Okay, so maybe Kip--Napoleon Dynamite's brother--is right when he says that you can't know the worst movie of all time, but these are definitely in the shoot me before it ends category. To these I offer this humble suggestion: Tango & Cash.
I regret to acknowledge that I actually saw this in the theater. I think I actually blamed the theater subconciously, because I took a two year break from going to the theater afterward. No Lie.
Like the two aforementioned films by you, my most beloved of friends here at the high cheese, the trouble here is plot. Yet it is slightly different, because it is not that it did not have a plot, or that it exhausted it's plot, or that it was plain dirty...no, it had a plot that I can't believe anyone thought that the public could put together as a meaningful representation of an honest story. Two cops--one straightlaced, one wild (never saw that coming)--find themselves set up and end up on the wrong side of the prison bars (Easy enough so far). Then they are taken by the prisoners to a deep dark unpatrolled corner and electrocuted half to death (okay...). Then they escape via zip lining down a power line that is so close to the wall of the prison it might as well have a sign saying "this way out" posted on it. After this, they go find the bad guy's hide out, hijack their super gun tank-car-dunebuggy (the most destructive and indestructable vehicle on the planet), blow half of the world up, kill the bad guys, and get off scot-free (the newspapers actually apologized).
C'mon. Who keeps a car like that around and not locked up? Who has that big of an operation? Who thinks LAPD is ever scot-free capable? Even more, who okays that script and how has he been employed up to that point? Did he also give us Plan 9 from outer space? Jeez...
