This made my day. "My first problem is with her face." No one would get away with that honesty today. These two legends are just amazing. Love these posts. Thank you!
Elizabeth Berkeley looks more like a schoolteacher than a stripper, and at that the sort of teacher who menaces the slackers in the classroom. That would have been a better direction for her career in extensions of Saved by the Bell. ... I know that Westerns were out of vogue at the time, but Stallone might have fared well in one. To be sure, they allow little room for special effects, and the bad guys usually end up badly.
Only found this channel a few days ago and my god, it’s awesome! Living in Australia we didn’t have Siskel and Ebert. We did have a similar pair of reviewers though who were also fantastic but these guys are brilliant! Always wanted to see their shows and this is a great channel to catch up. Must admit I miss these old days of cinema. Funny to see how some of these films we now enjoy yet the consensus was they were trash! Congratulations on the great channel and keep up the great work!
I wasted $25 at blockbuster on waterworld first for forgetting to return it then for not rewinding it. What made it worse I never watched it till many years later and then found out how much money I had wasted 😂
Here is my list of the worst movies of 1995 10). A Kid in King Arthur's Court - Not Fun Movie for Kids 9). National Lampoon's Senior Trip - Unfunny Comedy 8). The Tie That Binds - Unfunny Comedy 7). Mr. Payback - Bad Career Move Movie - Billy Warlock 6). Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers - Sequel that Ruined the Series 5). Theodore Rex - Big Star in a Bad Movie - Whoopi Goldberg 4). Top Dog - Bad Career Move Movie - Chuck Norris 3). Vampire in Brooklyn - Big Star in a bad movie - Eddie Murphy 2). Problem Child 3: Junior in Love - Sequel that Ruined the Series The Worst Movie of 1995 1). Jury Duty - Unfunny Comedy
One of my favorite things about Showgirls is how the main character has no arc. She learns nothing and doesn't change. Just a small part of the baffling script choices that makes it more enjoyable than your average bad movie.
Her backstory should have been the movie. She starts dabbling into drugs, gets into prostitution, and then things go sideways for her so she has to go to Vegas to leave her troubles behind her.
@@JeroenZM Don't forget the big hits, "Kiss from A Rose" from Seal and "Hold Me, Thrill Me" from U2, which a lot of non-U2 fans consider their best song. Also had some hidden gems like "Nobody Lives Without Love" by Eddi Reader.
"Tank Girl" was a comic book long before it became a movie. And fans of the comic *HATED* the movie. I can't blame them, it was completely unfaithful to the comic beyond the basic premise.
"Kids these days are too smart, even the kids with IQs of 50 are too smart for Pauly Shore". Unfortunately not. As someone who grew up in the 1990's we kept watching his awful movies. I cannot explain why.
"The kids these days are just too smart! Even the ones with IQs of 50 are too smart for Pauly Shore! What do you say?" *beat* *sotto voice* "Right, Roger." oh my god
The Mid-90's utterly stunk. So many lousy, over-produced, poorly acted, lame-brained, ego-driven movies. That being said, Mortal Kombat ain't too bad, since the cast is pretty good.
@@mjwbulich anybody who calls that movie a masterpiece should be registered as a sex offender, that piece of trash is child porn amped up for shock value
a) I see nothing here that would qualify as a "cult classic?" (perhaps you mean "so bad it's enjoyable") b) You appear to think that your perception as "later became a cult classic" somehow invalidates the initial disappointment.
I liked “Money Train,” but I agree with these guys on pretty much all the other movies here… admittedly, “Showgirls” was fun to watch for all of the hot sex scenes and bad acting that rates on the same level as Tommy Wiseau, haha!
5, I genuinely love Judge Dredd and Showgirls. Tank Girl and Waterworld are weird but fun. I own a copy of Money Train only because I worked on the film.
I’m surprised they didn’t mention Adam Sandler in the same breadth of that scale of comedic actors. At that point, he was probably sandwiched between Farley and Shore.
Scarlett Letter is definitely the worst on this list. I remember my mom wanted to see it because she liked Gray Oldman. So I saw sev7n instead. I definitely got the better deal. Atleast Showgirls is entertaining a must for fans of it's so bad it's good.
VR technology just isn't there yet. Even now, 28 years later, you still have to wear a big, clunky thing on your head, the visuals at best only reach the uncanny valley, and the "reality" still doesn't include touch (or taste or smell, but never mind those). I'm a little concerned that if VR ever gets really convincing, people will never come out of it.
@@reneedennis2011 There is also a show called Copycat Killers. It is about murders that were committed by people either copying what they saw on movies or were influenced by the movies.
I know there were a lot of copycat criminals inspired by Natural Born Killers. I only liked the scene with Rodney Dangerfield. The rest of the film was crap.
Now I remember why I was so burned out from cop or crime mob movies in the 90's. Too many! Ebert: "...hasn't done anything for them, for their imagination. They just passively absorbed explosions, special effects, and chases." Sounds like Fast & Furious and the whole DC/Marvel/Avatar existence of 21st century cinema. God, I wish this were around these past 20 years!!
I cracked up as his hate for Farley. I thought he had some funny skits and I laughed at SNL but most of his movies were forced and not very funny for me Gen X
18:25 I generally love Siskel & Ebert (esp. Roger) but we can really see Siskel's priggish moralistic streak here when he's talking about Jade. The man could really get on his high horse! He was the same about Slashers. His newspaper review of Friday the 13th is really savage (see also: Silent Night, Deadly Night)
I liked it too. Yeah, it was a little cheesy, but it was fun. The few people that actually read the comic didn't like that he took his helmet off, but it would be like getting made that Thor doesn't wear his helmet in the MCU films (save for one or two shots).
@@Paulafan5 "the few people"? Nah, 2000 AD was a very popular comics series when I was growing up in the 80s. More of a European fan base, but a huge following nonetheless. And it wasn't just Dredd taking his helmet off that bothered fans, the whole tone of the film is garbage. The worst culprit is that's its too silly and comedic, and then it's all over the dam place. Rob Schneider was the dumbest casting decision ever.
Yeah, Roger misremembered that one. Prince Albert is a brand of pipe tobacco that's packaged in cans. Pennywise told that joke in the miniseries of IT in 1991. But Gene was right, too: The King Oscar company makes all kinds of canned seafood.
Ebert seems to forget that he wrote ‘Beyond the Valley of the Dolls’, a movie that I loved for the same reasons I loved ‘Attack of the Killer Tomatoes’.
Siskel never gave Chris Farley a chance. He couldn't stop comparing him to Belushi and Candy, both of whom had roots in Chicago. So Farley wasn't instantly as good as two of the funniest guys ever, therefore he's terrible?? That's not fair.
Showgirls is that special kind of bad which warrants alcohol and friends. You can have a really good night if you just laugh at its silliness. The others are just plain bad.
Lol I still like that Power Rangers movie. It came out when I was like 10 so it was dear to my childhood. I understand why they wouldn't like it but I actually think it holds up. It wasn't completely devoid of lessons for kids either, there was the whole thing with the kids disobeying their parents by following Ivan Ooze and then they learn to respect their parents
Wow, Gene & Roger really got snippy with each other in this ep! Hysterical when they can't even agree how bad Pauly Shore and Chris Farley are! And ironically, they were both wrong. Comedy was never either one's strong suit.
What are you taking about. They both loved Wayne's World, Dumb And Dumber, Chevy Chase especially "Funny Farm" and the first Vacation movie, Beavis And Butthead Do America, Airoplane, Monty Python And The Holy Grail, Monty Python's Life Of Brian, etc etc.
you can't just dismantle someone's car because they parked in a Handicapped Spot then acted like a douche about it. I mean, you can't dismantle a car, period, but let's go along with Mr. Payback having whatever it was - three times the strength I think it said on the screen. (which still isn't strong enough to peel off a car's bumper as if it were duct-taped to the chassis, but whatever.) it's the idea that it's a just punishment - joyously doing thousands and thousands of dollars of damage to someone's classic car because they were being a jerk is bizarre. not to mention criminal. Mr. Payback would end up in a state prison. what a strange movie.
Since they hate on bad films so much as a waste of time, why then do they spend so much time on them in their show? Why not just review films that they mostly liked? Obviously discussing the bad films, many of them big-budget bombs, was good for the ratings.
I have to admit, like an egg-sucking dog, that Showgirls, Judge Dredd, Waterworld, Vampire in Brooklyn and The Jerky Boys Movie are guilty pleasures of mine. Go ahead and hit me, but I make no apologies for the things I like.
I went and looked at their list of the best of 1995 to contrast and compare. Outside of a few classics like Toy Story, Casino, and Apollo 13, most are long forgotten. Leaving Los Vegas was a critical darling that won Oscars yet no one ever talks about it. Meanwhile Showgirls is a cult classic that is still shown In packed theaters. Funny how these things work.

Almost all the best picture nominees from this year's Oscars are completely forgotten by now. People still remember Casino, Toy Story, and Apollo 13... Oh, here are some other memorable films from 1995: Jumanji, Goldeneye, Se7en, Get Shorty, Heat...
Honestly, as famous as these guys were, they were so out of touch on so many things. Films that ended up as cult classics were being bashed by these guys initially. Movies were never just ok, they were either amazing or horrid pieces of trash. Not really sure why so many people took these guys seriously all this time.
@@Nathan-gd7xq S&E were always overrated. During their time they still bashed legitimately good films, saying things about being "mean-spirited" and whatnot. Just lame reasons.
Well I mean that was the appeal behind S&E. You might agree with them both about one movie, agree with only one of them about another, or just completely disagree with both of them. S&E were a form of entertainment for movie lovers who wanted to hear what these two had to say and then compare thoughts and opinions with their own. Whether they ended up being spot on or way off, it's all part of the show's concept and it was a great idea. People just need to get a grip and quit bashing these two for becoming legends in something they loved and died doing.
Critics are supposed to be opinionated, so you hate people with strong opinions? You have to be pretty open-minded to go see every major film release, and that's what they did for a living.
These dudes are so articulate, bombastic with rapid fire commentary that ya gotta luv this stuff!
12:40 Eddie Murphy by this point was an out of touch big star who surrounded himself with his family and yes-men. So his movies got a lot worse.
Oddly enough Murpy did precisely what Ebert suggested when he played the supporting role in Bowfinger, but then dove right back in to bad comedy.
This made my day. "My first problem is with her face." No one would get away with that honesty today. These two legends are just amazing. Love these posts. Thank you!
Yes they would, cause he was talking about the make-up not her actual face.
Elizabeth Berkeley looks more like a schoolteacher than a stripper, and at that the sort of teacher who menaces the slackers in the classroom. That would have been a better direction for her career in extensions of Saved by the Bell.
... I know that Westerns were out of vogue at the time, but Stallone might have fared well in one. To be sure, they allow little room for special effects, and the bad guys usually end up badly.

This episode is on a couple of the other Siskel and Ebert channels, but I always appreciate the rendering and sound quality of yours.
Which matters! 😊
RIP Jason David Frank, the White Ranger.
I want to know how did Cutthroat Island not make the worst of 1995?
"..she just doesn't look good. I'm talking about her face." hahaha cold. Her face is sexy IMO.
He was talking about the makeup, which was terrible in that film. Maybe it was the lighting too.
All I saw her as was Jesse Spano, proto-SJW
He was talking about the make-up. They all looked like fucking clowns.

4:35 OMG Between this and his comments on Kirstie Alley in the "It Takes Two" episode, Siskel seems kind of catty.

Main character has no arc, just like a porno apparently.
Forgot who said it but they called this the era of the soundtrack outselling/outliving the movie. Tank Girl is a good example.
Escape From L.A. has an amazing soundtrack...trash movie, great soundtrack.
Batman Forever had Nick Cave, The Offspring and Massive Attack
@@JeroenZM Don't forget the big hits, "Kiss from A Rose" from Seal and "Hold Me, Thrill Me" from U2, which a lot of non-U2 fans consider their best song. Also had some hidden gems like "Nobody Lives Without Love" by Eddi Reader.

oh my god
Jade was not great, but far from the worst, I still consider William Friedkin one of the greats.
I think it was because that Caruso had left NYPD Blue so people couldn't wait to tear apart anything he did
May Friedkin rest in peace.
I liked it as much as to live and die in LA, blue chips, the French connection, rules of engagement and the hunted.
The final 30 seconds - back when the Oscars were important - seems like a different world now.
Using Goldsmith's SUPERGIRL soundtrack for MMPR. The only good thing about that clip.
Candyman 2, Showgirls, KIDS, Cutthroat Island, Mortal Combat, Hackers, Bushwacked… 1995 was like THE year of the bad movie.
Some of these I will defend as popcorn classics to this day. Back when bad movies were great.
The Mid-90's utterly stunk. So many lousy, over-produced, poorly acted, lame-brained, ego-driven movies. That being said, Mortal Kombat ain't too bad, since the cast is pretty good.
Kids is a masterpiece. Maybe the most realistic depiction of teenagers in the history of cinema.

Dredd 2012 was MADNESS I LOVED IT.........
@Stephen Seagull Dredd (2012) was almost perfect! ..agree about Robocop though
One thing I've noticed in this "worst of" episode is that most of these movies have gone on to become cult classics.
Yeah, I like most of these movies haha
I only see WATERWORLD, SHOWGIRLS. Which ones you mean?
a) I see nothing here that would qualify as a "cult classic?"
(perhaps you mean "so bad it's enjoyable")
b) You appear to think that your perception as "later became a cult classic" somehow invalidates the initial disappointment.

Almost all the best picture nominees from this year's Oscars are completely forgotten by now. People still remember Casino, Toy Story, and Apollo 13...
Oh, here are some other memorable films from 1995: Jumanji, Goldeneye, Se7en, Get Shorty, Heat...
don't insult mmpr the movie, it was awesome fun.
Tommy Boy was a good movie.. Jury Duty was horrible..
Yeah tank girl is ridiculous and unwatchable.
At least it has some weird action and fun scenery. And Ice T in a kangaroo suit. I'd watch that or Dredd over pretentious crap like Scarlet letter.
Showgirls, one of my daughter’s favorites 😂
Jade was good in the theater. So was water world.
look jerky!
Chris Farley is twice the funny as Jim Carrey.
Oh come on, Jade isn't bad.
Honestly, as famous as these guys were, they were so out of touch on so many things. Films that ended up as cult classics were being bashed by these guys initially. Movies were never just ok, they were either amazing or horrid pieces of trash. Not really sure why so many people took these guys seriously all this time.
Well duh. Films that end up as "cult classics" are ones that find an audience after initially receiving poor reviews and/or poor box office.
@@Nathan-gd7xq S&E were always overrated. During their time they still bashed legitimately good films, saying things about being "mean-spirited" and whatnot. Just lame reasons.
@@metalgrinch or "a real downer".
Well I mean that was the appeal behind S&E. You might agree with them both about one movie, agree with only one of them about another, or just completely disagree with both of them. S&E were a form of entertainment for movie lovers who wanted to hear what these two had to say and then compare thoughts and opinions with their own. Whether they ended up being spot on or way off, it's all part of the show's concept and it was a great idea. People just need to get a grip and quit bashing these two for becoming legends in something they loved and died doing.
Good lord I hate these guys! They are so one sided and closed minded.
They are critics, but at least it is their honest opinions and not filled with politics or being shills.
Critics are supposed to be opinionated, so you hate people with strong opinions? You have to be pretty open-minded to go see every major film release, and that's what they did for a living.
