"Oh, the Pope warned me not to trust the CIA!"
Everyone expected it to be something of a follow-on to Die Hard - exciting adventure and a little bit snarky - which it most certainly was not. I think Hudson Hawk would have done much better rated if people expected it to be goofy strangeness like Airplane or Big Trouble in Little China.
And......David Caruso, playing himself. Athough this was prior to him wearing shades, posing dramatically, and whipping them off to emphasize every third line. (I call this "Carusitas". Not quite as good as "gravitas", but an attempt nonetheless.)
FWIW, cast list here
A friend and I walked out of “Pump Up The Volume”.
I have seen “Megaforce”, “Battlefield Earth”, and “Starship Troopers”. All were bad.
According to a reviewer at ‘Ain’t It Cool News’ who was shown an early version a couple of months ago, whoever made “Yogi” should be drawn, quartered, burnt at the stake, and the pieces shot for such an amazing affrontery to celluloid.
Saying that “it sucked” was supposedly a gross understatement.
Any movie that depicts surface-to-surface missles mounted on enduro motorcycles redeems itself!
“Every shot in this film looks like someone’s last known photograph” - Joel
I started watching “The Year One” I think it’s called with Jack Black the night on Encore. Another “must miss” feature!
Wikipedia:
>>On August 21, 1987, a film based on the cards was released; however, the film was both a critical and commercial disaster. It opened poorly in 374 theaters, taking in only $661,512, with its total gross being a modest $1,576,615, despite its low budget. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 0% critic rating and a 37% audience rating.
Starship Troopers would have been a typical, forgettable B-grade scifi movie if they had called it "Spaceship Troopers - absolutely unrelated to the similarly name Heinlein novel". My hatred for the movie was primarily how they twisted the novel into the exact opposite of what it originally said.
Now I'm having visions of somebody stringing old Charmin and Bounty commercials to make a love story between Mr.Wipple and Rosie.
Right, accustomed as they are to playing under balmy tropical skies....
Back on topic, I suggest the biggest Hollywood turkey not yet mentioned has to be "Baby Geniuses".
And a whole new generation will be jaded never having known what a real western is all about. Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn doesn’t cut it for me. He only acts like he’s chewing tobacco, ridin’ and shootin’... John Wayne did it.
Anything with Jack Black in it, is bound to suck. He really, really, wishes that he was John Belushi, but just can’t quite keep his mouth shut long enough to pull it off.
Sure, why not. We could also have movies based on tic-tac-toe and hangman. Let's not forget kid's games like Duck Duck Goose and tag.
Yogi bear, smarter than the average movie goer.

Worst movie ever...Zapped, Ishtar,2012 and the Day After Tomorrow come to mind.
Travolta to a great book and turned it into a HORRIBLE movie.
All we need are a few million dollars and some CGI animators...
