Across The Starry Wastes (1997) Starring Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman, Forrest Whittaker, and Sean Connery, and Directed by Luc Besson. Sequel to The Fifth Element, about Coben Dallas and Leloo travelling the galaxy, racing against time to heal the widespread damage of the events of the previous movie, and prevent the re-activation of the Great Darkness, too. Budget ballooned to $200,000,000 dollars, several accidents on-set and in post-production delayed the movie five months, and then it had the bad fortune of debuting right beside James Cameron's Titanic. Made a mere $6,000,000 its opening weekend, and lasted no more than three weeks in first run. Sony Pictures wouldn't recover until the debut of Spider-Man, and this film signaled the end of Sean Connery's tentpole film career. Bruce Willis, though, managed to land on his feet with the releases of The Seige, The Sixth Sense, The Whole Nine Yards, The Kid, Unbreakable, and Hart's War.
Indiana Jones and The City of Gold (1998) With Harrison Ford clearly having aged out of the role of Dr. Jones. Had Indy on a chase against Nazi War Criminals in 1947 through the Brazilian Amazon Basin, who wanted to use the treasure there to build a Fourth Reich. Became the picture giver for the entry "Took The Bad Movie Seriously" on Tvtropes.com.
Ghostbusters (1984) Starring Jim Belushi as Eddie Kong, Tom Hanks as Larry Stortch, and Dee Bradley Baker as Tracy the Gorilla. Live-Action adaptation of the Saturday Morning Cartoon by Filmation, directed by Ward Davis (his first and only feature film credit) and released by 20th Century Fox. Had the misfortune of being released a week after Gremlins, but with laughable special effects that were the only funny part of the flick, and a plodding yet incoherent plot. Nearly destroyed its stars' respective careers. Swept the Razzies that year, and became the only film shown twice on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
