Battlefield Earth has already been brought up twice, so I guess I'll throw my hat in the ring with Cabin Boy, the Chris Elliot/Andy Richter/Brian Doyle-Murray mess that was supposed to launch Elliot's film career as a leading comic actor, a la Jim Carrey or Tom Green. Apparently Tim Burton was involved in the early stages of the project, but bowed out to do Ed Wood, leaving the production crew with, well, yeah. Like the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie, it is certainly one of the movies of all time.
Cabin Boy is objectively terrible, but also I've seen it a half dozen times for some reason. It has it's moments.
