“Unbelievable Blunders: The Action Films That Exploded in Epic Fails!”
Oh, and let’s not forget Alicia Silverstone giddily stating “I’m Batgirl” with no formal introduction to the character.
Solarbabies
First off, if a director wants to rip off every post-apocalyptic movie out there, they might want to make it a bit better. Solarbabies, on the other hand, was too riddled with every end-of-the-world cliche and stereotypical ’80s dialogue that it’s really nothing more than horrible.
When Jami Gertz’s character Terra screams, “Get out, you creature of filth!” she might as well have been speaking of the film.
Backtrace
With a lame and boring plot, not even action film-veteran Sylvester Stalone could make Backtrace good. Film Inquiry writer Kevin L. Lee reviewed the movie, saying, “It is no exaggeration to say that Backtrace was the cinematic equivalent of a headache.”
“It’s too ridiculous and underwritten to be a full-fledged crime thriller and too self-serious to be an enjoyable B-movie.”
Virus
One of the worst action films to come out of 1999 is arguably Virus, a film about an alien entity bent on making the human race cyborg slaves. While the action scenes were alright, the plot was very predictable. Even lead actress Jamie Lee Curtis thinks it’s a bad movie!
According to Curtis, she even tried to get director John Bruno fired because she thought the movie was that bad!
