7 Movies So Bad You'll Forget That Any Good Movies Came Out That Year

Cannon

1987 gave us awesome movies like Predator and Robocop. On the other hand, it also gave us some really awful movies, with these 7 being some of the absolute worst.

1) The Garbage Pail Kids Movie

Atlantic

Based on the popular series of gross-but-awesome trading cards for kids, this movie is mean-spirited, ugly to look at, and just plain difficult to watch. Many of the staff involved with making this have openly expressed regretting making it, and for good reason.

2) Masters of the Universe

Cannon

Made to capitalize on the success of the He-Man cartoon and toy line, Masters of the Universe ran both over budget and behind schedule, and the result comes out looking like a mess. Not Dolph Lungren's worst role, but not exactly a winner either.

3) Jaws: The Revenge

Universal

Easily the worst of the Jaws movies, the fourth entry trades any possible terror for unintentional comedy. It basically implies that the shark is a serial killer targeting its victims. The film is so bad, Michael Caine has apparently never seen it despite performing in it.

You're probably thinking that there's no way 1987 could get any worse, but we haven't even gotten to some of the biggest train wrecks yet.

4) Leonard Part 6

Columbia

The movie so bad that Bill Cosby advised people not to see the finished product, despite him producing, co-writing and starring in it. He even bought the broadcast rights so it would never be shown on TV.

5) Superman IV: The Quest For Peace

Cannon

Despite featuring many of the same actors that made the first two Superman films great, Superman IV is barely even watchable. The script (co-written by star Christopher Reeve) is awful, the visuals are worse, and the villain is completely stupid.

6) Death Wish 4: The Crackdown

Cannon

Charles Bronson fumbles his way through the fourth entry in a franchise that had already worn out its welcome, and the result is one of the most mediocre action movies of the day.

7) Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2

Silent Night Releasing Corporation

The first wasn't exactly a great horror movie, but this one's so bad it's funny. Just look at the acting in this. Seriously, this got at least three more sequels.

Do you remember any of these?

Macaulay Culkin Is Back As Kevin From 'Home Alone' And It's Actually Amazing

It's Christmas time, and you know what that means! It's time to watch a family abandon their son in their home and not even call anyone to go take care of him while he fends off burglars and makes an enormous mess of their house! That's right, every year we all gather around the TV and watch Home Alone for the millionth time, enjoying the hilarious antics that young Kevin McCallister gets into.

A Behind-The-Scenes Look At The New Aladdin Is Here And At Least One Of Our Wishes Was Granted

We've been waiting patiently, okay mostly patiently, since Disney announced that Aladdin was being remade. The cartoon remains one of the most iconic movies of all time, and the fact that they were going to try and bring it to life with real humans instead of the animated versions was kind of concerning. We saw the first trailer a while ago, but the only character we actually saw up close was Aladdin himself. We didn't see how the Genie looked, or Jasmine, or any of the other characters. But now, Entertainment Weekly has given us all the first look at

'Mrs. Doubtfire' Cast Reunited To Discuss The 25th Anniversary And Robin Williams

The cast of Mrs. Doubtfire reunited and we were all so excited to see what that meant. Now we finally know why they were back together again. With nothing really happening for the last month, we kind of just thought it was maybe a nice dinner. But nope! It turns out it was actually a big interview to discuss the anniversary, the legacy, and of course Robin Williams. The interview is a good 35 minutes of reminiscing and sharing memories that all make us remember the iconic comedy as the treasure it truly is. Pierce Brosnan, Matthew Lawrence, Lisa Jakub,

Tim Allen Reveals The Original Plan For 'The Santa Clause' Was Way Too Dark For Disney

We've all seen The Santa Clause at least a dozen times, right? It's a Christmas classic and ever since it was released, it has become a staple in our holiday movie schedule. There's something about the movie that manages to keep that Christmas feeling without being way too over the top or corny. I mean, sure, Tim Allen literally becomes Santa, but somehow it all feels like that's totally plausible. The sequels may not have the same realistic feeling, but the original remains iconic. However, Allen just revealed that the original plan for the movie was a lot darker than
