Mission Impossible II

The first 5-10 minutes were good. If they had ended the movie right there, it would have been just fine.

Mrs WBill still jokes about that one. Fight scene at the end had Cruise and the bad guy duking it out with vehicles, before degenerating to guns, then knives, then finally rocks. (maybe it was bricks, I don't really remember)

Anyway, from them on, any interminable fight scene will provoke her comment "Where's My Rock?"

Well, maybe you had to be there. Or maybe it was better you just missed it.

And I can't believe that no one has mentioned any of the later "Alien" Movies (I'm thinking Resurrection, or AvP) yet. Or "Highlander II", which they must have had a gun to Sean Connery's wife's head to make him appear in, it was so horrifically awful.

Sort of like the "fan-edit" of Star Trek V titled "In Thy Image" (name swiped from the original script of the 1st Trek movie, as originally written for the aborted Star Trek: Phase 2 series.

They dumped the worst part (half) of the original, carved the remaining pieces into four acts plus a brief epilogue (like the original series episodes) and added 1960s graphics and soundtrack. Result: a decent hour of sci-fi, rescued from the dreck that was dragging it down.
