Worst Sports Movie Ever

[korme]

I was just filling out an IWS yesterday, thinking, wow, I cannot think of a movie that I really think is terrible.

But Angels in the Outfield today almost took the cake. The logistics of baseball is ridiculous. First of all Danny Glover walks up and talks to some kids next to the dugout, and this is the manager talking to fans, and no one seems to notice. If a manager or player started having a conversation with some fans, guys would probably run up for an auto or something. Instead, no one is even acknowledging this rare occurence.

Then after one of the games, the radio guy comes over and is talking to this like, 7 year old kid, and believes every word the kid says. If I am a 40 year old guy and hear this kid talking about angels helping the team, I'd be like oh thats just a little kid, instead this guy is like, tell me more, this is incredible, I believe you word for word son.

The starter in the final game has given up 2 runs by the 2nd inning, so they put a reliever in the pen? WTF, give the man a chance. BTW, Tony Danza? Worst windup ever. Oh, and "you can tell he is tired". No starter is tired by the second, you douche-ass movie producers. I don't care if this is a kid's movie.

Then, they skip to the 7th, where the starter is still in, and it shows the same reliever throwing in the pen. Guy is warming up for 5 innings.

Now onto the 9th, Danza still in, reliever STILL warming up. Ugh, fake fake fake. They bring up some guy and they show his tattoo right as the PA guy goes "Up to the plate, the RBI leader, Hit or Die". What kind of terrible lousy nickname is that and of course the guy has a huge scar on his face for the whole antagonistic bad-ass appeal.

Anyways, I hate this movie now almost as much as I hate Rookie of the Year where the final batter is similarly bad-ass looking but at least it's funny because they throw him the old lob ball and he sticks his tongue out before whiffing (always a classic to impersonate that part of the movie). And the janitor from Scrubs is atleast in that, so that's cool too.

Bull Durham.

[korme]

Bull Durham was classic man.

Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Goodnight..

Ohhhh my..

[LloydLungs]

Actually I think Bull Durham's quite overrated. A few weeks ago I became the last guy in America to finally see it, after years and years of hearing hype about it, and it just didn't ring true to me at all. Way, way too cliched.

But the WORST? Nah, not as long as there have been movies about field goal-kicking mules.

[Buccaneer]

True, but I didn't have any expectations for movies with mules.

[Maple Leafs]

Sorry. This is a non-starter. Might Ducks wins, hands down, end of discussion.

For one thing, it's an awful movie. Just a terrible representation of the sport of hockey. Not even close. It's beyond a slap in the face. Mighty Ducks unzips its pants, pulls out it's toddler-like penis, and urinates all over the great sport of hockey.

But it's even worse. It was a Disney kid's movie, so suddenly a generation of American kids think that's what hockey is like. Then Disney buys a team, calls them the freaking Mighty Ducks, and suddenly we have Fox-bots and glowing pucks and Emelio Estevev being interviewed on all-star weekend. Eventually, hockey-loving NHL coaches invented the neutral zone trap in an effort to get US hockey fans to hang themsevles.

Yes, a movie so bad it killed a sport. Top that.

That is so funny. I had actually thought that the ice skating they have between the boxing and wrestling matches were what killed the sport.

I agree. I think Shorty just made the Trendy answer and I agree. That's not even Kevin Costner's best baseball movie. (Not that his other one was that great)

I think that was actually Major League 3...which is a close second to...

Will you marry me?

[LionsFan10]

What about Air Bud? And every other movie where a golden retriever suddenly becomes the QB, WR & K for a football team? Oh, and not only that, this dog plays hoops, too. Because he's that good. Air Bud is also into futbol (he's not just American, he's European too), Air Bud - World Pup has got to be bad.

If you thought it stopped there, guess what? You're wrong, Air Bud is also a reliever, and a slugger with Barry Bonds power in "Air Bud - Seventh Inning Fetch."

And for those who are interested, he plays world class volleyball in "Air Bud Spikes Back." Now at least all the movies you guys are complaining about have HUMANS playing these sports, not a golden retriever.

[Shkspr]

Speaking of Barry Bonds, THE FAN sucked. :)

I remember throughout each of the movies asking myself 20x, why isn't that guy getting called for a penalty?

You sound like a hockey fan. Maybe you can explain to me why real pros like Keith Tkcahuchachuk and those guys haven't added the "knucklepuck" to their offensive arsenal.

I still haven't seen it, so you weren't the last.

Maybe one of 'em, though.

As bad as Rocky IV was - and I do think it was terrible - Rocky V was far worse. It might even be worse than Fast Break.

[rkmsuf]

Slip the jab...


**wait till you see Rocky VI. We may have a new contender

[Honolulu_Blue]

Rocky IV (the one with Dolph Lundgren)

Rocky IV is a great movie. It's hillarious. Apollo Creed's pre-fight speech is fantastic. The soundtrack is phenomenal. The training sequences great. A solid flick.

[MJ4H]

And yet, everyone forgets Slap Shot 2, with a gawd-awful Baldwin Brother... Dear God, makes Mighty Ducks (Insert Number here) look like an Oscar winner...

Speaking of that I just watched Slapshot for the first time the other day. My gosh those hanson brothers had me in tears. What a bizarre movie.

[gottimd]

Well since the IOC considers this a sport, have you ever seen the movie "GymKata"? Easily one of the worst movies, but a must see for a high rating on the unintentional comedy scale. It is kind of like Rambo, except something on the lines where a gymnast saves the communist country by using only his gymnast skills. So stupidly funny it should be in the top 10 for worst sports movies if that is considered a sport.

Gymkata Synopsis (http://www.joebobbriggs.com/bmovieguide/g/gymkata.html)

[Dawgfan1980]

Slapshot was a great flick, unbelievable, and what hockey was in the late 70's, Slapshot 2? I guess it is what hockey is in hell.

As for Rocky IV, yeah, I guess Dolph does help any movie toward a downward spiral toward hell.

[cody8200]

All Air Bud and Rocky 5...simply a train wreck.

Okay, okay, Sorry Franklin, I forgot about that one... I don't get out much...

Gymkata Synopsis (http://www.joebobbriggs.com/bmovieguide/g/gymkata.html)

The best part of that movie is the "Town of the Damned" or whatever hell that village of crazy people is. In the middle of the village, conveniently, is a stone pommel horse the Gymkata guy uses to kick crazy-ass peasant ass. Then, in the middle of the fight, the guy's believed-to-be-dead father shows up on the roof-top to save him from the crazy mob.

Sorry for the spoiler, but the statute of limitations ran out about 15 years ago...

[bamcgee]

I actually saw Gymkata all the way through when I was about 10 years old. Fantastically awful, even then. However, I couldn't make it through twenty minutes of Caddyshack 2, so that gets my vote.

[ISiddiqui]

Rookie of the Year. The one thing I mostly remember is that the Cubs were playing the Mets in the WORLD SERIES that year! This is basic stuff that anyone could have researched. I realize that it would be nice to face a division rival in the last game, but then make it the NLCS or something. That and the illegal underhanded toss to get the guy out... which IRL, the hitter would have crushed.

Followed closely by Major League 2. Vaughn becomes preppy? Hayes decides he's got HR power? Dorn buys the team and then sells it back to the bitch, who is willing to buy it back?! WHAT?!

Major League 3, at least, was about new players (well except for a few who got sent down to the minors from the bigs.. like Rube).

I actually liked Little Big League.

I can't actually say Caddyshack II, because I couldn't get though it, and I must see the entire movie if it goes on one of these lists.

[Dawgfan1980]

Ah, but Major League 2 gave us the immortal line "He'll need a rocket up his ass to catch this one" from the announcer (Due to Restraining orders, I'm not allowed to say his name)

Rookie of the Year, I couldn't watch, and Caddyshack II, didn't the gopher get the gross from that movie?

[korme]

Hell of a situation we got here. Two on, two out, your team down a run and you've got the chance to be the hero on national television ... if you don't blow it. Saw your wife last night. Great little dancer. That guy she was with? I'm sure he's a close personal friend, but tell me, what was he doing with her panties on his head?

[JeeberD]

I think that was actually Major League 3...


Major League 2 was pretty bad, and the third one was so bad that they had to make it in Utah.

BASEketball.

Dude, BASEketball was freakin' hilarious!

[Franklinnoble]

Dude, BASEketball was freakin' hilarious!
Bah. They need to stick to South Park.

[BlingBlingKilla]

GymKata was one of my favorite movies growing up. It made me want to get involved in martial arts and become a man, but at the same time it appealed to my desire to prance around in a gymnastics leotard and be all faggoty.

My favorite part of that movie is when the guy in the Town of the Crazys turns around and he aint got no pants on! I also liked the guy with two faces, and the ninja who got killed because he broke some rules.

Oh yeah, Quicksilver was bad....and so was Any Given Sunday

[Sun Tzu]

Rocky I-IV were all great movies IMO.

Worst sports movie ever......Necessary Roughness.

Sinbad just wasn't meant to be an Offensive Guard. Ooooh god the horrors.

Breaking away was pretty poor(ITS about cycling for god sakes)

Ooh.. i got it..

The Air up There.. worst sports movie ever (what do i win?)

And Neccessary Roughness was a great one too. Can't go wrong with a villain named Flat-top.

[Suicane75]

Does Gleaming The Cube count as a sports movie?

[miked]

Yeah, and what was that movie with Rebecca Stamos and LL Cool J? It was some rollerball movie or something. I forget who else was in it, but it looked awful.

Edit: Duh, it was Rollerball... :p

[MacroGuru]

As bad as Rocky IV was - and I do think it was terrible - Rocky V was far worse. It might even be worse than Fast Break.
Youse and me, Tommy, we were supposed to be like this.

[JeeberD]

At least you got to see Rebecca's boobies in Rollerball. That made it semi-worthwhile...

[gottimd]

Not sure if anyone mentioned this one already, but "The Replacements" was pretty awful as well.

I second this! Breaking Away is much more likely to be compared to classics than with movies the likes of Caddyshack 2.

[ISiddiqui]

Worst sports movie ever......Necessary Roughness.

That's just wrong, dude. Necessary Roughness is a classic.

[EagleFan]

Rocky 5, Caddyshack 2 hands down from the movies that I have seen. I wish I could sue the movie producers for that time that I can no longer get back from my life.

As far as Slapshot goes, I loved it right up until the end. That whole ending ruined it for me. (sorry, just a grumpy sports guy)

[Pumpy Tudors]

Of the ones mentioned, the worst for me are Caddyshack II (though I didn't see the whole thing) and Rookie of the Year. Juwanna Mann wasn't mentioned, but that's pretty terrible, too.

As for some of the others mentioned, I love Necessary Roughness. I could watch it over and over. Little Big League got a brief mention in this thread, and I like that one also. I thought Slap Shot was simply average. It certainly wasn't bad (except for the ending, which was horrid, as EagleFan mentioned), but I didn't enjoy it as much as many other people seem to. I also find Major League 2 and BASEketball to be pretty decent, although they're not great.

Now, this may get me shot, but I actually liked the first Mighty Ducks movie. Yeah, as far as the hockey scenes, they were pretty silly, but somehow, I actually liked the story. I found the second Mighty Ducks movie to be watchable. I could watch it again someday. The third Mighty Ducks movie was painful. It's nearly as bad as Rookie of the Year, and to me, that's really bad.

So, um, let's all get together and watch Necessary Roughness?

[Dutch]

I think I like a lot more movies than most people do. I pretty much a sucker for movies. If I don't like a movie, it SUCKED.

Angels in the Outfield and Mighty Ducks were fine movies, they were made primarily with kids in mind, so take that for what it's worth. I like some kid movies and didn't dislike those two.

But if you gotta shoot Pumpy, I guess you gotta shoot me too.

[Ragone]

Drago's son kills rocky's son (which would make the movie watchable for first part at least) then rocky comes outta retirement to also get killed by drago's son.. thus ending the series

[korme]

I think a lot of people underestimate the Matrix 3. Matrix 1 was a very good movie, Matrix 2 sucked. Matrix 3 was supposed to revive the whole series and make it a great trilogy. Instead, they had to end the movie with not the machines winning nor the humans, but peace. You've got to be kidding me. That is complete and utter bullshit. One of the worst endings in any movie I have ever seen.


But the worst movie of all time is one that thank god was not popular. Ghostdog starring Forrest Whittaker. Absolutely ridiculous movie. If you want a good laugh, watch this movie. Its the most laughable drama I have ever seen.
sports movie?

[cthomer5000]

What!?!? Breaking Away is a great movie. Seriously, a great movie. It's not so much a sports movie as it is a classic film. The Cutters! Bonjour Papa! The music. The acting. All of it.

Breaking Away was definitely a solid movie. Watching it even inspired a thread by me around here asking why the star didn't hit it big. He was great in that movie.

[cthomer5000]

I was walking aroung Blockbuster video the other day, and after deciding I couldn't really find anything I was interested in, I heading towards the door. I passed this bin that was attached to an end of one of the aisles with a sign that read something to the effect of "Changed Your Mind?" Sitting inside it was Air Bud: World Pup. I would question anyone who didn't have second thoughts about renting that - kids or no kids.

[Logan]

Ah, but Major League 2 gave us the immortal line "He'll need a rocket up his ass to catch this one" from the announcer (Due to Restraining orders, I'm not allowed to say his name)

"If that's not Shaquille O'Neal out there in left, this ball is outta here."

[Critch]

"The Scout" staring Brendan Fraser. It's utter crap, even by Brendan Fraser's low standards.

[msf518]

Like Mike with Lil Bow Wow in the NBA....enough said, I cant believe no one mentioned this previously

[TroyF]

I'm sorry, this really isn't even a contest. Rollerball might not only be the worst sports movie of all time, it could very well be the worst MOVIE of all time. Bill Simmons would say Gymkata, but I'd have to disagree. I honestly thought about yanking this one from the VCR after 2 minutes of viewing, the quickest I've ever had the impulse to turn off a movie. I sat through it hoping it would have SOME redeeming quality. It doesn't. Rebecca could have had a hardcore porn seen and it couldn't have saved this steaming pile of crap.

A second mention for The Fan too. Man, I think Robert D is in this, it has to be good. Wesley Snipes isn't great, but he's OK. What a freakin let down. If Rollerball hadn't been released, this would win going away.

Primate of the Year?

Any movie with an animal as the star.....Air Bud et alYou have paraphrased my thoughts eloquently. Automatically worst sports movie -- any film in which an animal plays a non-animal sport or a kid with no discernible talent suddenly becomes a major league player, coach or goodluck charm (to include Little Big League and Angels in the Random Sport Field of Choice).

After that, Caddyshack II. Painful.

Agreed. Taken alone it's a steaming pile of horse dung. The dishonor it heaps on the original Caddyshack makes it the worst.

"Eddie" has to be the worst sports movie ever. Whoopie Goldberg as a fan who gets to coach the Knicks? Yeah right.


But, if this ever happened: http://www.petitiononline.com/d4ducks/petition.html

it would be BY FAR the worst.

That football movie with the guy from Taxi. And Who's the Boss.


Isn't that the one where he's a garbage man and a field goal kicker?

I enjoy watching Eddie sometimes.. :( John Salley showing the heart of a champion...

The Fan was absolutely terrible!

--I'm very glad to see that no one mentioned "The Scout" which I really enjoy watching.--

White Men Can't Jump gets my vote. It is a horrible, horrible movie and it has Rosie Perez' nails-on-chalkboard voice.

Someone should shoot whoever made the Airbud movies.

Just a few comments:

To whoever said the Cubs play the Mets in the World Series in Rookie of the Year, that is not true. The play in the a tiebreaker game I believe. Then at the end, he pumps his fist after a Little League game, revealing his World Series ring, which implies they went on to beat someone else in the World Series. Then again you could complain about the Cubs actually winning the World Series.

I actually liked Mighty Ducks 1 and 2 but 3 was awful. I mean how can a team who just won the Junior Hockey World Championship be a decent JV team when entering high school. That just makes no sense.

For the worst movie ever, I'll have to go with a tie between Rocky V and Major League 3(which I actually saw in the theater).

If it was a tiebreaker game, then the Cubs would have to win 2 more series... without their ace pitcher who was the only reason they got that far. Very unlikely.

I don't disagree, I was just saying that I'm 100% certain that they never said it was the World Series.
