (Pat Colbért), who left him after she caught him with another woman.

Leonard Part 6 is so bad that Cosby begged audiences at the time not to listen. The film is a confusing mess of different styles forced together like some mad scientist's experiment: it's a spy thriller but also a domestic comedy, it's got lots of slapstick jokes for kids yet also has plenty of adult jokes and visuals, to name a few. It's also painfully unfunny, and the effects look cheap, leaving you with nothing but pain.

6 'The Master of Disguise' (2002)

Unbeknownst to Pistachio Disguisey (Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Dane Morris, and Dana Carvey), his family has a long history as masters of disguise, which his father, Fabbriz (James Brolin), used to stop villains as a secret agent. However, one of his nemesis, Devlin Bowman (Brent Spiner), kidnaps Pistachio's mother (Edie McClurg) to force Fabbriz to steal artifacts for his smuggling operation. Pistachio's grandfather (Harold Gould) decides to train him to be a Master of Disguise and brings on a woman named Jennifer Baker (Jennifer Esposito) to stop Bowman.

Watching The Master of Disguise is akin to listening to someone tell jokes that they think are funny while nobody else in the room is laughing. It repeats the same jokes over and over without any variation, including comments about Jennifer having a small butt and Delvin farting. This even extends to the end credits, which are full of outtakes and deleted scenes, like that aspiring comedian won't let you leave until he's gone through his entire routine.

5 'Son of the Mask' (2005)

Aspiring animator Tim Avery (Jamie Kennedy) puts on a mask recovered by his dog Otis (Bear the Dog, Bill Farmer, and Richard Steven Horvitz) and transforms into a green-faced living cartoon character who has the power to warp reality around himself. He conceives his son Alvey (Ryan and Liam Falconer) before taking off the mask, causing Alvey to be born with its powers. Meanwhile, a jealous Otis dons the mask to try and kill Alvey, while the All-Father of the Norse gods, Odin (Bob Hoskins), tasks the God of Mischief, Loki (Alan Cummings), with recovering the mask.

Son of the Mask at times feels like something straight out of a horror film. It tries to mimic the squash-and-stretch gags perfected by Tex Avery, but whereas the image of a cartoon cat's eyes popping out of its head is hilarious, seeing the same thing happen to a baby via horrible CGI is nightmare inducing. If any praise can be given, it comes from the Nose gods, thanks in large part to Hoskins and Cummings' performances.

4 'North' (1994)

North (Elijah Wood) is a child prodigy who feels unappreciated by his parents. Thus, he decides to divorce them, and is given until the end of the summer to find new parents or be sent to an orphanage. His Odysse takes him around the world and involves numerous run-ins with a mysterious man first seen in a bunny suit (Bruce Willis).

Beloved movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert both picked North as their worst movie of 1994, and Ebert ended his written review with his famous "I hated this movie," rant. You don't have to look too hard to find the source of such vitriol: the film is a collection of ill-conceived choices that can't even be classified as jokes, based around stereotypes that hardly qualify as characters. But what might be the film's worst sin is that, in between the stereotypes, it's a boring, meandering story that fails to justify its existence.

3 'Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2' (2004)

After ingesting a formula that grants him super strength and halts the aging process, Kahuna (Leo, Gerry, and Myles Fitzgerald/David A. Kaye) becomes a baby superhero, traveling the world and rescuing kids from his nemesis, Bill Biscane (Jon Voight). His latest evil plan involves opening a television network and broadcasting a hypnotic video. To stop him, Kahuna recruits four babies and uses a machine to unlock their superpowers.

Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 is cinematic antimatter, because after watching it, you'll feel as if something has been destroyed and can never be reclaimed. Nothing about this film works: the plot is paper thin and has no target audience, the action sequences are ridiculous because they involve babies defeating grown adults, and except for Biscane—thanks only to Voight trying his best with what he's given—the characters are non-existent. Don't waste a precious second of your life on this movie and instead use the time to do literally anyting else.

2 'Titanic: The Legend Goes On' (2000)

Angelica (Francesca Guadagno/Lisa Russo) is a young woman forced to live as a servant to her wicked stepmother and stepsisters, who dreams of finding her real mother. They board the HMS Titanic for its maiden voyage, where Angelica falls in love with a wealthy young man named William (Francesco Pezzulli/Mark Thompson-Ashworth). Other passengers include a jewel thief and her two incompetent henchmen, a detective who is trying to catch them, and a menagerie of talking animals that includes Mexican mice and a rapping dog.

Titanic: The Legend Goes On asks a bold question: what would happen if you combined the sinking of the Titanic with characters from Disney and Don Bluth movies? The result is as awful as it sounds, with the tragedy of the situation being downplayed and buried beneath unfunny slapstick, annoying characters, and a plot that is clearly just trying to cash in on popular trends at the time. Worst of all is the animation, which is choppy, full of inconsistencies, and constantly re-uses footage.

1 'The Legend of the Titanic' (1999)

Believe it or not, there are two animated Titanic films to come from Italy. This one is told by Top Connors (Stefano Crescentini/Sean Patrick Lovett), an elderly mouse who served on the Titanic in his youth, where he befriended a Brazilian mouse named Ronny (Maria Teresa Cella/Anna Mazzotti) and Elizabeth (Emanuela Rossi/Jane Alexander), a young woman whose aristocratic family are insisting that she marry a whaler tycoon named Everard Maltravers (Luca Ward/Gregory Snegoff). Unfortunately, Maltravers is only interested in gaining worldwide whaling rights from Elizabeth's father, and is working with a talking shark gang to sink the Titanic.

The Legend of the Titanic might have better animation than Titanic: The Legend Goes On, but its story is far, far worse. Not only is it full of confusing rules like magic moonbeams that allow people to talk to dolphins or inconsistent character actions, but the writers decided that nobody would die in their version of the story, and the real moral is not a cautionary tale about man's hubris, but a call to action to save the whales. This alone is enough to make the film one of the worst ever made, because it dances on the graves of every person who died that night, but especially those who selflessly gave their lives to save others.
