There are many big stars out there and sometimes, they make bad films. It happens to the best of us but some stars have unfortunately been in some incredibly embarrassing pictures so here’s a list of some movies that they probably wish we could all forget about.
- The Party At Kitty And Stud’s – Sylvester Stallone
Before “Rocky” made him a household name, Sylvester Stallone appeared in a low-budget adult film by the name of “The Party At Kitty Stud’s”. Stallone was apparently really struggling for money at the time. What made matters worse is that after the success of “Rocky”, the adult film was released again, this time with the title “The Italian Stallion” (Rocky’s nickname) to capitalise on the boxing film’s popularity. I feel sorry for any unsuspecting audience member thinking they were seeing another “Rocky” picture.
- Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation – Matthew McConaughey and Renée Zellweger
The fourth instalment in the “Texas Chainsaw” franchise features cringeworthy performances from both Matthew McConaughey (“Interstellar”) and Renée Zellweger (“Bridget Jones’s Diary”). While it’s certainly not unusual to find horror movies with big stars in early appearances, few horror films are as bad as this. I’m sure this is one film that both stars would love to forget.
- Carnival In Rio – Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold Schwarzenegger (“The Terminator”, “True Lies”) became one of the biggest film stars in the world and later, he held political office in California. It’s then pretty awful to see him in a television travel documentary where he basically spends the entire time lusting after Brazilian women and groping them any chance he gets. I imagine if the masses were aware of this film, he might not have got as many votes in elections, especially from women.
- The Star Wars Holiday Special – The Cast Of Star Wars
The first “Star Wars” film revolutionised cinema and remains one of the most culturally significant pieces of entertainment. Before following it up with “The Empire Strikes Back”, there was a television special for the holidays. Aired only once, you won’t find any official release of this on home video because everybody involved seems to be so embarrassed by it. Despite featuring the cast of “Star Wars” (along with several other celebrities), it is truly one of the worst specials in existence.
- The Day The Clown Cried – Jerry Lewis
Even more rare than the “The Star Wars Holiday Special” is “The Day The Clown Cried”, a film that has still never seen any form of official release. There have allegedly been a few private screenings but Jerry Lewis (“The King Of Comedy”) did everything he could to stop this from being seen. That’s probably because it features him playing a clown tasked with luring Jewish children to gas chambers at a Nazi concentration camp.
