While "Power Rangers" may be a beloved piece of childhood for many millennials, most can agree that its acting and special effects have never been of the highest quality. 1997's "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie" definitely confirms this. In the flick, the six heroes unite once again to fight an evil alien, all the while spouting inane dialogue and performing badly choreographed fighting sequences.

Veteran action actor Sylvester Stalone carries this movie about an amnesic thief who is forced to relive his past life after being injected with an experiential drug. Generally, and generously, described as boring, one critic (Kevin Lee) from "Film Inquiry" went farther, calling it "the cinematic equivalent of a headache" thanks to its terrible script, clunky acting, and terrible camera work.

"Taxi" paired Queen Latifah with Jimmy Fallon as a feisty cabdriver and an inept cop, respectively, on a mission to take down Brazilian bank robbers in New York City. The movie, which was a remake of a French flick that has spawned several sequels, performed decently at the box office despite its generally negative reviews.

Glen Kenny, a film critic for RogerEbert.com, slammed "River Runs Red," saying "it takes a vitally serious subject and makes such a relentlessly dumb hash of it." This review perfectly summed up what most audiences thought of the movie about a Black judge who takes vengeance into his own hands after two corrupt cops wrongly kill his only son. Corruption in law enforcement, murder at the hands of authorities, and the racism endured by so many people of color are not things to be dealt with blithely, but "River Runs Red" makes light of all of them.

In a not particularly original story, a group of orphaned teens living in post-apocalyptic Earth set out to find an orb that will bring back the rain and save the Earth from certain destruction in "Solarbabies." Derivative of "E.T.," "Dune," and "Mad Max," this film is "hilariously bad," according to Paul Attanasio of the Washington Post. Audiences agree that while the film holds some nostalgia, it's "packed full of '80s clichés" that just don't work.

"The Covenant," a movie about a group of teenage warlocks who unite to fight off a more-powerful intruder bent on destroying their coven, is chock-full of teenage angst, stiff acting, and lazy dialogue. The film, which was clearly trying to capitalize on the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" mania of the time, fell short in both magic and storytelling. Instead of becoming the next big craze, it earned a reputation as a "bewitching brew of clichés."

As a general rule, third installations in series are rarely as good as the first couple chapters. This is certainly true of "Beverly Hills Cop III," which sees Eddie Murphy's character Axel Foley chasing a group of counterfeiters based out of an L.A. theme park. Despite a number of high-profile cameos, from folks like George Lucas and Joe Dante, a less-exciting story line, weak chemistry between characters, and dull action sequences prompted its star to declare it "garbage."

Few movies have had more absurd plotlines than "King Kong Lives" in which a blood transfusion and heart transplant lead King Kong to fall in love with another oversized ape who becomes the mother of his child. Over-the-top is perhaps the best way to describe the flick's low-quality special effects, terrible production values, and beyond cheesy dialogue. Many a viewer reported that they endured the film simply for a good laugh.

The general consensus when it comes to "Cold Blood" is that it's a generic, watered-down, and boring version of a hitman movie. Jean Reno stars as a retired killer who's forced back into action after meeting an injured woman whose presence in his life throws them both into danger. The film's only saving grace is its cinematography, which turns the bleak Ukrainian landscape into something beautiful.

Another film that sees a deadly killer forced from retirement, "Redemption Day" stars former "CSI" actor Gary Dourdan as a U.S. Marine Captain who heads to Morocco to rescue his beloved wife who has been captured by terrorists. Reminiscent of many '70s action movies, the 2021 film is paranoid in tone, stuffed with incredibly violent action sequences, and not at all engaging.

Despite starring big names like Henry Cavill, Sigourney Weaver, and Bruce Willis, "The Cold Light of Day" was a total box office flop. The action story follows a young Wall Street trader who learns his well-off father is not a diplomat as he's long thought but a spy, and a spy who's been captured at that. Over the course of an incredibly predictable 90 minutes, viewers watch Cavill dodge explosions and evade bad guys as he attempts to return a briefcase that will spare his father's life.

A sort-of reboot of a late-'70s TV series, "Fantasy Island" is a horror-action movie about a group of young adults who, upon arriving on a mysterious island, find their deepest fantasies turned into their worst nightmares.

The first official live-adaptation of "Dragonball Z" manga, "Dragonball Evolution" was, unfortunately, a huge flop, even among the franchise's most devoted fans. Many argued that the film wasn't very faithful to its source material, particularly in its levity and action sequences, instead pretending to be a deep drama with uncharacteristic romantic elements. Audiences also didn't appreciate the way the movie tried to Westernize the story, setting it in a typical American high school rather than Goku's inventive universe.

"Fantastic Four" was 20th Century Fox's attempt to reboot the Marvel Comics superhero franchise that had previously materialized on the big screen with a 2005 film and its 2007 sequel that were commercial hits despite being panned by critics. However, the supposedly new-and-improved version starring Miles Teller, Kate Mara, and Michael B. Jordan was still panned by critics while also being a financial failure. It had a domestic box office gross of $56.1 million against a $120 million budget. Ironically, it is also the only film in the franchise to appear on this list.

The hulking Craig Fairbrass stars in "The Outsider" a film about a British military contractor with a specific set of skills who sets out to find his daughter after mistakenly being told she's dead.

A black comedy, "Killers Anonymous" sees the members of a killer support group try to unravel the mystery of who is responsible for an assassination attempt on a U.S. senator.

A follow-up to the 1972 film "The Poseidon Adventure," "Beyond the Poseidon Adventure" sees two groups of treasure hunters descend on the capsized ship in hopes of claiming its drowned fortunes for themselves. While the original film was a smash hit, the sequel was a total flop, despite the efforts of its all-star cast which included names like Michael Caine, Sally Field, and Mark Harmon. Critics attribute its failure to the fact that it was too similar to other entries in the disaster film genre and didn't bring anything new or inventive to the table.

Almost identical to 1998's "Deep Rising," "Virus" is about a tugboat crew who board a nearly deserted ship only to find that it is inhabited by a malicious alien presence.

Pierce Brosnan and Renny Harlin, who had originally signed onto the film before dropping out, escaped the wrath of not only the movie's monsters but also the critics who panned the project and the moviegoers who refused to show up in theaters.

An adaptation of the Christian book series that chronicles the end of the world (source material, the Bible's book of Revelation), "Left Behind: The Movie" is part disaster film, part made-for-television action flick.

Not to be confused with the similarly named Winston Churchill biopic, "The Darkest Hour" follows a group of Moscow partiers who find themselves fighting back against an invisible group of aliens who decide to take over the Earth one random weekend night.

If the title of this film, "Surf Nazis Must Die," didn't do enough to indicate just how awful it would be, sitting through the first five minutes will really drive the point home.

Even action hero Bruce Willis couldn't save "Extraction," a movie about a government employee (Kellan Lutz) who sets out to save his father (Willis as an ex-CIA agent) after he's been kidnapped by terrorists.

Truly one of the most bizarre films on our list, "Yoga Hosers" follows two yoga-obsessed teen girls who fight a Frankenstein-esque, Nazi monster who threatens to cancel the biggest party of the year. Despite a completely nonsensical plotline, Lily-Rose Depp and Harley Quinn Smith agreed to star as the main characters (both unoriginally named Colleen), as did the younger Depp's parents, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis.

After the massive success of 2000's "Big Momma's House" ($117.6 million) and moderate success of 2006's "Big Momma's House 2" ($70.2 million), 20th Century Fox essentially killed the Martin Lawrence-led franchise with "Big Mommas: Like Father Like Son." Jascha Washington declined to reprise his role as Lawrence's character's son from the original film, leading to the casting of Brandon T.

The first of many Adam Sandler projects commissioned by Netflix, "The Ridiculous 6" is a Western spoof about an orphan raised by Native Americans who joins his outlaw half-brothers on a mission to save their wayward father. The humor in the self-proclaimed comedy is lazy at its best and offensive at its worst (rumor has it, a number of Native American extras walked off of set in protest of the racist jokes), adding next to nothing to an underdeveloped story. Veteran actors like Steve Buscemi, Danny Trejo, and Terry Crews do their best to work with the material they've been handed, but they just can't seem to bring the 119-minute project to life.

An adaptation of the iconic video game franchise and a sequel to the original film, "Silent Hill: Revelation" was a huge disappointment for fans. While its cinematography, sets, and camerawork were extraordinarily well done, its convoluted plot (taken from two separate installations in the game series) and bizarre subplots made it fall flat with its target audience.

Milla Jovovich played a woman who is infected with a virus and develops superhuman powers in the futuristic action flick "Ultraviolet." Despite the movie earning just $18.5 million at the U.S. box office against a $30 million budget, its legacy continues in the form of a novelization and an anime series titled "Ultraviolet: Code 044."

Two '80s action icons, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren, star in "Black Water" a movie about two prisoners trapped on a submarine (one an undercover operative) who must work together to discover how they ended up there and how they can get out. There's no one thing that makes this movie so terrible, but more the fact that it's uninspired, formulaic, and just generally forgettable. Fans of the two main stars might find the film enjoyable, but there's little to recommend it to a wider audience.

Gary Oldman makes an appearance as an eye-patch-wearing bad guy in "The Courier," a movie about a London-based delivery woman who saves a criminal witness in the nick of time from almost certain death. Although technically a very well-made film, this one lost audiences and critics alike during its hour-long fight scene set in the basement of a parking garage. The cheesy dialogue and poorly constructed soundtrack didn't help matters either.

Thanks to "Speed" and its $121.2 million domestic take against a $30 million budget, producers at 20th Century Fox could have had a surefire hit with "Speed 2: Cruise Control." Maybe it was the replacement of Sandra Bullock's original co-star Keanu Reeves with Jason Patric, or perhaps it was the substitution of the film's speeding-bus setting with a slow-moving ship, but the sequel only managed to muster a $48.6 million domestic gross against an inflated $160 million budget.

Antonio Banderas suffered an embarrassing misstep in "Gun Shy," a comedy-action flick about a washed-up rockstar who sets out to save his wife from a group of kidnappers. Kimber Myers, a critic from the Los Angeles Times, says that the biggest issue with the film is that it doesn't "fully commit" to either of its genres, choosing instead to flop between the two in an obnoxious, hard-to-watch way.

In "9/11," five passengers from all different walks of life find themselves trapped in a World Trade Center elevator on the morning of the terrorist attacks, and form close bonds as they work together to escape the horror. The chief criticism of the film is that it uses one of America's greatest tragedies as an attention-grabbing backdrop without actually saying anything about the event or treating it with the respect it's due. Major names, like Charlie Sheen, Whoopi Goldberg, Gina Gershon, and Luis Guzman star.

Earning a mere half-star rating from Roger Ebert, "Reprisal" is about a bank manager (Frank Grillo) who teams up with his ex-cop neighbor (Bruce Willis) to track down the bank robber who killed his coworker in a heist years ago. The plot and characters never really get more developed than that, which leaves the film feeling more like a vehicle for weaponry shots and action sequences than a story worth caring about.

Cheesy dialogue, a ridiculous plot, and characters who aren't deserving of the talented actors who play them are the major issues in "Soldiers of Fortune." The B-movie, which was released in 2012, follows two ex-marines as they lead a group of millionaires through a mock military mission that suddenly turns real.

Another sports action movie with some excellent stunts but little else to offer, "Extreme Ops" is a complete waste of 93 minutes. The story follows a group of winter sports athletes who, during the filming of a commercial, accidentally unveil and interfere in a terrorism operation, which puts them in substantial danger. Aside from its inane plot, the movie's laughable dialogue and bad editing earned it a mostly rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Halle Berry takes on the Catwoman outfit for a standalone adventure featuring the DC Comics character, who is known for being one of Batman's greatest adversaries.

John Travolta stars as a speedboat-racing champion and multimillionaire who leads a double life in 2018's "Speed Kills." The mob-related biopic was described by Variety magazine as cloddish, and has been accused of glorifying the life of the real-life criminal it's based on. Unfortunately for its star, the movie wasn't the career relaunching vehicle he hoped it would be.

A retelling of the biblical story of a strong man who loses his gift when he cuts his hair, "Samson" cast relative unknown Taylor James in its titular role. Between James's inexperience, the film's choppy special effects, and the director's inexplicable choice to cut the sex and violence that populate the source material, the film is a weak offering at best. It didn't help that the studio chose the same release date as Marvel's smash-hit "Black Panther."

M.

One of the world's most famous ballets may not seem like prime source material for an action movie, but Andrei Konchalovsky was determined to try. In this family flick, a girl (Elle Fanning) is led into an alternate world by a nutcracker doll come to life, who enlists her help in saving their fantasyland from the rule of malicious rats. Rambling, poorly conceived, and visually bland, "The Nutcracker: The Untold Story" failed to entertain even the most convincing of audiences.

In "Kangaroo Jack," Jerry O'Connell and Anthony Anderson played friends whose dealings with the mob require them to deliver $50,000 to Australia only to lose the cash to a wild kangaroo. The movie was originally conceived as an action-packed mob-comedy but was later retooled as an animal flick that was marketed to kids despite featuring themes inappropriate for young audiences. The result was a critical failure that frustrated parents and barely broke even at the box office.

"Vice" marks another Bruce Willis appearance on this list, this time as the operator of a resort whose clientele can act out their wildest fantasies with androids.

Based on a TV show of the same name, "The Mod Squad" follows three juvenile delinquents who shirk their jail sentences in order to become undercover cops and bust an illegal drug ring.

Six years after the surprising success of "Paul Blart: Mall Cop," Kevin James returned to the role in a sequel whose final gross was less than half that of its predecessor ($71 million vs. $146.3 million). However, the Vegas-set "Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2" was still considered profitable thanks to its modest $30 million budget even if critics and audiences agreed it was just the same old segway on a shiny new track.

A martial arts, science-fiction hybrid, "Jiu Jitsu" co-stars Nicolas Cage and Tony Jaa as members of an elite group of fighters tasked with defeating an alien race in order to save humanity. Extremely low budget, the film's plot barely holds together, and its tone wavers somewhere between laugh-out-loud funny and extremely serious.

The A.V. Club called "Assassin's Bullet" a "shameless, dismal vanity project." The film, which touts Christian Slater and Donald Sutherland as its stars, actually devotes most of its runtime to Elika Portnoy, who conceived and funded the film, and who plays a rogue assassin obsessed with tracking down international criminals, even as she is being hunted by the FBI. A nonsensical narrative and gratuitous violence define the film which earned very little applause from audiences or critics.

Producers at 20th Century Fox hoped to duplicate the commercial success of their first "Street Fighter" film with a reboot, albeit 15 years later. However, the Kristin Kreuk-led "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" garnered its predecessor's poor critical reception without its box office prosperity.

It stars Jason Statham as a man in a pseudo-medieval kingdom who sets out to rescue his kidnapped wife and avenge his son's death. The movie boasts Boll's largest production budget at $60 million—a travesty considering it only managed to pull $4.8 million in the U.S. Despite its commercial and critical failure, the director has since gone on to make two sequels that were delegated directly to home video.

In "Crossover" the lives of two gifted athletes, played by Wesley Jonathan and Anthony Mackie, are changed forever when they take a trip to Los Angeles and attempt to beat the city's streetball champions. Similar to "Supercross," the sports-action movie is just a compilation of overused tropes crammed into a poorly written story line and brought to life with subpar filmmaking techniques. All in all, it's an uninspiring tale, and the 95 minutes you'd invest in watching it would be better spent elsewhere.

The flick, whose cast also included Tara Reid and Stephen Dorff, was met with atrocious reviews and a $10.4 million worldwide box office gross—half that of that film's production budget. Blair Erickson, a writer who developed one of the film's first drafts, has since publicaly written about how Boll destroyed what could have been a good movie.
