The movie so bad that it has been used as all of the following in other media:
The only movie playing in Hell's theater as a method of torture in a children's animated show.
Famously from Gary Larson, the only film available in Hell's video store.
An explosive bomb like weapon in The Animaniacs.
The movie stared Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman, with Charles Grodin and Carol Kane also in the cast. Bette Midler, Susanna Hoffs, Emilio Estevez, Heather Locklear, Jane Seymour, O.J. Simpson, Penny Marshall, Robert Stack, Sally Struthers, Tom Cruise & Mimi Rogers all showed up to the 1987 premiere. It seems like it should be a great pedigree. Yet, it seems to constantly get berated as one of the worst movies ever (see the above as a sample of the portrayal it has gotten in media.)
I've never seen the movie myself, but i've encountered so much in my life that has said that it was perhaps the worst movie ever made so I've really never wanted to. However, I don't think that should mean that we don't allow Paul, June, and Jason to find out if the legends are true by making them watch it.
