13 Films so bad they stopped careers...

I got a chuckle out of some of the entries on this list. Plus what a great quote:

"[This horrible film] not only put him back in the toilet bowl, it finally pulled the chain."


13 Movies That Brought Their Stars' Careers to a Stop

Some of those were funny, but literally half the list featured actors whose careers recovered. So yea... I call foul, haha!

Heck, I liked all of them except Battlefield Earth. That was the worst SciFi I ever saw and I've seen alot.

Agreed. It's truly awful.

Oh I don't know, I think most of those actors have sunk without trace. Surprisingly, Spielberg really dumped all over the Indiana Jones franchise with Crystal Skull, but at least Harrison Ford has Star Wars, even though he hates it.
But let's face it, these are mostly established actors, in the twilight of their careers, and frankly they've made their millions, so they really don't care if they're in a stinker of a movie. It's a few extra $$$ in the bank.

London Has Fallen, what a load of pants that is, and must of ended some careers.

Almost all of those actors are still relevant, at least half (without getting all scientific about it). And yes, established actors surely don't care, which is why I call foul on the article. It's borderline clickbait... imo of course.

I've not even heard of most of the movies in the list, is it United States only TV movies or something?

No, most were 'major' releases. A few might have been straight to DVD/VHS though.

VHS, Weird Al at his best.

Quite frankly if a movie doesn't have a theatrical release, that's not major IMO, i.e. it's a TV movie, like on HBO or something.

Yes, that's why I stated *most* were major, the ones that were not may have been straight to dvd movies. But those are still worthy, I've watched many excellent straight to dvd movies, fwiw
