There was a ‘shop job of that picture that had Bill and Hillary’s heads interchanged. Haven’t seen it for years, and I foolishly didn’t save a copy. It doesn’t seem to exist any more on the Internets.

Virtually anything shown on SyFy Channel. They average a buck-sixty on SFX, I’m convinced.

Superman IV - The Quest for Peace. Worst FX of all time, possibly worst movie of all time.

"Superman"

The whole mechanics of Superman flying is ridiculous. What does he do? He jumps up, stretches his arms out, and supposedly this allows him to fly. Yes, yes, I realize we're talking about a comic book hero, but the idea that Superman simply jumps in the air, spreads his arms out, and flies strikes me as ludicrous.

"Rodan"

I first saw Rodan in a small movie theater when I was seven years old back in the fifties. I had nightmares for two years after seeing the flick. I watched it again thirty years later on tv and couldn't stop laughing at the cheesy special effects.

"Plan 9"

Special awards should have been given to the actors for controlling their laughter through the making of the movie. I know my career as an actor would have been shot trying to keep a straight face in that hilarious flick.

Superman really jumps rather than fly. His original planet was much larger so he is more dense than humans—hence he is not hurt by bullets and he seems strong. Think astronauts bouncing around on the moon.

I don’t know why I know this...but that’s the story on the man of steel.

“the idea that Superman simply jumps in the air, spreads his arms out, and flies strikes me as ludicrous.”

Every girl’s fave superman bit - when he crushes the 3 smaller diamonds to make one huge diamond for Lois.

I think that part was just a dream though.

I would like to nominate for worst special effects the one from the anti-nuclear agit-prop TV Movie “The Day After”.

At one point one of our protagonists is on a highway, just slightly up ahead he sees the mushroom cloud of a nuclear explosion, but of course he’s fine, just a little singed.

Of course the worst part of that movie was that the channel that showed it had some panel discussion afterward. Maybe Carl Sagan was on it? Anyway it was several prominent people, all of whom were supposedly not idiots, taking this moronic TV movie seriously.

It was the same thing with that more recent eco-apocalypse movie. What was that called? The Day After Tomorrow? (What’s with the day after meme?) It was just a silly disaster movie and the lefties and libtards in the media all treated it like it was a serious documentary.

You see, this is why one calls them libtards. It’s like they are all intellectually about 8 years old.

“...they used the old Andy Griffith, Mayberry RFD set.”

When Andy Griffith was using it it was the old ‘Adventures of Superman’ sat.

I like the period accurate cars in Jackie Chan's WWII dramedy Fantasy Mission Force.
