Get ready to cringe as we take a stroll down memory lane through the cinematic mishaps of ’92. We’re talking about 16 films that, frankly, should have never hit the big screen. From laughable dialogues to embarrassing acting, these movies are a testament to the less glamorous side of ’90s cinema.
Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot
The plot is far-fetched, centering around a tough cop and his overbearing, meddling mom, which leads to forced and unrealistic humor. The film also suffers from weak writing, cheesy dialogue, and an overall lack of depth in character development. The comedic elements fall flat, and the action sequences are underwhelming. You might want to shoot the TV in frustration.
Cool World
”Cool World” has a mix of live-action and animation that comes off as jarring and uneven. The story is confusing and fails to engage viewers. Moreover, the movie tries to be edgy but ends up feeling more like a messy, chaotic cartoon. Despite big names such as Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger in the film, it doesn’t deliver. “If you haven’t seen this film, you’re lucky!” one reviewer wrote.
Folks!
A movie that relies heavily on tired, outdated slapstick humor. There is nothing unique or original in the plot which revolves around family dynamics and financial troubles. Despite a talented cast, the film fails to deliver genuine laughs or a compelling story, making it a forgettable and uninspiring comedy that falls short of expectations.
Shining Through
A woman who has Irish and Jewish ancestry goes undercover in Nazi Germany. An idea for a brilliant thriller, which “Shining Through” isn’t. Melanie Griffith’s portrayal of a spy lacks credibility, and the film’s plot is riddled with implausible scenarios. The romantic subplot feels forced and lacks chemistry. Despite its potential, the film ends up as a forgettable and disjointed mess.
Captain Ron
The storyline for “Captain Ron” is thin, following a dysfunctional family’s misadventures on a sailboat, but it lacks depth and substance. The characters, including Captain Ron, are stereotypes with no depth. While it may have a few chuckle-worthy moments, the overall comedy feels forced.”Painfully predictable and high on the corn scale” summarises an online review about this film.
Newsies
While “Newsies” has a loyal fan base, some critics consider it a bad movie due to its overly idealized portrayal of the Newsboys’ Strike of 1899. The film’s attempts at turning a serious historical event into a musical come off as cheesy, and the characters often feel like caricatures. The choreography and music are catchy, but they can’t fully mask the film’s lackluster storytelling. One critic claims “The only awards this movie can claim are ones of mediocrity and shame.”
Christopher Columbus: The Discovery
This film’s portrayal of historical events is riddled with inaccuracies, taking significant liberties with the truth. The performances are lackluster, with even renowned actors struggling to salvage the weak script. The film’s pacing is uneven, making it feel disjointed. Additionally, it lacks the epic scale and depth needed to do justice to the historical figure of Columbus. Send this one out to sea…
Kuffs
While Christian Slater’s charisma shines through, the film’s plot is disjointed and feels like a series of random events. The humor often falls flat, relying on juvenile gags. The characters lack depth, making it hard to invest in their stories. Overall, “Kuffs” is a forgettable action-comedy that could have been much better.
Radio Flyer
A film that takes a dark and heavy subject matter – child abuse – and tries to blend it with a whimsical, almost magical, narrative. This tonal mismatch makes it uncomfortable to watch. The film’s attempt to turn a serious issue into a fantasy adventure doesn’t work well. An online reviewer stated that this flick is “one of the worst melodramatic pieces of crap ever foisted upon an unsuspecting public.” Take heed to that!
Toys
Even though “Toys” is visually imaginative, the plot is all over the place, leaving audiences bewildered. The attempts at satire often fall flat, making the film feel preachy rather than funny. Robin Williams’ comedic talents are underutilized, and the film’s message about war toys is heavy-handed. The tone shifts unpredictably from light-hearted to dark, making it a confusing watch. Put these “Toys” away.
The Babe
This film is “almost a total fabrication of the man [Babe Ruth’s] life” one reviewer bemoans. John Goodman does his best, but the film’s script fails to capture the complexity of Ruth’s character. It glosses over his darker aspects and reduces his story to a string of clichés and one-dimensional moments. The pacing is uneven, and the overall execution feels lackluster. For fans of the Great Bambino, it’s a letdown that doesn’t do justice to his larger-than-life legacy on and off the field.
Death Becomes Her
While it boasts a star-studded cast, this dark comedy’s humor often comes off as forced and mean-spirited. The plot, revolving around immortality and rivalry, feels disjointed and lacks depth. Despite impressive visual effects, the film’s message about the pursuit of eternal youth is shallow. It’s a bizarre mix of horror and comedy that never quite finds its footing.
Freejack
“Freejack” fails to make the most of its intriguing concept of time-traveling and body-snatching. Despite a decent cast, including Emilio Estevez and Mick Jagger, the film’s storyline is confusing and poorly executed. The action sequences lack excitement, and the futuristic world-building feels uninspired. Send this trash back to the past.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Before the hit show was a less than stellar Buffy movie. The plot feels campy and disjointed, failing to balance horror and comedy effectively. The film’s attempt at satire often falls flat. While it has its moments, it’s ultimately a missed opportunity to do justice to the rich vampire-slaying world. Though some compare Kristy Swanson’s Buffy to that of Sarah Michelle Gellar, it’s not really fair as Kristy was the first to fill the slayer’s shoes.
Pet Sematary Two
A sequel that fails to capture the eerie atmosphere of Stephen King’s work. The plot comes off as a rehashed version of the first film, lacking originality and depth. The characters make questionable decisions, and the horror elements lean more toward cheesy than chilling. Despite some gruesome moments, it lacks the psychological terror of the original. “Remember the tag for the original (‘Sometimes dead is better.’?) That should have been for ‘II’, too. Not as a tagline but as a production note,” suggests one reviewer.
Munchie
“Munchie” is a cheesy and low-budget attempt at a family-friendly comedy. A boy, who is bullied and every other stereotypical scenario you can think of, stumbles across a gremlin that he befriends. The film’s humor relies on juvenile gags and slapstick that often fall flat. There is a kid’s party at which a keg of beer is present! Munchie comes off as more annoying than endearing and the special effects are laughably bad even for its time. Don’t waste your time consuming this rot!
