I put the word SCRIPTED in there to make my question more specific. What in your opinion – do the characters have just the worst dialog or screenplay. Some of them can actually be popular movies.
I was just watching one the other night "Tango & Cash" with Stallone and Kurt Russell. It was fairly popular in th 80s. It was a pretty decent comedy/action film with a pretty simple plot, but the screenplay was just awful.
Aside the one punch Stallone makes about Rambo, the number of liners is countless.
What are some movies you can think of with terrible screenplays?
I can think of a couple more off the top of my head. Any movie buffs out there have any bad lines that make no sense, poor taste or just don’t carry a message?
Lemme know!
Another example I just thought of was a John Carpenter flick from the 80s called "They LIve". Oh the humanity…
There was dialog and a fight scene where Roddy Piper wrestled with Keith David for like 10 mins just to convince him to try on a pair of sunglasses…
"Put em on!"
"No!"
-smash, smash, grunt -
The movie was actually pretty entertaining, but man – I could have rewritten a screenplay to do this justice.
Epic Movie – horrible
Kazaam – worse than horrible
Fast and the furious. Vin Diesel’s line"I live my life a quarter mile at a time" has got to be one of the dumbest lines in movie history

I know Arnold Schwarzenegger movies have never been thinkers or complex, but the movie Collateral Damage I thought was especially bad. I went to it with a friend and we were literally laughing at how bad it was.

The worst scripted for me was Flowers in the Attic. They did’nt follow the books at all. I know I could have done a better job than they did.
