The lightweight Stonehenge rock special effect is my nominee for incredibly lame movie special effect but perhaps you would like to list yours.

The Stonehenge in “This Is Spinal Tap” was also bogus.

For me, the 1997 re-release of Star Wars had some pretty nasty (and ruinous) CGI. I consider it the worst effects ever, since it ruined a perfectly good movie.

This isn’t a special effect but in the remake of Pearl Harbor made about ten years ago you could see the Arizona memorial in the background of some scenes. Some of the harbor shots ad modern destroyers and frigates in them.

Tron, the original, was the worst special effects. the entire movie.

Still watched it a couple of times.

Japanese Godzilla movies special effects sucked, but I love to watch them all the same.

PJ, the worst special effects are always those flashing lights on dashboards and pseudo-instrument panels in all the Star Trek Wars movies, since the Melies Bros. until today, including all your Kubrickian Lucasian “masterpieces”.

Surely the collection of plastic rocks that appeared in numerous Star Trek episodes bears mention. That the same rocks were found on so many planets was just hilarious.

The best special effects EVER in a movie was in that cinematic masterpiece “Leprechaun II”!!! (one of the greatest movies of all time - if you are in the advanced levels of intoxication)

A movie made in the ‘60s by Shepperton Studios was about a Hercules-type super-hero. In one scene, he jumped across a gorge in a cavern. It was about 25 feet across, and they spliced two shots together. He actually dipped down in the middle and then magically bounced up in mid air to finish the jump. Everyone in the theater laughed.
