Well, by worst I meant, utterly hilarious.
Check out these clips from a Bollywood action film. Sooo bad, they're glorious.
The amazing horse skid! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHYznAb9D9I)
Logic-defying leap! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKczXMQKgUM&NR)
Ha ha. Those are pretty bad.
If you thought those were bad, check out the ones in the Brother Grimm. The moving trees, crows, bugs, kid eating horses, it all was quite possibly the worst CGI I've ever seen. And the CGI wolf looked like a stop-motion puppet.
haha great.
the horse skidding effect wouldnt have been so bad if they didn't show the horse rolling on his back first when it fell
Wow Brothers Grimm was a bad moive, the poor CGI was just the tip of the iceberg.
Plane crash in Air Force One hands down. The Worst CGI EVER!!!
Ultraviolet was worse
If anyone has ever scene The Martian Chronicles when it aired on TV... boy oh boy... crap optical effects and compositing work but the story was well done. ;D
I just watched the horse skid. OMG! That was to funny. :D ;D
The guy falling down the stairs is Psycho.

I thought it was really fun,
The horse skid seems to be intentionally bad, so it's kinda cool. ;D
Blade 2 and the Mummy Returns had some pretty ropey CGI in them.
I don't see what difference this makes, if the films budget only stretches to certain levels of CGI then so what?

Yeah, but that's also because they had so many freakin' shots to finish that some of them got farmed out to other effects houses and the quality dropped. Blade 2 especially had some shots which were fantastic (the reapers' faces) and then some that were just laughable (Blade's digital stunt double).

Sorry, but when it comes to bad computer animation, NOTHING can top the stupid, unbelievably fake-looking PlayStation scorpions from
3000 Miles to Graceland.
Come on, The Scorpion King.
Flash Gordon? North by Northwest?

Yeah, Blades digital double wasn't that good but it paved the way for the digital Spider-Man, wich was pretty sweet.

That doesn't mean anything either. Whether it's 100 million dollar movie or a 10 million dollar movie, bad CGI is bad CGI. The reason I quite liked the horse skid was that it (to me at least) intentionally draws its awfulness to the viewer. It's not trying to be cool or flashy.

I read that too, and I specifically said "some" CGI effects, not all of them. The thing I don't get is the Scorpion King at the end of the Mummy Returns: It's the climax of the movie, something meant to top everything else that has come before it, and yet it's a spectacular let-down.
Ahem. The plane cockpit in "Plan 9 from Outer Space." Followed closely by Ed Wood's octopus.
I think the Rock/Scorpion thing was awful. I may stand corrected on the Air Force One plane crash being the worst. But it is my standard for terrible CGI.
how did north by northwest even get into this thread??!!!!!!??
Yeah I say The Scorpion King because it was ILM, it wasn't 2$ budget Ed Woods stuff, this was big name flick, big name studio and it was complete ass.
its a classic. damned good acting, interesting plot, some of the most famous shots in movie history. Yeah some of it looks a little dated but its hardly "bad"

Maybe he's one of those "Time is relative" guys who thinks that everything is happening all at once and should be held up to todays film making standards. Just a thought.
time is happening all at once but we cant perceive it that way so its irrelavent.
The scene that stands out most in my mind is in Spiderman when Peter is discovering his powers and he's jumping from rooftop to rooftop. The motions are so exagerated it just kills the moment. It happens in lots of the current superhero movies. I can't wait until they can portray humans in CGI without it looking all fakey.

That's why my vote is, "Closeups of stormtroopers in Ep II." Geroge. How much would it cost to put a SAG member in a suit for a day?
The climax to Congo, a terrible movie that would make for a great Rifftrax, features some truly horrible CGI lava effects. The color and texture of the lava are way off and the scene is already a spectacularly stupid one involving killer gorillas.
