I recognize literally none of these. Must be bottom feeder movies that never made it on any public radar

Oh, I do for Once upon a time in China if that's some sequel to the Jet Li movies

Left Behind was the Christian rapture one with Nic Cage in if I remember right. But that's the only one I recognised. If it wasn't for him, I'd have never heard it either.

From what I know, he's also not very 'Cagey' in it either, so it's not even funny bad. Just 'I had bills to pay' bad.

Hercules made a sequel that's coming out next year. Expect to hear boring excuses about poor performance about wokeness.

dreamnightmare t1_iycyxme wrote

There were already two “Left Behind” movies that were made in late 90s early 2000s.

Starring Kirk Cameron (of course) and Clarence Gilyard (Trevette from Walker Texas Ranger).

They were tv movie level mediocre.

The Nic Cage one was supposed to be the big Hollywood version…

It didn’t work out.

Ccaves0127 t1_iye4l0a wrote

Cage said he starred in the movie because one of his brothers is a pastor but really I think it's because he just had to be on a cockpit set for like 5 days and get paid $1 million, which I would also happily do.

It’s a shame because the books are pretty fun.

I actually enjoyed reading the books. I’m not exactly religious but they were an interesting and entertaining interpretation of Revelation, especially considering the “let us save your soul” vibe

I watched the trailer and Left Behind looks like The Leftovers meets 7th Heaven meets Snakes on a Plane. I'm intrigued.

Rage_Like_Nic_Cage t1_iyd2k8i wrote

it’s not. it’s not even so-bad-it’s-good, it’s a boring slog. Nic Cage is a pilot mid flight when the rapture happens and people just disappear from the plane, yet he is the most calm, level headed person imaginable.

AlistarDark t1_iydadma wrote

And don't forget, he doesnt go to heaven because he thought about cheating on his crazy wife. His daughter is atheist. A person on the plane was going to buy stocks with insider information. A reporter (aka the level headed hero guy) was a reporter, which was enough to prevent him from getting to heaven.. I forget the other ones, but they were all barely a sin.

same. My wife and I love to laugh at movies like God’s Not Dead, but Left Behind was just a boring slog despite is batshit insane premise.

holy_plaster_batman t1_iyegzqs wrote

If you also like terrible Christmas movies, our favorite is called All I Want is Christmas (also known as Switchmas)

It's about a Jewish kid Ira Finkelstein who really, really wants to be able to celebrate Christmas. It has everything a terrible Christmas movies needs: super low budget with a C-lister cameo, a big city person stuck in small town, a weird and even lower budget animated musical scene, plot holes so big you can drive a semi through, and Jewish stereotypes not seen in cinema since Triumph of the Will.

We were pretty stoned when we first watched it and laughed a lot, it's now been added to the annual holiday watch list.

Even in a thread of comments about Cage’s Left Behind terribleness, I still wasn’t expecting a Thief In The Night shoutout! It’s been 25+ years, but we watched those movies on a summer retreat one year and I still can’t forget how cheesy those were!

My wife calls them duct tape movies. When she was forced to watch them as a child, the VHS cassette was held together with duct tape

Ozlin t1_iyfdodp wrote

In college my English teacher made us read the book and then watch the movie. I fell asleep in class. It's indeed terrible and boring and not worth anyone's time. The book is also poorly written and I only kept it in case I ever need a book to burn. The movie deserves all of its 0%. If a movie could go into a negative percentage, this would be one of them.

DeathMetalViking666 t1_iyd1lpm wrote

Only going off second hand knowledge here (watched a youtuber review it once), but I wouldn't bother unless you're one to find Christian movies really funny.

It's your absolutely standard rapture movie, except there's a B plot with people getting raptured on a plane. Cage spends most of the movie in the cockpit not doing any of the things that makes Cage enjoyable to watch. He's clearly there just for a paycheck.

AnAquaticOwl t1_iyd9t0v wrote

The Leftovers is quite possibly the best tv show ever made. Left Behind is Revelations fan fiction

The books came out in the 90s and were first adapted to movies starring Kirk Cameron. Chad Michael Murray plays his character in the remake.

Oh wow I didn't know they remade it with Nic Cage and Chad Micheal Murray. That's quite a step up from the Kirk Cameron one.

Im having a hard time believing once upon a time in China 6 got 0%. Even if the story sucks it's Jet LI and Sammo Hung directing. At least the fight choreography should be decent. It has 6.1 on IMDB.

King-Of-Throwaways t1_iyf9e19 wrote

It's got 4 critic reviews - 2 positive and 2 negative. It apparently has 5000+ user ratings, but only 1 review, in which the reviewer praises it.

So I'm inclined to think the 0% audience score is a glitch, or the result of a bot mass-voting campaign or something.

Monster-Zero t1_iye82qe wrote

Well yeah, that's kind of the point isn't it? Bad movies that turn into cult movies, like Xtro, get some people praising it so naturally the RT audience score gets a boost. By contrast, Xtro II the Second Encounter is just awful and has no redeeming factors, so it never becomes a cult favorite, so it ends up here.

A bunch of them don't actually even have a Tomatometer rating according to the article, so some of those 0% values are not accurate either

andbruno t1_iydwrg2 wrote

I'm not saying it's the case here, but on RottonTomatoes there are different ratings from audience than from critics. A movie with a "30% Tomatometer rating" could still have a 0% audience rating.

Xtro could get remade nowadays and be pretty cool. It needed a decent budget and a decent director but it had a lot of potential deep down. It’s just one of those movies of it’s time like CHUD and Humanoids from the Deep that could benefit from the cheap and ubiquitous VFX of today

I admit, I'm intrigued by Mummy Maniac. My hope is that the serial killer's process for "turning girls into mummies" consists entirely of wrapping them in toilet paper and then leaving them alive and unharmed but deeply confused.

That was a campy and pretty bad book, though it did have the occasional good line. But I was amazed that they could actually make a high budget movie that was worse in every single way than the book.
