Watch the full scene posted by another Doper above. I don’t remember any of them dying, but I also don’t remember them not dying.
The other movie from the same director was:
Tokyo Gore Police
It’s not high art, but it isn’t anything like the horrific movie he made later. I just can’t emphasize how bad Vampire Girl is.
Eraserhead. Yes, I know that it’s a horror film, I know that it’s supposed to be disturbing and make you feel uncomfortable. And by that metric, it succeeds brilliantly.
But free hookers and blow couldn’t make me watch it again.
Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure.
I’m adding this one to my list. OMG, I hated that movie.
Funny, I watched Barbarella last night and kept thinking, “This is like Zardoz (equally nonsensical and bizarre), but with a different star in a bikini”.
Bad (bad bad, for our friend 
) Movie.
Lollipop?
At 16, I walked out of The Sound of Music. I told the gal I went with I don’t like musicals. About 30 minutes in I had enough. We parked behind the theater and had a make out session. When I dropped her off at her home we found out her younger sister was at the same movie. Fortunately she didn’t see us there.
Haven’t seen a musical movie since.
This thread provides clear evidence that we’re not all the same. Sure, there are plenty of “the usual suspects” listed but, personally I like “Howard the Duck” for the reasons listed above (even saw it in the theatre) and LOVE The Two Jakes - easily one of my favourite movies. The only movie I’ve ever walked out of a theatre on was Cheech & Chong’s “The Corsican Brothers”. Oh my, but that stunk and was clearly not going to improve.
Kicking and Screaming.
Gods, I want that bit of my life back. I hate dumbass slapstick comedies, so I never would have chosen it myself, but my workgroup had an offsite teambuilding thing and they chose this movie. I can’t count the times I was tempted to get up and leave, and the only reason I didn’t was because I didn’t want to make a scene in front of my group.
Hollywood sure milked THAT story to death with 8 direct to video sequels, a remake in 2009 and another remake in 2020.
OK, it looked like a lollipop to me.
“Zero star” conveys a sense there was absolutely nothing good in a movie. Most bad, but otherwise professionally-made films usually have some merit, even if it’s very small. That said, the following movies come to mind as being so unpleasantly awful they obliterated consideration of any merits they might have had. Technically, these would be “negative-star movies”:
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) – One of only two films I’ve ever seen to make me feel nauseous. I specifically refer to the Washington, D.C. sightseeing sequence which wallows in BS-myths of America, its founders and “principles.” The climax is also risible, so utterly contrary to human nature (even in 1939) that it shreds any sense of credibility the story might have had up to that point. I know it’s supposed to be a political fantasy, but the wishful thinking, combined with the veneer of reality when it comes to showing how the U.S. gov’t operates, have the feel of (badly done) propaganda. There is no counting how many viewers had their perceptions and expectations of the U.S., its gov’t and people warped by this film.
Subway Riders (1981) – I vaguely recall an early scene where Susan Tyrrell shoots up under her tongue, but I have no memory of anything beyond that. Nonetheless, I have since regarded this as one of the 50 worst movies I’ve ever seen and I strongly suspect the director has made others that were even worse.
Dog Days (2001) - Unpleasant characters degrade themselves (and the viewer) in Austria. I would put this very close to a rating of negative infinity.
Upstream Color (2013) – Pointless, meandering and ultimately execrable, a major disappointment – and imo, waste of pixels - after the writer/director’s promising 2004 debut film Primer (a connection I didn’t even know about until after viewing UC).
Any and all films directed by Jacques Rivette. Most films written and/or directed by Alain Robbe-Grillet.
Somebody already mentioned Battlefield: Earth, I’ll add Batman and Robin.
I think satires are better when they take their source material seriously. Or, put another way: do you get the impression that the filmmakers could have made a “straight” version just as easily, if not more so, than the satire?
Dr. Strangelove succeeds here; it highlights the absurdity of MAD and the logic of the Doomsday Device because it understands them so well. Airplane! was virtually a shot-for-shot remake of Zero Hour! and it’s clear they could have made a “serious” remake had they wanted to.
Starship Troopers fails miserably in this respect. Verhoeven famously did not even read more than a few chapters of the book. And the movie was something totally different originally anyway. It’s a bad satire because it’s not actually a satire of anything aside from figments of Verhoeven’s imagination. Or generic fascism, I guess.
It’s not like there wasn’t a good satire in the book, even including an Are we the baddies? “twist” (plenty of other sci-fi explores exactly that topic, some of it an intentional response to Starship Troopers itself). But that’s not the movie that got made.
Gawd, yes, what a pile of dreck. I HATED it.
I also very, very strongly disliked Four Weddings and a Funeral – unfunny comedy, no heart except for cringy manipulation. Just crap.
I know! And I’ve like other Jarmusch films, but this one was just so boring.
The only movie I’ve ever walked out of was The Pest, a John Leguizamo vehicle.
But the movie I hate the most is Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise yelling “show me the money”). Are you a sports movie? Are you a rom com? Because you fail at both.
I walked out of My Stepmother is an Alien to go play some video games in the lobby.
I walked out of Rollerball – the only movie I’ve walked out of – it was boring.
I agree with this and I haven’t even seen the movie, I read a critic exalting it and detailing the principal plot points when I was about 12, I swore right then and there that I would never see that movie nor any other praised by that kind of critic.
I remain baffled by people who like to feel disturbed and nauseated by art, but to each their own I guess…
Never seen, never will. Star Wars, and sequels for their utter disregard for physics, inane storyline and insane fandom.
In 1983, my friend wanted to see Return of the Jedi, but I refused and insisted we see Blue Thunder instead. My reasoning being, at least everything in Blue Thunder was at least theoretically possible. I believe my friend went to see Return of the Jedi with someone else, but we never discussed it.
