- Hollywood movies are expensive, but no worries; they recoup their investment.... most of the time.

In this video, I take a look at the 5 biggest box office bombs of all time. All of these films spent big, but came up short; as they all spent hundreds of millions of dollars, only to see measly returns. But are these films that bad? Well let's see. We have the following films: Cutthroat Island, Mortal Engines, The 13th Warrior, The Lone Ranger and John Carter; with the last 2 costing their respective studios over $200 Million! But are these films even what you would call: Bad Movies? Well in some cases, yes. In some cases, maybe not?

Hey guys, wanted to reupload this one as this is in line with my new format. Might move some of my older reviews over too. Or if you haven't seen this video yet, hope you like it!
Glad to see this is reuploaded. I was watching this video earlier today and midway through it, it said it was set to private lol
2:50 That stunt was incredible but I only just noticed that it wasn't one big stunt. It was 2 seperate shots so that they timing of the fall and the horse carriage didn't have to be perfect. You can just barely see the transition at 2:53 if you pay attention to the positioning of Geena Davis. Still really good though
EDIT: Actually I just played it in slow motion and I'm not too sure if I'm right . Davis' hair in a couple of frames looks kinda cropped so It gives me the sense that it was cropped around Geena Davis and that's how they stitched together 2 different takes, although it's hard to tell, and considering it's an older movie then the stitching of the 2 sperate takes shouldn't look that good, so I could be wrong about all of this lol
@@t6kr958 Yeah, it does look like a transition in hindsight. But that's kinda even more impressive. Considering it was 1995. The kind of VFX to pull this transition off didn't exist really at the time. Kudos to the guys who worked on this scene! Cos I totally missed this uptil now.
Honestly, reuploads like this would give me an excuse to rewatch these goated videos so I'm all for it.
Return of the King aka The Unusual Suspect. Welcome back man. Youve always been my favorite guy on CZcams.
Carolco Pictures going bankrupt because of *"Cutthroat Island"*
also caused a $90 million movie that
Sylvester Stallone was to star in get canned.
That film was called *"ISOBAR",* which was to be directed by Roland Emmerich (after the 1st director Ridley Scott had
left the project) and the monster FXs were to be done by Oscar-winning guru Rick Baker (after another FX legend H.R. Giger left the project).
In that film, Stallone was to play a reluctant hero who goes up against a genetically-engineered monster plant with tentacles that got loose in a underground 5-story subway train en route from Los Angeles to Tokyo. Alongside Stallone, the cast includes Kim Basinger, Jim Belushi, screen legend Walter Matthau, and Michael Jeter.
Whoa! That's very interesting! Honestly, might make a video one day talking about cancelled projects. We on earth are in desperate need of that alternate reality tv boxset thing from Rick and Morty.
For the record, that was before Cutthroat that this was being pitched. Carolco and Stallone have a freakin' history of cancelled projects.
You mentioned ISOBAR, but he was also attached to do a comedy about feuding neighbors where it would have been Stallone vs. John Candy and written AND directed by John Hughes and was going to begin production after he was done Curly Sue, but it never got off the ground.
And then...there's GALE FORCE. described in the screenplay as "Die Hard in a hurricane" where Stallone played "an ex-Navy SEAL who has to fight against a group of modern pirates who attack a coastal town during a large, catastrophic hurricane". That went through many rewrites and was eventually bought by Carolco with Renny Harlin to direct, but he wanted creative control and in the long run, realizing that the budget was going to be way too high to figure out how to do some of the sequences, canned it 2 weeks before production started.
It's okay though, because Stallone, Harlin, and crew moved on to another project. A little movie called CLIFFHANGER...which somehow was DOUBLE the budget of Gale Force, but according to sources, Tri-Star (among other distributors) was able to help with funding, which meant that Carolco didn't get much of the net profit, even though the movie was a smash ($255M worldwide).
Yeah, no wonder they went out of business.
@@KillFriskey
Stallone must've like the *"Gale Force"* story that it almost became *"RAMBO 4",* before we got the final version in 2008. In that story, John J. Rambo was
to return to his home town and meets his brother who is Sheriff, but he gets kicked out due to his involvement in Vietnam and the first 3 films. But then he comes back in order to save his brother from escaping criminals he put
in jail who plan to kill him. Also, this was to take place during a big hurricane.
@@Suspect_Green There's a lot of interesting cancelled projects to talk about. The channel, Supervoid Cinema, talks about a lot of cancelled projects.
@@Suspect_GreenYou could fill that entire video with JUST recent Warner Bros movies, if you wanted to 😅
This was one of my favorite videos from you, hope this re-upload get you great views
My problem with The Lone Ranger was that Tonto was pretty much the main focus of the movie and the lone ranger just took a back seat to him, which I found off putting seeing that the title suggests that we would see more of the Lone Ranger. If they really wanted people to know that the movie would be centered around Depp’s character, it probably should have been called “Lone Ranger: The Ballad of Tonto” or something.
One thing about _The 13th Warrior_ is that it is a 'realistic' adaptation of _Beowulf_ (where Grendel is actually a tribe of raiders), combined with the memoirs of the real life 10th century world traveler ibn Fadlan.
No, seriously. If you aren't aware of that, the whole film makes no sense.
I'm not sure how much sense it makes if you do know it, but it does help. It's an OK film, if I remember well enough, but confusing as hell as it is.
It has perfect sense without knowing this. Btw, I'v read Beowulf and never seen connection, until I found it in web. Most of movies he discusses here are pretty good. They bombed becouse of over top budget and competition with some other movies.
0:55 Update this to include Dial of Destiny and The Marvels,
Haha, yeah; 2023 was full of bombs. Made this a bit too early!
@@Suspect_Green Yup, 2023 had more bombs than WWII. Hell the Marvels didn't even make back it's production budget, which when you factor marketing and everything else, means the movie likely lost Disney $300 + Million.
In 2023 there was also: The Flash, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Shazam: Fury of the Gods. Overall superhero films flopped last year with the exception of Across the Spider-Verse. Mission Impossible 7 also flopped, which surprised me.
Great stuff as always. Excited for more movie reviews!
My favorite part of the 13th warrior is when Banderas learned a new language in a matter of a minute by just "listening".
I actually liked John Carter tbh.
I remember watching this when it came out but happily watch it again, your content really enjoyable :)
Suicide Squad 2 was really good, everyone practically loved it a lot more than the first, yet for some damn reason it didn’t get its money back, what the hell?!
Cinemas still under covid restrictions at the time, so probably didn't help. I don't think cinema has ever fully recovered and probably never will. My local multiplex opened at 10am every weekday beforehand. Now it's usually 12. And only earlier if there's a blockbuster out.
Sadly, these movies are better than 95% of the movies Hollywood has made in the last 8 years, but I like a lot of movies that I know are bad. Different strokes for different folks Lol. Reny Harlin also directed Gina Davis in The long kiss goodnight. It's a really good spy thriller with Samuel L. Jackson. He said in an interview that the character Mitch from long kiss is the favorite role he's ever played and the interview was on the Tonight show with Jimmy Fallon 5 yrs ago. It's one of my favorite Christmas movies. The lone Rangers biggest problem was it treated Tonto as the main character and they got criticized for Johnny Depp playing a Native American. Great video!
Loving the new format! Keep it up!!!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
You do know that Renny Harlin also did Prison, Nightmare On Elm Street 4 and Deep Blue Sea. Just thought I'd help you out in that area. He's not that too terrible of a director he's had admittedly bumps in his road
I welcome a good reupload,
keep em comin
i like rewatchin!
Nice Your back Ross since your my favourite CZcamsr!
May I suggest for future video like TV adaptations that are faithful or better like Percy Jackson, The Last of us, Reacher & maybe upcoming ATLA Netflix series that could be good? :)
Just gonna say it, The 13th Warrior is a legit good movie. It's got solid acting, some seriously tense scenes and it's pretty awesome to watch. Especially love the scene where the vikings start out speaking more Nordic language which Ackmad can't understand, yet slowly as he starts to understand it, English is added in up until they are speaking English, showing he finally understands the language. It's simple but brillaint.
It's a fun scene, but it really makes no sense at all. You can't just learn a language in one evening by just watching people speak, you would have no frame of reference to what they're even saying.
13th Warrior is great though.
@@Arphemius I believe the implication is that he does it gradually, over a long period of time as obviously traveling from where they were to where they were going took a while.
Agreed, 13th Warrior is a really good movie.
@@ArphemiusThey show it changing from day to night, weather changes etc. Its never implied he learns it overnight.
I've always liked the 13th Warrior.
I liked "Mortal Engines" ... Ok, I'm not saying it's the best film ever, but it entertained me. I kinda liked the world/athmosphere.
The story is the weakest link, but.. Overal, I've seen way worse.
Yeah, in hindsight, it's not terrible. It's just... that 'ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴɴᴀ ᴅɪᴇ, ɴᴏ, ɪ'ᴍ ɢᴏɴɴᴀ ʟɪᴠᴇ' line broke me, haha :)
I'm surprised Heaven's Gate didn't even make the list. That's the Michael Cimino project that cost United Artists ~$40 million in 1980, which is ~$125 million in 2020.
btw what do you do to make your greenscreen look sooo crisp
it's very well done I must say
Thanks! Honestly, I feel I need improvement on the lighting (gonna work on this when I make the move to a garage which I'm renovating atm). But to remove the green, I use tools in After Effects like keylight, key cleaner and advanced spill suppressor. Sometimes I also use the refine soft matte tool. Sorry, if you don't use AE, that'll make no sense. But it's how I do it :)
@@Suspect_Green As I thought proper lighting is a big aspect
AE certainly does the trick so maybe I should think about getting that down the line
Thx mate
Great video.
Thanks!
Cmon no waterworld? Thats probably the posterchild of box office bombs along with *BAAAARF* mars needs moms.
Happy to revisit this one 👍
A Princess of Mars was published in 1912 and not 1917.
2:35 - I hear good things about Long Kiss Goodnight.
Truly a cinematic blast! Literally I guess.
I notice that Disney was responsible for some pretty big failures.
I said it the previous time you uploaded this, but I’ll say it again: I liked Mortal Engines.
I do get why it bombed. Frankly there was no effort made in marketing it, at all, that and the book it’s adapting is fairly obscure. And it is fairly generic and confused about the setting.
Could you do a video on early crossover films?
Considering how many bombs their were last year I'd be interested in a sequel to this video covering films like the flash, dial of destiny, the marvels, etc.
Yeah, originally I actually had more films included in the script (talking about films like Waterworld, Mars Needs Moms and Battleship). Might do a sequel to this if it does well here :)
Hey I used to watch your videos years ago but i think it was a different channel name. You were really good.
Yeah, I had to move channel recently as CZcams demonetized it. Had a long hiatus, but I'm back making reviews; hope you stick around! :)
Can you talk about bad movies that were surprisingly successful? And include that some sequels were canceled but some kept coming in. An example of the sequels being canceled was the last Airbender movie.
Good to see him back.
I watched all of these movies except _The Lone Ranger_ and... I enjoyed the hell out of _John Carter,_ had a good time with _Cutthroat Island_ (even though it is pretty clunky), LOVED _The 13th Warrior_ (I'd go so far as to consider it a hidden gem)... and _Mortal Engines_ was fine - it was the Visuals and the Worldbuilding (of an admittedly batshit insane world) that did it for me.
There is one constant through these films though: The high quality of their musical Scores. _13th Warrior_ (by Jerry Goldsmith), _John Carter_ (Michael Giacchino) and *especially* _Cutthroat Island_ (John Debney) are *amazing.*
Im so glad you made the Nick Valentine joke, that was my first thought
The problem with the mortal engines film is that the book is ass, so the film should have never been made (or should have been changed massively)
I would love to see him revisit the topic of video game movies and talk about the most successful ones and why they resonated with people, particularly with fans.
Titan AE was really good. John Carter was also really good never understood the hate it got
Return of the king
Just FYI, this video does not show in my subscription feed. I would have missed it, if I did not click on your channel and see it there as a recent upload.
Yeah; seeing as how this one was a reupload, I opted not to send it to sub feeds.
I liked the 13th warrior. Good alright show.
Michael Chabon worked on the screenplay for John Carter? That explains some of the costume choices I suppose.
You just lost me bagging out Geena’s action chops… I mean Long Kiss Goodnight!
Suspect the GOAT 🐐
Hey in their defence, when I was a little kid I never watched the princess bride and it having princess in the name is exactly the reason why.
"How did Geena Davis get cast in an action movie... oh she was married to the director!" Yeah, who she met on the set of "The Long Kiss Goodnight" one of the best action movies of the 90's. To just say she was knobbing the director is reductive. They'd made a very good movie together and wanted to make another.
Love Cutthroat Island. Great fun.
Love 13th warrior too. Great fun.
Love John Carter three.Greatfun.
Wasn’t there a 70s Lone Ranger that was a comedy? Or am I confusing that with Zorro
I haven't seen either of these, but there was an earlier Lone Ranger adaptation that flopped, and something called Zorro: The Gay Blade, which I assume was a comedy.
That Lone Ranger movie got a lot of bad PR when the studio told the original TV Lone Ranger that he could no longer wear his Lone Ranger mask at public appearances. There was an episode of Night Court that had a similar scenario.
As a Finn.... I'm so so sorry for Renny Harlin and "Cutthroat Island" -.-
Transformers one broke my heart. It was a suicide of the series.
Also i like your videos. But i would suggest making shorter videos because it gets difficult to watch long videos. They are fun, humourous and nicely edited using your talent. Thank you.
I find it funny that I saw both Lone Ranger AND John Carter in the theater. I did my part, Disney! 🤣
I think with Mortal Engines they were doing a different approach when adapting the books like what they did with the Hobbit and add in details to expand to the story. I figured they wanted to follow the survivors of London the world thought was dead until the 4th book by not destroying London as much as the book implies and probably wait until the second film to really destroy it before the time jump.
Also with Shrike (who had a name change) they most likely expect people to have read the book since he is important to books 3 and 4 along with how the 4th book ends
I liked king Arthur legend of the sword. That's my comment, just wanted to share.
I think John Carter (of Mars) is a really great movie. It suffers from adaptation. I highly recommend it for people who haven't seen it.
You’ll have to do a follow up on this to all of the movies that Marvel released in 2023 that lost easily that much.
I'm like 90% Cutthroat Island failed so hard because of its atrocious name. It *sounds* like something nobody has ever seen. It sounds like a 90s video game.
That Lone Ranger movie wasn't even the first flop film adaptation. There was a previous one made back when the guy who played him on TV was still alive. The studio threatened the old guy with legal action and forbade him from wearing his Lone Ranger costume in public anymore.
The reason I heard for the "John Carter" title change was that it was going to be called "John Carter of Mars", but then the movie "Mars Needs Moms" flopped, and the studio executives panicked and came to the conclusion that everyone must hate the planet Mars, so removed the "of Mars" part of the title.
And the lead actor in that Lone Ranger version ended up getting dubbed. He never acted again
I seen Cutthroat Island, Mortal Engines, & Lone Ranger, enjoyed'em all.
Didn't see 13th Warrior, or John Carter, no real loss.
13th Warrior, or John Carter are great
Man he’s posted 2 videos very quickly.
This one's a reupload, that's why; made this last year :)
John Carter animated just seems to me to be too similar looking to Disney's Treasure Island.
Makes Heavens Gate a masterpiece.
I think Mortal Engines was savage movie.
I've always had a soft spot for "Cutthroat Island" (which I did see in cinemas when it came out). It's not a great movie, but there are plenty of worse movies out there.
I, for one, really enjoyed "The Lone Ranger." 🎠
I seen this vlog when it was new. I didn't like John Carter.
Based on 2023 you can make a sequel video to this.
They didn’t want to use princess because boys wouldn’t see it and didn’t use mars because girls wouldn’t see it so they went with something that didn’t get either to watch it. I remember seeing the trailer for this and thinking what the hell is this even about
What about Havens Gate, I thought that was one of the biggest flops.
20:45 Jack Jump good.
Ok to be fair in John Carter the tarks leader is decided thro trial by combat and Carter had just beat the current leader in that trial so of course they'll fight a war for him hes the boss now
Carter was good. Could have been better but was pretty solid. If it was down to what they titled it that would be pretty depressing, but even the title is marketing I guess
I personally really enjoyed Mortal Engines.
So Mrs little was a pirate
Andrew Stanton directed Wall-E, a love story. He also directed John Carter, which sucked.
These are some good movies far more than those awful Disney-Marvel projects had been doing nowadays
I like Cutthroat Island always have.
Mortal Engines is based on a book from 2001. I'm guessing they butchered it in adaptation.
When did Eminem become a British youtuber?
17:37 Applicable to Armie Hammer in real life too.
So is 15:38
@@irishandproud7119Probably turned him on that scene.
Oh god, Mortal engines. 15 minutes of what you wanted AKA cities battling, and then the rest is a bunch of plagiarism from other things. False advertising, the movie.
I rather like cutthroat Island its a fun movie and worth a watch and what was it number 11 against hmm lets see Toy Story, Yeah nobody went and saw that , Jumangi with Peak Robin Willems (gone too soon) Grumpy Old men with two legendary actors, Heat Pacino and Di Niro when they were mega big. Throw in a very popular Steve Martin and a Leslie Nielson Still riding high on Naked Gun fame suddenly 11 doesn't seem so bad.
Mortal Engines is fine not good it's an Asylum movie with a budget and since I like Asylum movies it's fine.
13th Warrior is a guilty pleasure I have watched it multiple times it is so bad its good in places but it works for me but mileage may vary.
The Lone Ranger is not unwatchable but its just silly, fun but silly.
John Carter I liked but I liked the books so maybe I'm filling in the story a bit with background and missing bit left out but Dune has most of the same problems it is just handled somewhat better
A long kiss goodnight...I mean if you have no concept of that movie then I guess any of other opinion is moot.
And now you're dissing 13th warrior.
Yeah I can't finish this video...
... what a weird person you are. 😂
It's weird to diss a movie the majority of critics didn't like?
"Goodbye Arab!"
Have to say it !
13th Warrior great movie .
Havn't seen better looking Vikings played by actors .
And Tarantino listed The
Lone Ranger as one of his favourites !
Oh my God!
You slagged off John Carter?????????
OK ! I 'm done
😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
Beau is Afraid was a hidden gem of a bomb in 2023
1:36 I so don't care how badly Cutthroat Island did...it was an amazing movie honestly. It's so far underrated.
The Lone Ranger did not deserve to bomb at the box office or get the levels of hate it gets. It’s a fun, action packed, emotional and humorous story that I love to keep watching. Depp and Hammer bounce off each other surprisingly well, and the score really contributes to the epic feeling of it all.
Gena Davis made a great action in Long Kiss good night
