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

I have several times seen airplane contrails in the sky in movies set in the old West.

The 2012 movie where the car is running through the streets with the buildings falling and the street caving in. It is beyond fake looking.

MST3000 has a boatload of them. “The Crawling Eye” comes to mind.

What Were the WORST Special Effects Ever Seen in a Movie?

It's still ongoing, the longest horror movie in American history, and they never have gotten the special effect right...

[Popman]

Not a special effect but at the end of the King Kong remake....Kong falls off the Empire State building, craters the ground and still retains his form....no blood , no guts, no broken bones poking out....

In real life he would look like a junebug on a windshield at 100 miles an hour ....

Many times in Swamp People, I have seen them take aim with one gun and then they shoot with a totally different gun. Obviously splice two different incidents together.

Also once they were stranded until they could fix the boat motor. No one mentioned why they didn’t just ride in the boat with the camera.

I've been making low-budget short films for years and yes, most of our effects are cheaply done. I consider it part of the charm!

Here are some shots from our latest, "Evel Knievel on Skull Island: The Rescue of Ann Darrow":

Here is a shot of the "vampire cut in half" scene from CHARLIE CHAN IN TRANSYLVANIA:

Here is a shot from "The Mummy In the Maze":

And finally, some cheesy effects from our movie "Attack of the 50 Foot Ghoul":

IMHO, it’s pretty hard to beat an iguana with prosthetic makeup...

Although not a movie, and not really special effects, I remember watching the old Dark Shadows re-runs-—specifically a scene in which Barnabas Collins was drinking a glass of “blood”. Problem was, the blood was thick and orangey and left pulp on the side of the glass-—it was tomato juice, LOL.

In another episode, a character was running through the woods....he brushed against a tree and the tree rocked back and forth.

The bird thing in “The Giant Claw.” It was “as big as a battleship” but otherwise didn’t inspire much terror.

[InvisibleChurch]

Mesa no deserve to be speshuh effect!

[upchuck]

“Mysteries in History,” hosted by Peter Graves in the opening sequence of Men in Black II is pretty hilarious. Loaded with “special effects.”

[Revolting cat!]

The worst ever special effect belongs to Victor, although he didn't live to see it, having lost his head!

[chuckee]

No one can top the Japanese of the fifties for bad special effects:The zippered monster genre - Godzilla, Rodan, etc

[Blogatron]

So Fake!

I always liked the old cowboy movies where a six shot revolver could fire fifteen times without a reload.
