As in like, I get there's really terrible B-movies and shit like Neil Breen's work that ends up on BOTW, but what's the worst movie that actually had a decent sized budget and was made by an actual movie studio and maybe even had some somewhat well known actors in it?

Ooh, that's a tough one. Personally, I'd have to go with Airwolf: The Movie (1984). It's a real piece of shit. It's one of those hilariously pro-American things, the main "good guys" are an absurdly heroic Vietnam vet and the mf'ing CIA director. And the bad guys are just some generic middle eastern people, because of course they are. And that's just the movie's terrible politics, it's just a shitty movie all around. Cringeworthy acting, completely stupid script, cheap special effects, forced romance subplot... just bad all around.

The sad thing is, when I was a kid, it was one of my favorite TV shows. I don't specifically remember the movie, but I'm sure I loved it. I thought the helicopter was the coolest thing ever. Seeing it again as an adult, I realize it's just a regular boring TV news chopper with a black paint job and some fake cardboard guns glued on. This fucking movie has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, it's just a godawful propaganda flick.
