What are they? What would you say are the absolute worst special effects you have ever seen in a movie?

I'd say some of the worst i've ever seen are in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. God those effects were just plain aweful.

Also, even if Blade II is one of, if not my most favorite movie, the effects during the ninja fight in Blade and Whistler's warehouse weren't too good. When Blade and Nyssa were against the lights fighting, their CGI bodies just looked silly. Even Guillermo Del Toro, who directed the movie said he hated those CGI shots during that one fight, lol.

What are the worst you've ever seen?

Most of the special effects in Robocop, especially the the Mech-looking-thing and when Dick Jones falls out of the window (his arms looked like 6-feet long each). Also the last few scenes of The Blob (the 80's version), I hate the running in front of taped footage shit.

But, of all of the movies I've seen with shitty special effects, Flesh Eating Mothers takes the cake. Cartoon animation of DNA under a microscope, horrible make-up, poor blood effects, crappy dubbed eating scenes(if you saw it you know what I mean),awkward looking flesh tearing, and the creme de la creme, and exploding ceramic head! But if you want to watch a really bad movie with friends for a laugh, this one is one of the best to rent. Deffinatly for fans of Mistery Science Theater 3000.

The alien in "Signs."

I remember that scene where they were showing footage from a kid's birthday party. They (the producers) had some AWESOME background music, building some MAJOR suspense 'cause we (the audience and the people in the movie watching the footage) were gonna clearly see the alien for the first time. Suddenly the music stops and we get to see the alien and....I laughed my ass off.

I sincerely doubt that's the reaction they were looking for.

See they shouldn't have revealed too much of the alien. They should have kept it in the shadows so maintain the suspense. The living room should have been darker allow for the effect.

Really.....

SOME of it looks fake, like the clamation they used with one or two of the creatures, and the lightsabers in the 1st one DID look kinda cheesey... But that's about it. The anamatronics and the spaceships still look pretty real to me... better then the new ones anyways... with all that overexaggerated CGI and what not.

But if you want to see a movie with REEEEEEEEEEEALLLLLY lame ass special effects, see SPAWN... jesus christ! it was ruined by the abuse of CGI.

I dunno if any of you guys have ever seen the official worst movie ever made. Plan 9 from Outer Space. But when your special effects are hanging a toy space ship from fishing line and making wooshing noises yourself, something must be said. They were trying to be serious mind you.

Those were the all time worse special effects and if you doubt me, go see the movie. Besides that I have to agree on MK:A as well.

The Matrix Reloaded had much worse FX than the first Matrix had. But, i'm not a fan of any of the Matrix movies. Matrix Reloaded downright sucked, IMO. Not only the FX were bad.

Also, the first Terminator didn't have very good FX. I agree with whoever mentioned that.

All the Matrix Films had good Effects. You can't say they didn't. You can say, "There was nothing new" But all the effects, The Bullet Time, The Slow-Mo Freeway crashes was equal to or better than the first film.


The Worst effect in any movie ever is in Robocop. At the end when the dude falls out the window.
I agree with most of these. On a slightly side note ,if you've ever seen Hollow man ,in the scene where the gorilla was made invisible ,and they were prepping its arm for injection ,to bring it back to visibility. They spray painted its arm to see the vein ,in the next scene you could see the "green screen" where the spraypainted arm area was supposed to be.

I'm sorry, but there is at least one Matrix effect that stands out, that in my opinion was poorly executed. In the Neo vs 100 Agent Smiths, there are moments when the CG Neo looks horrible. The Agent Smiths were fine, but Neo looks like a cartoon. The skin color was off and the movment was either too jerky or too rubbery.

Ahh... I loved that scene. The first time I saw it in theaters. And when I saw it 100 more times on DVD. Not one complaint here.
