Super girl 1984
You should have added Maria Pitillo from Godzilla 98, or even Matthew Broderick from that, Inspector Gadget, and Deck the Halls.
I don’t care what anyone says. I love _Xanadu!_ As an 80s Child, I used to roller skate in my basement while listening and singing to the Soundtrack.
_Xanadu_ introduced me to Olivia Newton John. And, no. I refuse to call something a “guilty pleasure” just to appear embarrassed. I either like it or I don’t!
Dolph Lundgren in Masters of the Universe. James Bond and Rocky IV made him a rising star, but his career after that became a direct to video nightmare for the next 20 years.
A movie can't ruin the career of someone who has not had a long and successful career-Gene Kelly's and Geena Davis' careers could be ruined, but Kelly Clarkson and the guy with her? Never heard of them. Never heard of many of these non-entities. If you're going to do a top twenty list, make sure there are twenty people or things _really_ worth talking about.
And get rid of the beta male who narrated, and bring Rebecca back.
If anyone watches "Rollerball" from 1974, you'll understand why the remake failed. And "I Know Who Killed Me" didn't kill Lindsey Lohan's career. She did that all by herself.
Didnt you like the original?
Not the 1975 cult hit we won't, but the 2002 remake does.
@@footy2rockThe original is amazing.
The original 'Rollerball' is a classic.
@@stevenmaginnis1965the 2000 roller ball is a “classic” in another way though
Catwoman. Halle Berry is one of the few actors who accepted a Razzie in person for that roll
She has way more balls than most of the guys in H'wood.
Definitely Catwoman. I searched first to see if anyone else had listed it.
I actually like the charisma and chemistry between Halle Berry and Benjamin Bratt
*role
Didn't ruin her career tho. She never stopped working
I think the drugs and alcohol messed up Lohan's career but sure we'll blame it on a movie.
Agreed.....
This is a list that contains a former NBA player and an American Idol winner.
Pretty hard to take any of it seriously.
@@HearszAM Two NBA players, actually.
Geena Davis redeemed herself with “A long kiss goodnight”. What an awesome film. but Hollywood couldn’t get over her “cutthroat island” film 🥴
I always loved cutthroat island myself :(
@@mikecoulson3575 Yeah, Cutthroat island was great. This is a stupid video.
oh the irony! I loved Cutthroat island when i was a child and started watching her other movies
I am a long time Geena fan and even have "Cutthroat" on DVD.
@@mikecoulson3575Me too.
I actually really liked John Carter I was impressed by the acting and the story was pretty cool
I watched it a few weekends ago and still think it’s a great movie.
Same. It is massively underrated. I would have liked to see more of the books adapted as well.
Because US audience is stupid.
The biggest reason I think it bombed was the idiotic title. It's like they only named it John Carter so they could change the title in the closing credits to John Carter of Mars (which they did). Unless people were Edgar Rice Burroughs fans, reading 100-year-old science fiction, just using his name alone was asking a lot. His Barsoon books never got anywhere near the press that his Tarzan books did. All that being said, as a huge fan of the books (and generally disliking movies based on books I've read), it was a pretty good movie, combining some parts of both the first and second book (A Princess of Mars and The Gods of Mars). Visually, I think they were more true to the books than anyone could ever expect, which was amazing. My biggest critique of the movie is that John Carter himself is portrayed as some reluctant, bitter hero who has to be forced into action, when in fact he's more of the Superman "truth, justice and the American way" kind of hero, who falls in love with Dejah Thoris at first sight and fights across the planet to save her.
Its big failing was that it shouldn't have been associated with Burroughs. That would have allowed a different character name that people didn't associate with a doctor on "ER" and wouldn't have had fans of Burroughs coming to the theater armeed with rotten tomatoes. It wasn't a bad movie but it didn't have much to do with anything Burroughs wrote. I suspect it would have gone over better if they'd gone with the Asylum script for "A Princess of Mars" and given it Disney casting and production values.
It didn't help that they just put the name out like everybody was supposed to know it. The promotion should have used the history. Before Luke Skywalker, before Buck Rogers, before Flash Gordon, there was . . .
You know what Tank Girl is one of my guilty pleasures I didn’t know it ruined Lori Petty’s career.
Oh dude, check it out 👆 you won
These bots are getting outta hand again
@@stephengrigg5988 yeah I know it’s fake they’re trying to like sell me something
Yeah I quite enjoyed it. :D
I tried to watch Tank Girl once, thinking it might be one of those bizarre gems like Buckaroo Banzai...it wasn't.
Tank Girl is an awesome movie!!!!!! My favorite actor in the movie is Malcolm McDowell, though.
13:59
Clooney looking down to find his mark is hilarious. They really did not care at all
Xanadu was the bomb. Saw it in theaters 3x, as did all my friends. Gene Kelly was almost 70 when he made that. Was already heading into retirement…it was obvious he did it for one last big paycheck but he still pulled off his magic.
I still love that movie!! RIP Oliva
Gene still had his skills; just look at him dancing with Olivia and how happy they look. He likely did this for the paycheck as I think even his family said so
I love XANADU! As a matter of fact, recently, I created a digital copy for my home media server.
My sister’s loved that movie! It even grew on me , I say it’s a low key classic
Facts. Gene Kelly was already a legend so how can his career ruined
I feel bad for Taylor Kitsch. He's a really great actor, just got cast in a few big flops and messed up his career. Anyone who's scene him in Friday Night Lights, Waco, and True Detective season 2 knows how good he is
John Carter wasn't a bad movie.
Don't forget xmen origins wolverine
@Zach Twilightwindwaker I agree I actually enjoyed it. It just sucks it lost so much money so it's only remembered as this huge failure
When a movie does poorly actors are a convenient scapegoat it's why bad directors keep finding work but good actors don't
What's a big flip ?
Madonna should not have an acting career in the 1st place.
No shit… most celebrities who aren’t actors need to stay the hell out of trying to be an actor! They need to just stick with what they’re best known for doing… singers just need to stick to being a singer and sport stars need to stick with playing their sport they’re known for playing
Nor a singing one.
@@DrittAdrAtta what??? I’m sure most music fans would disagree with you. She’s one of the biggest music stars of all time
@@nsasupporter7557 Madonna fans - obviously. Music fans - not so sure ;). But she has done pretty well for someone who can barely sing.
@@DrittAdrAtta as I said she’s one of the biggest icons ever. She’s even more iconic than Cher… and I actually like Cher better personally
The film wasn't the reason Alicia Silverstone didn't act for awhile. It was because people were fat shaming her to the point she thought about quitting acting. A lot of people are such jerks
Exactly!
I don't know much about her but I feel really bad for her. Also, anyone else just see her commercial?
@@AJ-xc4qeyeah I have
When was she ever fat? I thought she was hot between this and Clueless.
@@christhornycroft3686 she was never fat. People just wanna be jerks.
Justice for Showgirls. It’s a camp classic imo
"More like chairman of the BORED" - Norm McDonald
Norm destroyed that movie on Conan!
That almost happened to George Clooney after Batman & Robin. A couple of good movies and performances saved the guy
Most of these actors didnt even have a career before they bombed
And Chris O'Donnell
Rodman, Shaq are examples where sports & acting need to stay separate.
Same for majority influencers/reality stars??
🎁🎁👆👆👆..
👏👏👏👏.
Yes exactly! Not just sport stars, but any celebrity who’s not an actor also… that clearly includes singers also. Madonna is a TERRIBLE actress. All of these other celebrities who are not known for being actors need to stay out of movies and stop trying to be actors
Except The Rock. He's actually pretty good lol
For some reason stand up comedians seem to do pretty well when they get acting gigs. They do way better than other celebrities that aren't actors.
Lori Petty was incredible in Tank Girl. Really unfortunate how she suffered because of it.
Anybody who was a fan of the comic hated her in it! nothing like Tank Girl!
and the movie was crap too!
I took it with a camp attitude and sort-of liked it.
"The Love Guru" wasn't the only thing that killed his career, it just twisted the knife. Five years earlier he did "The Cat in the Hat", Well, it would more accurate to say he HAD to it. Myers had pulled out of any movie after money had been sunk into it. The studio threatened him with $20 million. A deal was worked out where he would star in this new movie.
Now, just limited small cameos... he was in Bohemian Rhapsody for one.
He also appeared in the 2018 neo-noir thriller film "Terminal", starring Margot Robbie.
@@andrewbloom7637 ..and Inglorious Basterds
Pretty much after the Shrek movies, his career is just there in Oblivion.
Myers wife died. He walked away to be a dad. Way too little of that. And he needed someone he could trust to tell him, dude, no.
@@billdurham8477 Wasn't that Rick Moranis?
Chris Kattan know anything he's done since Corky Romano?...Me neither. 🤷🏿♂️
"John Carter" is the only film on this list which was actually a very good film. I have it and watch it every so often. It's just a pity that it bombed.
I saw it knowing it was a massive bomb. Was surprised it wasn’t actually bad. Nothing terribly good about it but I watched the whole thing so kept me generally entertained.
@@jekw23 Ditto. I remember seeing it for the first time on DVD, knowing it had bombed at the box office and sat in a chair shaking my head and thinking "What was everyone thinking? This is great!"
I saw some reviews for it as well and the criticisms were ridiculous. One well-known critic: "When I go to a sci-fi movie, I expect to see lasers. Where were the lasers?"
@@thudthud5423 yeah…it was golden age sci-fi so what people expect now has moved on but I love the 30s-50s fiction so had a good time.
Definitely doesn’t deserve the hate it got.
Lori Petty would've made an AWESOME Harley Quinn.
Yeah, 20 years ago... 😏
I think some of these actors were not cast again because they were diva's on the set. Pairing the diva aspect with the high pay and the box office bomb, left studios not wanting to take the risk again.
Diva'ses
I love how much today Elizabeth Berkeley is able to look back with humor on Showgirls. In the Saved by the Bell Reboot, they make tongue in cheek references to the movie's plot. She says she hasn't flirted since her time in Vegas, it was a chaotic time shortly after college and involved pushing a woman down the stairs. Then later during a makeover scene they recreate some of the costumes and she even speaks like Nomi from the movie. Then when talking to Slater about it later, she says she was trying to be sexy but just looked insane, and Slater says that she was just following the crazy directions she was being given.
What’s crazy is it slowly became a cult classic. I take it in as more of a dark comedy. But it definitely affected her career.
I'm not gonna lie. Some of these people had no business in the acting profession.
I remember From Justin To Kelly bombed so hard that it was released on home video 3 weeks after theatrical release.
I think Kelly Clarkson said that she did that movie because it was a "contractual obligation" for being an American Idol finalist.
I didn't even know the movvie existed until watching this video. Who's great idea was to put two singers just fresh from a singing competition into a major motion picture, thats just a plan for disaster.
You forgot about Seargant Peppers Lonel Hearts club band. That movie finished off Robert Stigwood as a producer. That man literally had the midas touch right up to that point.
Yeah, Peter Frampton took a long time to recover from that celluloid train wreck. At least, The Bee Gees made a (gradual) comeback.
And the Mojo crew clearly didn't understand the background behind Freddy Got Fingered. Tom Green DIDN'T want to do it. Wanted NO part of it. So he decided to go Scorched Earth and make a movie he KNEW was going to flop.
Mission accomplished.
Gene Kelly was 68 and had only made 2 films in the entire 70's, his career was already over.
And it really doesn't matter if the movie tanked or not, Kelly was one of the best of his times and nothing can take that away :)
RIP Raquel Welch 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I liked both Xanadu and John Carter. John Carter might have done better if Disney had promoted it better.
Xanadu wasn't nearly as bad as entertainment history claims it is.
Totally agreed with John Carter. Here in Argentina the movie had no promotion. I saw it by chance and loved it.
Well, Disney acquired Star Wars and kinda left John Carter to fail.
8:55 Very well done on the editing of her talking about identical twins being separated at birth, and it immediately went to a shot of The Parent Trap.... about 2 identical twins separated at birth 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Maybe it’s because I first saw it as a kid and it has some nostalgia going on, but if you can see Batman and Robin as a campy, over the top fun hero movie and not as The Godfather you can enjoy the ride
I loved that movie when I was a kid.. I think I was like 4, but it still gets a pass from me too
I enjoyed it! :)
Me too, saw it as a kid and still like it today
Not even a little bit
You’re absolutely right, Batman and Robin I enjoy as bad as it was.
Alicia Silverstone made a comeback in the Netflix original series The Baby-Sitters Club. Also, Elizabeth Barkley reprised her her role in the Saved By The Bell reboot on Peacock.
i actually enjoyed John Carter, thought it was funny and an interesting plot honestly :/
Thought it was me alone...i actually enjoyed it for what it was
@@raviragoonanan2898 yeah like, it was a fun movie to see
@@smileysatanson3404 But because it failed at box office the franchise is horribly wasted. WHYYYYYYYY DISNEY???????????????? Why can't you try and make it continue????
@@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722 ''hey hey easy son, its just a movie''
~cop from spongebob
I like Blast From The Past I think that's a fantastic movie actually it does the story well with good actors
I thought it was okay. For me it missed the mark a little bit. It wasn't a bad movie
feel bad for Taylor Kitsch, he's such a good actor love him on the terminal list with Chris Pratt and i hope he gets back as gambit
Yeah, he was hot as Gambit!
@@AnimeBleachBabe ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? HE RUINED GAMBIT FOR ME! he never nailed the deep southern accent!
Master of Disguise is a "so bad it's good" film, my now-husband and I laughed the whole way through 🤣
Master of Disguise may have been a bomb, but "Turtley enough for the turtle club" is immortal
Me and my bf quote this everyday
That line is the only thing I remember about that movie!!!!
You guys forgot to mention that Lori Petty also played whale trainer/veterinarian Rae Lindley in the 1993 blockbuster family film "Free Willy". 🐬
Oh nice! Fun fact, that movie came out on the day I was born July 16th, 1993! I loved that movie when I was a kid but sadly haven't actually seen it since my childhood. I would love to see it again one of these days though especially with the streaming services. :)
Wasn’t she in point break as well?
@@benconway9010 yes she was. And A League of their Own, another iconic movie. Madonna also was great in that too.
This list makes no sense. Once I saw Carrottop on here, it lost any credibility left.
@@benconway9010 yes . !!!
Great movie!!!
I loved John Carter. It would have been nice if there had been some sequels, but Disney dropped the ball on the marketing, which is why the movie did poorly at the box office.
With Lohan it wasn't just her lack of talent and crappy film choices that put an end to her career, she was an insurable brat that shat on everyone she worked with. Yeah actors can be difficult to work with but a combination of lack of talent and being difficult made her not worth the bother.
Yeah and also that she became a drug addict and alcoholic
Yeah hopefully she's grown up since then though. I don't hear bad stuff about her anymore thankfully. :)
Same could be said about Michael Myers’s
She doesn’t have a lack of talent tho
I thoroughly enjoyed Batman & Robin. It paid homage to Adam West's TV Show adaptation.
Actually it reminded me of why I never got into comic books.
@@christhornycroft3686 honestly, its got more in common with 60s batman than comic books, but comics are very all over the place as far as audience. you got the gritty adult stuff, the stuff aimed at kids and and the genral audience stuff.
Bat nipples. That's all I'll say.
The highlight of the movie for me back then was Alicia Silverstone and while I was hoping for The Crush or The Babysitter, I got this.
@Oren Black Well, it was directed by a gay man; so that explains some of the stylistic choices that were made.
Doesn’t excuse YOUR lame 2004-era attempt at homophobia, though.
And seriously, if you’re gonna post your bigotry online, learn to type and proofread first.
Tank Girl was kind of weird, but you have to admit it stayed true to the style and humor of the comics. I think Lori Petty was great and looking back, I just don't think there were roles for her energy and style.
But, can you imagine how awesome she would have done as a Harley Quinn in the 90's? Her energy in Tank Girl was totally Harley Quinn.
Lori Petty would have been an amazing Harley Quinn.
Loved Tank Girl. And Taylor Kitsch is fantastic in everything I’ve watched with him in it. Love him
I know Carrot Top from Dennis the menace 2 he’s funny in that movie
"Tank Girl" was just the right kind of weird and wacky that suited someone like Lori Petti.
He was cool in the covenant
His character in Friday night lights always had a bottle of beer in his hand lol
I'll be surprised if Jared Leto gets back on his feet after MORBIUS
Jared Jared Lehh toe back on his feet.
*Every other WatchMojo video:* _"X ruined Y."_

Others, Sean Connery in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Tom Smothers in Get to Know Your Rabbit, Klinton Spilsbury in The Legend of the Lone Ranger, Helen Slater in Supergirl
For what it's worth, "Supergirl" launched Helen's career. Plus, she appeared in the 2015 TV series of the same title, this time as Supergirl's adoptive mother, Eliza Danvers, and even made three guest appearances as Lara-El on the TV series "Smallville".
1. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen did not end Connery's career by causing him to be no longer in demand for roles; *he* retired on his own, despite still being in great demand for roles, partly because The League was such a bad movie -- and partly because he was unhappy that he had gotten too old to be cast in romantic leading man roles, and figured he had enough money that he didn't need to suffer through the unimaginable humiliation of no longer being widely seen as the World's Sexiest Man.
2. In order for a movie to ruin one's career, one has to have had a career to ruin. Get to Know Your Rabbit was Tommy's first film after TV. Perhaps you're arguing that the movie killed his TV career, but obviously the brothers' inability to get any work on TV after their show had everything to do with the public outcry against their controversial, liberal topics, jokes, and guests -- which led to the show's cancellation -- and nothing to do with a movie that Tommy starred in 3 years later.
3. As another commenter has pointed out, Supergirl was literally the movie that launched Helen Slater's film career, which continues to this day, 38 years later. Sure; she's not the greatest actress and hasn't had the biggest roles, but she's worked consistently in film and TV over the past 40 years without having to adopt a bad Jack Nicholson impression like her little brother did. Hell, she even plays Supergirl's adoptive mother in the current TV series.
@@andrewbloom7637 And that's what you call a career?
The character Pat wouldn’t fly today anyway.
Pat would be transgender nowadays!!! LOL
Alicia's leading lady status may have been finished off with Batman but the setup was already in place with Excess Baggage. Truth be told though it would've been hard anyway to follow-up such an iconic role in Clueless. Alicia and Cher became intertwined. It's the same predicament that Molly Ringwald had a decade earlier after Pretty in Pink, also Liza Minnelli after Cabaret in the 70s (not to equate those three actresses mind you.)
Keep in mind that Excess Baggage came out AFTER Batman & Robin. She was widely publicized both for being Batgirl, and for being the youngest producer in Hollywood for Excess Baggage. The twin flops derailed her career.
Freddy Got Fingered is by far the most confusing Nightmare on Elm Street movie in the series
Omg, I just did a spit take at work 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@niles8102 sorry bout that
In many of your examples the film didn’t do the damage but the actor’s reputation for being a pain in the ass to work with actually came back to haunt them. Others, left for family or health reasons. Elizabeth Berkeley didn’t deserve to be blamed for Showgirls. It had a director and a writer.
@@troybirch i think you meant to put that in the comments section instead of as a reply lol
Gene Kelly still was remembered at the Oscars after his death in 1996 in a wonderful tribute so he bounced back.
I don’t blame actors if a movie bombs, it might’ve just been the writing or directing
I agree.
I've always felt that way
Directing, maybe... But if you're blaming the writing for a film bombing then can the actors involved really be excused from any blame?
They're meant to read the script before agreeing to the role, right?
Therefore, you'd think that actors like Clooney, Geena Davis and Halle Berry can distinguish between a good script and one that is utter trash.
If the paycheck is good, then that's a more believable excuse.
No Halle Berry from Catwoman? The movie made her not getting any lead role for years.
She was still Storm in more X-men movies (one was two years after Catwoman), was a lead the year after as a voice role with Ewan McGregor in Robots and starred in two movies 3 years after Catwoman. However, the reason she wasn't starring at the cinema in 2005 (the year after Catwoman) was because she exec. produced Lackawana Blues and starred in The Eyes Were Watching God, both TV movies. So no, it didn't impact her career much.
she was in the live movie of the flintstones the movie was okay until berry showed up playing Sharon stone which should have went to the real Sharon stone she got the role because she was black not because of her bad acting and Eliabeth Taylor didn't help it either.
@@johnverley388 Sorry, Acadamy award winner Halle Berry is a bad actor? You got it mixed up, she got the role because she's a great actor and despite her being black. Sharon Stone turned the role down due to her working on the Specialist at the time, btw.
@@kevinsmarts9953 I apologize about not knowing that Sharon stone had to turn it down for another film. but no apology for Halle berry when i went to see the movie i got bad vibes about her i got the gut feeling that she was handed the role because she was black. and I'm not a racist i only speak the truth.
@@johnverley388 You may have thought that but its not true in the least, Nicole Kidman was second choice but Halle blew everyone away in her screen test. Its fair to say that before the screen test the producors and casting director would have known that Halle is black and Kidman is not.
Nothing was stated about bad direction or screen play? Shaquille movie helped this guy being one of the leading celebrities in advertisment. He has done a great deal for our country too. Shaquille Mom reminded him constantly don't let everything get to your head. He has been places where people couldnt afford to buy something. Shaquille will pay for this if it's OK. Shaquille Mom and Father, you did a great job raising your son. His programs have lifted my spirit.
Such a strange rant
@@stephengrigg5988 you should comment
@@stephengrigg5988 😂❤️
XANADU was a failure because it was shelved for 2 years after filming. If it was released ON TIME it, would be a different story.
Xanadu is amazing! and the Gene kelly dancing bit is the best thing in it.
And ELO's music.
Sean Connery , The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
That movie was so bad I almost threw up at the waste of resources and talent. As for Sir Connery, I'm sure he could have found roles, but he'd seen it all at that point.
@@markkumanninen6524 I mean the movie was such a disgrace,Sir Sean Connery,quit acting after that film.
My dad read pretty much all the John Carter books when he was younger we sat down one night to watch the movie he wasn't expecting much by the end of it he was smiling and he said it wasn't half-bad which is kind of high praise for him he usually always find something to complain about in a movie even I was expecting to hate it especially based off the reviews wasn't bad so I can understand why some people would hate it I'm just hoping possibly Taylor can come back maybe as Gambit he wasnt bad in origins
I did the same with the books and agree with your Dad that while it didn't always do the books justice it wasn't 1/2 bad for a rewrite. I read every Edgar Rice Burroughs book I could get my hands on through the late 60's into the 70's and the John Carter books weren't even the best known.
I read all the books when I was younger too, the movie was I thought well done really like it. Yes not super faithful, the problem I think is because all the names and different races ect it is hard for people to follow that didn't read the books.
being an avid reader myself, if a reader can praise an adaptation, it is indeed a good adaptation.
Dejah Thoris was overdressed, in my opinion.
Any decent actor shouldn't be impacted negatively by one bad film I mean who hasn't starred in at least 1 bad movie at least once in their live not too many surely
I agree
I didn't even know Dennis Rodman was even an actor. And Xanadu didn't tarnish Gene Kelley's reputation AT ALL. His appearance in that movie is forgotten, Singing In The Rain is what's remembered.
I am honestly surprised that they didn’t mention Sean Connery’s retirement after The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
A guilty pleasure but Sean HATED it.
🎁🎁👆👆👆..
I love that movie
@@elizabetho9423 🎁🎁👆👆👆....
Yes, that movie was a disaster
In Sean Connery’s defense he decided to do The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen because he didn't want to miss out again after turning down roles in The Matrix and The Lord of Rings (in which he would have played Gandalf) which turned into huge blockbuster hits.
When I was a kid my brothers and I all went to see Xanadu and I told my oldest brother that I thought it was the best movie ever! And he laughed and laughed and laughed! 😂😂😂
It's always interesting when a Mojo video links me to an unlisted video at the end. Like Koopa said: why is this unlisted?
Yeah, it’s weird
🎁🎁👆👆👆....
I'm not ashamed to admit that I loved "Showgirls" in spite of its bad reviews.
It is awful.
But I love it anyway.
@@TheUltrahypnotoad at least you know it’s bad. I don’t mind people saying they love bad movies as long as they know they’re bad.
It bothers me whenever someone likes a bad but think it’s good, for some reason
Showgirls is so bad it's great. I love to watch it for a good laugh.
I like the movie.. It's not a masterpiece or anything, but it's not bad as everyone makes it out to be..
It was played like everday in the early 2000's on cable. I used to watch it as a kid in those times.
All the cast from Terminator Dark Fate could be in this list
Battlefield Earth, Elektra, Catwoman with Halle Berry, the Fantastic Four (all of them), Batman v Superman, Daredevil, Speed 2: Cruise Control... just to name a few.
@@clit_niblr0375 How horrible
I’m pretty sure McKenna Grace is still getting roles and Gabriel Luna was literally Tommy in the Last Of Us show.
@@clit_niblr0375 Batman vs. Superman: Martha!
A lot of these were movies with good casts taken down by mediocre scripts, mediocre direction, or studio interference. John Carter, for example, could have done well if it were approached as a Sci-Fi B movie based on a well-known pulp novel, but Disney wanted to make it into an overblown blockbuster. Bad idea.
Batman and Robin had a great cast, but a terrible script, and a director who changed the tone so far from the Tim Burton movies that it was ridiculous, and it took the Batman franchise many years to recover and come back with Batman Begins.
And Showgirls, well it just didn't have any hope to begin with. Bad script, bad direction, bad acting. It should have gotten every Razzie that year.
🎁🎁👆👆👆..
It wasn't Joel Schumacher's fault that "Batman & Robin" tanked. Warner Bros. told him to make a 2-hour toy commercial, and he did.
I used to love The Master of Disguise when I was a kid....I haven't seen it in years
No nipples on the batgirl suit is the biggest crime in cinema history.
Lori Petty was also in the movies Point Break, Free Willy and In The Army Now and in one episode of Alien Nation.
Kiss mass Boat Trip was hilarious
Tank Girl is a classic and Lori had great roles on Star Trek and Superman: The Animated Series soon after
Thank you! I could not remember where I had seen her. She fell in love with Tuvok in Voyager.
Most of these "actors" who ruined their "careers" weren't even actors but athletes, comedians, or failures to launch.
Xanadu - which I love no matter what - didn't leave any mark in Gene Kelly's legacy. He was already untouchable when he made the movie.
Surprising you missed the Lone Ranger killing Armie Hammer's career. Although his legal issues had a lot to do with it too.
Armand Hammer is still quite popular with their baking soda brand
Was the Lone Ranger that bad?
@@lauren9004 It bombed at the box office and lost a lot of money.
What? How? He’s in Call Me by Your Name, Man from Uncle and Death on the Nile after that. All big titles.
8:45 - It didn't take a horrible movie to ruin Lindsay Lohan. Her drug problems, insufferable public personae, and run-ins with the law did that. 🙄
Amen to that
Facts..
3:39 I'm truly grateful _not_ to have known there was a Pat movie for the last 30 years.
Chris O'Donnell didn't get a major role again until NCIS: Los Angeles :P
I happen to love Xanadu and saw it twice in theaters. The film didn't tank Gene Kelly's career...don't be ridiculous. He hadn't been active in the industry for years. His stock remained fine. It's Michael Beck's career that immediately tanked after getting good notices before for the cult film Warriors. Olivia's film career apparently needed one more flop and that was Two of a Kind.
Agreed !!!
Yep, Gene Kelly was a Hollywood icon and that will never change. I wasn't even aware he'd done a movie as late as Xanadu.
I liked Xanadu and thought it was a fun movie. I know it didn't make a lot at the box office but I still really enjoyed it, including the great music and ONJ.
What I learned from this was that 2002 was just a HORRIBLE year for movies.
I still love Xanadu.
ONJ + ELO = WIN!
Yeah but the music was the only good thing about it.
Master of Disguise was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Now that I'm older idk why the hell I loved watching it so much 😂😂😂
I still love it lol.
You should’ve given honorable mention to Beatty’s other misfire “Ishtar” with Dustin Hoffman….
Yeah, he bounced back, but it didn’t exactly help him either….
I think the problem with all these movies is that they looked good on paper, but crappy scripts and bad editing ruined everything.
The 1978 'Sgt. Pepper' movie didn't just cripple Peter Frampton as a movie start, it crippled his musical career. It took him decades to recover from that fiasco.
If you're going to go back as far as Xanadu, there was an equally big career-killer back then - Faye Dunaway in _Mommie Dearest_ . Nobody ever took her seriously after that scenery-chewing performance.
It was her role in Supergirl that ruined her career.
Gina Davis was in Beetle Juice starring Michael Keaton, and the t.v, show Fox Fire too.
Good for you
Fletch as well.
No she wasn't....Geena Davis was.
Me and my dad loved the 1970 rollerball and we went and seen the remake on a Friday night on its release weekend I believe there was 4 people total in the whole theater lol
4 too many
The best part of the remake was Paul Heyman as the announcer - which was essentially Paul Heyman being Paul Heyman.
It’s too bad you didn’t mention Weinstein’s negative impact on Geena Davis’ career.
Weinstein isn’t a movie
... Weinstein produced Cutthroat Island?
@Grim528 It will be one day soon
It’s now a movie. “She Said”
@@rfgate I’m sure you know that doesn’t count in this context right
Ouch! That sucks!
A little harsh for Xanadu. Sure, it bombed when first released, however, it's gone on to have a HUGE cult following. Gene's performance incredible, especially given his advancing years. Soundtrack is still beloved to this day. Yep, special effects were cheesy, but hey it was 1980...bright colors were the thing. CGI was in its infancy with Star Wars pretty much bringing it to screens just 3 years earlier. Everyone in the industry were basically "learning as they went".
Also, it was a musical. Even though Grease had done well, that didn't mean musicals were going to do well. Grease 2 didn't do well either.
They thought ONJ was going to draw people because she had been in Grease, but they were really watching Travolta. This was around the time of Welcome Back, Kotter, so he was a huge draw, no matter what the movie was.
Hasn’t Madonna spent nearly four decades trying to prove she’s a good actress?
Madonna is a woman not a man
@@mattalan6618Oopsie.
She failed.
Let's not forget that "Chairman of the Board" was single-handedly brought down by Norm Macdonald when he was on Conan O'Brien alongside Courtney Thorne Smith. One of the greatest late-night talk show appearances of all time, hahaha.
I still love tank girl, was it weird, yes ,funny? absolutely
The master of disguise I remember hearing about that movie when I was a kid
If they were to try to put Dana Garvey or Chris Klein on NBA teams, everyone would object because they don't have basketball ability, but putting Shaquille O'Neal and Dennis Rodman in movies is accepted.
no dana Carvey and Chris Klein aren't black
@@johnverley388 You seem to have missed my point.
@@brianarbenz1329 have you heard of any white NBA basketball players that get any publicity. no! name one and I'm not racist!
My comment had no racial dimension whatsoever. You have tried to flip the discussion, for your purposes.
Though race has nothing to do with this, I will name one - Pete Maravich, who got TV commercial endorsements and a huge salary that made him the highest paid NBA player, before he had played a single regular season game!
I mention him not out of spite, but just to correct the record.
I can't hold back my laughing when I see son of the mask, 🙈 those CGI 😂 😂
Within the first minute I love the Love Guru and Master of Disguise and John Carter of Mars 😂
I feel so sorry for the actors’ careers even today’s Hollywood just making em lost their persona depending upcoming movies of the 21st century. I hope many of them will get their chances to make themselves big for independent films.
Lori Petty's co-star in Tank Girl was Naomi Watts.

I feel like anything in the 90s should be forgiven, even though it doesn't have the same "New-Coke" excuse the 80s had.
